^ if the dvd versions turn out not to be the cinematic releases - ahem -, (as advertised and inferred) you could always do what Mr.Coffee is gonna do and demand your money back off of Fox - I doubt they'd come around and collect the dvds off you (or would they?)

(continued from Rikter’s post above)…

Some Threepio dialogue uses different takes. The additional lines (“The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations. A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave…”) are missing from the laserdisc version.
The echo in the core shaft (“I think we took a wrong turn…”) is present in both versions. However, the echo is more pronounced in the laserdisc version–probably because the video is missing the surround channels.
The laserdisc is missing the now-famous “Close the blast doors!” line.
Intership voices during the final battle are not synthesized.
During the final battle, “countdown” voices on the Death Star and at the Massassi base on Yavin IV are completely different.
Luke’s line on the laserdisc, “Blast it, Biggs. Where are you?” is different on the pre-ANH video: “Blast it, Wedge. Where are you?” (from the collection of Peter Poulakakos).

Rik - Cheers for the preANH info too, mate.

As I've said before - that's a top service you're providing, DanB.

If I had a dvd writer I'd be tempted to do the same thing here in the UK and offer the OOT for cost and help stop the really high prices (and the selling of other people's covers) of late on ebay. The more people that have the OT on dvd the better.

Make sure you don't finish out of pocket though, m8.

Nice one ChainsawAsh, cheers.

Was Lucas (or one of his companies) one of those who responsible for getting the site taken down - and int o the legal side? If so was it the actual posting of the 2004 dvd covers that got it into trouble? (amongst others)

ChainsawAsh - I remember seeing them on the closed site you spoke of (amongst others) - impressive covers, do you have any pics of what the back covers are like?

Any idea on when that the site will re-open soon?

Hi & welcome soulflare

Those covers are most impressive - esp like the style and backs of SW & ESB - very cool.

Just lately I've noticed (mainly on sci-fi or action films) that the sound on my tv seems to jump quite high in volume when a special effect or loud scene, yet the volume when an actor is talking is quite low in comparison.

Anyone have any ideas on how this could be corrected?

^ I thought the Leia welding scene was on the TR47 set - but not on the anamorphic set?

It would be neat if the missing C3P0 tractor beam line would be included, though.

…and a strange, yet good experience it is too - seeing the opening crawl come up like that.

For me the rawer sound effects in many of the blaster and fighting scenes give it a more intense feel.

(unless it’s the tv on way out again!)

DanB - cool new version of TDC covers, m8.

Is there a version of those TDC covers with all the blue text changed to white out there? (not sure if I dreamt it or not - and if I did dream it I need to take a break from SW for a while

)

I think Sir Alec resented that a lot people from the 1980's onwards only really associated him with the Star Wars films - and was the major topic of converstion whenever a fan met and talked to him.

This is a man who has a lifetime of distinguised acting work - from the Ealing comedies (which I urge anyone to watch for his comedial timing and delivery), to Kafka, A Passage To India, Laurence Of Arabia, Cromwell, Bridge On The River Kwai and Tinker, Talior, Soldier Spy to name but a few.

No probs m8 - was a great idea of snooy47

Before I came across his idea I once went around the in-laws to use their cool printer - though they had Photoshop, a program I'd never used before - I was used to Paint Shop Pro) - it took me hours and fair few mistken print-out trying to size them up correctly...

cost me a few bottles of good wine as a thank you to them, that did

Maybe Luke missed a trick in ROTJ - he should have sent a hologram of Leia instead, I'm sure Jabba would have been more receptive...

Cheers for sharing m8.

It's a pretty good way for those with cover art to show what they have in their collection.

Would certainly be cool to see all of the covers, inserts and disart / disc labels from ppl like Rikter, Cerbero, DanB, Lars and others who done so much work on their covers.

Nice one.

Some very cool covers there m8.

The OT inserts look well sound.

I'm not sure if it's possible to download the pics from there, though.

Thanks for sharing - you may get more of a response if you post them in a seperate thread...

further annoy me by releasing newer editions of his vision every few years? definately
