I have the Definitive Collection lasers and an aching laserdisc player and these releases are looker more and more attractive. My laserdisc player might not make it and they aren't cheap (or at least, not as cheap as these releases)

The British are obviously against LucasFilm

(I can't resist) You were the LucasFilm employee in charge of presenting the OT bonus DVDs?

One Con report said he made it clear the subject of PQ wasn't open for discussion (i.e. this is what George is giving you, nothing else). In a way, having the crappy picture up behind him while he extolls its virtues makes him look bad, not Lucas. (I think I spelled extolls wrong)

:D (The idea of George Lucas caring what HTF posters, or people in general, think)* * It'd be nice though.

Thank you. Lucas didn't even sound excited when he was selling Phantom Menace back in '99. He made it sound like a chore (an extremely lucrative one, but still a chore). I mean, imagine what Lucas's response is when some lackey comes in with reports of "internet" people complaining about the...

Lucas obviously despises people... one just has to watch how angry he gets at William Shatner sereneding him (while everyone else is laughing and smiling, Lucas looks like someone served him a plate of spittle). I only hope (fingers crossed) Entertainment Weekly reviews these and doesn't give...

That article's an advertisement for LucasFilm. Have there been any other audience accounts posted?

It was originally a noirish murder thriller. According to IMDb, it was only scripted as such, but I've read that Woody recut it (much like American Beauty, which was supposed to be Rashoman-like or so I've heard)

Clint Eastwood's 75. Does that mean one has to wait 7 years to hope he kicks it so we can get deleted scenes? And what about woody allen? He'll never let the original "Annie Hall" be released. Let's cross our fingers. :rolleyes

That sounds pretty harsh, man. Lucas isn't that old....

There are still other letterboxed releases coming out, right? I mean, when DVD was starting, Warner was touting 16:9 for everything then too (they just didn't take other studios' cheapness into account)

I'd agree, except the release is "for a limited time only" and the bootleggers add special features. But certainly, the market will dwindle as the special feature seekers are going to be the only audience. Other folks will just pony up the $90.

The subtitles on Star Wars and Return of the Jedi Definitive Collection are burnt in. If they're just using those transfers, does that mean the OT editions will actually have burnt in subtitles on DVD?

Oh please. No one is buying these for the damn special editions. The draw is the original editions (I know video stores who are salivating at getting to rent the originals). And Lucas doesn't have any respect for Star Wars fans. The proof? Star Wars: Episodes 1, 2 and 3

So... wait. If a light saber toy causes cancer and someone recommends not buying it, they're anti-Star Wars?

Let's see... I've bought the Definitive Collection on LaserDisc three times, off eBay, for approx $500 all told. However. Anamorphic or not-anamorphic, the OT will cost $100 to fix... It stinks (but really shouldn't be a surprise), but I'm going to have to get them.
