Detailed Empire Strikes Back DVD Change List

JSDopefish writes "The DVD news site DVDanswers.com is back with Part 2 (of 3) of the series by Chris Gould showing in detail the changes between some the various iterations of the Star Wars original trilogy movies. In Part 2, Chris covers The Empire Strikes Back, showing such important changes as the color of Han Solo's jacket before he's frozen in carbonite, as well as other things like the change in actor for the Emperor, and more on light saber colors. Chris has screen captures from the original, the 1997 remaster, and the 2004 DVD versions, plus some audio clips for you to check out. There is an existing Part 1 covering A New Hope, and a forthcoming Part 3 covering Return of the Jedi." Very detailed synopsis. Worth a read if... well, you're me.

Whoa.. shouldn't you be posting in "politics"?? And here I thought I was just going to see a bunch of Lucas-flames. To whoever modded this "insightful".. how about "offtopic"?

Editors: Please supply a mirror link!

It would be good if the Slashdot editor posting a story would insert a (mirror) link in the original article for any site that might get slashdotted. The example link I just used makes use of the Coral NYU Distribution Network, which will mirror any site as long as you add ".nyud.net:8090" onto the end of the hostname (of course, the /. editor would also need to follow the link to get the site into the cache).

If the editors only want to add a mirror link for sites that actually need it, I'd suggest having each editor prepare the mirror link in advance, visit the Coral-mirrored version of the site (to get it into the cache), and then update the article with the mirror link if the site bogs down. (Unfortunately, the Powers That Be may be against this idea since they'd like to sell /. subscriptions, and having a site get slashdotted probably helps to sell more of them.)

As it stands currently, the Coral caching system can't access the slashdotted site any more than we can, but if everyone will try to access the site using the mirror instead of the main article's link, the slashdotted site should become available more quickly than if everyone continues to pound on the site directly.
