Astounding!!!

Hi all!

I gotta share this! This is extrcated from an e-mail I sent out late 2004

As I sit here, I am totally astounded...

I have just put in disk 1 of the 4 disk "Star Wars Original Trilogy'' box set, released in the UK yesterday Monday the 20th, namely "Star Wars - A New Hope", into my Pioneer DV575 player, and what appeared on my SHARP 32" (82cm) 16:9 flat screen has truly made my jaw drop! I have never seen DVD quality like this....NEVER!

The colours, oh man...the colours! The clarity.....the sound.....the sound is so good I had to turn my system down!

"Lord of the Rings Trilogy"? Oh please! Sit down and shut-up! "Alien Quadrilogy"? Sit down and shut up!

"A New Hope" looks like it was shot yesterday, let alone 1975!

I must admit that I am fortunate enough to have a system that allows for the maximum picture quality allowed by modern, current, conventional (Interlaced) systems, namely RGB (via SCART output / input) allowing for pretty much the optimum of the PAL spectrum, namely 625i resolution, which is pretty much just the next thing down from full-blown Progressive-Scan quality (625p) via Component output / input. The result though, via interlaced RGB input, on my 16:9 flat screen, is distractingly good! The colours and resolution clarity of the picture that I'm witnessing is almost too much!

Even if, for whatever strange reason, you are not into "Star Wars" or have never seen the films (um..er...where have you been??), but you are at least a film fan, then do your self a huge favour, buy or at least rent this box set....do it, do it, do it!

Someone get this walking carpet out of my way!

I was too young to see Star Wars in the movie theatre. What is not to like in any of the original saga. I still remember how stunned I was to learn that Luke's father was Darth Vader and was hoping he would actually "see" his father in Return of the Jedi. I have no shame in admitting that I cried when Darth Vader died saving his son from the emperor. The space ships, battles, Luke coming of age and Han Solo's reluctance to help the Rebellion were all fantastic. My brother and I were a pain to my father when the action figures and the ships entered the toy market (we still have the millenium falcon). This is a classic that everyone who is a fan of Star Wars should own. Almost 20 years since the orginal Star Wars was released and amazingly nothing is cheesy, outdated or dumb on this brilliant masterpiece by George Lucas. I wasnt really to keen on Empire Strikes back because Han Solo gets frozen, Luke looses his hand and for a short while it looked like the Empire was going to win. But I guess I should of known being that the title gives you a clue "Empire Strikes Back." Return of the Jedi was my favorite. The opening seen of Han Solo getting rescued (thawed), Luke with his light saber ((r2-d2 launching the saber from the barge was good) and Han Solo helping his buddy Lando who was about to be entean by the sand monster, by firing his gun even though han was still blind. Oh and Im saving this for last...Princess Leia in a nice metal bikini.
