Can anyone even imagine watching a Star Wars film in anything but widescreen, especially a PT film?

I don't think I want too...

I don't really care. But if I had to choose, fullscreen.

Widescreen by miles. How would you feel if you went to ROTS at the movies and it was in fullscreen?

You have to go widescreen. It is the future, and you see so much more than full screen.

Fullscreen for me, simply becos i dont like there faces widen to make them look fat or blubbery.

widen? Fullscreen has the ends chopped off and the screen is stretched in order to fit your screen. Fullscreen is stretched, widescreen is the picture you see in the theatre, not some edited picture.

Fullscreen gets stretched.

Fullscreen loses picture.

Fullscreen loses some of the direction of the movie (some shots need to be editted to make sense - and are usually hacked to death).

Widescreen all the way.

The logic is quite simple really. Amazing that so many people here lack any.

I didn´t realise you that there was a choice.

Widescreen movies I hire out are crap half the picture is missing, unless you´ve got a widescreen TV of course

Ignorant fools, listen to Superfly's reasoning. 😛

You contradicted yourself. Fullscreen does that.

No, all the picture is there. Fullscreen is where you miss the picture. There are black bars, but that part was never there. Fullscreen is when you lose. Widescreen, you retain the entire picture.

Widescreen meets both criteria.

If you don't want to lose anything, watch it in widescreen.

If your TV is small, you can zoom x1 with your DVD player, and........
the bicture gets bigger.

This way you have all options open to you when and if you get a bigger TV, or better yet, a widescreen TV.

I'm DVD stupid and had no idea that you lose some of the picture in full screen. I guess I will buy widescreen from now on.

When the six DVD set comes out in November, I'll be getting Widescreen then. Unfortunately, I have Episodes I,IV,V, and VI in Full Screen

Ani's Girl.. you have been seduced to the widescreen. Go.. do what must be done. Show no mercy. 😄

you just killed it

WIDESCREEN all the way

I actually have a problem with my DVD player. It streches the picture if the movie is widescreen: the SW DVD's widescreen have the 16:9 aspect ratio, but some "widescreen" movie don't come with that same ratio. these movie looked like full screen, but the my SW copies get streched and they look awful.

luckly for me I have a PS2, so I watch widescreen movies in my PS2
