Hi there, just thought I’d post something I noticed.
At around the 30-31 minute (forget the specific time) mark of the TFA Blu-Ray, there is a close-up of BB-8 fleeing with Rey and Finn, headed for the Falcon.
Now in the theatrical version BB-8 makes a little “bleep bloop” noise, this is completely absent from the Blu Ray version.
This is the only change I’ve picked up so far but I highly doubt it’s the only one. That means that once again, no matter how minor, we have another Star Wars film edited from its original format for the home video release.
The company and staff may change, but the tradition never will :’)
You’re probably going to be told to ‘keep it in the pants’ until a week from tomorrow. But things like this are obviously going to be of interest around here at that point. Still, there’s only one way to get the film now, and it’s not a good way. Even if your local store gets it in early, they won’t allow it to be rung up on the system (people have tried).
On that note, are we going to change how we allow for discussion of the cam bootlegs at that point in time, provided that everyone is buying the blu-ray to discuss that end of things? The Centropy cam recording of AoTC is an invaluable source of information, as seen in other threads, as there is no other source of what the film looked like on screens. Or are we waiting a bit longer?
