My son managed to get from his friend all of the original "Star Wars" trilogy movies in HD. These are computer files and that's the only way I have to view them right now. I was playing around a bit with capturing some images from them. The recordings are in 720p. I believe Showtime was airing these in HD for awhile. Here are a few examples (make sure to click the image to expand it):
Here are a few more. Man I wish these movies were out in HD now!
They look fantastic, thanks for sharing. It is possible they may come out on Blu-Ray this year, as there were some figures shown at Toy Fair from deleted scenes for ROTJ, which could be a hint that another relase of the Original Trilogy is coming
Yeah, what it's been a year or two since the last DVD release of the OT, right? Time to come out again - this time in HD! I predict next Christmas or fall.
LOL. Yeah it's been awhile since I was compelled to buy Star Wars...again.
How about all 6 flicks in one big and beautiful Blu-Ray case!!!!! Eh a guy can dream can't he?
Those imgaes are really nice. How did Showtime get HD versions? I would assume though that since they come from recorded images that they were not captured in HD?
