Probably Amazon guessing at the content based on past issuings.

In my opinion, it depends on how you want to listen to them. If you're in a recording studio with perfect speakers, you'll want lossless. If you're in a car or at home listening casually, a CD will be just fine. If you're listening on in-ear headphones while you're jogging, MP3 is fine.

Digital Bits has some more... bits:

And in other news, Sony Music and Sony Classical have just announced that they’re re-issuing all 6 of John William’s classic Star Wars film soundtracks on vinyl box set (SRP $229.98), CD/DVD box set ($74.98), and lossless digital download (192kHz/24bit – no lossless download link is yet available, but we suspect HD Tracks and Pono Music will have it available). There’s also a “Mastered for iTunes” version available on iTunes for $49.99. Worldwide street date for all is 1/8/2016.

Got my Captain America today!

Yes, we caught it. In our webs.

Damn to the depths of hell the idiots who are responsible for this ludicrous display of poor taste.

Watched all of Rebels this week. I really enjoy it. It's Clone Wars mixed with the OT mixed with Firefly.

I do wonder how they're going to end it eventually, because having two fully trained Jedi and a kid with 5 years experience on Luke would probably come up in conversations during the OT. ;-)

Coming from the Trek side, people say it's because Bad Robot is trying to take over, but that's the really negative side. Personally, I think it's them politely saying their fan film is garbage and they'd rather not do Trek at all. ;-)

"high definition downloads" could mean anything. Until the reviews come in, I expect whatever the most recent versions of the soundtracks are, but bundled together.

Right, sorry.

That has been a long time in the making and all the drama that surrounded it eventually being acquired.

A milestone indeed. Well done! Is it the actual sculpture you got modified, or totally a scratch built new sculpture?

In case you missed it:

And eventually they'll send it to me. ;-)

LOL

I googled "vader veers" to find an image of it, first result is from here! Then I noticed the path is in my photobucket! Apparently, I've laughed at this here before.

I'm 10000% sure this has already been covered, but it's easier to just ask than search through 1276 pages - when Vader turns around to talk to Veers just before the Hoth battle and the camera does the awkward pan... did ady say whether or not he'd fix this? 

Cheers

Thanks, Anchorhead!

There's probably going to be more and more press about fan edits as December approaches. Should I start a topic to collect it?

 Should I order us a pizza? I already did.

If you want your own domain, you have to get it hosted somewhere outside of Wordpress.com. I've never migrated anything from the free wordpress.com to a domain, but I imagine it would be simple.

I'll go ahead and give you my examples:

http://doubleofive.wordpress.com is my simple blog, doesn't do much, if anything.

http://www.gingerthreads.net is my wife's shop. It's a WP instance hosted on JustHost. Change of template, some free addons, it's like a completely different thing.

If your Blu-ray player can handle MKV files, try to load the full HD file on a hard drive and play it straight from there.

That or really, Blu-ray burners are like $75.

I use WordPress, both the .com free hosting and the plug-in on actual paid hosting. WP has a crazy amount of plugins that you can do pretty much whatever you want with a basic theme on the hosted version. The free version is enough to get news out there (see the SWR blog).

As for hosting, I use JustHost for the business pages I've set up. The price is decent and they have some easy-to-use tools for your domain email and backup. And WordPress (and other formats) is just a button push away from installation.

I'm sure it looks fine, but the compression of a, what, 18 GB file into a 7.5 standard definition disc has got to be pretty bad.

Oh, you're probably talking about the AVCHD, the DVD that plays HD files on your Blu-ray player. That's not bad at all. Just some light compression artifacts, maybe.

Decided a few months ago to put our house on the market and move into a townhouse, as wed finally decided that home-ownership was not for us. We're about to sign our final acceptance before closing, so I'm super excited to not have to pay for two houses anymore!

New news!
