So, just how bad is pan & scan compared to widescreen?
Time
First off, I appologize if this is the wrong section; I thought this would be the best place for it. A question for all you tech-savvy people here: I have the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars in full screen; the only place I can see a major difference is the opening crawl. Can someone show me a few comparison shots, particularly those where you lose most???
thanks,
Kevin

A concept for a TV series: Jedi Apprentice?
Time
Yeah, I'm referring to those kid books that were written as a money-making gimmick for the PT. But, the first one is written very well - then, they switched authors (newer one was eh-ish by comparison).

Anyway, for anyone who has read these, wouldn't you want to see a TV series - or perhaps even just a fan movie (flash or LA) showing the story of the first one, from the perspective of ghost (I'm sure there's another term for that...) Obi-Wan? You konw, it could start out something like this.


DAGOBAH

(((a voice seeming far off, or perhaps subtitles as getting an Alec Guiness impersonator would IMO disrespect him))) Oh! Hello there, young one. If you're seeking Yoda, he has passed away. I am Obi-Wan, and I was a student of his.

Oh, I see; you can't see me, but you can just barely hear me. With proper training in the force, perhaps you could see me.

*sigh* it seems only yesterday when I was almost a farmer... do you care to hear my story?



END SCENARIO

Something to that effect.

A sample chapter of the first book is available at http://www.scholastic.com/titles/starwars/jedisamp1.htm

Reviews are available at http://www.amazon.com/Rising-Force-Star-Wars-Apprentice/dp/0590519220

I have a bad feeling that this idea won't be received well...
