Easter Eggs on the new Star Wars DVDs?

Someone mentioned that Title 15 (maybe 17) of the Return of the Jedi Disc 2 has a scene in front of Jabba's door. Any others?

On all three bonus DVDs there's a small clip from the movie on Title 17. If you don't know what I mean, stick your bonus disc in the computer and click on the titles in windows media player. Is this for thx calibration?

For Star Wars: Ben shuts down the power on the Death Star
For ESB: Luke, Han, and Leia in the hospital
Return: C-3P0 and R2-D2 in front of Jabba's door

These are just the clips used for the THX Optimizer. There isn't anything unusual or different about them.

No, apparently not. And, clearly your question was so crucial and important to the entire fate of humanity on this planet, that it required its own separate thread rather than participating in the ones that this community has already established.

I understand that you carry the very important designation of "Talk Legend" and everything, but you really do need to lighten up. It was a separate topic and I thought it warranted a separate thread. If you disagree, who really gives a shit?

Mod note: Please keep the posts focused on the posts of the other poster and NOT the poster themselves. If you have a particular problem w/ a post (or a thread in general) either don't open/post in it or use the report this post feature. WRT the number of threads on a particular subject w/ something as popular as SW it's likely to spike but I suspect it'll die off soon.

*Sniff* But you're one of my favorite moderators! I'd get a second opinion if I were you.

the only thing that's dying around here (that I know of ) are the batteries in my wireless keyboard.

Does the THX Optimizer acknowledge proper anamorphic set-up but note that these particular film transfers are 4x3 letterbox?

I saw on the back cover of some "Fullscreen" movie release that it included the THX Optimizer as well- that's pretty funny.

How so? Some movies are shot fullscreen.

Optimizer is designed for properly setting up your TV and surround sound for the movie you are about to watch. It has little to do with the socio-political implications of a reformatted movie.

I forget what title it was, (might have been King Arthur) but it was definitely a pan & scan version of a 2.35 movie. Even taking into account that you can still set your picture correctly to watch it, I doubt anyone who would choose to watch a pan & scan movie would know or care.

I was wondering why those scenes were so out of place.

The clip they used for the Optimizer on "Die Hard 2" is a major spoiler, which would ruin the film for anyone who hadn't seen it before!

Spoiler:
It's a scene that shows that one of the good guys has joined the bad guys.
