Cinemax Star Wars Marathon

Me too until I found out they're foolscreen.

Well thats only true if you dont have the HD Channel. If you have the HD Channel you get the HD versions. I don't have it either, not many companies carry it either from what I can see, I wish it would have been on Showtime or HBO.

Ah gotcha. Dang that would have been sweet then. I have HD cable for my LCD HDTV, but not Cinemax.

I watched this all weekend as well. I finally got to see the Endor Commando team as well as Nik Sant. Heh.

Let me be the first to say that DirecTV BLOWS for not offering Cinemax HD!!! :emperor

Agreed!

 

[Lembas Eater]

BTW, the Lo Def Cinemax Full Screen Episode 1 looks HORRIBLE!!!!!!! The Full Screen enlargements (which I hate anyway, of course) really go way beyond the resolution. I could not believe this was airing in this condition.

B A D!

I reactivated my DirecTV after a year without it, and was bummed to see that Cinemax HD was not available. So much for recording Star Wars with an HD DVR.

I watched the ENTIRE trilogy on a 64" HDTV this weekend, TWICE. I really do have no life. We were doing a split screen, Star Wars Marathon on one half, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the other half. I actually feel sorry for myself.

Looks like HBO HD is going start running the SW movies next month, so get those DVRs ready!

I watched EP1 and ROTS a couple times in the last two weeks when I was going to sleep.

Very cool thing indeed. I'm moving shortly and (gasp) I haven't got HD yet for my big screen because of the move coming up. I'll get HBO HD right in the nick of time. I can't wait! :chew

Seriously fellas, I was blown away on how nice SW and ESB looked in HD. Just amazing.

Hells yes!!! I have Episodes 3&4 on my DVR and will get 5 later this week. Screw having to wait forever for these on HD-DVD.
