True it dose look that color.

One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Some new videos posted on the star wars youtube channel with footage for all 3 of the OT but the footage is in German. Got to say that the cyan tint looks to have gone from Hoth

Does the fact that the German subtitles for Jabba's dialogue are white text in a black box mean we're finally getting burned-in subtitles that the other language options have to cover, or is that just how they like to do things over there?

OK, so maybe it isn't the same shitty transfer. It's the same shitty transfer with some colour correction and some "colour bastardization"

Now THIS is the correct attitude!

The colors could be perfect, and I still wouldn't care or buy this (granted, I'm color blind, so make of that what you will) since that still doesn't change the fact that it's the SE.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

It's bound to have further changes done. And they need to just drop the 04 master altogether. But of course LFL is the all time champion of turd polishing.

Strange Hoth seems a lot less blue altogether, much like Adywan's color-corrected AVCHD, but I thought it was established that Hoth wasn't white and there was in fact a dark blue (not cyan) tint...

On the other hand, ROTJ seems to have lost a blue tint but acquired a pink one!

Hope they make the OT better for the 3d.But the bul-rays look good in color,but not the Lightsabers. So for the 3d hope they will fix the color even more and the lightsabers.

Hey Adywan, have you tried your hand at test color corrections on any of these Blu shots yet?

Obviously there's going to be compression artifacts, but I'm wondering if Vader's saber can go back to red without fudging up the rest of the picture.

Actually i was just doing a quick test. Now all i did here was adjust the hue for Magenta.

Now why couldn't Lucasfilm do something as simple as this?

 

I have also downloaded the HD version of the trailer and it does indeed look bad for the older docs as the reported problem does seem to exist in the two shots shown, while the rest of the trailer doesn't suffer with these problems. Well all apart from the shot of R2 and the wampa that definitely has some field problems

wow how long did that take you,the lightsaber is red yes.the pic's at the bottom looks bad

The german 2004 DVDs feature the same subtitle style as the NTSC 2004 DVDs.

Releasing all 6 exclusive previews in german audio only seems like a publish accident to me.

Good to see Hoth without the blue, although Dack when he releases the cable looked VERY blue, much like the 2004 transfer. It looks like parts have been improved and others haven't. (quote and photo c/o Merlinpants from the forum of blu-ray.com)

How much did the Magenta tweak change everything? Have you applied it to other media? If so, I'm a bit happy...as my Aquos has color and image setting options 10,000 miles long. I could easily make a custom setting for the Blu-rays that mirrors that result.

Not saying this makes me happy buying this altered version, but it does give me hope that I may have control over at LEAST one thing. :-/

I don't know where you get your delusions laserbrains, but the colours in that clip seem to be practically identical to the 2004 version:

D'oh! Thanks for the comparison. It seems to be closer to the DVD than I thought at first, guess it shows I haven't seen the original '04s in awhile... Still, I thought the opening was a tad bit less blue but that's probably some optimism playing Jedi mind tricks on me.

The thing is, in this case I'd actually be more inclined to believe that this isn't the footage from the actual Blu-Rays, as they're snippets from documentaries, so they would probably use the 2004 HD master just as it was, just like Empire of Dreams uses a lot of 97SE footage.

Good point, Harmy... I wouldn't be surprised if LFL did something like that.

Doubtful...the footage isn't snippets from the documentaries. They wouldn't show scenes this long in a documentary. The intro's for each little EPK would be clips from the documentary and then there's a corresponding snippet from the actual film.

And don't even get me started on the fact that there aren't any legitimate documentaries on discs 7 and 8.

The blue tint on the empire strikes back blu ray previews in the snow walker battle is even more pronounced, wonderful, great going LFL.

It's the sad little fuckers who worship Lucas from Blu-ray.com that have started all this shit. Started getting shit off that theElBorak after it all kicked off over there and now the other morons have started. First one i got off him was "get a fucking job and stop sponging off the government you sad fucker." that one made me laugh because i don't receive any benefits. lol

Just think, a whole new world of color correction awaits!

And even more work for 005... prequels, even!
Thank god I already established I do not deal in changes to color or brightness. ;-) The Emperor slug fix, sure, but not the even-more-pink lightsabers.

And I realized something watching that RotJ clip in HD: the new Sarlacc beak is now my least favorite SE change. It looks awful. It's low resolution, it's textures are flat, and its completely unnecessary.
