It's sad that Lucas would do this again. I remember as a teenager, I eagerly awaited the releasae of "Empire" on VHS. Lucas released the movie in 1980 and the VHS in 1984 (pan and scan). I remember well, visiting my family (south Asia) as a 14 year old and finding Empire at the local video store. How could it be - it's not released yet! That's when I discovered the wonderful world of black market video. The video that I rented was VHS and it was wide screen!!! In 1984, a widescreen version of Empire.Over the years, Lucas has managed to release and re-release various versions of the same film.Don't buy any more until you see this version of episode 4, 5 or 6:High DefinitionAnamorphic wide screenDolby Digital 5.1 or any variation 6.1, 7.1, DTS, etc.Fully restored 70mm PrintOf course THX transfersBorrow this from a friend...
