Spidernap - That's certainly a project that'll keep you busy for a while. Keep up the good work m8.

The MVC cover does look cool - reminds me a little of the 1993 TDC Laserdisc covers. Free trump cards too, eh?

I was under the impression that Digital Lowry were given the job of restoring the disentigrating original prints BEFORE they started making changes for the 97 Special Editions, and that Lowry himself stated that GL has a few digital masters of the original version.

They got a in a huff because someone asked about where the original versions of the film were? I wonder if all the GL top hierarchy feel the same way regarding the original versions...

Hi Spidernap - have you thought about doing a box set cover, one for the Prequel Trilogy and one for Original Trilogy? (when time permits of course)

^ do not underestimate the power of the anamorphic set

I only have a 32" widescreen tv with low-mid range dvd player - I can't really tell the difference between the sound on both versions THAT much, and the anamorphic set obviously 'sits' better on a widescreen tv...

^ I think you mean the covers by Spidernap - they were very cool, I hope he does some more in the same style.

Trying sending him a PM - maybe he can repost them or arrange something.

Nice link. Verbatim have a high reputation here in the UK - that seems to be a very good price too. Compatibilty rating is decent too (according to dvdrhelp.com).

Hopefully, as if by magic, the compatibilty issues will become more detailed in the very near future...

Hi and Welcome Chancellor Todd.

In reply to your question I believe that they (1993 and 1995 laserdiscs) used the same transfer, thought there may be other reasons too?

Could well do with a Bootleg DVD FAQ... that 'bootleg dvd' thread in the General Stars Wars is getting far too large to search for any required info.

Good thread, and another example of GL descending from a good storyteller to a CGI-reliant revisionist.

Like your sig

tlbauerle - kudos to you for creating the original covers - must be a pain in the ass to see your covers with credit given to others.

Hopefully ppl who mod covers in the future will put a mention on who did them originally.

Guilty pleasures indeed

Anakin looked like he was ready to collect his pension when he apeared in Jedi Spirit form in RoTJ - another case of GL changing the OT to fit the PT more to cover his lack of foresight or maths...

Spoilers aplenty there m8

Though I suppose it confirms the time-frames between certain films - and the gap between Ep3 and Ep4. (never knew exactly how much time had passed between them...just a rough guess) Did notice no timeframe for between ESB and ROTJ - isn't that a hotly debated subject on certain SW boards?

Hope you're feeling better Rik m8 (and not just through the tablets

)

Cool new black 4 disc cover too.

Any chance of posting it here sometime in the near future or is the CD Cover torrents the way to go (the new cover is on there) ?

Do you have a white/inksaver version of the new cover?

I think you can get the boxes - though you will have to be able to run faster than the store security guards

Are the boxes unique to Trek, or do any other Paramount releases in the 'bargain bucket' section use the same boxes - a bit extreme, but do-able?
