Au contraire, it's very well thought out. Everybody buys the BD release, since we all want it in HD. Then once the 3-D theatrical releases are completed, we shell out again for the boxset of the 3-D versions...

By the time SW comes out on BD, even if Lucas relents and provides an anamorphic transfer of the OOT as demanded, in 480i SD, no doubt there will then be lots of complaints about why it isn't in full HD 1080p...

:emoji_thumbsup: So would I! Although they'll have to digitally process Carrie Fisher's voice, she hardly sounds like "Princess Leia" anymore... Any suggestions for the voice of Thrawn? Hugo Weaving perhaps, considering the stellar job he did in V For Vendetta?

Again, IIRC use of the Fox Fanfare had practically ceased, until it was used in Star Wars, thereby reviving it. To this day, hearing the Fox Fanfare but then seeing and hearing different opening titles is still a bit of a disconnect for me. Likewise if the United Artists' opening theme is not...

Agreed; never mind the logo, the Fox Fanfare won't kick off the movie either. Which will be even odder, since on the laser-engraved SE soundtracks, each soundtrack starts with the Fox Fanfare and it just doesn't seem right for Williams's Star Wars theme to start blasting without first having...

And so it did! (As an aside, even though the BenQ external DL burner doesn't claim to be compatible with Mac OS X, it worked perfectly -- the office had one and I was able to borrow it and bring it home.) I've had a quick look-see at a few parts only -- absolutely amazing work! As already...

So I take it the 'fix' is not relevant to a Mac-head using Toast to do the burning?

I can and I've done it before -- but it would be by composite video. (I used to do it for .avi files I *ahem* downloaded and wanted to watch on the 43", but then I got an DVD/HDD recorder that could play back DiVX files so I just burn them to disc now, and indeed with a PS3 a flash-drive does...

I just got my mitts on the .iso of the DVD9, but don't have a D/L burner at home and am trying to work around that. In the meantime, I was however able to mount the disc image and run that on the iMac. Wow. Wow wow wow. Just watching all the trailers as well as the opening 10 minutes, showed...

Odd, I felt the exact opposite. I've read most EU books up until those published about 4-5 years ago (got married :P ) and I personally did not like Shadows, mostly because it seemed such an oddity that the bad-ass Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith, could actually feel threatened by a piss-ant like...

Hmmm... time to read my comics, then. I have a backlog of nearly 5 years' worth to get through :frowning:

Didn't someone in one of the other huge SW saga threads once suggest something like 4-1-2-5-3-6? This way you get to see young Anakin growing up (with the inkling that Anakin is Luke's father, via the Skywalker name), then get hit with the shock that he's Vader in ESB, see how/why he became...

The Pod Race should really then be called "A Day At The Races"... :)

The odd thing is I was watching Jack & Bobby recently, and she had a guest role as a journalist being interviewed commenting on the fictional President McCallister. When she first appeared, I wasn't looking at the screen, so I only heard her now-raspy voice, and didn't recognise it at all -- I...

I wish. I was still in primary (elementary) school at the time, some twit who was lucky enough to watch it in the very first few days after opening promptly blabbed to everyone. Grrrrrr... :angry:

I thought so too. ("Imperial Orchestra" being good, I mean.) Can't take any credit for finding it, I just watched the Rocky IV thing, then on the side-bar of similar/related videos, there it was, looked intriguing, and it was.

Imperial Orchestra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o36K8...elated&search= No prizes for guessing what piece of music they play...

I think the present intercutting between the "creation" of Vader as we know him in the OT (black mask and suit), and the birth of the twins/death of Padme is more powerful, but that said, what you say makes sense, so perhaps the sequence of events would be a slightly burning Jedi Temple with...

I'd never heard of the term "Mary Sue"; here's what wiki had to say about it:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue Based on that, yeah, Thrawn is probably one.

Hmmm.... then we would never had had these six movies and all the associated spin-off material to discuss and nitpick to death, would we? ;)
