Oh com'on Josh...that's just a matter of opinion. I happen to like the '04 renditions of the OT, sans some of the light saber mistakes.

Me too, for the most part.

So do I, except for one thing. No, not Greedo shooting first. No, not Hayden appearing at the end of ROTJ. I'm actually more-or-less okay with all the changes but one: that loudmouthed creature who screams at the camera during the new song-and-dance number in Jabba's palace. He is the single most annoying character in all the movies, OT or PT.

--THX

Yeah, that dude is a bit annoying, but he was there in the '97 SEs. Although I like the musical number in general, especially with what's going on behind the scenes with Boba Fett and the back-up singer girls, I miss the transition to the musical number of Max Rebo's band from the original cut.

From Davis DVD:

"Looks like we finally may have the first official word about this Fall's release of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Italian arm of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced the DVD for a worldwide release of November 2nd (which would translate as November 1st for the U.S.). According to an online retailer, extras on the two-disc set will include an audio commentary track, a full-length documentary, exclusive featurettes, web documentaries, five fully-produced deleted scenes, a photo gallery, "Battle of the Heroes" music video, teaser and launch trailers, twelve TV spots, a video game trailer, "Star Wars Battlefront II" game demo and DVD-ROM links. As with the previous installments, the film itself will be available in separate anamorphic widescreen and fullscreen editions, each with Dolby Digital 5.1 EX tracks. Thanks to Anrdrea Alfonso."

I believe he refers to it as "making Episodes 1 and 2."

I don't see Edge Enchancement listed as a feature :up:

Shouldn't be a problem as wasn't ROTS filmed in an even higher resolution than AOTC?

Like that would stop them from cranking the edge enhancement knob if they thought it would make the picture prettier? Besides AOTC reviewed very well in that category, so I think they figured out what happend with TPM. They claimed of course no edge enhancement was applied to the TPM disc, but they didn't know what happened. They obviously found it before AOTC came out, but are probably too embarrassed to admit it publicly.


I just thought of something else: the fullscreen DVD of TPM came out about the same time as AOTC right? Did anyone ever give that a rental just to see if the fixed the transfer?

Right, and the discs of Episodes 4,5, and 6 had even less EE according to this site's review.

Anyway, the specs for this disc sound very similar to the discs for the first two prequels, which is of course a good thing. I assume the Battlefront demo is for Xbox, since that's what it was for on the "OT" set.
