GL's getting old. http://www.agingeye.net/visionbasics/theagingeye.php

Color vision and contrast sensitivity are also affected by aging. Color vision changes cause some reduction of ability to discriminate blues and blue-greens. The yellowing of the lens is believed to be responsible for this effect. The aging lens and cornea causes glare by light scattering, especially for shorter wavelengths. Stray light and lenticular fluorescence washes out contrast. (Reference: Work, Aging and Vision. National Academy Press; 1987). Contrast sensitivity shows a significant age-related decline (Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2000;20:323-34). Wavefront aberrations of the cornea also increase with age, leading to poor vision quality especially when the pupil dilates as in the dark (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1999;40:1351-5)

I like that they added voiceover of Shmi to Anakin's dream in AOTC so that it now finally sounds like a nightmare instead of a...well, you know.

The teal shift is probably not from aging. It's just a trend. They probably wanted to do a quick colour-pass to make it look "nicer" for Blu Ray, maybe pop the colours, get rid of any pink shift, etc. So in these cases it's usually up to the discretion of the colourist, and colourist sort of automatically go for the teal-and-orange look nowadays because the older pink-and-blue look is dated. If you saw the film on its own you'd probably hardly be aware it had been changed, other than something was different, it's the side-by-side where things seem more noticeable. TPM seems to have had a colour-pass too, but the colourist kept things more neutral--actually, he seems to have preferred a more "golden" cast overall. ROTS looks about the same to me, but maybe because it was the most recent.

Does anyone know if the shot in Episode I where Darth Maul's neck is unpainted when he is talking to Sidious has been fixed?

Ah, Freiheit, starring none other than the director of such classic films as Grease and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid!

Just a mini update:

• SW4-6 blu rays don't have any easter eggs but plenty of Gigabyte free
• ROTJ: During the Vader throws down Palpatine scene (which is critisized the most in this release) GL talks in the audio commentary about how you can read his emotions from the mask. It's such ironical.

Didn't have the interest to watch the prequels yet.

It will be interesting to see how the vintage documentaries will look as Adywan source said they do come from old VHS/Laserdisc masters from the 80's/90's. Interlaced SD content, not prepared to be viewed on progressive (HD) displays. Such effort definately deserves THX blu ray disc certificate *sarcastic*.

Oh, that's nothing.

Kenneth Branagh's four-hour, 65mm-shot Hamlet takes up like 35 gigs or something on its blu-ray.

The three-hour-each theatrical LOTRs take up barely 40 gigs each.

The two-and-a-half hour Goodfellas takes up less than 25.

For a two hour movie like Star Wars, 40 gigs is plenty.

Even more changes found?

seriously, what is the point anymore? No one has yet to answer me that.

We need to go Nuremburg trials on these Lucasfilm fuckers.

The World War II analogies are wearing thin, and don't help our public image any.

HaHaHa, does the public even care about our opinions?

They might if we make rational factual arguments, and lay off the Nazi crap.

I would agree that we're better off not making Hitler comparisons (despite what I consider to be a fascist approach by Mr Lucas) or that the fanbase has been "raped". 

What seems to be getting the most attention is Lucas's speech to Congress in the 80s, and the alleged comment made to a fan that went something like "Move on with your life...they're my movies, not yours." I think Mr Lucas and Lucasfilm in general is having a bit of a PR problem these days. And considering that he's got six movies that he intends to release theatrically (AGAIN) in 3D, it would be in his best interest to make nice. Ergo, release the OOT for those who want it.

That doesn't mean he will.

^SilverWook he's not worth your time.

Not worth your time!? I'm the only person here who knows what is going on with the SW franchise, and how ultimately, GL will win in destroying the original films outside of fan preservations. Never will we get to see Han Solo shoot first, Sebastian Shaw's warm smile at the end of Jedi, and Vader's silent decision to save Luke in the quality these films deserve. Since it is inevitable that GL will win over us, he needs to be punished for the damage he has done to our cultural heritage. I ask you all again, what is the point? All you have ever succeeded in doing is make two petitions that failed, and substandard bootlegs that are still going to be behind the curve 20 years from now.

Oh Freivous you are such a dashing iconoclast. Someone has to rock the truth right? You're just like PUMP UP THE VOLUME.

You know, sometimes I think I prefer not having the OOT just to spite frevious.
