Pretty much the same stunt pulled on the THX-1138 doc.

Where were you in '77?

The official page released more pictures for each Episode:
http://www.starwars.com/movies/saga/

It seems to be all Behind the Scenes Stuff though, except a 2nd Ep1 movie frame.

Regarding the new video clip:

Why the hell are the engines even more pink now? These sort of things makes me aggressive.

This might just be a language issue, so I don't want to tease too much...but I really enjoy this phrasing :-)

New video posted on the official Star Wars site showing a behind the scenes look at the X-Wing and then large section of video of the fighters approaching the death Star in EPIV. . It does look like there has been some tinkering with the colour as the cyan tint seems to have gone and it seems lighter, but those damn pink/ magenta engines just make me cringe ( a bloody SE change so they would match the bodged CG shots) instead of red and the crushed blacks are still the same..  Now you can guarantee that there will still be some who say that this clip isn't what we are going to get on the Blu-Ray, well why the hell would they post an old video to promote the blu-ray so close to the release date? Not only that, if you listen to the soundtrack, that IS NOT THE 2004 MIX

STAR WARS ON BLU-RAY/ EPIV/ X-WING

Sure is, Williams' score is a lot more prominent than the 2004 DVDs.

Anyone remember was it Sansweet or someone similar claiming that there was no error at that bit of the film, and was ALL intentional, yet the French mix was as per all the previous releases.  And now it seems likely that they've gone and fixed what wasn't "broken".

As always glad it's fixed, if indeed fixed, annoyed of the obvious 2004 BS.

Dear sirs,

With moist hands I was looking forward to owning every moment. However, I have noticed that several moments seem to have gone missing. Please refund my payment post haste.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

I bought the latest copy of Review:

http://www.dvdreview.co.uk/category/...th-paying-for/

It has an interview with Mathew Wood and on page 33 it says:

"Each film,fully remastered in gleaming high definition and a new lossles 6.1 audio track"

 

I have posted it on blu ray.com too

I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

I found this, which could be a good thing:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/303111/star-wars-on-blu-ray-fall-2011/1020#post_3839349

"In additional SW on BD news, our friend Kenny K. got the following information from a Lucasfilm e-mail:

"Industrial Light and Magic did go in and make many technical improvements, most notably color matching on select lightsabers shots."

 

So you see, what did I tell you? They lightsabers will be fixed for the Blu-Ray.

No, most of those shots are Promos already released in 77/80/83. Non of the OT pics seems to be a screenshot of the BluRay.

Ken, Frink simply asked you a question. Nowhere in that post did he make fun of or attack you.

I thouht you said you weren't going to jump to conclusions anymore?

But he didn't make fun of you just now.  Yeesh, no need to be so sensitive.  Meanwhile, congrats on being seen as a near-god on theforce.net boards for posting a screenshot of your "email", while your inbox suspiciously only had 2 emails.

I agree.  In fact, I used to be a very frequent member there.  Then threads I liked stopped being posted in, and I guess I gradually left.  They're a good forum, but the fact they believe your "email" is surprising and sad.
