And the only thing I think we know for sure about the DCP release is that it had the animated robotic hand. It’s not known if it has the extra speeder. Presumably the Padme lines that were changed later that year for DVD (‘is to be human’ and ‘uh huh’) were the same between DCP/35mm, since those scenes were panned by critics and it would have come up if there were different versions to be seen (and this also explains why they were indeed tweaked for the DVD).
A 35mm print would settle whether or not Jango had extra sparks added to his jet pack, but I think people are mostly in agreement that there’s no difference. Seems like just a weird assumption or false memory.
The only changes I’m certain of are the robotic hand and the Padme lines. I’m around 80% sure those speeders were taken out during the Coruscant chase, but the sparks from Jango’s jet pack are a very far stretch.
Are you talking about the DCP or just describing eventual changes?
If eventual (DVD, HDTV, etc) those are indeed all changes, including the speeder (I’ve checked) except probably for the sparks.
If DCP, I really don’t think there’s any way of knowing. There is absolutely no way anyone remembers whether or not an extra speeder was there for a couple frames. 😃 We know about the hand because it was mentioned in contemporary reviews well before the DVD came out. As I said before, I would be surprised if Padme’s lines were not mentioned at that same time. Could the DCP have used the same DTS files we have access to? Or they would include their own audio?
I’m referring to eventual changes.
I think you’re right about Padme’s lines, though I’m really not sure if there is any way of ever checking.
I’m not highly knowledgeable on DCPs, is there any feasible way somebody could get a hold of one at all? I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure some of them ‘expire’ after a certain amount of time or are permanently locked, I could be wrong though.
