Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) — Page 278

Would that have been a bad thing?

Ady whats the quality like on the lost 20 scene for the prequels is it good enough to re-insert into Episode 2? There any other decent deleted scenes which could be put back in that weren't already known? I suppose the other question is the bridge control ship attack salvageable, or would it be too much work to restore? - Really don't know why they didnt have that in, considering some of the crap Lucas put us through in the PT - "SAND".

Is this the version where a (soon old enough) Ewan McGregor has been superimposed over all the scenes in which Sir Alec Guinness appeared in the Original Trilogy?

Or do we have to wait a few more years and watch even more differing versions of the films before Lucas can realise his 'true vision' for his films?

(half jokingly - I wouldn't put it past him...)

Not very good at all. In fact i can't see how any of the prequels deleted scenes could be used in an edit without a very noticable drop in quality. here is the lost 20 scene, although they never talk about anything apart from a brief bit about Dooku. In motion this scene looks 100 times worse

the battle of geonosis looks absolutely terrible, everything looks fake. the actors look so far removed from their digital surroundings that it just yanks you right out of the movie. Space Jam looks better!

The prequels have always looked that bad =) I thought the same thing when I saw 2 and 3 on the big screen (and even when I saw 1 on the little screen).

On a side note, Darth Maul as Grievous would've been hardcore.

*sigh* Thanks for the quick reply, considering Vader's fall later, you'd of thought this scene would of made sense to have, in terms of discussing Jedi who had left the order... Yeah that doesn't look great at all, I'm thinking at this point I may just get the Phantom Menace blue ray, and forget the rest! (CGI Yoda has to be better than that puppet in TPM).

What is this, someone tried to insert actual human emotion into the Battle of Endor? I can see why it was cut!

But seriously, THIS is the kind of crap I love, that not all Imperials are mass murdering psychopaths.

 

It is a great scene

So, someone at MF.com posted a frame of the Fett cartoon from the Holiday Special. Anyone find it?

Hello, Cuchulainn, I'd like to welcome you and all the other newcomers (love the signature pics, Promus) to OT.com. I believe you'll enjoy this place! :-) 

The screencaps of the Emperor's guards brandishing their pikes at Vader - what scene is that from?!? It looks REALLY interesting!! Awesome to see the guards with their force pikes ready to strike. And it's nice to see that Koo Stark's scenes are featured (since I'm somewhat of a fanboy of hers).

As for the Darth Maul as Grievous thing...although I think it doesn't matter because the prequels aren't canon anyways, it would have added much-needed dramatic and emotional depth to Grievous' character (because otherwise he just comes out of nowhere), ESPECIALLY for Obi-Wan. Not to mention Grievous is supposed to be a "precursor" of sorts to Vader's cybernetics...and Palpatine bringing back both of his apprentices with cybernetics would be an interesting recurring theme. I remember some comic somewhere that showed a cybernetic Maul, and he had legs similar to Grievous...maybe his design was based on early concept drawings for Grievous/Resurrected Maul?

Grievous = Maul is certainly something for faneditors & animators to consider completing.

Really they should never have killed Maul in the first place and had him in the General's role.

If they hadn't killed Maul, we wouldn't get Christopher Lee as a Sith Lord.

As much as I love Lee, his character really didn't get to do much, and got shafted in III. he could've easily done the same things in II as a simple rogue Jedi. You could've even merely had Maul skip an episode or support Dooku.

Precisely why I like it.

True. I was shocked for the way he was shafted so quickly in RotS.

I can't wait for more "SW on blu, come on!" nonsense.

...but also would have been redundant. Obi-Wan kills Maul. Maul comes back as half man/machine. Obi-wan kills Anakin, dito.
