LOL, that bearded shit fucked you over hehehe
Episode 3 was ok, really good effects, shame the acting sucked, My company took us all to see it in the cinema, hired out the screen for us. We were laughing so much when the characters said 'Younglings', that was classic

Yeah, 'younglings' sounded pretty gay. Couldn't they just have called them young paduans or cadets or some shit? I'm reminded of that gag clip of yoda doing blow with that faggy teenager. "Good blow, this is!"

Blame Yoda for that one. What he says, goes. Yoda was the one that gave them that name.
So I'm guessing that the widescreen version doesn't properly go to 16x9, then?

So... what's the problem? If this was the original aspect ration for the film, then I'd rather have that then something hacked to fit specifically on 16x9. You wouldn't lose as much going from 2.35:1 to 1.85:1 as you would going from 2.35 or 1.85 to a 4:3 ratio, but it'd still be hacked.DashK said:
Unless it was some other ratio that you were looking for and he stretched it to 2.35?
I guess I'm not really seeing what the issue is.

because 2:35:1 isnt fucking 16x9, there are bars on a 16x9 TV.
my anger was why lucas didn't fucking film the movie in true 16x9 like most everyone does nowadays. hollywood made 16x9 a standard for HDTV for a reason, when you get a widescreen set this will piss you off, i'm actually returning this move tommarow to target and swapping it out for something else.

Did you buy this movie because you like it or did you buy it because it's some shiny digital technowonder?
If you actually enjoy a movie a couple centimeters of black bars shouldn't bother you. If you're buying it to show off your TV there has to be some 10 minute long demo disc you could use instead... because episode 3 is a terrible movie. If you really enjoyed the movie and not just its visual quality on your particular set you wouldn't be returning it because of a small black bar.
This reminds me of people that are way, way too into audio. So many audiophiles will listen to shit because of the quality of sound on their systems, not the quality of music. That doesn't make any sense to me.

You are as much of a dumbass for this, as a 85 year-old man in Arkansas is for not wanting to watch the widescreen version of a movie on a regular tv. Using your logic, all filmmakers should have been filming all movies in a tv sized aspect ratio all these years. No thanks. Boo hoo...black bars! Suck it up.
I can't believe there are still people who aren't soccer moms or WW2 vets who still complain about black bars.

True. Too bad it will still sell like hotcakes cause it has pretty colors and the Star Wars logo on the box.
The digital technowonder factor is what also sold so many copies of that shit movie The 5th Element.

Whoa, I love that fucking movie.
But we are united by our hatred of the new Star Wars, so for now we can enjoy a gentle embrace.
For now.

Ehhh their is nothing really wrong with the movie. I just found it kinda mediocre. The action scences were pretty dull. And that black dude as the president was such a shit actor I wanted to walk up to the tv and spit on him.

Movies are made for the cinema, and cinema screens are wide for a good reason. I don't mind some bars in my DVDs (and all our tvs still are 21'' 4:3 anyway). If you don't want bars then just look for a wider TV set-up (if it's available which I'm not sure).

Shit falls out whenever you open your mouth, seriously.
Hollywood didn't choose 16:9 (not "16x9", ape). It's a broadcast standard, not a film standard. I won't even get into a debate with you over artistic merit and the reasons why there are several different aspect ratio standards in the film industry, nor will I explain why 16:9 was chosen as the broadcast standard. It's not the filmaker's job to make movies that fit your puny TV. That's why they make films and leave garbage like CSI and Survivor to lesser humans.
I hate the fact that you're this forum's most vocal HDTV proponent. You're fucking clueless. It's bad enough that DVD enthusiasts had to fight studios for proper widescreen releases while boneheads like you wanted movies to "fit my square TV". Looks like we're going through it all over again because mongoloids such as yourself want 2.35:1 films cropped to fit your HDTV.
