go to your local HMV etc ask if they've got any old star wars trilogy dvd boxes were the disks were damaged in transit, put your crap versions in them and voila! bung em on ebay

One thing no one as pointed out yet is that the 1997 and 2004 versions were actually censored slightly now I don't know if it was just here in the UK or if it was done to all countries, things like laser shots hitting imperial officers if I'm not mistaken. Now I wonder if LFL is going to put those edits into the OOT release? I think I'll wait until someone has gone through these dvd's with a fine toothed comb before I shell out my hard earned.

Any thoughts on what's out there? I've seen a few "5-Star Collection" up on Ebay. How do they stack up?

I'm hoping to get the three 1997 SE films with their trailers and the "making-of" docs as extras. Is there anything like that out there now?

allegedly done by the same people who did dual layer silvers of the Indy trilogy (which I have) if they did as good a job as those they should be very watchable.

perhaps we can get some other out of print edits of other films on myspleen now like the ultimate close encounters edit and the theatrical Last of the mohicans.

Presumptions are pointless at this stage, but moaning on about light saber colours and will they get the saturation right etc, is pointless. We don't have a frame of reference for any of these things anymore, as no one has seen the originals in the theatres in years. If you can remember what the colours were like when you last saw the OOT in theatres your a better man than me.

Did someone mention a HD version of the OOT? Keep dreaming because it will never happen. The CG version is the only thing that will be released on future formats.

In a way I don't want this to be true because all those hard working people that do the LD rips (ie the x0 team) will be more or less redundant. Then again if they screw up the brightness or gamma and all the colouring as in the 2004 versions perhaps we could still see life in the old LD's.

As far as I'm aware DD 5.1 didn't hit the theatres until Batman Returns in 1992 although I may be wrong on that. either way it didn't exist when Star wars came out in '77 so I'd vote for the mainstream format for sound which was probably the stereo soundtrack. As far as your other questions go these have been covered so many times on this board that you should be able to find your answers without much searching

Their's a big difference between cleaning up old special effects and putting things in that are obviously going to piss a lot of people off. GL seems to revel in upsetting the fan base as much as he can. Either that or the guy HAS completely lost his marbles.

Well, you learn something everyday, now I think about it that makes sense! Is HD going to use square pixels? If so roll on HD and hopefully a standard set of resolutions for all.

sorry my mistake I just noticed the resize button at the top of Zion's web page, so forget I ever asked.

Interesting that a lot of the letterboxed caps look squashed as well, I thought they would have been resized to roughly 720x306 (minus black bars).

…I have a question. Are all the screenshots resized to all the same resolution? If so I think it would be a good idea to leave them in their native res whenever possible as it would give people an idea of the best caps not just for picture quality but also for geometry. As an example I’ve attached a shot of the editdroid anh. As you can see it’s a pretty good cap qualitywise but it is squashed in the verticle axis and uncropped at the sides.

Joking aside that could happen when Hayden and Ewan are old enough for the roles.
