i'lll be bidding for the laserdisc on eBay then! never knew about this!


The earlier non-anamorphic release has the original audio track but the anamorphic re-release does not so there'd be no need for the laserdisc.

Absolutely. Just give us the original versions how they first played in the cinemas, warts and all. If you have problems with the special effects technology of the time then that's your problem. Get the SE's. Me? I love matte lines and changing saber colours. Give 'em to me!

Just say NO to fixes.

See that's my thing. Also, if they release it in fullscreen, wouldn't that mean that the part of the picture that you ARE seeing be in the highest-res the OOT has EVER been released in? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Yeah, and? Theoretically they could scan in the image zoomed into - not just 4:3 - but beyond... so that all we get are close ups of lips and ears and glasses of blue milk. They'd be in the highest-res ever released on video but without context they're worthless. That said, you're quite right in your assumption. The difference between an anamorphic 2.35:1 transfer and a 4:3 fullscreen one ain't that great enough to warrant a fullscreen release, I believe. I suggest anyone wanting one for mere nostalgia purposes simply use the zoom button on their DVD player and let the DVD makers utilize their time and energy on more important pursuits...

My other two questions were....

1. If this is REALLY pressed from the original prints from 77-83, then we should be seeing the original subtitles BURNED IN, in their original font, right? That means we get Return on the Jedi with no misspelled subtitles, and no player-generated stuff that looks like garbage.


Not neccessarily. Those subs would've been the last thing put on since different territories would have different language requirements. Its easy enough to subtitle a scrawl but you don't wanna subtitle subtitles. My bet is that they'll be player-generated to accommodate the various language requirements of the format. Don't worry - I'm sure someone here will come up with a burnt-in version down the line!
