Could someone tell me...

I already have the trilogy on video, and I don't want to buy the DVD for something I have already, so can someone tell me the scene names in ROTJ?

 

The DVD isn't aviable yet, so the scence names are currently unknown.

 

But... I read someone saying about how their fav moment was called the Dark Side beckons, A.K.A. Luke vs. Vader. He must have got that from somewhere...

 

I'm not sure but I think "The Dark Side beckons" is a listing from the soundtrack.

 

OK, so maybe one scence has been named. Maybe it's a fan name that won't make the names in the DVD. Maybe it will.

 

Oh! Can you tell me the soundtrack names then?

 

Buy the soundtrack and look at the titles.

 

Or read them at the record store

 

Ok, I'm bored, so I'll list the CD tracks. I just got this from Amazon.com. Next time, look there. They always list track titles for cds.

For comedy gold value, silly Amazon left out 'The Dark Side Beckons' (the subject of discussion here) on that track listing.

It (and 'The Emperor's Death') are both part of Battle of Endor II.



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

The reference could also be for RotJ on Laser Disc.

Yes, they do exist. They were produced in the late-80' throught the mid-90's.

Criterion Collection was excellent in producing great quality Laser Discs and were the predicessor to DVDs. They did not produce the OT LDs.

It could be likely that since the original saga was produced on LD that the scenes did have chapter names.

 

see if you can get a copy of Star Wars Insider: The ROTJ 20th anniversary

it has photos and descriptions of lost scenes, in particular one called, "the sandstorm" which happened after they blew up Jabba's sail barge

I imagine (and hope) that it is included in the dvd

 

I've seen the SW trilogy on VCD being sold.(Early DVD literally means Video Compact Disc, for viewing on a computer.)

 

The specific title of "The Dark Side Beckons" is not from the ROTJ Special Edition soundtrack release, but from the Anthology release many years ago.

 

This may seem like a silly question, but why WOULDN'T you want to get the classics on DVD, even if you DO already have them on VHS. Those tapes will die on you eventually (I know mine are starting to go), and DVD's last for YEARS and YEARS.

 

^^ I know what you mean, my ANH video is now unwatchable, and the other 2 are in pretty bad shape too...

 

Heh, no kidding.

My ROTJ stopped working (well the sound played like a really bad record and the video was going screwy) so I just bought a new version last year.

 

Mine are working great! Maybe it's your VCR...

 

My original ANH and ROTJ are very degraded. My SE tapes are still in good condition though.

 

Binder: Of course your work great. They only deteriorate/stop working well after you've played them hundreds of times.
