      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based on actress Carrie Fisher

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD looks a bit dated, but overall images should be quite pleasing. Colors are rich and warm, with good balance, accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Images seem a bit soft, but sharpness and detail can be nicely rendered. There are a few source element artifacts revealed. There is a bit of edge enhancement, but nothing terribly obtrusive. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The soundtrack, in Dolby

    Reason #19 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’ve been reading WSR since Issue 1. I have never had any problem, any misunderstanding, or any doubt about their published articles or interviews. They are absolutely thrust full. The articles look like a Master Business Course. It is a fantastic well-written magazine with brilliant topics, thanks to the capacity of the editors and their teams. Years ago, I discussed this in Las Vegas with a George Lucas THX engineer, and at the end of two hours he agreed with me. My information was based on all the WSR issues I had read.
