Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) — Page 167

I'll believe it when you (and half a dozen other people who's opinion I trust) see it too :-)

I believe you Ken. Mostly because getting the sabers the right color, which SPACEBALLS has always managed to do, sounds like the kind of thing LF will expect a medal for.

Look at the stuff you get in your threads, I create lots of threads no one cares about, it's a wonder any of us return.  He's been lurking and doing this for maybe 5 years with multiple accounts, looking for something he is.

You have that right, I wonder the same thing all the time, I have to admit I really enjoyed this place a lot more years ago before all the AK's and Pessimists, that is why I am SO glad to be done with my latest project and soon as I see what people think and I figure out how I am going to share these, I may retire from here to LOL.

I am though very interested in the Saga Set coming, and I do not buy into any of the 2 very annoying groups, which are the Ass Kissers(AK's) and the other side, the Pessimists, because to me both sides are so full of shit they are just flat out blind, NO ONE here has seen these Blu's in their own Homes, NO ONE, so if people want to make shit up and believe everything they read and see online, well that is just ludicrous, sure some of the info may start to lean one way or the other, but it still is not HARD FACTS, I honestly don't understand why we can't all talk about what we do know without all the crazy conspiracy theories.

I know that this will give me some flack from some now but that is OK, but that is how I feel, like double05 said above, "I will believe it when I see it".

 I find this ironic considering you've pre-ordered the set months ago. That's not really wait and see; You've endorsed the product in advance and are now upset that everyone is criticizing something you've endorsed. This philosophy is really "buy and see", and thats the whole trap people fell into in 2004. We will wait and see precisely what is different and the same to the 2004 master, but there is a pretty substantial body of evidence that gradually emerged that gives us fairly solid, evidence-based indications of many of the fundamental issues that people wondered about the release. You have to use your head, take it all in, concede that there are several variables still unknown, and make a judgement call. The most reasonable stance, as far as I am concerned, is that indeed the set has most of the problems from the 2004 master, is in fact basically a slightly tweaked version of that master and not a wholly new transfer, but has improved a few issues while also introducing a few new issues. I don't think this is an extremist Pessimistic-with-a-capital-P view, but a level-headed one. To ignore all the emerging evidence and merely proclaim "we will never know until we see the final product" is to ignore a lot of common sense and it's essentially the same argument that the "Ass-Kissers", as you designate them, have been advocating. We will wait and see, and we will hope for the best, but there is quite a lot of information out there that can guide our expectations and judgements in the meantime.

Adamwan... LOL!

adamwankenobi is a banned ot.com member.

Is that the pedo?

(I just found the name funny, lol)

Yes...or at least suspected pedo.  Can't remember for sure.

Anyway...+1 (or negative -1 if you prefer) for zombie's post.

zombie, you call it whatever the hell you want, I really could care less, and I do not have this pre ordered, I am going to pick it up in Store on release day, I was going to pre order but no need to, everyone will have it, and yes, I will wait and see MYSELF! I am not going to take anyone's shit facts from stupid ass screens and such online, it is funny, when I make a comment such as that I usually can pin point exactly who is going to comment.

I am a Star Wars fan, and YES I am going to buy this Set and I have said so many times over, but I will reserve judgment on it until I can look at it myself, on my system, in my Home, is that so DAMN hard to understand? plus I am sure there will be material on this Set that I can use for "projects".

Emerging evidence? LMAO! so you have seen these Blu's yourself? has anyone here watched them themselves? I think not, they are not out yet, NOTHING is concrete yet, well maybe to some I suppose, LOL, I do not know why I keep letting myself click on this damn thread, I avoided the one at blu-ray.com perfectly, but for some reason I keep looking at this one, I have to stop.

Thank you for your time and comment.

*edit - see the thing is, the pessimists keep showing the same damn things over, and over, well obviously they believe it very much, so why keep posting about it, just don't buy the damn Set, and just the opposite holds true for the ass kissers, they keep spouting the same damn shit over, and over, and are going to buy it no matter what, I am right in the middle, I am not spouting neither side, I think both are just as fucking silly, but I am going to buy it for above mentioned reasons, and I am a Fan, plus I want to see what is the same, and what is different for myself.

You're not in the middle if you are buying it no matter what. You said it yourself, you will buy it on release day and see. Others will see before they buy it. That's a big difference, and it says a lot about how you are approaching the matter. If you don't really care about the 2004 issues that much and just want to watch SW on blu-ray, then fine, say so, but don't hide behind a rhetoric that is ultimately the exact same approach as the "AK" crowd.

And yes, there is evidence out there OTHER than having the discs in your hands. I don't know why this is hard to understand. From what people involved in the set and at Lucasfilm have said, to officially-released screenshots and videos, to the history and context of the 2004 master, to the marketing approach of Lucasfilm, it's pretty clear that the 2004 master--regardless of how it is tweaked--is being used for the release. You don't have to fly off the handle with your rants like you always do. I feel like you have temper issues or something, it's just discussion of a Star Wars blu ray, just relax.

Also, thanks Bingo for pointing out the -1 thread. I hadn't known about that, and also hadn't noticed I have a few PMs from him.

You really crack me up dude, I am getting it to see for myself(plus I have Kids, a Wife,I have a Family, so it is not just about ME in my House) but that I see is to simple for you to understand, and I am going to use the footage in PROJECTS! jeez! and yes, some of the 2004 errors bother me, but there is NOTHING concrete yet to say this will or will not have them, so you call me an AK all you want, it is very clear where you stand my friend, obviously in the pessimist group, but whatever, in the end, we are ALL Star Wars fans to some degree or we would not be here, and that is what we all have in common, some are just nothing is wrong, or never will be wrong, the DVD's & BD's are perfect, and then you have, OH ALL these DVD's are SHIT, the Blu-ray Set that is coming is going to be SHIT, we have a ton of proof of this, come see it now, DON'T BUY, pass it on, we need to make GL pay for this, LMAO! read the posts from some here in this thread and you can see who is who, and if you can read, you will see, I am neither, I am not preaching or believing either side, as I said, BOTH sides are just as fucking silly.

Thanks again for your kind words, and taking the time to comment.

ps. and I just love how you talk about my temper issue, I am calm as hell sitting here, I am just grinning from ear to ear at your high and mighty stance on this, I am not worked up at all, I just love reading some of these stupid ass posts made by some, it truly is very entertaining to say the least, soon enough one of the sides will be able to say "I told you so".

You took that out of context.  Boooooo.

Ah, sorry, now I see it :D

To divert 20% of my blame, that guy probably shouldn't teach his "kids" how to write letters :p

No this makes you kenkraly:

dark_jedi wrote: we are ALL Star Wars fans to some degree

And i'll go into further elaboration but this is incorrect. *THIS* (waves arms furiously) is a mental disability. I am not a Star Wars fan, I have a disability and acknowledging the problem is part of the solution.

*EDIT*

I just recently finished taking a course, after the final class a bunch of us went out for a celebratory drink.  So everyone shares a little about their lives and eventually I can't help but mention the shit i'm involved in being investigatory into this SW thing.  A literal spit take from one of the group, and that's fine but it's that look afterwards like, 'you complete waste of existence', that comes to their face.  Which just drills home how off the map we really are here.

No, THEY are off the map, not you.
For being complete morons.

If you can go out for a drink for many hours (as well as watch sports or whatever) and not be a waste of existence, then you can do stuff with SW and be none the worse.
I'm guessing they've got some amount of insecurity about their own hobbies, so it figures.
