A question re the 2006 OT DVD versions
Time

on the subject of the 2006 Bonus discs , aka the GOUT , which I own …a few observations …I have a few different tv displays in my home . from lcd to crt and I have noticed that they look different in quality when viewed on different displays . They look crisper on a crt monitor and I think it is because older films were not made with HD displays like the flat panel widescreen tv’s we have today . I remember seeing film grain and scratches when I would see films in the theater as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s .And I am not arguing against an official high quality release . just sharing my observations. The best display that I have found to watch it on is my Samsung slimfit 38 inch widescreen CRT tv which was gifted to me a couple years ago , it is from 2006 and is HD (720 p) capable and even has 2 hdmi ports , the only CRT tv I have ever seen like this … The Image actually fills the screen in letterbox format without stretching the image and with no window boxing and it looks pretty sharp .when viewed on my 60 inch lcd , it is stretched to fit and looks very old and faded .Also , if you take the insert out of the front cover of each disc , you can turn it around and re insert it and have some nice painted theatrical posters instead of the lazy photo shop recreations

That SE shot removing the dead end to the corridor made little sense. You have armed and dangerous interlopers on a massive space station running loose, and all these bucketheads are just standing at attention in a hangar?

I don’t think any of those officers standing on the upper level even react to the shots being fired. None of the troopers seem to be as far back as the officers that are presumably reviewing them, either. In fact, the whole perspective of this shot seems wonky. And that TIE fighter is either floating or resting on some crates, because it surely can’t be gripped from up above by the fragile panels?

the troopers to the far left of the shot look like they are all standing at urinals and got caught mid piss
