Of course, that's entirely Lucas's fault for wanting to set TPM 30 years before ANH with Anakin as a little kid. Most of us conceived of Anakin was a young man in his 20's when he "turned to evil" (about Luke's age) and then the original...  [Read More]

Well we know there is ONE visual difference, the opening crawl of Star Wars (1977), but audio differences, yeah, somebody with the set, please stop being lazy and tell us what the lines are in those scenes! (That's the beauty of DVD, you can skip rig...  [Read More]

Yes, I'm talking exclusively about the english language track of the "bonus disc" theatrical versions. Like many of us here, I already own the 2004 versions, so they are 100% identical to the ones you folks who bought the new set have. The...  [Read More]

I have a question for anyone with the new "Limited Edition" 2006 sets: How is the sound? Specifically, in the "theatrical version" DVDs you have, how do the lines go? Does Luke say to R2D2 (ESB) "You're lucky you don't tas...  [Read More]

If he plays on a LAN that won't be a problem, but yeah, it will be a bit laggy on a modem. The thing is, if he's playing on a decent dedicated server (not trying to host his own).. may I recommend Meatgrinder... (shamesless plug!) he shouldn't be too...  [Read More]

They're not the theatrical versions, but rather how the movies appeared on LaserDisc in 1993 (right before the Special Editions). There is ONE exception... the re-created 1977 Opening Crawl for the original "Star Wars." That has never bee...  [Read More]

I'd love to see some sales figures on this set. I have a feeling we won't get honest numbers on this, but rather some inflated figures combined with LEGO Star Wars II (much like what was done with SWBF/2004 DVDs). Jeez. I am confused on what to...  [Read More]

Well, you could just do what I did, go print up your own covers at a copy place for like $6 (on glossy paper they look awesome, the internet has TONS of quality covers for Star Wars movies). Amray cases are just a plastic box. Open it up, and pop the...  [Read More]

I just purchased them. I haven't watched them. But, they come out with the 2004 releases as far as I know, but I can check that soon. Don't open it! Just sell 'em and get the new set instead. ;) If you've already opened it, just watch the "bon...  [Read More]

The cartoon sucks too, I don't care if it was Boba Fett's "introduction" (since retconned out of existence). I agree. I was saying that the SWHS will shatter anyone's faith that Lucas can do no wrong (even forgiving all the problems of Epi...  [Read More]

I never asked my parents, but I highly doubt it. I don't think we even had a TV back then. No problem. I'm running out of time to answer posts. ;) You asked earlier (or in another thread) about Luke's blue lightsaber in ROTJ. It's still supposed to...  [Read More]

Well, okay. But why would they want you to not see the Emporer's slugs? My guess is they just darkened them to make them look scarier... but aside from that, I knew everything you said (I read it in that post you made), but on a normal TV brightness...  [Read More]

I've read about this, why exactly did they do this? Was their something wrong with the original's voice? Oh, and by the way, although I don't agree with you Kurgan, you had a valid argument and I'm glad you presented it in a mature way as opposed to...  [Read More]
