Word was that is the film with the biggest upgrade visually because it was shot in 35MM, whereas Clones and Sith were Digital. I also read what you are saying...that the sound is phenomenal in all six across the board.
Shocker: watching it, I found myself thinking: this movie isn't as bad as I remember it. I wonder why that is and my working theory is the first time I saw it, all the new characters are all so weird, fake and somewhat stereotypical, I think that turned me off. Just letting that go and listening to what they are saying- maybe the movie is better than I remembered? I think also, on the prior formats the image of this movie in particular seemed a bit cartoonish, whereas here the image is really solid and it looks a lot more real.
No matter- the BR for this seems like its doing the material justice.
NOW- if only we could get a 1080P version of Han shoots first!
I definitely want to rewatch Menace given that I haven't in 10 years. I have to think that the backlash against the movie was that there was so much hype since it had been 16 years or whatever since Jedi and that nothing in the world could live up to it no matter how good it was, so that in our minds and average movie was thought of as horrible.
thanks for the input and love to hear others thought - mine comes on Monday but it will be a long time before I get through all of the movies and features.
I tried to get some idea on Amazon for reviews but it is a 2 rating average. All the fanboys are clearly apoplectic about the "non-fixes" and the changes made for this set. And given that there were 1,000 reviews (200+ 5 star and 800+ 1 star) BEFORE the street date - they don't serve much value.
