I appreciate all the citations posted thus far, but can someone link me to where I can find info on Disney requesting an archival print of Star Wars from the Library of Congress?

LOC made a scan. I think the “at the request of lucasfilm” is based on insider info from one forum or another.

The exchange between the two is amazing and I would have loved to see Krennic try to bring Galen to his side of thinking in a couple of flashback scenes. This also could have given the film more time to develop Galen as a character so that his death would be more impactful.

Definitely recommend Catalyst, Krennic is the best part of the book.

Never read a Star Wars novel, except 1/4 of Plaguies which I gave up on. But I might pick this up once it’s out in paperback.

Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?

Sony finally lost the license and Disney records put them out as soon as they could so they could get that money. Nothing remotely pertaining to the release of the OOT here.

Is it not significant which version they chose to put out? As far as I can tell, there is no © Lucasfilm version of the SE soundtrack just released.

Maybe, but I hope that the OUT won’t be only available on 4K UHD discs. I don’t have a player.

I wouldn’t expect any feature content to be available exclusively on UHD.

I don’t have a player either, but I would buy a BD/UHD combo pack over a BD-only or BD/DVD pack in a heartbeat to future proof it in case LF decides to fuck us over again.

Probably jumping the gun here, but if LF/2oth C. Fox do indeed plan on a home video release of the OT this year (edit: OUT or otherwise–the latter would be valuable for preservation efforts), what are the chances it will be available in the UHD BD format? I know Disney doesn’t yet support the format, but Fox seems to be pushing it pretty hard (especially with the sci-fi/action genre). As this would be a “distributed by 2oth C. Fox” release, might we see it released in 4K for home media?

EDIT: Then again, I think that this entire forum is overly concerned with color correction. I think I might be in the minority there, though.

I’m with you.

Yeah, what kind of loser obsesses over the exact hue of the Death Star control panel lights?
I mean really, nobody cares!

I care about obvious shit like Hoth being blue or Vader’s lightsaber being pink, but half the time I see before and after pics here and they look nearly identical.

The sky being 0.02% too blue in one shot does not bother me in the slightest.

Yup

Here’s something weird.

New soundtracks on iTunes, copyright Lucasfilm 2017. Have artwork that matches the digital movie download art, but are OUT track listings:

Star Wars
Empire
Jedi

Also note they use the new preferred naming conventions, dropping the episode number from the title.

iTunes also offers the OUT soundtracks with original art, but they are copyright '77, '80, and '04 (weird, I know)

Edit: also, no mention of Sony in the copyright garble as is the case with the older versions.
Edit2: there are also new versions for the PT, but with the same track listing, just different art. Both remain available on iTunes.

A thought just occurred to me. If the OOT is released, would they put the “Legends” banner on it and stick with the SE’s as canon?

Is there anything in OUT that conflicts with “official” canon?

Besides, despite all the shit we’ve endured, I’d trust Lucasfilm not to tarnish their masterpieces with silly banners like that.
