Trying really hard not to get excited. (Off-Topic)

by Korny , Dalton, Ga. US. Earth, Sol System, Friday, April 17, 2015, 02:03 (3511 days ago) @ CaneCutter

my father in law has the originals on VHS. I've thought about digitizing them. An article i read stated that 20th Century Fox Owns the Distribution rights to the original Ep 4 in perpetuity, and the distribution rights to the Original 5&6 through 2020. Any deal to release those would require going through Fox. Seems like it would be a no-brainer for Fox.

I'm lucky enough to have the laserdiscs, which as far as I know, is the only good quality version of the Original Trilogy out that's in widescreen. It doesn't even say "A New Hope" on the crawl!

I heard that the DVD release looked terrible.

Of course, I don't have a working laserdisc player anymore…

I do...
