As the Mad Hatter would say, “curiouser and curiouser.”

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.

I’m sure they’d look fantastic, if only Imgur wasn’t blocked.

Hey all, I keep hearing there’s some behind the scenes transcript that dropped alongside the videos?

Apologies if this has been addressed , but do we have any evidence (like a screenshot) that this is a restoration of the theatrical versions (or at least something pre-1997)? Is it possible this will just be the same edit as what is on disney+?

Several screenshots further back in this thread are of pre-SE shots in all three movies

Yes. We’ve seen original model shots, matte paintings, and even the original Sy Snootles puppet…

There was a transcript of an interview where it was mentioned they were doing a new 7.1 mix using alternate audio takes in certain places, if that’s what you’re referring to.

There’s also a half second or so of technical jargon at the start of each clip.
