Seeing as that's the SW77 menu, there shouldn't be any text at all on his chestplate.

Then there should be two other variations for each ESB and ROTJ.

For people who are more familiar with the Reliance samples: Is this VUDU stuff the same restoration? Such a waste of time and money.

This is the 2011 versions going by colour - not any new restoration.

I have a hard time believing this. Why release on VUDU of all places and why hasn't there been an announcement?

Vudu is the biggest digital movie rental venue on the planet. They have the largest library of instantly watchable films anywhere.

Yeah this is a whole new cash stream to get from the 2011 box without doing anything. (and for all the yammering about Fox, the Disney logo is all over this)

That says more about you than anything. =P

If you're the type that regularly rents films digitally, you've at least heard of Vudu if not use it as your standard go to.

When you buy a film on disc and it says it includes a digital copy that means a Vudu code.

Actually, what's interesting is that the Star Wars trailer has the Fox logo, which confirms who the home video rights to each belongs- Fox has Star Wars, Disney has the rest. It's also worth noting that they are willing to work out a deal to release them in some form.

On everything except on ANH where it states the studio is Fox and not Disney/Lucasfilm.

"Experience the movie that changed the world..." it says of a video edit created in 2004/2011. :)

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

Yeah I don't know why so many people considered the Fox thing some kind of roadblock all of a sudden.

Yeah, that's just ridiculous. The only roadblock is George and always has been.

I've never heard of Netflix, therefore it must not be very popular.

I wonder if there's any possibility of seeing HD versions of the PT deleted scenes as part of the bonus material.

My stance on revising fan edits.

Netflix ... Wasn't that an alternative to the Internet that was proposed in 1992 but never went anywhere?

These didn't seem to generate much of a laugh in the other thread that I posted. But honestly, this is simply how Disney should accomplish the next release:

What switches would each of you flip?

Seeing as that's the SW77 menu, there shouldn't be any text at all on his chestplate.

Then there should be two other variations for each ESB and ROTJ.

None of which would use Aurebesh, as while it's loosely based on a SINGLE screen from ROTJ, is mostly an invention of the EU.

The original trilogy actually had it's own alien font that was used over all three films on props and the sets that has since been forgotten.

Yep good eye. The Aurebesh text was just a little April Fool's Easter Egg... a deliberate creative decision. haha

Someone at VUDU likely goofed and made it public a little too early.
