Best unitentional comedy ever:

"See how some of the special effects in Star Wars became even more special two decades later! "

[miniroll32]

It's a trap!

[Eeeper]

It's another way of viewing the whole Star Wars mythos with this blu ray release. I'm happy to expand my opinion with these BD's. The lack of clarity over the DTS 6.1 means that it might, might be a Day One deal breaker. But I refuse to believe that someone at Skywalker Sound hasn't heard of either TrueHD or DTS HD MA so I'd say that the whole "is it lossless or lossy" will be cleared up soon.

Hopefully The People Vs. George Lucas will be out on DVD at the same time so I can save on the postage.

you mean, what a million others have done over the course of the entire thread?

It's probably the furthest thing from 'funny' at this point

[kemcha]

Many consumers call it: BR = Blu-ray
