A fun easter egg... on the bonus disc, go to the DVD credits, and keep clicking "Next," even when you get to the last page. You get a nice little clip from a certain show

I don't have a bonus disc. The discs only contain the movies. It's a 4 disc set but movie 2 is spread over 2 discs.

Did you get a bootleg or something?

Wow, I had forgotten how old this thread was... In any case I was in the market for a new printer than can do direct printing (getting rid of those labels finally) and am looking mainly at Epson's R260 ($79.99 after rebate) and their R38 ($129.99). Any ideas on how either of them would stack up against one another (assuming all I'm looking for is direct to disc as well as regular printing for school work and such)? Thanks guys!

Go for it, dude. I saw the film, but have yet to see the Broadway version.

This sounds similar to the Phantom cut someone did here a while back (though they actually inserted the original soundtrack).

It's a little tricky painting out the menu items in some of the menus (like the Hoth menu from TESB, since there's a probe droid flying behind the menu items), but with some tricks and patience it does work. Also it helped that I work as a CG-guy, so that stuff was pretty straightforward

The whole menu authoring was done with Adobe EncoreDVD.

ANH Menu 1 ANH Menu 2 ANH Menu 3 ANH Menu 4 ANH Menu 5

TESB Menu 1 TESB Menu 2 TESB Menu 3 TESB Menu 4 TESB Menu 5

ROTJ Menu 1 ROTJ Menu 2 ROTJ Menu 3 ROTJ Menu 4 ROTJ Menu 5

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but how could I get ahold of your copies? I've wanted a German version of Star Wars for quite a while (I'm a German major).

No one should ever trust Lowry to retouch the color of there films, they did a complete hack job on star wars.

Where have you seen these reviews? Link?

I was under the impression that most people were happy with the official Indy DVDs. The colour problems with the SW DVDs were not Lowry's fault, but a result of LFL's meddling.

The Indiana Jones DVDs look fantastic. As do all of the Disney films that Lowry did look fantastic... in fact, when Disney went with another company to do the Little Mermaid, the end result was awful. Star Wars looks bad because Lucas took the product back before it could be completed. Hence the shitfest that were the 2004 DVDs.

Very interesting. I am running it now. I will let you know what the results look like.

Update - It actually makes a series of BMP stills - now all I have to do is figure out how to make them into a video file...

You can load those into VirtualDubMod and generate an AVI from that. Usually you pick the first one in the sequence and the program knows how to put them together from there ... assuming they're named correctly.

Correct. I've done it several times. That's also how SFX houses do their effects as well.

Interesting site too. Though I did find an extremely easy way to do this... basically it's a 3D Studio Max file, and you just write your own crawl and texture it over the default one. Looks great!

Any reason you shouldn't use Nero? I've burned several projects with it and haven't had a problem yet (though to be fair I've only viewed two of them).

I think EU does state that the Geonosians did design the DS. I believe the Separatists had contracted the Geonosians to make it so that the Confederacy could blow the hell out of the Republic planets.

Well, that's just retarded. Thank God I don't read that shit anymore.

In any case, I can't help but be reminded of Clerks...

For me, it all started when I was looking for a movie to rent and saw the original trilogy playing on the demo screen the store had set up (the "new" THX Faces editions). It was the beginning of ANH where Vader and the stormtroopers burst through the doors of the blockade runner , tore up ass, and Vader choked Antilles. I knew I had to see that movie. So I rented ANH and just loved everything about it, the timelessness of it, the SFX which were just jaw dropping to me, etc. Luckily my birthday was in the next couple of weeks and I got the entire trilogy on VHS. I wore out those old pan and scan copies like you wouldn't believe.
