[QUOTE="billd91, post: 1771307, member: 3400"] I picked up the DVDs today (hey, I've got 2 kids and my old tapes are starting to show their wear). I watched Star Wars and, having just watched the old classic version a little while ago, I think there might be some noticeable pacing differences during the attack on the Death Star that do not favor the updated version. I'll have to try playing them in parallel with a second television to be sure. And Greedo's shot in the canteena? Lame. Totally lame. I liked it much better when you weren't sure what was going on. I had always just assumed that Han shot Greedo under the table to prevent Greedo from getting a shot off and that maybe, [i]maybe[/i] Greedo's blaster happened to discharge as well. Greedo actually hitting the wall with his blaster shot was really cheesy. I'll have to watch the rest of it over the next couple of days. I'll be happy to have DVDs when my youngest goes through his phase of having to watch things over and over again (Yay for no rewinding!), but I can't help but feel disappointed in the declining quality of the movies in almost everything except special effects since their original releases. I'm not very satisfied with the sound mix, the additional clutter on the streets of Mos Eisley disrupting the central focus of the action, the changes in pacing of some stretches of the movies, the peripheral stuff around the story that helps to fill-out a movie-watching experience.
