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

    anyone else getting the feeling that if the above post had been posted about 60 pages earlier--the pages following that post would have been a LOT more even tempered and cool? Thanks for that post, man.

    Untrue, but since that seems to be the major contention point here, we're pretty much stuck. at least we both have best intentions at heart.

    Except this information has been conveyed VERY well and VERY thoroughly, so now going directly to the studio IS much more important than "bringing it to the public" right now. The public is aware. 70-some odd pages and multiple websites worth of aware. Now how bout we translate that awareness...

    I like how Rob is actually going directly to the studios instead of just bitching on a messageboard. How many other people just as concerned are doing that? The addresses are posted. so is the phone number. Are the stamps licked and the envelopes sealed? the phone in your hands...

    ...you seriously don't check that site for Star Wars news, do you? Mickey Suttle is either borderline insane or the best satirist the internet has ever seen, but don't rely on supershadow.com for any actual information. It's a joke site. I'm honestly amazed as to how people find...

    Actually, and I don't know if Kevin Burns did this by design or if it was happy accident, but almost EVERY single change made to ANH, ESB and ROTJ on these new 2004 versions is reversed in the documentary footage. So basically, I think except for the original Death Star II explosion (Which you...

    nope, it's all new. You're probably thinking of either "From Star Wars to Jedi" or "SPFX: The making of Empire Strikes Back." or something along those lines. "Empire of Dreams" was made specifically for the DVD.

    I was so blown away when I heard Warners was finally releasing that. I was just starting to realize Prince was more than the weird made-up guy my sisters loved back in 1984. So I started digging in the back catalog, and realizing the man was a Funk GOD. And had just found out about the whole...

    The problem is, reading the threads--they ARE intended to replace the originals. Post after post of fans claiming that THESE are the versions they're screening for people. On a site called originaltrilogy.com home of the largest petition to bring the originals home, a large number of it's...

    This brings up something interesting I've seen at originaltrilogy.com the site where the largest internet petition to release the original resides. on their messageboard, they've decided to let people freely discuss and promote bootlegs of the various LD rips going around, since they've...

    so, is anyone actually mailing Lucasfilm with the addresses provided by both me and Rob Gardiner?

    I don't think so, scott. most people seem to think it's Harrison Ford pitching his voice up a little. I'm not sure who it is. It sounds corny, though

    Hmm...lemme see what I can dig up: Lucasfilm LTD. P.O. Box 10228, San Rafael, CA 94912. Lucasarts Attn: Product Support P.O. Box 10307 San Rafael, CA 94912 Those are the two addresses I found. I strongly suggest everyone bothered by this error write a letter, stick a stamp on...

    Thanks for the details Michael. Maybe the more comparable situation would be the DTS low-end error on Jurassic Park, then. In which case, my comparison still stands: I don't remember people getting this angry, this indignant, and the debate getting this mean-spirited, self-righteous and...

    but a "Full" endorsement? As you said previously? Are you REALLY going to split hairs THAT tightly? Dude, isn't it enough you pretty much singlehandedly spread this across the internet and made anyone who cares AWARE of the situation? I'm mildly amazed at your tenacity--but in this case...

    Anyone think the difference in admin reaction between the BTTF set and this set might have something to do with the tenor and tone of the arguments and the arguers? That maybe people are more inclined to brush off the complaints this time around because the complaints themselves, the people...

    Has anyone actually found out whether the single disc cases INSIDE the gold box are ALSO gold colored? Because I don't believe they are... ..but yet I haven't actually SEEN the inside of a P&S set

    You're right. All the dialog in that movie, ADR and production audio, was thin, tinny and semi-harsh on previous releases. At least that's what my VHS and LD are telling me. And besides that, if I listen--I can catch the exact same jumps from ADR to production IN THOSE...

    I didn't notice the green reflections, but yeah, the saber flashes were always in the movie. They're also in Empire Strikes Back. I think after awhile, after repeated viewings, your mind just sort of tunes em out. Now that people are very specifically paying attention to the visual...

    I noticed that for the first time last week, too. It's like a quiet little payoff for the shot about 5 minutes prior where you see Salacious Crumb transfixed by the moving tail. Never caught that.

    We know. We read it the first 5 times. We know you brought it up. You don't have to keep bringing it up that you brought it up. I'm just goofing on you, man. You got your credit for bringing it up. We know it's mind boggling how people's ears can't be as discerning as yours. It's just starting...

    yeah, I wouldn't like that change. It'd end up looking more like a parody of the Apollo Creed training Rocky sequence from Rocky III than anything. "Race you, I will. Eye of the Tiger, you must gain!"

    I think I'm the only one here who likes the more subdued echo effect in the Death Star chasm scene BETTER now. I've always thought that old effect was over-produced and extra-fake sounding. This actually sounds a lot more realistic...yunno, like they were actually standing in a bottomless pit in...

    Jack: You don't have to return it to Amazon. Just take it back to a regular store. If it's a straight across exchange, they're not going to lose money on it, and they don't care if you have a reciept or not. Just say "my copy of Star Wars is skipping." They'll go, pluck a fresh copy off the...

    I was under the impression we all caught that sonofabitch and beat his punk ass into glue. Then, high off the fresh glue fumes, we proceeded to continue arguing with each other, stuck in the gluey morass of our own making. ;) Jack: It can't hurt to try swapping them back out at your local...

    Doug: That's odd, because the VH1 special "When Star Wars Ruled the World" shows the preparation for that shot, and the set lighting being turned on, and you WATCH the white shirt turn black. It's not a jacket. It's actually his shirt. Maybe Pabs didn't catch the Vh1 special? But it's right...
