#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 I got mine from eBay.nl.took a bit of searching.eBay.com or eBay.de are much bigger, so i'm sure it will be easier to find them there.Stefancos- who tried eBay.de, but gave up.

Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 Oh, ebay.

Dutch sounds like English?Hmmm...çan't imagine that myself.Stefancos- who thinks german is a more "throaty" version of Dutch, with overpronounced R's and G's, not to mention redundant letters.

Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 No, it doesn't sound like English. But many words that look like German are partly pronounced as if they were English. If that makes sense to you. Marian - who thinks German is a clumsy language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian - who paid a lot for his DVD player.For shame, not having a laser disc player. I've had one now for at least 11 years, and I love the format. I can watch legit versions of The Star Wars Trilogy and The Indiana Jones Trilogy as well as the original versions of Superman - The Movie and Star Trek - The Motion Picture.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Director 1 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Well, I got the last release of the SW trilogy on VHS and saw them yesterday and loved them! I only went to go see the "Special Edition" of Star Wars in the theatre, and never went back to see The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. I need to get a hold of those and watch them all over again.Dan - whose become a bigger SW fan, thanks to Episode II "Ann and Gabriel" from The Patriot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeejaHalycon 0 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I still have faith that Mr. Lucas will bring a final triumphant close to the Star Wars Saga with a set of DVDs featuring the original un-tocuhed, and SE versions.Just in case though, I have the THX re-mastered ANH on Laserdisc.

MoffJake 0 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Discouraging News From TheForce.Net:Sam sends us this note: Not sure if you have seen this yet, but in the new issue of Star Wars Insider, George Lucas doubts he will include the original theatrical versions of the 1977-1983 trilogy on DVD. He says that, for him, the special editions are the finished versions. And Bryan Wahrer of Alderaan Online follows up with this exact quote: 'Asked if there's a possibility of including the original versions as alternate tracks, to show the evolution of the films, showcase the state-of-the-art of the era, and preserve film history, Lucas said simply, "I don't think so. I think of the film as The Special Edition. I don't think of it as the early version, any more than I would put early rough cuts on.... I consider The Special Edition as being the final version at this point. I don't even worry about the other ones, because it went through a lot of incarnations to get to the final stage."' I don't know about you but I will probably be checking eBay for a good deal. I'm losing faith in Lucas. :cry: Jake - AI 2CD Promo for the 2nd time.

Director 1 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Well, I've read a report that contraries that. I've heard that a mega DVD release might be in the works at Lucasfilm for 2006, with the entire sexology. (is that the right word??)Dan - who hopes this is true........and believes it shall be "A Gift for Little Miss" from Bicentennial Man (Horner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoffJake 0 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Director, there is no doubt that Lucas will put all films on DVD and there will be an inevitable 6 film set in a few years. The point of contention is that the Original Theatrical versions will not be on DVD. Instead we may only see the "Special Editions" that were released to theaters in 1997 or an even further tampered "Archival Edition." Only these SE versions are available for purchase as Lucas has tried to pull all previous copies off the shelves.Since there is much distaste among fans of these for the newer versions, there will definitely be a demand for these bootlegged DVDs.Jake - who guards his THX remastered widescreen boxed set with his life.

Hector J. Guzman 1 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I also try to take care of my SW trilogy. I have the ones released in 1995, in widescreen. But I think Lucas did not use the best tape there is... sometimes the stereo goes away Hector - who´s not happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I only have the original versions of the trilogy taped from TV, with German dub and commercial breaks.
