These R2 rock additions are cracking me up. The rocks never change, even if the angle on R2 changes.
It's so bad it's almost good.
How many articles is this now? I've lost count. And they are all negative. They should all be forwarded to Lucasfilm/Fox.
Might be time for a new Wookie Groomer split screen!

There is nothing wrong with any of the changes.... EXCEPT that he is doing them in the context of there being no decent release of the theatrical versions. The academy-award-winning editing and special effects are being replaced by CGI 30+ years later, which is a travesty of destruction of a major artistic/cultural and historical icon. If he would also restore the theatrical version, I'd have no complaints if he wants to make a "better" version too.
Yuuuup
The bonus features are the main selling point for this release. The deleted scenes alone are enough to make it a big seller. People have waited for years for deleted scenes. And Lucas knows this.
What was the quote from Lucasfilm about the "Noooo" fitting in with the saga... blah blah blah....?
Saga meaning movies 1-6? Does that mean if you buy the original trilogy only you don't get the "Noooo"? I kid of course. I can't find the quote, but if I don't want the entire saga, and just the OT, why do I have to get all the saga tie-ins too. Seriously, why can't we just have a choice?

Not something new for you guys but its nice that gets more publicity
read George Lucas’ passionate words against George Lucas.

"A copyright is held in trust by its owner until it ultimately reverts to public domain. American works of art belong to the American public; they are part of our cultural history.
People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society."
The one star reviews have now passed the five star reviews at Amazon.com. They are equal at Amazon.ca. I hope this trend keeps going, maybe someone will finally realize what they're doing to these movies and the fans. And I love all the negative feeback from sites reporting this.
I actually had hope for this set and was 99% sure I was going to buy it. Now? Save my 99 bucks and download the deleted scenes.
George does love his cyan ;)
Perhaps George's eyes aren't what they used to be (colour deficiency)and he see's it as correct.

In that case the sticker idea is great.
Bumper sticker or box sticker?
Both! The more the better. It doesn't have to be stuck on the blu-ray boxes, although that is ideal, but just "high traffic" locations. Bus stops, train stations, public bathrooms, etc.
Is the main goal here to "educate" the public or or to send a message to Lucasfilm? If you want to send a message to Lucasfilm, then the best thing to do would be to flood them with complaints. Phone calls, emails, and blu-ray returns. The problem is getting enough people to do it. On the other hand, how many people are going to buy this thinking it is the original trilogy, but not realizing or not caring. In that case the sticker idea is great.
Thanks for the info... I was wondering why I was having trouble. Anyway, good luck with the re-authoring. When completed I will DL again and test 'em out.
I wasn't being serious guys. I was mearly going along with the typical Luca$ "bashing" that goes on. Of course he has the right to shut this down. It's a public viewing without permission, duh! What was that guy thinking?
(sarcasm) If Lucas can't profit from it, he won't allow it. (sarcasm)

My player (sony) supports AVCHD files, but burning the image file didn't work for me. I had to extract the ISO and just burn the file itself. Played no problem. Didn't have to do any coversion.
Thanks for this BTW, they look great!
This is a great thread! I wish I could share some of my collection with you guys, but I had to box it all up to keep it safe from my three-year-old!
I've been collecting on and off since 1978 when the fist toys came out.
Nice, thanks!

I'll try to post some screencaps whenever I can (hopefully sometime tonight or tomorrow). Unfortunately, once this project was completed, I deleted everything but the most essential backup files, which included the raw, compressed H264 files. I'll have to see if I can extract them from the final ISOs when I get the chance.
But, the screengrabs on post #17 of this topic do accurately reflect the new color timing.
Great thanks!
Looking forward to seeing this. I really liked the Rebellion Collection. How do these compare? Can you post screen caps?
John Williams' score. That has remained consistant throughout.
Watching it with my son right now. He can't take his eyes off the screen!

Dolt how could I forget playing ESB on the Atari. Went to friends homes many a day to watch Walkers change colors.
Of course! Forgot that one too. I still have it with my Atari 2600. I wonder if it still works?
How could I forget Super Star Wars! I used to play all the way to the end without dying on the Jedi difficulty level. Wonder if I still can do that? Time to pull out the SuperNES!
