I think the original trilogy should be preserved. But I also accept the new trilogy. And I enjoy the enhanced trilogy too. I really think that Lucas should have had the old version and the new version side by side in the dvd in the first place. It is kinda a rip that I have to buy them all over again. But at least that means I can give the enhanced versions to my little bro cause he appreciates the films as much as I do.

Oya, if you wanna see where the battle begun feel free to scroll back a few pages.

Well, if the 2nd pic didn't give it away I woulda thought the 1st image was real. No offence to anyone but I have heard of large lines whenever they have premieres of the new Star Wars movies. I think they started gathering around a month before it's premiere.

Anyway, those are a bunch of dead people,that's what it looks like to me.

So stop asking for him to make DVD's that way. Yes, you can make the dvd support all of a DVD players options but that doesn't make it any truer to the original movie. That is the main reason to buy the release.

P.S. I read the anamophic faq things posted in the forum days earlier so get off the subject.


Are you a fool. the whole trilogy was filmed on 2.35.1 anamorphic film!!!!!!!!. they filmed it with a Panavison amnamorphic camera!


If that is the truth then I withdraw my arguments about the movie not being anamorphic. But I really don't care if the movie is released in letterbox. Letterbox has always worked for me.

What scene in the (O-)OT do you hate/dislike the most?

I like the real emporer being used in ESB, and the Anakin in ROTJ.

Well, Greedo don't shoot first so much in ANH as he used to. I guess it bothers me but not that much. I guess I hate them aliens in ROTJ. Yeah it's not a problem exclusive to the SE but I think they put in too many of them. They were really cheesey and the folds on that elephants arms were unatural looking. I would of loved it they CG'd the monsters for the new version. I really think that all new remasters should have the original version attatched. That way the new versions can be more appreciated or avoided altogether. That's why they wound up having to attatch the original ET with the enhanced version. Cause people didn't want the new version. Or they want to have the original version to accompany it.

I mean, come on now. If you're trying to say anamorphic is altering the original version somehow, you are a complete and total idiot.


The aspect ratio had no name but that is the dimentions used.

And for the others stop with the name calling. That itself is 5 year old behavior.

I say F*** conformity. I don't need to fit in with the fanboys who blindly hate Lucas. While we are on the subject of changing aspect ratios we should make up wish lists. I say they need to make a Gameboy ratio. One that fits into the size of a gameboy in case they ever make a starwars emulator for it. That's about as reasonable a request as having aspects ratios that are mere inches different than the real ratio. I say any dvd with aspect ratios that are a inch off from what we want should never be made or purchased.

You all remember that the Emporer is a Jedi too right? It's pretty likely that he knows about the Ghost thing since he studied alot about it, even the dark side. I imagine he may have got around to teaching Darth since he was his apprentice for so long. Or he was taught about something similiar and He learned how to relate the info to being a ghost.

As for Qun honn or whatever his name was it could be that perhaps his body dissapears later offscreen since he didn't go williingly.

Hiro is japanese. He is the main hero of a game called Lunar 2. I am a gamer. Come visit the website I help run http://www.thegshi.org . Or just google my name and you'll see I been around awhile. Probably longer than the spammer you are trying to compare me to.

Don't forget that any Star Wars movie made after the original was made for the sake of making money. Hell Lucas didn't even play the same role in the 5th episode as he did previous. He had someone else write alot of it didn't he? Just like the HD show.

I only watched the show for the first time a few days ago so That guy is different from me.

And Scruffy, I do know very well how lame training videos can be, however, while they may be cheesy and corny whatever else, they usually stop short of a woman singing to a bunch of drunken aliens to go home for the night because the bar is closing.


The military at times of war have sent musicians to perform for them so perhaps that is sorta what this is. I mean it don't seem like they get time to watch tv cause that one soldier got a kick out of that Jefferson Starship hologram video thing. So this was a sorta info/entertainment video hybrid.

I have sat through the entirety of the HS and I had wanted to see it for many many years and was very happy when I finally got my hands on a decent enough copy. Then I forced myself with great difficulty to sit through it. I would prefer to consider the novels as canon over this thing. It makes our heros out to be dumb silly gits who can't sing. What was that stupid life day song to the SW tune, horrible. I think it is okay for a curiosity, and I wont jugde certian ones who seem to get excited by the mere mention of it, but I certainly don't feel those who have not seen it have missed out on anything.


I don't think any of the heroes came off all that dumb. Sure Han hugged Chewie, but it was a friendly hug of two mutual friends who been thru hell together several times over. And Leia wasn't singing for no reason, she was singing a song that was probably traditional to the Life Day holiday. Just like how we have Jingle bells. And she was really the only one at that ceremony that could sing it. None of the guys wanted to probably, and Wookies probably can't sing very good. From what I could see noone was really out of character, the cheesiest parts came from other aspects.

I think you got to be pretty stupid if you bought a DVD player for the original trilogy when there was no original trilogy available. It's like buying a gameboy so you can play Halo.

Anyway, I'm with the guy that says he'd like the OT but to have the stuff of good quality. I don't want the SE cause that's not the original. I spose if they can edit out the new stuff it won't bother me so much. But only if they really did remove everything that wasn't originally there.

Decided “Life on Tatooine” should be required viewing for the clone troopers? I’m inclined to think that it was Anakin who choose it cause he grew up around that area. But the singing sequence makes me believe that Palpatine may have had a hand in it cause you know how he likes to go to shows. Like when he’s looking at that electic globe thing in Episode 3. He probably wanted to have something artsy in the material.
