It’s shots like the Death Star surface which are reasons against having Star Wars in 4K when they are that smooth grey ball. Which is one of the few reasons not to have Star Wars in 4k.
Get Out.
Your ideas have nothing to do with a restoration. Your thoughts belong in the Fan Edit section of the forums.
JEDIT: Thought this was the #4K77 thread. Still, all this Star Wars ride crap has nothing to do with a restoration of Star Wars '77.
I was talking about how it could be packaged to make it appealing. You won’t be seeing a restoration on Star Wars from 1977 being sold on it’s own.
Actually according to Disney you probably won’t be seeing a 4K restoration if that is what they are claiming un-interest. And it will be a Blu-ray at 1080p.
As soon as the Original unaltered film were to be released there would be damnation of how certain aspects were not right and people would set about copying it and altering it in order to fulfill their own tastes. Where the majority of people will like the release but ultimately be a flash in the pan. Cool we got the original film, then the claims about how superior the special editions are will start to be shouted out across the media and “I forgot how bad some of the special effects were” start to echo.
I think Disney should release the OT and a new Special Edition. This would be the best course of action to please everyone. I was merely trying to state how if they do a special edition I don’t want it being crammed full of CGI.
I am actually trying to find the thing that will fly off the shelves like there is no tomorrow to actually make it viable.
A mass produced Original Unaltered version of Star Wars sold on it’s own will sell well at first but ultimately end up a bargain bucket title unlike all the new films which the this generations Kids Love.
The Kids of today might like Star Wars from 1977 but they will prefer the new films more. Which put’s the old film from 1977 in a bit of a predicament 40 years later of how to sell it all over again to the Kid’s of today. And the Kid’s have already seen it from their parents DVD collection.
You obviously don’t really care about anyone who should care to put money in to making it happen to make it economically viable to do so.
And most people will just settle for their free bootleg fan re-creation making it even less economically viable to do a proper job on it because you can get it pretty much for free.
Perhaps a better strategy is to create another 6 different versions of Star Wars simultaneously so people have to buy the film six times and observe all the differences.
