Now, if it's just 2.0 on the original theatrical release versions (and 5.1 on the THX rerelease version), that does raise a question--what was the top audio format at the time those movies came out? Was stereo in movie theatres the big thing then? (I don't know, I was just a wee little kid...) Maybe that's what it is because people demanded the original original.

Of course, the real question--will Star Wars have "Episode IV" at the beginning of the scroll?

Ok,...readin' about the flick is good. Goin' to your site, MiniRock; now that's bad!

......I've been there before!!

I won't go near there when the kids are anywhere near the computer monitor.

I won't go there if the wife; a Star Wars fan of the highest order, is in the house.

I won't go there cuz I'm weak!

That's right Ken. Fans wanted the original soundtrack, no "A New Hope", etc. Star Wars was the first movie to use Dolby Surround Sound (Sensurround, IIRC) also which is why it is in 2.0 only for the unaltered original.

presumably a good way to watch it would be with DPLII, then.

Got me thinkin' about theaters, Ken.

The one where I originally watched Star Wars(wish I could remember if it had "A new hope" along with maybe ep IV or not)But the theater was a fairly new one and probably had a pretty good sound system for it's day, but our local home town show didn't. Wonder if they played it in simple stereo?

Don't know.....probably will never find out. Dang it was small; probably only sat maybe fifty folks.

Had two isles though.

Just one seat down the sides in the outer segments. Kids on dates never sat there.

No worries. I've got plenty of extra room for sleepovers.

Thank you Sir. As you know, HT and Star Wars are my passion, and I've always wanted a SW themed HT. I'm thankful I'm able to have one. There are some great pieces arriving soon too like a 1:1 Darth Maul bust (arriving on Wednesday) 1/4 scale General Grievous statue, and 1/4 scale Princess Leia statue; so, the room will look a little more "full" soon.

Ok; figured out how and when to let the family see your site:

For the kids: After two consecuitive Star War Marathons, and when they are ready and excited to go somewhere that they really really want to go, just before they go out the door and are absolutely chompin' at the bit to leave; then I'll spring it on 'em!!

For Momma; Right after getting home from the months' major grocery shopping trip, and right after the biggie bills are paid on-line. That's the time to show Her!!

Yeah, that should work....leave your site open, we may visit at any time!!
Rich.
..........and Family.

I don't see how there can be any benifit to wait for a next gen DVD (Hd/Blu-ray) of the org 3 Star Wars movies. These movies are 20-30 years old and frankly I don't see how they could come anywhere near looking better than 480 (current DVD). I watched Blade Runner today on my new HDTV and while I really enjoyed the movie, it didn't look too fantastic and I really didn't expect it to.
