Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) — Page 298

Did they fix the goof in Empire where you can see Hamill's head pop back up after he bounces off the trampoline in the carbon-freezing chamber?  Once you see that you can't help but notice it every time.  If they fixed the Wampa arm I'd hope they'd fix that too.  Something tells me they didn't though. :)

The Cheezberger network agrees with us.

EDIT: link broken? Anyway, it was the picture of the inside of the case with the OT main characters circled, saying "I thought these guys were important."

Ha ha, Fox is hunting down the Deleted Scenes on YouTube and they don't seem to bother to watch them :-) I just got this....

Funny thing is the deleted scenes were uploaded on and stayed up all weekend, I guess Fox's legal department only work Monday-Friday.

OK, I just bought the bonus discs from a friend who didn't want them.  So I got what I want, plus Harmy's discs and some covers from VideoCollector, I'm a happy Sluggo.

Please can you tell me where I can order multi Blu-Ray holders just like those?

When watching the Bonus features I saw of course the deleted scenes. The interviews and mini-docs sometimes feature on-set audio, scenes without their score, alternate angles & takes, bits and pieces of the OUT (like the unexpanded Bespin), new audio commentary for the OT.

And one might not forget the new audio mix.

Does someone already have plans to use stuff from the blu ray release for their next projects?

A Fan-Documentary like Star Wars Begins for example?

Fan Edits?

Preservation projects?

---

And does someone know if its possible to zoom the window area to full screen, when watching most of the bonus content on disc 7/8?

You guys have got to see this comedy gold edit of the deleted scenes.\

Ok guys, you can burn me at the stake, but if George inserted this into the OUT as the only change to the theatrical ROTJ, I'd be all for it. :P

Very well done by the original creator.  Would love to know how long it took from start to finish.

Geez, they didn't even include "From Star Wars to Jedi?" That sucks...

I wish they'd finally release the old "Droids" cartoon on DVD or something (the complete and unaltered collection). I loved that series!

Who didn't just buy the two trilogy sets and saved himself at least $10? Strange, but at least Sluggo benefited.

You can get it from an "unofficial source" if that's OK for you :)

I just came from the shop. I went there to buy the new Queen DVD and I suddenly found myself buying the 9BD set for 100 Euros :-(

And what "unofficial source" might that be? Because that's totally OK with me (although it would be nice if LFL put out a quality release of them).

I have a serious problem - if the salesperson is a beautiful girl, I switch to a mode, where I say yes to everything :)

I'm sure you impressed her by spending 100 Euros on Star Wars. ;-)

Just a realistic view of things, I fear.

^ Well, I prefer to remain optimistic. Surely we've had SOME effect, and I'm sure that any effect, no matter how small, is still felt by the higher-ups. They know we exist, and they know what we want - Lucas can't hold out forever.

It is unfortunate that the Lucasfilm team hasn't show the love and care for their films that the Doctor Who Restoration Team shows for their program.

That having been said... the DWRT does sometimes go a little too far in terms of "cleaning" and "restoration". I'll concede that cleaning dirt and scratches up, and locking and steadying some shaky matte shots is all well and good, but they got into a bit of a controversy when they adjusted the lighting (well, the sky, if memory serves) in a scene from a 1960s story, changing it from basically daytime (as shot and transmitted) to nighttime (as intended in terms of the story timeline). IMHO that's going a bit too far, especially when that's not presented as an "alternate angle" like they do for a lot of their stuff, like new CGI laser beams and so forth.

But despite all that, those Doctor Who DVDs are fantastic. My wife and I watched a bit of the Day of the Daleks SE, and we both marvelled at the fact that the quality on this 39 year old TV show was just incredible.
