Umm yes... looks most excellent... my fav of all of them no doubt. Will grab this until the innevitable dvdr surfaces as it's been far too long since I have watched this. And I dunno why but the colors look esp nice.. good old orange space suits.

9/9/10

Edit: Oh yes and again ViTE gives GL undue credit, Irvin Kershner directed this thank god, we have a decent film (see ep I, II for shit, erm I mean GL]

noticed that too... especially yoda... he never looked so vibrant, lol. perhaps its just my setup (doubt it thou) but is the contrast been tweaked up a little? makes it look good, but some of the shots looking out of the cockpits during the snow battle, are very bright and hard to see the big metal stompy dudes, but thats not a huge thing, i only noticed it in a few shots for brief moments...

otherwise, reaaally beautiful release... given its length, and the ac3 sound, its bloody amazing to see what vite managed to do with it... but I guess not many people interested in it, because noone seems to be commenting on the release.

an easy 8.5/9.5(star wars never sounded so good)/8.5 (best starwars of the lot)

not sure if i have the "vite" release of this movie

i downloaded "Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back - DVDRIP - Special Edition" off of suprnova other day

not sure if its this vite release as it doesnt have a nfo file or named vite

but quality is EXCELLENT

havent seen such a good xvid dvd rip in awhile and to be one of my fave movies is even better.

Personally i think Return of the Jedi is my favorite, i wasnt into star wars when i was a kid, i was born 83 and i really didnt latch onto the star wars scene till the mid 90's and only movie of the 3 that i saw the most and loved was jedi.

Love the other 2 though, and empire is my 2nd fave

I love this movie, easily the best one, so much darker than the first, realistic (if you can say that about sci-fi) ROTJ could have been so much better if GL had kept on the same screenplay and writer leader (lost his name). I hope Episode 3 kicks ass and is a little more like this one.

Anyways, did anyone else notice that around the corners of the picture, it seems darker, shaded. Especially inside the Hoth base. This is the only DVDRip i have ever seen with darkened corners.

Just got a standalone DVD player that plays .avi's (as well as everything else). I love it, this and Shaun of the Dead has now de-virginized my new #1 player.

This release is nearly flawless. Got the two CD's pretty quickly (love the .avi size).

Nice quality release from ViTE .
Anybody know if Star Wars A New Hope is alread out?

9/9/9

Posted by chiv on 09-01-2004 02:33 PM:

judging by when jedi was released, and when empire was released, im expecting a new hope, to be released 23rd of september

guess we'll see if im right, eh...would be interesting timing, cuz isnt the dvd set supposed to be released around that time?

I've seen a couple of clips supposedly from the new ANH DVD, they look genuine.

Greedo still shoots first, but the Han/Jabba scene is improved (I think it is anyway, I don't have the 97 SE version to compare).

they broadcasted all the retail dvds on tv...i noticed they were especially good quality then i saw the new ending in return of the jedi and started kicking myself i didnt record them onto a dvd

"There has been questions about this rip coming from the retail source, thats officialy realesed in september"

not sure if anyones answered this fully yet, but i've read in a few places that it is the retail dvd version.

looking at the jpg on vcdquality page for "jedi" it shows the final scene where annakin has been changed to hayden christiansen so its got to be yeah?

am d/l-ing them just now so don't know for sure yet.

Posted by sar on 09-12-2004 03:35 PM:

confirmed

I hereby confirm that the ViTE rips of these movies are actually from the new 2004 retail DVDs.

For instance, one very noticeable change from the 1997 SE versions to the 2004 verions, is in empire strikes back - the scene where the emperor tells Darth Vader that Luke is actually his son - this didn't happen in the original versions.

In the ViTE release it happens like that, and not like in the original movies.
