The first step of a preservation is to determine what the original contained. Before we can discuss any specific preservation, we have to have the discussion about what, if anything is different.
The alleged change in question is a “bleep bloop”, which I believe is the correct scientific nomenclature.
Hah.
Really, though, I do agree that a thread like this will be useful if changes are actually found out. I’m not sure how it’s different from other ‘method development’ threads in this section such as super resolution or color matching in that sense.
But it’s probably jumping the gun a bit as the blu-ray isn’t out yet. And it’s unclear at what point in time discussion of the cam will be considered fair game. It’s clearly acceptable around here for episodes II and III (as are 1978 bootlegs of the first film), but it’s understandable if we’re a ways off from that still.
Clarity on that would be good. I’d say it’s a safe assumption that everyone here is buying the BD or DVD anyway.
