The Best on Blu-ray: Restoring the Star Wars Saga for the HD Generation
More Lucas revisionist history.
"Some of the issues come from these movies being finished for film and projected for film, and that's how people saw them. A lot of things that look a little different on HD or DVD are really the nature of how video treats color space," explains Huebler. A dramatic example of this came up in the 2004 DVD release, with the dimming of the lightsaber cores throughout the trilogy, even to the point where Luke's lightsaber aboard the Millennium Falcon shifted from blue to green in Episode IV.
*eyeroll*
WOW!! Just WOW!!!
This to me, is the equivalent of 7 years ago, when they said the audio channels being reversed and drowned down was a creative decision.
I'd love to get this quote across the desk of Robert Harris or any respected film archivist and restorer. I expect their response would be one sweet quote...along the lines of: "Tell this boy to be quiet, adults are trying to work" :P
In every early instance of Star Wars I saw that scene on the Falcon Luke's saber was argually closer to just white more than any other color, and very untidy a beam. That green crap we saw in 2004 was all brand new.
Morons....what utter morons!!! All they do is disrespect themselves and their own crappy reputations by spinning some lies and garbage.
