Haha. Really made a dent in those first day sales, huh?

I've loaded up ANH four times, and got the Twin Suns menu all four times. Is that the default menu or something?

It's amazing how little most of us have watched the OT in the past five years or so. Once I got my HDTV, I just couldn't bring myself to watch the OT on tape anymore...it looked too bad!

That's your opinion. But since you brought it up, watching ANH again last night just reminded me why I love the PT too, especially AOTC.

That's highly insulting, Gruson. I've seen ANH probably 100 times or more since 1977, in all its versions and formats, and I think the dialogue sounds better than it ever has on DVD. And I'm not watching these things in mono on a set with rabbit ears either. I'm really sorry you don't...

Well I like the new echoing better than the overly hot SE echoing. I can't remember what it sounded like originally.

Me too. And I have upper-end speakers for sure. I though the dialogue sounded better (and even more even) than it EVER has.

Thanks for the clarification on what it is, but I'd still never noticed it before.

Watched ANH last night. My comments. The picture is tremendous. I noticed things I'd never seen before. For example, I didn't know that R2 has these little horizontal green sets of lights right around where his dome meets the rest of his body. I also didn't know that R5D4 had blue on...

No, you're not.

Oh it's definitely fun. Ugly fun, but fun nonetheless.

It's ugly, isn't it?

There may be something to this....

Picked up the set this morning. Will watch ANH tonight. Maybe Lucas should have gone with his first impulse and not released the OT on DVD until after ROTS and when he could devote more time to perfecting the OT. I refuse to believe that he could overlook these problems...

I watched them a lot, too. In addition to their quality, they were the first-ever copies of the OT I owned in widescreen. It was like watching the movies all over again.

The 97 SE VHS tapes were probably the best sound/picture quality of any VHS tape I ever bought. I remember being fairly floored about their quality back in August, 1997.

Which scene is that from?

Someone mentioned this earlier, but I am really glad they got rid of the "gunshots" heard when Leia fires her blaster during the ANH gunfight over the chasm. I'm guessing this was just an oversight in the ANH SE soundtrack, and they failed to add the blaster sound effect over the...

Seth, I agree mostly with your position but even most of the die-hard gushers here are on record as wanting the original versions on DVD. He should release the originals...period. Almost everyone agrees with that. We just want to enjoy the new ones right now and then get back into that...

Haden, your Ep III spoilers aren't hidden above.

I've always thought that the dialogue in ANH was spotty at times. I'm guessing the clean track we're getting with the DVDs...as well as the fact that the sound is pure digital now...is only magnifying what we've been hearing for almost 30 years.

I think STAR WARS was re-released in 1978 and 1979, and then again in 1981.

Robert you made two great points in this post. First, on the use of OT footage in the documentary. Assuming this was due to Lucas (he didn't direct the documentary after all) I think it makes sense to use this footage even if you aren't releasing the OOT in the future (which I think he...

That's cool, JonZ. I don't need anyone else to like or love these films. Sure, it was cool back in the late 70s, early 80s when almost everyone loved Star Wars, but I can handle an opposing view.

Not sure that really helps the dialogue all that much, Adam. People can be Star Wars fans if they didn't watch the original version of ANH in the theater in 1977. And for the record, I did watch the original version back in 1977.
