More DVD recall news
September 30, 2004 | 10:30 AM EST | Ben
Update: Yakface’s own Keri brought it to my attention that the Region 1 Spanish audio track is also affected by the muted music flaw. But, like the Region 2 German mix, the Region 1 French mix has the proper emphasis on John William’s score. Pop it in and listen for yourself.
Of course the Tarkin/Leia flaw is by definition going to be absent in in any foreign dub.
thedigitalbits.com is reporting the following:
Lucasfilm claims the audio on the disc is exactly as they intended it to be. HOWEVER, we are also getting a lot of complaints from readers who have been experiencing a disc playback problem withA New Hope. Apparently, on many players, the disc freezes for a few seconds (we suspect near the layer switch point) and then skips ahead several minutes. Fox Customer Service is taking the names and addresses of people who are experiencing this problem so they can arrange to send you a fixed replacement disc. You can call them at 888-223-2FOX. Again, this addresses the freezing problem only. This is not a replacement for any sound issues.
It appears that the only issue they seem to be willing to address is a compatibility issue with some players. However, every copy of A New Hopesuffers from a mixing error in the Death Star battle music (if it was changed on purpose then why is the German DVD correct?) and flawed audio during the Tarkin/Leia dialogue on the Death Star.
Considering past errors with ROTJ (Widescreen VHS had incorrect letterboxing) and ESB (Definitive collection LD had 13 seconds of Leia’s welding scene missing) I suppose ANH is due for an error or two. They did, however, recall the ESB laser disc, let’s hope the fix this DVD!

VOTC ROTJ Arriving at a Target Near You! Update!
September 29, 2004 | 12:28 PM EST | Keri
YakReader sdrob in San Diego, CA reports in with his latest finds:
“The final 4 VOTC figures have started showing up in Targets in San Diego area now. Discovered 3 full sets of Chewbacca, R2-D2, Stormtrooper, and Boba Fett this morning in the Mission Valley Mall in San Diego. $9.99 each of course.”
I also found the VOTC ROTJ at my local Target here in North Texas yesterday afternoon. By the time I made it to the store, there were 2 Boba Fett’s, 1 Chewie, 1 R2-D2, and 1 Stormtrooper. They also had put out the ESB VOTC wave and there was 1 Vader and 1 Lando left. I was able to pick up Lando, but am still missing the C-3PO. Strangely enough they had also put out at least one case of the Blue Saga Gold carded figures, including the waves that had Rappertunie, Lando Skiff, Holo Luke Jedi, J’Quille, and Tanus Spijek. They also had the Star Destroyer Wave: Admiral Ozzel, Bossk, Dengar and Captain Antilles. It was odd to see the Blue Saga carded brand new out on the pegs again. Good Luck hunting everyone!
***Update***
This report just in from YakReader darkksith:
“Just thought I would add to your recent post about the latest VOTC figs you found. You most likely found the same case I did which had 2 Fett, 2 Stormies, and one each of R2, Chewie, Lando and Vader – no C-3P0 in this case. I also found a case each of the two older saga waves you mentioned that were put out at the same time. This was at a target in auburn hills, MI.”
This seems to be hitting many other Targets across the country, the combination VOTC ROTJ/ESB Case as well as the Blue Saga Gold waves. As everyone says: “Stay on Target!”

Less Than 100 Sideshow Luke Remain
September 25, 2004 | 2:58 PM EST | Mark B
I just received word from Sideshow Collectibles of two things about their new 18″ Tall Luke Skywalker. First, they have set the edition sizes of their Star Wars Replicas at 2500 per piece. With that being said, less than 100 of the Luke Skywalker are remaining. From what I have seen of this piece, it is going to be one INCREDIBLE figure. Head on over to Sideshow Collectibles to see it or place your order today!
***UPDATE – 9/27 – I just received word from Sideshow that the Luke Skywalker figure is officially sold out. They will have final photos on the website soon, as well as preorder information on the 2nd figure – Han Solo! Watch for news here….
Skips In Both ANH & ESB (Update)
September 24, 2004 | 5:01 PM EST | Jair
Thanks to everyone for their e-mails. Many of you have explained that the skips are “layer changes”, and that most if not all DVD’s have them (not only Star Wars DVD’s, but ALL DVD’s).
Here is one of your e-mails, with a pretty good explanation:
The skip is the layer change. It happens on all DVD’s. Some DVD players are better at handling it than others. It’s not anything wrong withe the DVD’s themselves. You may just notice it more on a movie that you know really well or are watching especially closely(like Star Wars).
Hope this helps
Troxey
Thanks Troxey, and thanks to all of you who e-mailed.
Skips In Both ANH & ESB
September 24, 2004 | 4:20 PM EST | Jair
I don’t know if anyone has noticed that there are clear skips on the DVD’s from both ANH and ESB. In ANH, the skip occurs right after Tarkin is informed that Dantooine has been abandoned; the exact moment is right after he says “terminate her, immediately!”.
In ESB, when Leia sits alone inside the Millenium Falcon’s cockpit, seconds before the Mynock attaches to the window.
Check your copy and let us know if this happens to you. I checked with two buddies of mine and it happens to all of us.

