After doing ANH and now ESB i'm even more convinced that the blue tint was added to hide the restoration problems where some scenes are devoid of almost all colouring. Look at this shot on the Executor bridge. All colouring apart from blue is missing. No skin tones and no red lights anywhere can be seen on the 2004 DVD shot.

I remember hearing about Robert A. Harris' restoration of "Vertigo," where some scenes' color information had been lost entirely, so using other prints as a guide, he colorized the negative to as close as was humanly possible recreate the original colors. Looks like Lowry decided to go the less-intensive route on similar shots in the OT.

Your canon might be the PT, SE and entire EU. Someone else's might be PT and OOT.
It depends on how you look at it. The creators might have their own canon, but you *can* choose to ignore it if you wish.
To get this BACK ON TOPIC:
Has anyone gotten the new 'Lawrence of Arabia' 2-disc CE? Is it the inferior transfer from the old LE release, or the Superbit transfer supervised by Robert A. Harris, or a new one entirely? And when the hell will we get a Blu-Ray of this?

My questions are:
1) What order should I watch the episodes in? I've found at least 5 or 6 different variations preferred by different people.
2) Should I watch the aired versions of "The Arrival" and "The Chimes of Big Ben," or the "original versions" of said episodes? The set I got from the library has both for each.
Any help would be appreciated - I want to get into this show, but I want to watch it properly.

Again, if anyone would be willing to send a copy of the DVD-9 my way I'd be glad to PIF to anyone else who wants it.

PAL is the TV format for the UK and most of Europe - it's 25 frames per second and a little bigger image size-wise than the American standard, which is NTSC and is 29.97 frames per second (though NTSC DVDs are usually 23.976 fps, which is 0.1% slower than film's 24 fps, for TVs that can display progressive scan rather than interlaced).
Basically, if you didn't understand anything in that last paragraph, if you live in the US, download NTSC. If you live in the UK or Australia etc, you really can download either one, but you probably should download the PAL version.

What you did in the cantina, though, is absolutely astounding. Wonderful work here. But be careful - I don't think this needs to be done for Yoda in ESB/ROTJ at *all*. If you do, please have restraint.

I'd also vote for either keeping Shaw as a ghost at the end, or a meld of Hayden and Shaw like someone suggested (but more Shaw-like than Hayden-like). I could go either way on the eyebrows/eye recoloring in Anakin's death scene.
--edit--
I've been reading the 1981 rough draft of JEDI tonight, and I came across the description of the Sarlacc:
"The prisoners look down into the pit and see a disgusting mucus lined hole at the vortex of sand. Around the edge of the cavity are thousands of needle sharp teeth and four thin, ten foot long feelers that sweep across the sand looking for victims."
If you could revert the Sarlacc back to the pre-SE version, but make the four tentacles move around as described in the '81 script as if they're looking for prey, that would make the pit come to life in a decidedly non-campy way (that beak was atrocious).
I've also noted that the '81 script does NOT include Boba Fett anywhere in the script, which helps the case for cutting Fett out of JEDI entirely. There's also no musical number in Jabba's palace either - perhaps this could be cut to improve pacing as well? The Oolah falling into the pit scene (a pissed-off smuggler in the script) could still be intact - Jabba's watching dancers as music plays in the background (not the huge number that is in the movie now), and one tries to take advantage of his levity and chokes him, at which point he drops her in the pit (cut the added SE shots in the pit as well).

If you can mail one out, shoot me a PM, I'd be willing to pay for shipping and the cost of the DVD+DL if necessary, and many thanks in advance.

I think they should have stuck with 13-episode seasons, like the first. Five 13-episode seasons would probably have been more consistent than one 13 and three 20-episode ones. Eight less episodes total, but that's about how many bad/subpar ones there have been throughout the run of the show IMO.

Although it is only episode 4 of the season. I may be jumping the gun a bit.

Anyway, what's the deal with the podcast commentaries this season? I used to listen to them when I got antsy waiting for the next episode, but so far nothing this time. RDM hasn't given up on them, has he?

By the way, the Cylon numbers are as such (the last few became known in the first episode of this season):
Number 1 = Cavil
Number 2 = Leoben
Number 3 = D'Anna [boxed]
Number 4 = Simon [who we NEVER see]
Number 5 = Doral
Number 6 = Six [obvious]
Number 8 = Sharon
Numbers 7 and 9-12 are the Final Five. I'm guessing Tigh, Anders, Tyrol and Tory are 9-12, and the final cylon is 7, since the number 7 often has special meaning in religion and fiction.
Although I'm sure the real reason for the last of the "significant 7" being number 8 is that when they mentioned Sharon's number back in season 2, they hadn't had the whole "Significant Seven/Final Five" thing planned out to the degree they do now.

By the way, where did you get this "Ewok-less" ROTJ? I'm very curious about it ...
