Star Wars originals......what can we do?

Posted by NuWave (A) on August 19, 2004 at 10:46:40

Just won a bid recently on ebay for the original widescreen versions of the Star Wars trilogy on vhs. Thought about laserdisc but I would need to get a player and the only other movie I would want on laserdisc would be the original Blade Runner in widescreen(have the original full screen vhs currently). Was wondering if anyone has somehow made a transfer from LD or vhs to dvd for these movies and if the prologic or surround signal is preserved. I guess the tape versions will have to do. After watching dvd movies on a daily basis and going back to some good prerecorded videos that I have, they still look pretty good!(along with that delicious meaty analog sound). If anyone has ideas as to why Lucas and Scott changed these movies I'd be curious to hear them. I've heard their reasons but I just wanted to hear opinions from viewers. In the Lucas case it's like he just did it "cuz he could". Seems like another example of fixing something that isn't broke.
