Re: Star Wars DVDs

I laughed when I heard that they had to do a master from the laser disc edition, because george lucas copied over the original original trilogy's master the "han shot first" edition.

This is the real original trilogy? With Han shooting first?

THey are of the original theatrical releases, remastered from the laserdisc set. So yes.

Yeah, the ones we grew up with, not the "Special Editions" from 1997. But, Lucas will be releasing these original editions in letterbox format only (nonanamorphic).

Re: Star Wars DVDs

My understanding is they will not only be letterbox, but they will only have stereo sound.

Re: Star Wars DVDs

I don't watch anything in fullscreen anymore: widescreen all the way baby. And I'm sure as Hell not buying the original OT when I have it on VHS and the SE on DVD. And the stereo only is just the last nail in the coffin.

Besides, I've trained my body to black out and replace the Greedo shooting first scene in my mind's eye. It's a fair trade-off.

Hehe, laserdisk.

Re: Star Wars DVDs

I have DVD copies of the laserdiscs, so I'm pretty much set anyway.
