I mentioned that release yesterday. The quality is very good, save for the clock on the top of the screen. I´ll tell you how it was in a hour or so.

Hollywood is trying to avoid the fate of the music industry, which claims it has lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sales to illicit file-sharing networks.

Because of course, everyone that's downloaded a file on Kazaa (or whatever the popular music filesharer is these days) would have and was able to have bought the $20 CD(s).

Great stuff. Best SW movie ever. The opening battle was just breath taking.
I did found a couple things that bothered me:
a) Anakin´s conversion to the DS was way too fast. If he had drawed his light saber against Sidius in the scene before, why was he so quick to kneel before him?? I would understand him wanting Sidius to remain alive, but actually joining him right after he had seen him kill Windu, it was a bit iffy.

b) The Qui-gon bit. I can´t understand why they did it. It doesn´t help the story in anything. And the scene was very poorly designed. The dialogue lines could have been better, more specific.

Also, i was sorry to hear they didn´t get James Earl Jones´s voice for Vader. Although Anakin has only a couple lines of dialogue as Vader, it would be nice to hear the original voice. It was very similar, but it has not quite the same "dark" tone.
If it WAS James Earl Jones´s voice, it changed a lot. But since i didn´t see the credits, i can´t be sure who it was.

Btw, how long was the movie that you saw in theaters? Mine was 3:15 hours long. Big sucker.
All in all, i give it a 9/10 score, light years away from Episodes I and II.

:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

The version i just saw was released even before the movie opened in theaters, and the fact that it has a time stamp means it came from within the industry. Maybe they should start looking in their own backyard, before they go after little people like us.
