Star Wars: TPM and other gripes.

205.175.225.5

Posted by Tom S. on May 5, 1999 at 08:46:11

I was just wondering if I was the only one who was pissed off when Rick McCallum was quoted as saying that the original trilogy will not be released on DVD for another 1½ years. I think the reasoning of "waiting until home DVD units are capable of DD EX decoding" is just plain BS. To me, this seems like a money making scheme for equipment manufacturers of DD EX (which I believe both Lucasfilm and Dolby have stock in). Can't we just view the film in "outdated" DD 5.1? Sheesh!

In regards to TPM: If Lucasfilm "took every precaution" to guard the storyline of the film until release, then why does the soundtrack give away plot points. Double sheesh!

Sorry, but I just had to gripe about the way things are turning out with the Star Wars empire.

Have fun,
Tom S.