ANH DVD recall in the future? (Update)
September 23, 2004 | 5:19 PM EST | Ben
No word yet on whether or not Lucasfilm will fess up and admit there are very unTHX-esque audio issues with the DVD of A New Hope.
That said, while the German Star Wars DVD has all the same audio issues in the English 5.1 mix, the GERMAN 5.1 mix has John William’s theme as clear as day. Obviously the Tarkin issue isn’t there as the dialogue was replaced and dubbed in German.
So, if the muting of Williams’ signature piece of music at such a dramatic time was actually a “creative choice”, guess it pays to be German.

ANH DVD recall in the future?
September 22, 2004 | 7:02 AM EST | Ben
TheDigitalBits has gotten many reports of audio problems with A New Hope. I’ve confirmed them on my copy also.
Issue #1 is the very unTHX-like quality of the Leia/Tarkin dialogue exchange on the Death Star. It sounds like the scene was stitched together from bits and pieces with the volume rising and falling and the clarity is also all over the board. This is a definite defect.
Issue #2 is another “Greedo shooting first” people. In the beginning of the Death Star battle John William’s score is all but inaudible. No longer do we hear the dramatic score emphasized by trumpets as the x-wings approach and descend on the Death Star.
LucasFilm has officially declared that there are NO issues with the ANH DVD and that these were “Creative choices.” Well, I’m skeptical. The Tarkin scene can’t be on purpose.
Here is their official word via TheDigitalBits.
“We are always impressed with how closely fans listen to the many different sound mixes we have made for the Star Wars movies over the years. It is flattering to know that, indeed, the audience is listening.
Consequently, each mix comes out differently and any changes that you hear on the all-new Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX tracks on the Star Wars Trilogy DVD set are deliberate creative decisions. We can confirm that there are no technical glitches as reported.”

On a side note, they also have the Original Trilogy DVD set for $36.99.
Also for all the other fans who enjoy games, though not highly advertised a Gameboy Advance game was also released today amidst everything else. It is entitled Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force and looks very fun and reminiscent of the Super Nintendo Trilogy titles.

I picked up Battlefront myself today for the XBox and cannot wait to start playing it here very shortly. All I have to say is the Ewoks better watch out!

New VOTC ROTJ Wave Found!
September 20, 2004 | 9:05 PM EST | Keri
A YakReader located in Tempe, AZ reports in with some very nice photos of his lucky finds as well as his receipt for proof above.
“I was able to score all 4 new ROTJ VOTC figs at the Elliot and Priest Wal-mart this morning. The case breakdown was 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Boba Fetts, 1 Lando, 1 Darth Vader, 1 Chewbacca, and 1 R2. Someone snagged a Fett but left the rest for me to find.”
Looks like it might be time for a toy run to your local hot spots. Hopefully the stores in my area will actually have something new, seems to be a bit of a drought around here other than VOTC Luke’s turning up.

New 12″ VOTC Chewbacca KB Toys Exclusive – Update!
September 17, 2004 | 2:25 PM EST | Keri
A YakReader sent in this interesting item from the KB Toys website which shows a decent looking 12″ Chewbacca currently available to pre-order, with a projected available to ship date of 11/15/04 with a price of $29.99. I couldn’t find any information about it on the Hasbro site and can only speculate that perhaps it is a Limited Edition KB Toys Exclusive? Click here to see Chewbacca on the KB Toys website.
***UPDATE***
Thanks to the many YakReaders that wrote in with the information. Since I no longer subscribe to the Star Wars Insider, I had no way of knowing that the 12″ Chewie was mentioned amongst the new product coming soon from Hasbro. Another YakReader who shall remain anonymous also mentioned that Chewie should be in stores mid November and stores should start taking reservations in a month. As with anything,this could change so people should check with there local stores. Of course, if you would like to pre-order Chewie from the website you may do so right now.

