Main differences between theatrical TPM and Blu-Ray TPM are :

  • Yoda puppet replaced by CGI
  • podrace restructured (more racers, more laps, 5 more minutes)
  • colors fully regraded on a shot-by-shot basis
  • Digital Noise Reduction and degrain applied to Blu-Ray (trying to conform the original 35mm image to AOTC/ROTS HDCAM look&feel)
  • missing scene (arrival on Coruscant: from Palpatine’s office to Anakin talking with Jar Jar, was replaced by another taxi scene)
  • Senate scene : human extras replaced by Aliens
  • Naboo’s palace : one bridge added on Blu-Ray
  • CGI effects re-rendered on Blu-Ray
  • some shots were reframed (to give more wideness), but not all
  • new 5.1 mix with new sound effects
