                    Star Wars Trilogy on DVD

                    For those of you who brought the Star Wars Trilogy did you watch it yet?

                    So far I watched A New Hope and Return of the Jedi with English subtitles on because one of the big mystery is when did they call the fighters used by the empire as TIE fighters. And it never happened in A New Hope. Of course they did manage to not to subtitle a scene when Luke says "Carrie" when he gets off his fighter.

                    I did watch part of the bonus material DVD. I do want to play these movies again with the audio commentary on one of these days.

                      We finally picked it up yesterday at Costco, "Widescreen" version, of course. (Good thing I studied both gold and silver boxes carefully... for a moment I couldn't figure out why there was a difference!) With a baby and two other kids in the house, I don't anticipate being able to carve out major chunks of time to watch the DVDs in the near future, but we'll get around to it.

                      We did pop in the extra, fourth DVD last night, just to see what there was on Episode III. Not much, it turns out, but enough so that we're still looking forward to it (despite Episodes I and II).

                        Full Screen does not have that stupid black box on the top and bottom.
                        Thus thats why I bought the Full Screen version of Star Wars.
                        Widescreen does have that stupid black box on the top and bottom.

                        I have watched all three Star Wars Movies annd cannot wait for Episode
                        Three which will be coming out in summer of 2005. The Episode of Dreams
                        behind the scenes was very interesting, along with seeing the trailers
                        from the movies.

                        Bear in mind the three movies have been tweaked a bit especially Stars
                        Wars and Return of the Jedi. Additional scenes among other things have
                        been added to the original versions.

                          It's a matter of choice between the Widescreen and the Full Screen versions. While some DVDs will offer both in one package it's kind of rare (Air Force One comes to mind). With Star Wars Widescreen edition you get to see the extreme left and right side of the image and with black box on the bottom, well that's where the English subtitles go which doesn't block the original image.

                            Having both the Wide Screen and Full Screen on one disk is becoming more
                            prevalent though. I recall buying a DVD recently and it gave me a choice
                            between full screen and wide screen. I believe you see more of it because
                            of dual sided DVD discs. I personally find the Widescreen black boxes on
                            the top and bottom a MAJOR distraction when I'm watching a movie.

                              It's definitely a matter of taste, and I'm glad they often give you a choice, whether it's on one DVD or on separately packaged discs. I personally can't stand "pan-and-scan" - a gorgeous, expanse of moviemaking shoehorned into the TV aspect ratio, often cutting off characters or requiring the transfer camera to move back and forth across what the filmmaker intended to be a single, stationary scene.

                              Helen also mentions another benefit - non-intrusive closed captioning.

                              So I'm definitely a widescreen advocate... even though I'll probably never afford one of those giant, flat, plasma TVs you probably need to get the most benefit from it.

                              Yeah, if you've got a smaller television, "pan-and-scan" is probably the only way to go - having the letterbox would give up way too much space, making the actual movie difficult to see.

                              And with some recent all-CGI movies - "A Bug's Life," "Monster's Inc.," for example - you don't lose as much as you usually would because they actually re-render scenes to center the action on a TV screen.

                                My parents have a 27in TV and I have a 20in TV. Ever since I got really
                                into DVDs about 3 years ago, I have always gotten full screen versions
                                of the movies I bought. I can understand your reasons to get wide screen
                                versions, but for me like I said it is simply too annoying and distracting
                                the wide screen format.

                                My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Half Past Dead are two DVDs I recall
                                recently having the two differents versions on the same DVD.
