Could be worse.

Could be worse.
The main reason why I bought this disk is(like most of the people here) ORIGINAL THEATRICAL version. First when I watched the back cover, which says that it has 4:3 aspect ratio, I thought: "Well, maybe the picture is zoomed like on old VHS tapes". No, it's not zoomed. So what you get is a full picture, but, because of the aspect ratio, it's so small you have to zoom it by yourself. And if you need subs, that causes an even bigger problem, because they're placed on the black line under the actual movie. So in this case you can't zoom the picture to full screen to keep the subs uncroped(photo added). The picture is a little bit blured, but I guess this is pretty standard for this kind of version(well, that's why it's the ORIGINAL version; I never expected to get blu-ray-sharp picture). And after all it reminded me about these times when I watched Star Wars on VHS, where(as I remember) everything was even more blured. When I read the comments, I first thought that the picture is zoomed and pixelated, but everything turned out to be not that bad. And despite all the problems with aspect ratio and subs positioning I still enjoyed it.
Thank you for your feedback

Star Wars: Episode V – Das Imperium schlägt zurück (Original-Kinoversion + Special Edition, 2 DVDs) [Limited Edition] FSK 12 ca. 124 Minuten Spielzeit

Bestellt über AMAZON. Aber gebraucht aus dem Bestand von Medimops (siehe Bild). Zustand OK.

Star Wars Episode V zählt schon seit Erstsichtung zu meinem Lieblingsfilm der Trilogie. Faszinierend fand ich, dass es neben der deutschen und englischen Spur eine Spanische gibt. Leider sonst sehr selten. Seltsam fand ich, dass im Weltbekannten INTRO-Vorspann, wie auch schon bei Episode IV der Text auf Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln läuft. War damals im Kino und auf der alten VHS Version nicht so. Ich glaube zu STAR WARS muss man eigentlich nichts mehr erzählen. Ich besaß seit ihrer Erscheinung schon die silberne DVD-Box mit den Episoden 4 bis 6 plus Zusatz DVD. Auf dieser befinden sich natürlich die bearbeiteten und restaurierten Versionen wie hier auf dieser oben genannten. Leider damals zu früh zugeschlagen. Weil ich einfach nochmal die unbearbeitete Originalversion von 1980 sehen wollte, musste ich hier zugreifen.

Ich bewerte hier also die Originalversion von 1980 wie ich sie damals sehr oft im Kino geschaut habe.

FAZIT: Einfach genial. So muss es damals gewesen sein. Ein breiter Streifen oben und unten schwarz. Einfach das Original. Ton und Bildqualität auch völlig ok. Was ich nicht wusste, der Imperator wird hier witzigerweise von einer Lady (Elaine Baker) dargestellt. Stimme aber wohl dann doch von Jemand anders. Die Schlacht in der Eiswüste von Hoth wirkt bei der Originalversion von 1980, im Vergleich zu restaurieren Version nun doch etwas blass.

Außerdem werden hier auf dieser 2. DVD Disc noch zusätzlich Extras angeboten, die mich aber wirklich nicht interessierten. STAR WARS LEGO interessiert mich nun wirklich nicht.

Gebe alle Sterne.
