    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Yah but the weird thing is that Portman seems better on the deleted scenes and in the non-dubbed work on PM. I think that when she looped all her dialogue in PM, that killed it. And with Clones? I dunno. It's WIDELY reported that she's hating to make these movies but I've also heard that she's a...

    You're joking...right? The actors last time suited the roles perfectly. Hayden is the same in pretty much every movie he's in. Now, granted, I liked him in LAAH and SG but regardless, not the worlds best actor. BUT..a helluva lot better than Portman who, I think, gets WAYYYYYYY too much credit...

    IMHO, there's a vast difference in the training levels of the actors of the past and current actors. Look at who succeeds and who fails in the prequels. The "process" isn't respected any more. It's all about a "pretty face."

    You say that as if the only thing in the surrounds is the music. There's a little thing called directional sound effects

    Really? Because i've seen this movie over 1000 times and never once gave it a second glance until seeing the documentary. It's fooling some.

    It's too early for a teaser to the movie. And THIS I found hilarious. I couldn't DISagree more. Have you read through the other thread? If anything, the music is MUCH too low on all 3 movies.

    Does anyone else get an error when trying to use interactual? It's always given me an audio error or something. Very annoying. I LOVE the text commentaries from PM and AOTC and I'd love to watch these as well.

    Yah!!!!! i wanna hear more stories of what it's like today I might just go to Best Buy to see the crowds since i've had mine for a week and a half. Just to be around the other wackos

    Yeah. The blooper reel on Disc four. 1138. It sucks. Especially in comparison to PM and AOTC. Totally unfunny except for maybe Lando's last line.

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    In response to John H Ross... Yep. And Lucasfilm confirmed it I said this several pages back and someone threatened to BAN me and told me to stay away from this forum. Maybe it was because I disagreed with "the powers that be" and now the "powers that be" are proven wrong. As for...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Again...all of these "faults" were intended. I don't understand what ANYONE hopes to gain from contacting Lucasfilm. There was a huge outcry for the original editions and nothing happened. These "changes" were obviously the work of Ben Burtt and were not "mistakes" in his mind when he did the...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Yes, the VH1 special. I was very happy to see so many people participating in it as well as all the COMPLETELY unreleased (until now) footage. Again, showing how many hours of footage they still haven't released. Also, was interesting to hear Ben Burtt's quick comment about an...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    FYI...just finished watching the Star Wars special and it was fantastic!! I urge everyone to watch it if you can catch it. All the major players (except for Lucas) were interviewed AND there is LOTS of unseen footage in it. Stuff not even in the documentary on the DVD's...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    How is it enough for a recall when the sound designer intended for it to sound like that? This isn't a pressing mistake or something. This was their intention. And yes, the music is there. You can even hear it in Neil's clip. It's VERY low in the mix. Obviously much lower than it was...

    Well...jeez. Make sure you post AGAIN about how horrible it was. We might be able to fill up the whole page saying the same thing over and over again.

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Perfect example of how it's unbalanced: Try listening to empire when they're walking through Cloud City and Lando is leading them to Vader. The added elevator in the background is quite loud in comparison to the dialogue and completely unnecessary. Same thing with the floating droid when they...

    No one said George. I said Ben and I said it in jest. I DO think that he should be relieved of his position though or have someone over him watching his levels because it's CLEARLY unbalanced and he's not doing his job properly.

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Yah, but on the original, it WAS perfectly mixed. Even the subsequent mixes were good. The SE made it a little less so. And this just knocked it down a bunch of points. Again, i'm very much NOT a purist for the OOT. But in this case, I think it's purely ego-driven decisions that make it...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Ok...Maybe i was exagerrating. But it is seriously distracting at some points. Do you have a copy? Maybe you should hold off addressing OUR concerns until you've had a chance to see it and more importantly HEAR it yourself. A good sound designer knows the balance of all the audio elements...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    As I've stated before, they screwed williams on this release. the original release DID NOT have these problems with the sound mix. Yes, neil is completely wrong in his assertion that the music is gone as has been stated over and over again. And to be honest, I was watching Empire for the first...

    DVD Review *** Official HTF REVIEW & Discussion Thread: Star Wars Trilogy, pt. 1

    Make sure you watch all of "Empire of Dreams" right through to the end of the credits. Oh and one other think...watch out with taking the cardboard advertisement off of the box. The glue on it is disgusting and part of the paint on the box came off with the glue. And yes, I was very careful...
