Lads - you've obviously forgotten that the floors of 1977 are vastly inferior to the floors of 2004 - technology has caught up, moved on - so to speak.

Even flooring filmed at the time of shooting AOTC was inadequte - so only CGI flooring aka 'flooring of the future' would suffice...

^ I havn't m8, tho that sounds funny.

It's a shame that Saavik wasn't used (instead of Valeris) in The Undiscovered Country - would've made films 2, 3 and 6 into a cool trilogy.

Another bit of info:-

The DS9 writers originally drafted the end of DS9 with the Federation LOSING the war with The Dominion (though TPTB nixed it) - I know it would be very UnTrek of them to have an ending like that - but it would have opened up interesting possibilites for a new series (instead of ENT) and even an intriguing ending for VOY...

I never noticed that missing bit until it was pointed out here - how long is the welding sequence? (a couple of seconds?)

As far as I know (which isn't a lot) they aren't available as a torrent yet.

Is it mostly them all talking about the '97SE's or Star Wars before that?

Hi and welcome Brias

Could you give us a bit of info on your set - like is it anamorphic or letterbox, the sound type, which laserdiscs did you source them off etc?

There’s a load of Star Wars websites and forums out there - many good, many not.

How about sharing some the sites that we all visit?

(Paply got Schmi drunk, had his way - she refuses to acknowledge the event and refuses him access to the kid - this sends him a little overboard and he unhatches a fiendish plot to get to know his son)

Episode II

THE CLONE WAR

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic
Republic. Over a thousand star
sytems, under the leadership of
the mysterious Count Dooku, have
declared their intention to seceed
from the Republic.

This seperatist movement has
made it nearly impossible for the
limited number of Jedi Knights to
continue maintaining peace and
order throughout the galaxy.

Senator Amidala, former Queen of
Naboo, is returning to Coruscant for
the first time in a decade, to
vote on the issue of creating an
Army of the Republic, to combat
the growing rebellion...

Episode I

BALANCE OF THE FORCE

For a thousand generations, the
Galactic Republic has thrived under
the guidance of the Jedi Knights.
But now, even under the semblance
of peace, a crisis stirs.

The Nemoidian Trade Federation,
outraged by the prohibition of slave
labor in core systems, has seized
the peaceful planet of Naboo with a
blockade of deadly warships.

While the Seante's endless rhetoric
drowns Naboo's cries for justice,
Chancellor Valorum has secretly
dispatched two Jedi Knights to
resolve the conflict...

^ I'm not sure there is enough room (megabytes) on a dvdr for the PCM soundtrack from the TR47 set to be physically placed onto the anamorphic set?

IIRC the reason why the guy who did the anamorphic version said that using the 2.0 option was a lot smaller than the PCM, and that with the chapter stops & commentaries he didn't want to lose too much of the video qualtiy?

I suppose everyone is waiting for a good dual-layered dvd set - I know there's been a couple of dual-layered sets - but they havn't gone down to well in comparison to the single layered versions - one of the d-l sets apparently only used half the 2nd side and some mentioned the pic quality was WORSE!

Hopefully when the combatibilty issues of dual-layered dvd are more known (and the d-l dvds themselves become cheaper) then someone will do a fully utilised dual-layered anamorphic 4 disc set with PCM sound - in the style of the Deinitve Collection laserdiscs (now that's a mouthful

)

^ Cheers TR47.

Are you considering Chapter Stops for the dual layered version?

or decided upon an anamorphic set as well as a letterbox set - or will it be just the one version?
