Detailed Changes In Star Wars DVD Release w/Pics

Posted by timothy on from the hit-the-basements dept.

JSDopefish writes "DVD news site dvdanswers.com has written a pretty cool article on the changes in Star Wars: Episode IV. A list of changes is nothing new, but this version has detailed screenshots and comparisons between the 1977 original, the 1997 reissue, and the 2004 DVD version. He plans one for Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi, but they're not out yet."

    The link in the story seems to be dead for me already...but here is another one that I was reading a few weeks ago, similar content.

    George Lucas talks about this on the extras DVD. He says it was primarily to make them the movies they were supposed to be. So, I suppose you could say, it's for the art.

  3. Auto-Coralize links!!! by hacker · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've been thinking.. and this is the 5th instance of this.. why can't Slashdot auto-Coralize the links that they use in the articles?

    If $ARTICLE_SUMMARY has a URL in it, split the domain off, append .nyud.net:8090 to it, and then post it publically. Thats exactly what the NYU Distribution Network was designed for.

    In this case, this would be:
