I still don't get the equatorial shockwave thing.
Where were you in '77?
Funny, but that reminds me, that's how the Death Star should explode. I actually being serious here, I the Death Star would explode, it would cause a Praxis effect from its trench. Sorry, a little off topic rant.

Props to stefcuk.
Thank you so much for this.
I hadn't remembered these existed until now and a quick google search provided me with the full ESB and ROTJ scans. I loved them so much.

LOL!---Regarding RAH's restoration of the Godfather---------Francis Ford Coppola admitted he could not even remember how the film looked in it's original theatrical release.
Yet an anonymouse internet poster claims he can remember how "brilliant " Star Wars looked(over 25 years ago!).
I saw Star wars twice theatrically(1981 and 1983) and I cannot remember one way or the other in 2011 wether the prints I saw were vibrant or dull or dirty or clean.
I'll stick with that 1982 VHS for reference for the time being.

Hey AluminumFalcon-
Which broadcast is the Vader/Luke scene from Empire taken from?
-e
It was taken from the G'Kar DVD. I'm not sure where you can find it online anymore but it has the 1997 Special Edition. It's German with English Audio and has smearing.

Ahem... regarding the restoration of the Godfather, they referenced a technicolor print. And in case you're not sure what a technicolor print is, it's basically a dye transfer process in which the colors never fade. So they knew exactly how the colors were supposed to look.

It is thanks to this same technology that we all know what Star Wars is supposed to look like. Five technicolor prints were made of Star Wars, and one of which was shown in a public screening a couple years ago. People took photos and videos of the screening, which has helped us immensely in determining the exact colors of the original screenings.

That is an excellent article--- thanks for posting it.
Although I was refering to the actual special feature in the Godfather trilogy boxset where Coppola states that he could not remember what the film looked like during it's original theatrical run.
I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

Let me just say one thing: Lucas wears a "Han shot first" t-shirt.
You think he's ignorant to the "NOooo" hate?
I hope that his revenue is severely dented if he doesn't sell as many as he hoped to.

Don't know if this came up in the past 20 pages or so but it puts the "Noooo" argument in a whole new light...
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

Do you really think Coppola meant that in the same way at all?
Really?

Hmm, totally misses the point about preserving important films. Makes it seems like it's all about our childhoods, which makes us seem a bit - er - childish.

It can only be attributable to human error.
Forgive me this has already been noted but dvdactive updated their list of 2004 changes to include the 2011 Blu-ray release and I just had to point out the use to the name 'Humdinger' glitch.

"Well here's a big bag of rock salt" - Patton Oswalt
I think George makes changes to the films to piss people off, and at the end of the day, he sits in his cathedral of a living room and watches the originals in pristine condition while swimming in money.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

It's like poking someone with a stick, pissing someone off hasn't been so much fun.
