Official Trailer shows evidence of the same flaws as the 2004 edition... color me (pun intended) unimpressed.

 

Place your bets now on how many times the discs will be re-released!

We must remember the 1997 footage on the 1st 2004 DVD's trailer.

But yes, I find it unlikely that they will fix any colour issue. I shall wait for more info about it before I buy anything.

Actually, I don't remember this. Got a link handy?

(All I recall are a few news programs covering the new release and using old footage (ie: the '97 jabba) probably since they didn't obtain any of the new footage in time... but not official ads.)

Here.

Interesting Tidbit from lucas before episode 1 started filming that gave a hint that the pt films were not given the care needed to be great

And also, compared to some wealthy folks on this planet, I don't think he's entirely deserving of his money-grabbing tag -  http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/08/05/george-lucas-to-donate-half-his-money/

That usually comes up when there's a lack of argument against him.

I thought he already had ventress so much for the rule of two.  And if he had an apprentice why is he not mentioned in episode III.

Tha last episode that was shown on British TV had Sidious order Dooku to destroy Ventress because she became to powerful.

So, at that point she was no longer his apprentice, so the rule of two still stands!!

Of course it does, and the episode itself deals with the whole rule of two, but skyjedi prefers to ignore that and complain with strawmen arguments.

I haven't been here for a while, but I'll say this much...I saw the blu-ray trailer on YouTube and the colors of the lightsabers that cross the Emperor's face in Jedi are still DVD-esque. i.e. They don't have the white-light center.

Assuming the footage in the trailer is from the blu-ray footage than it's nice to see we have another botched release.  Damn you LucasFilm.

We've all got there. The problem is that we still don't know if that's the footage from the Blu-rays.

Probably because something happens in between? Is this so hard to see?

  It is as stupid as making Anakin a Jedi master with an apprentice in Ahsoka who is also not in episode III.

When was Anakin made a Master? He doesn't even achieve such rank in RotS.

If the Clone Wars series is not merely EU and is G-canon why does Lucas insist on keep destroying his own canon.

Where has he destroyed his own canon?

So much for a grand vision he is clearly making it up as he goes.

But Savage Oppress was a part of his original vision, right because its not fanwankery because fanboys whined about the death of Darth Maul.

I could care less if it's his original vision or not. This arc is being most entertaining.

Oh god do I really have to read through 108 pages of prequel apologist mumbo jumbo?

There's two main things I got from RLM's reviews:

1. He's a comedic reviewer. As such, he exaggerates his viewpoints for comedic effect. This is to be expected, guys like Nostalgia Critic do this too.

2. None of his nitpicks would matter at all if the story was better written, the films better directed, and if the characters were better acted and more compelling. This was made pretty clear by the end of his Ep3 review.

I started reading it, and it's actually very interesting. And way more bearable than that monotone voice of Plinkett.

And he adresses those excuses, too.

your impressions before the PT films about yoda and palpatine

Well, I happen to read the RotJ novel, and therefore I knew they were familiar with each other.

Prequel films ? There are only 3 star wars movies just like only 3 Indiana Jones movies.  Never heard of these pathetically bad films but they must exist in a parallel reality called bizarro world where the director went pants shitting crazy.