Empire Of Dreams Documentary Review…
September 17, 2004 | 1:02 AM EST | Jair
Hi everyone. By now you all know that the SW Trilogy DVD’s will have a 4th disk containing a lot of extra material, including a documentary called: “Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy”. Well, Latinamerica was fortunate enough that today the A&E Network for Latinamerica showed the documentary and let me tell you it’s awesome!!!
Usually when you see a Star Wars documentary all the footage shown you know by heart, well kids, there are things here that you’ve never seen. For example, there’s this part where Luke… mmmmm, I don’t want to ruin it for you. Just prepare yourself for something new, something cool, something from a galaxy far, far away. Tuesday you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Finally, straight talk from Lucas himself.
September 16, 2004 | 2:02 PM EST | Ben
Yahoo has a rather frank interview with George Lucas regarding the Star Wars DVDs and the lack of a theatrical version.
One quote of interest: “I’m sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be …they (fans) think it should be their way. Which is fine, except I’m making the movies, so I should have it my way.”
You may not agree with him, but at least he’s addressing it plainly and on the record rather than choosing to hide behind obsequious underlings and vague press releases.

Wave 2 Galactic Heroes Found!
September 10, 2004 | 6:05 PM EST | Keri
YakReader JediJones writes in with this store report and shares this very nice photo above of his newest finds:
“I found multiples of the Episode 2-themed sets at the Hazleton, PA Kmart. I found the C-3PO sets along with more of the first wave on the carry case display at the Wilkes-Barre, PA Wal-Mart and also at the Bloomsburg, PA Wal-Mart. The Bloomsburg store had an endcap filled from top to bottom with alternating rows of OTC figures and Galactic Heroes and another endcap filled with carry cases.”
I myself have found the Chewie/C-3PO sets along with the entire first wave at my local Wal-Marts in North Texas on the large Carry Case Pallet displays. I have yet to see the AOTC Galactic Heroes, but I am sure they will be coming soon…looks like it may time for a toy run this weekend!

Bounty Hunting Today: Vintage Star Wars Shelf Talker
September 9, 2004 | 4:52 PM EST | Keri
Store displays are among some of the more prized items in my personal collection, as they can be hard to come by and feature nice art that can really set off a certain display of items. Today’s surfing on Ebay yielded a particularly great little store display item: An Unused Vintage Kenner Shelf Talker!
Ok, so it may not look like much to some of you out there, but to me, she’s got it where it counts kid. These little shelf talkers are treasures to use on bookshelves to make action figures and vehicles come to life and bring back memories of toy stores long ago. Today’s featured shelf talker is from the early days of Kenner and Star Wars from right around the time of the first 21 figures, including a classic favorite Boba Fett. While this display only has the Star Wars Logo and the bright orange and red Toy Center on it, unlike the larger more colorful “bell-shaped” 20 and 21 figure displays, it is still a gem in unused, unfolded condition. The price is also more reasonable than most of the larger displays and fits right in with the current OTC and VOTC lines.
Click on through the link below to add this great Vintage Shelf Talker to your bookshelf display today!

Bounty Hunting Today: Vintage Darth Vader Button
September 7, 2004 | 3:40 PM EST | Keri
Back in 1977 after Star Wars premiered, many companies attempted to quickly release any kind of item that fans could buy and even wear to any number of attendances to the movie.
Among those early items were buttons made by Factors Inc. These buttons were large, plain and colorful. In the rush to produce these buttons mistakes were made, which brings us to the featured auction today. The quintessential villian, Darth Vader himself was a victim of a spelling mistake on the button with the name spelled “Vadar”. This is not a rare mistake, all the buttons have his name mispelled, it is simply an early oddity that can be a fun addition to any collection.

Bounty Hunting Today: Custom Autographed Vader/Motti 2 Pack
September 4, 2004 | 2:31 PM EST | Keri
Customized items are one of the many niches that collectors may choose to add to their own realm of collecting as well as making. Although I do not personally do any custom work, I can appreciate the time, effort, talent and imagination that goes into many of the custom items offered for auction on Ebay.
Today’s Bounty Hunting spotlight is on a Vader and Motti action figure 2 Pack on a blue saga card. What makes this item even more special is the fact that it was produced in very small numbers by the Norwich UK Collecting Club and is autographed by both David Prowse and Richard LeParmentier – Darth Vader and Admiral Motti himself. The limited number of these makes this 2 Pack a desirable item to a collector seeking something modern that is not highly mass produced. In fact, there are only four of these left and only two are signed by both Prowse and LeParmentier.
