I’m watching at 240p, and it’s shite as hell.

Don’t bother turning down the resolution, it’s just the stream.

EDIT: What the…? It just ended 😄

I know right?! Maybe they were trying to be funny.

Hah even their (presumably not live) bookend with the Star Wars Show robot crashed without finishing properly.

Besides the Williams and Fisher tribute, that stream was beyond underwhelming

As for the Celebration surprise(s), someone mentioned earlier the possibility of it being a Lucas appearance. That would be fitting, and I don’t think anyone said the surprise would be any kind of announcement. If anything, the big surprise being merchandise of any kind, including a new home media release, would probably get an underwhelming “making the fans buy the same movies again” response, OOT or not. That doesn’t sound like a fitting enough surprise for such a huge panel.

Just gonna quote myself here, before everyone gets all disappointed that an unrealistic announcement wasn’t announced.

Umm…Were there even ANY announcements during that panel? Surprises but no announcements…

You know what was the kicker? That they said TFA and RO are available everywhere on Blu-ray. That was the last thing on the screen. Fuck off.

Fuck it. I’m so tempted to buy the burned Despecialized Blu-Rays off ebay. I’m beyond sick of this. Fuck you Lucas you old bastard. No one likes your Prequels no matter how hard you whore them.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Any chance we still can get an OOT announcement?

So I pulled some screenshots of the Carrie Fisher tribute to see if they had changed the Star Wars scan or whether it was the old lowry one, and it looks to be the same:

The slight color differences between the two shots are well documented elsewhere and are probably the result of a LUT created for online presentation of the Blu-ray.

Interestingly, the center of the final shot was brightened for some reason. I would say it was because of Carrie Fisher, but all three of the leads have brightening applied to their heads. Very curious.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Well that was underwhelming. Definitely lacking in whelm.

Mate, just download them from myspleen - please don’t give money to the pricks on ebay profiting off Harmy and everyone else who contributed to making the DeSpecialised Editions happen.

Exactly. Instead of buying them off eBay, put that money towards buying a blu-ray burner!

More than four years on from the sale of Lucasfilm and still no OUT. They are taking the fucking piss.

The problem is the Despecialized editions simply aren’t good enough. The colour timing is way way off. In the case of A New Hope it’s dire. Silver Screen edition is great, but for the sequels all we have is the grindhouse versions.

I think I am coming to terms with Harmy’s Despecialized or TN1 35mm scans as the only versions I will ever need. Disney won’t do it. This was the ultimate chance to announce a real preservation project, but no. Instead let’s all stroke George’s ego some more.
