The post before, you said you now know all about the 2004 dvds, now you say that IF you wanted to know you could go to wikipedia.  These kind of statements are why you are unreliable.

Is that a fake, or will it appear on the TPM bonus features?

Yes, you can't tell by the doubledecker bongo in the background, sheesh.

I don't get why anybody has even entertained the notion of the 2004 color problems not being on the blu-rays. It's the same transfer. All the official promo material has shown the same crushed blacks and darker hue as the 2004 release. I don't care about fixing a lightsaber here and there. I care about the fact that you can barely make out details in the background on the 2004 dvd and the upcoming blu-ray.

SW fans...I've never met a group more hopeful for things that will never come true. Lucas continues to mistreat these movies and people just continue to buy each release anyways. I respect and appreciate the work of individuals who put out color comparisons and try to inform consumers, but your voices are drowned out by the louder idiot apologists who can't comprehend the fact that there might be problems with the A/V on the 2004 and upcoming blu-ray.

Sheesh. What else is there to which a person can cling for hope? What reason is there to think that these blu-rays will not have the same problems as 2004? This has been known for months but people have continued to deny it. I don't get it...

edit: I'm not even talking about the leaked 720p images at mf.com. I doubt those are authentic. I'm talking about every piece of promotional material Lucasfilm has released. Nothing has made me think the color problems will be corrected in any way, other than a few lightsaber touches. Again, I'd rather have the original lightsabers from 1977 than CGI'd ones.

Here's the thing - hasn't he said similar things over and over again, only to say the opposite later?  Not to mention what he says on every other site on the internet.

No sale.

So since we are in or close to leak season, what are specific shots or things which people can use to verify if some release is an actual blu-ray rip.  And Part Two: What things should someone check for once it's verified as being a blu-ray rip.


So far the only things we KNOW are:

Phantom Menace: CGI Yoda
Attack of the Clones: ?
Revenge of the Sith: ?
A New Hope: ?
Empire Strikes Back: Wampa arm cover
Return of the Jedi: Proper saber cross in front of Palps

Once it is confirmed, look through the Visual Comparisons and see if you notice anything else. Most of the 2004 work was very subtle (surprisingly), so you would have to be really observant.

GO to Moments.StarWars.com for pics. and videos from the star wars bul-ray.

The Originals dose look like the 04 dvd but with better coloring,even sink tones in most shots,better light sabers and better stars to.

Comments.

One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Take a pic from the website, and the same image from your DVD.  Post them here and explain how the coloring is better.  *edit* bul-ray is catchy */edit*

Also one would assume the leaked blu-rays will be absent of the infamous humdinger glitch as it's supposed to be fixed.

If your going to label the HD broadcast rips as the leaked Blu-rays why not go one better and upload Harmy's HD reconstructions and propagate that lie. If people downloaded them thinking they were the Blu-rays it would blow their freaking minds.

That moments.starwars.com site is laughable. Most of the top ten moments are from the prequels. Either the site traffic is prequel lovers or those lists are skewed.

I can't fathom that an earnest poll of SW fans would have something like Darth Maul's reveal or Dooku and Yoda's duel over Yoda lifting the X-Wing out of the swamp or Han's "I know" line.

Give it up, George. People aren't going to revere the PT as they do the OT. One trilogy is classic (despite your efforts to mold it into "your own" and erase others' handprints) while the other is just a mish mash of CGI and awful writing.

If these are indeed real then where the hell is this so called colour correction that the OT has supposed to have got? 

Ah, millenniumfalcon.com - crushing my spirits since 2004.

It's them, I believe, that premiered the clips/screenshots of Hayden in ROTJ and the new Emperor in TESB back in the day.

This is OT.com - I thought we're here to expel our venom at Lucas for not treating the UOT properly?

Seriously, though, if people are happy with the set then I hope they enjoy it. I just think it's a damn shame that Lucas continues to make all these CGI tweaks and not give the (small group of?) fans what they really want.
