Ripplin, are you talking to me? Expressing our concern to the media will not work because 95% of all mainstream media is under the slavery of right-wing corporate synergy, and they sure love profits! Bootlegs cannot fill this void because even the Dr.Gonzo set has missing footage! Nothing can stop Lucas from destroying the originals now, because "free-market economics" will eventually villify him, when the true reality is that the motherf****r is so stubborn to refuse to even doing a 5min anamorphic transfer, which the entire DVD industry uses now and would be essential as writing essays in college.

Don't worry, Im just venting some anger. At least I have the originals on VHS which I bought in 1997...

The entire fate of the OOT is spelled out for the next year: it will bomb, and it will never ever be released again, becuase Lucas deliberately made it letterbox to make one last stab for the kill. Then the OOT will be gone for good.
SW trilogy RIP

A dvd set that currently rates 1.5 stars on amazon (out of 5)?
I never knew what anamorphic was a week ago, but at least I learned they will be shoddy

I can't think of a "sudden" and more useless character in the entire star wars saga than General Greivious. (except Jar Jar)

Grateful we are not. Accept this I cannot.

If this is going to be the final,absolute release of the OOT, the the anamorphic v. Letterbox issue is out the window, and I'll sell everything I have on DVD concerning SW so I don't have to really pay a cent for bad tranfers. (I don't have any bootlegs) But in reality, I'm avoiding this like the plauge.

You know what, Im just ignoring the SE

I dislike little in the OT, and I can handle Ewoks despite contreversy, but I felt that the brother-sister pairing of Luke and Leia was made up for Jedi, don't get me into any other details (especially that scene in Empire where Luke asks to be saved and Leia senses him)

Good idea, ritker. But I decided on the Dr. Gonzo set. So how the hell do I get it?

you're right. letterbox isn't too bad, but that is not the intention for the dvd format. What I am really protesting is that Lucas is attempting to destroy the originals by presenting them in an obsolete format in order to lean favor for his mutilated vison. Personally, I draw the line between liking and hating the SE's with Jedi Rocks. It sounds like Tina Turner on crystalmeth.

I want to get the Dr. Gonzo versions of the OOT, but do I need to have an account with a P2P system like BitTorrent, because I am uncertain of using this system, you know, concerns about piracy and all.

You know what, 5 years in prison and that 250,000 dollar fines are looking better and better...
I don't want to cave in to buy the cheapest dvd's in human history, even if they are the last available releases of the OOT. I made the gravest mistakes getting any star wars movie on DVD. Lucas is in some absolute downward spiral. This is the last straw of the last straw.
I vehemently hate corporate America because of him.

That is what sepeartes the difference between the OT and the PT. The prequels are virtually absent in the modern mythology

Right on Darth evil. I actually watched the OOT with a friend at college a month ago, and it was awesome. It was probably the first "actual" viewing of the original trilogy. I am fortunate enough to have a faces vhs set that has Han shooting first and the line "you dont taste too good". Of course, there is a sound mix thing i don't understand, but even though i saw the SE first in the theater, I consider this the trilogy I grew up with.

oh, it needs to stay a preservation project, it would be much better than LFL's DVD.

BTW, does anyone know how to get a fanmade DVD of the original star wars trilogy without having to email ritker. I desire a copy for myself, but don't want to get into any illegal mumbo-jumbo. That is just wrong.

tht's it- I'm looking for an editdroid edition or any other fan transfers! And does anybody know how to get the XO project or a reply from their mailing list, cause lucasfilm has acted the lowest form of corporate marketing in the history of capitalism. I'm even betting this will not even be in color and in some obscure slavic dialect with english subtitles.

I tried for 5 seconds to record my 95 faces vhs onto dvd, but the recorder said something about copyrights and being unable to record. Has anyone recorded this set onto dvd-r, or should i do something else?

first, i'd like to say i'm a long time visitor, first-time "boarder"

Now I was stoked when they were going to release the OOT, but I've subsided after learning they were letterbox and not the standard anamorphic. Lucasfilm hit a new low introducing a beloved trilogy into a obsolete and substandard format. What world do we live in if such cinematic wastes of plastic such as showgirls, batman and robin, and leonard part 6 get anamorphic, deluxe releases and the OOT can't? A slovakian bootleg of SW from the 80's recorded on cheap dvr's are going to have better quality that this release!

Nethertheless, the OOT is a hundered times better than the SE or the PT, and I prefer Jedi over Episode III any day in the week.
