The [Max Rebo] band played at Jabba's Palace during Luke Skywalker's attempt to free Han Solo and later played at their execution over the Great Pit of Carkoon. The band barely escaped the catastrophe that followed, jumping to safety as the Sail Barge blew apart.

I never understood why Jabba killed the green girl instead of the fat lady with 6 breasts.
YOU LEAVE FAT DANCER ALONE!

I found this out a few years ago when the only action figure in the entire store was her. WHY do we need a fat dancer toy??
It's supposed to be released the last I heard. (sure hope it is!!!)
Thanks!! :-))
Cool news. The 97 LDs have that color fluctuation. Supposedly in the restoration they tried to match Lucas's technicolor print for SW. (Wonder what happened to that print?) Some scenes look good, while others not so much...
Really looking forward to this. Could I get a pm of the NTSC DVD and mkv?
I've thought about this idea, but wouldn't the color need lots of tweaking to match?
Also, is there any version that doesn't paint Mos Eisley pink?
The thing I don't get is why no prints of the 97SE ever turn up. They made a bunch up for the re-release and you'd think some would be floating around.
SW: As much as I watch others, I still reach for the Puggo Grande. This has really brought the movie back to life for me. Saturation, pops, scratches, reel changes, grain, hiss, warts, MONO!, and I feel like a 7 year old. Brilliant. And the Krieg is really fun too.
ESB: Ady's Theatrical Reconstruction.
ROTJ: GOUT or DJ's V1.
Otherwise I still like to pop in the 97SE LDs for old times sake. Need to clear up HD space to check out Harmy's.
I'm actually not really a fan of either scene. The musical number idea does not really fit the film at all. (It may also be because I simply hate musicals..but to each their own.)
The original Lapti Nek sequence fit the laid-back, mysterious and smoky atmosphere of Jabba's Palace almost like some of the musical sequences in Casablanca does for the laid-back, mysterious, and smoky atmosphere of Rick's. The new sequence has CGI aliens coming out at the screen...(soon to be in 3D...oh dear god...) complete with red lips and dripping saliva. It's not the absolute worst thing in the world, but it really doesn't fit the movie at all.
So...bad puppets in the background or bad CGI aliens in the extreme foreground-you take your pick.
Non-newsgroup shares would be greatly appreciated!
Wow! These covers look great, and the SE V2s are done!! Many many many thanks DJ.
Not Inception.
Double flees back to the Tosche Station to find power converters are out of stock and finds...
Adventures of Robin Hood-Bluray-first time seeing in HD and it simply breathes like the DVD never could. A steal at under $10!
My holiday has been terrible...until the folks at Warner sent me this lovely greeting...complete with candlelight!!! (Barry Lyndon!!!)
Happy Valentine's everyone.
Nothing will ever be like Kane. Ever. Nothing can equal Welles's phenomenal energy on his first film. Even he couldn't. (Well, he did on Ambersons but then that was butchered. And he did on Shanghai but that was butchered. He even did on Touch of Evil and you can feel it in the restoration.)
OK this is too fun.

If only someone could figure out how to decode the theatrical DTS discs of the SE's that are floating around...
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
Does anyone actually have any of these?
Crusade is tired and uninspired. Temple at least has energy to it. I don't mind the shrilling, cheesy jokes, and screaming because that's what belongs in that particular film. It's meant to be a completely different experience from Raiders.
In the mid 80's Spielberg's positivism hadn't fully been realized. Post Empire of the Sun anything is possible. I don't think he ever had that much influence on SW, but if he had directed ROTJ then things would be completely different. (More ewoks for example.) I do think he made Raiders brilliantly because he knew everything was riding on it for his career to continue. Temple is a simpler serial film that happened to be made in 1984. Last Crusade is a tired and lumbering dinosaur.
As for Indy IV, I'd blame bad scripts, bad choices, both Lucas and Spielberg, David Koepp, and the stupid decision to wait so damn long.
The real question is: Who the hell is lobotomizing our filmmakers?
