Sorry Vigo. I was refering to the SE version as they seemed to have up the colours a lot. The OOT looked fine to me.

Yes, and the foot in the door has GOUT. Sorry, couldn't resist. I watched both versions; GOUT last night and watched the SE with comentary on. The picture was okay, but damn the laser fire kept making me want to convulse. I hadn't seen that much pink flash about since I went to the strip club.

Well keep in mind I've never owned a fan made LD transer for comparison and to date only own Star Wars. I will say the picture is quite nice and will suite any fan's need to do any fan edits in the future. Granted I believe the original crawl was re-created, Greedo's subtitles are on two lines (which will iritate anyone zooming on their 16x9 TV) and the sound mix is from the '93 editions. Overall, I think they're worth it. Granted I haven't purchased a Lucasfilm product since `94 but that's my 2 cents.

Well I picked up Star Wars today and will pick up Empire and Jedi next month. I ran it on a 32" 4:3 set so I can't comment on the letterbox. I'm quite pleased with this. First time seeing the film in widescreen as I hadn't bought (or rather kept) any of the previous Lucasfilm releases so I was feeling like a kid again. The only problem I found and wonder if it's due to a disc layer change or chapter change, but just at the end of the scene were Tarkin says to execute Leia and then it cuts to the Falcon in hyperspace, I get a sound pop. Has anyone else experience this? Should I return it for a new disc?

This is quoted from msn news on some of the riches celebs. I think George came in third.

George Lucas
2005 pay: $235 million*

Pay per minute: $447**

Someone forgot to tell George Lucas that his Star Wars prequels aren't any good. He keeps making them, however--and counting the cash. Every minute, Lucas could purchase 25 copies of the Episode III--Revenge of the Sith DVD on Amazon.com. The question is, Why would he want to?

GOUT is a condition in which uric acid, a waste product that occurs naturally occurring within the body, rises above normal levels. Rather than being flushed by the kidneys and through the urine, as it normally is, it forms crystals and deposits in the joints. These deposits give rise to inflammation of the joints, causing pain, swelling, redness and tenderness of the area. Most typically the joint affected is that of the big toe, but gout can also affect the ankle, knee, foot, hand, wrist and elbow. Uric acid crystals may also form deposits in other areas such as under the skin or in other soft tissues, and in the kidney or urinary tract.

You might want to rethink that.

Don't get me wrong, if I were in the same position Falle and Jupiter Prime were in regarding their cover sites I'd go with the donation route myself. I think the pay access POV is to limit the spread of an artists content in the internet. I see this in a lot of the pay cover forums. Many of the artists would prefer those seeking out their work to go straight to the source. Now, in Coov's and Rik's case (correct me if I'm wrong) they only create Star Wars content and this is the source to showcase their work. OT.com isn't a pay site, but if it were I'm sure they'd want others to go straight to the source for their covers (ie here). I'm sure when Sith Angel gets his site online, he'll go the pay or donate route too. I think it's our nature to want a little compinsation for our efforts even if they come from copyrighed material. What if you commisioned a local artist to draw a picture of Spider-man for example. So what I tell you is true, from a certain point of view.

Yeah, that is a lot of whining.

Seriously, would it kill someone to just pony of a small amount over at Nova Station to just download them? It does take time to make these things you know. Hell, I'd work on mine, but I'm in the middle of a move so it'll another month before I get back to them.

Either that or all the people buying them are going to flood eBay in January for people like myself that may not get them in time (can only buy 1 a month - poo!).

Darth-Adroit you're idea is sound, however... you've forgotten that there are proposed 3D versions of the saga in developement. That's the reason there will be no HD or Blu-ray releases. Maybe Lucasfilm is secretly developing their own technology via holographic projection. I'm sure the patents will make them more money.

Oh... and here's food for thought.

For those that do fan edits and continue to tweak them as new source material comes out... are you all to some degree like Lucas himself? HAHAHA! It's a symbiotic relationship. Okay, I know you can't read into sarcasm online but that's what it was. I respect those that have the skill to do such things here as they may be the future film makers of hollywood.

That set there was made by Sith Angel which is awesome! He even did some covers for many of the fan edits people have made here, so it's quite complete. He's also made thinpak versions of them if any of you use those case sizes.

Yeah, looks like I'll be getting them too now. I keep changing my mind, it's getting a little crazy in here. I think Lucas is more like Jabba the Hutt in appearance and attitude. Has a whole bunch of yes men around to do his bidding while he sits on his ass and calls the shots. As to more changes to the saga set, I'm not surprised. I'm starting to think the only reason DVD's of the OT were released is to help pay for the studio move.

Wait! Lucas will be the first human clone. So then will it'll be an infinate number of Lucas' at an infinate number of editing machines will eventually produce a copy of the Star Wars Saga Lucas Template 1 will enjoy? Or will they accidently create a Star Wars Saga that spouts Shakespeare?

I agree. More than likely why I'll do some alternate character. That's the good thing about this template, less work to do after you have all the credits done and shite.

Fixed it above; well almost. Because of the previous glow, the tip looks like it's not glowing enough.

This is why I held out on buying anything Star Wars related for home viewing. Although, I am starting to get the itch as I haven't seen the OT in a few years.

Update on Episode III with Darth Sidious. Couldn't get rid of the pink saber as it was part of the image. Decided to go with a more dark orange-red for the background.
