I don't get why anybody has even entertained the notion of the 2004 color problems not being on the blu-rays. It's the same transfer. All the official promo material has shown the same crushed blacks and darker hue as the 2004 release. I don't care about fixing a lightsaber here and there. I care about the fact that you can barely make out details in the background on the 2004 dvd and the upcoming blu-ray.
SW fans...I've never met a group more hopeful for things that will never come true. Lucas continues to mistreat these movies and people just continue to buy each release anyways. I respect and appreciate the work of individuals who put out color comparisons and try to inform consumers, but your voices are drowned out by the louder idiot apologists who can't comprehend the fact that there might be problems with the A/V on the 2004 and upcoming blu-ray.
Sheesh. What else is there to which a person can cling for hope? What reason is there to think that these blu-rays will not have the same problems as 2004? This has been known for months but people have continued to deny it. I don't get it...
edit: I'm not even talking about the leaked 720p images at mf.com. I doubt those are authentic. I'm talking about every piece of promotional material Lucasfilm has released. Nothing has made me think the color problems will be corrected in any way, other than a few lightsaber touches. Again, I'd rather have the original lightsabers from 1977 than CGI'd ones.
