I’ll probably buy the first Episode I-IX Complete Saga 4K + standard Blu-Ray set and ditch all my old discs after that, whether the OOT is included or not, if I’m honest with myself. Just to have everything in a nice matching set and be covered for all future fan projects, and the ST in 4K. But that would be my last OT purchase unless a restored OOT is released, and would definitely be my last PT purchase unless I’m forced to rebuy themb for an official restored OOT.

Oddly, I don’t think I’d buy said set if it included Rogue One and Solo. I’d rather have just the “Skywalker Saga” itself in a boxed set and have the standalone movies all separate.

Yeah, I’m not seeing any rough rotoscoping in the trooper shot myself.

I believe that is on the wishlist of a lot of editors, but no one’s been able to figure out how to do it seamlessly just yet.

Beautiful!

Voiced by Taika Waititi. “Hey min.”

1080p Blu-Ray copies would certainly be doable, but I don’t know of anyone (including the members of the 4K77 forums) who is capable of authoring and burning a 4K Blu-Ray that is playable in a standalone player. I for one put my 4K copies on a flash drive to plug directly into my TV and watch them through my TV’s built in media player software. Most UHD BR players are capable of this as well.

It’s heavily implied at least in ESB that Luke uses a hyperdrive on his X-wing to get to and from Dagobah and Bespin, isn’t it?

For an 8GB AVCHD, I’d say one 5.1 audio track at 1080p, or 5.1 and stereo tracks at 720p ( which would basically be a match to Despecialized’s AVCHDs). Burned in subs for both, soft subs for the full BD25/BD50.

Digital Bits has TFA and R1 coming out in 4K at the end of this year, and everything else (both in a saga boxed set and as individual releases) in “the first half of 2020”.

How reliable is this source?

Digital Bits is not very reliable at all.

Fixed that

How so? I’ve never known them to be anything but reliable, and they’re very good at clearly calling out rumors as such.

Wow, that’s absolutely fantastic work! I think I’m definitely sold on this interpretation of the ending now.

They should have deleted it and just included his name during the Imperial trainee scene. Which I guess goes for a lot of these weird annoying moments… they shelved half the movie but didn’t have any idea what actually worked.

I don’t think they really shelved all that much (just reshot).

Yeah, my understanding is that Lord and Miller were let go for straying too far from the Kasdans’ script and improvising too much, and Howard was brought in to bring the movie back on track (aka follow the script).

Han Han.

I’d assume any scene with subtitles at minimum, no? Since they’re hardsubs in AOTC.

It might have been a new master for TMP. It’s getting a theatrical re-release this year.

Ignore me, I misread which Star Trek movie.

Wow.

I’m fine with either theatrical-approximate hardsubs for TPM or softsubs. As long as they’re not the garish hardsubs from the first HDTV preservation I’ll be happy, as I’ll probably do my own theatrical-approximate hardsubs for TPM anyway if you do softsubs.

ANH and ROTJ I’m indifferent on, just because I can’t really see myself downloading those anyway.

You also seem to be looking at AOTC and Dooku through the lens of the entire PT. You can’t do that with TLJ and Snoke yet, since we don’t know how it’s all going to shake out in TROS.

Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing with this odd insistence that Anakin’s ghost MUST speak to Kylo on film at some point…?

Disregarding the TCW series, we didn’t get much in the prequels, and he was in Episode III for barely a few minutes before being de-handed and de-headed. If Sir Christopher Lee had not been cast, Dooku would be forgettable.

I don’t believe that you believe that Dooku and Snoke are equivelant.
Dooku is a character with a smaller role than Snoke, yet we learn more about him.

Dooku and Snoke are 100% comparable. And in 5 years you’ll probably be able to say the same thing about Snoke thanks to books and comics and TV shows - which is exactly how we know anything worthwhile about Dooku.

Yeah, that might have worked better.

No, last word was end of the year.

It’s early in the film, and it’s done similarly to the Godfather II scene where young Vito is given the name Corleone at Ellis Island.

I actually have the exact opposite opinion to yours about Solo being his last name, but it’s possible that my hatred of it is due to its execution in the film and not the idea itself. I’m not sure.

Hey, I just noticed the Photobucket logo isn’t there when looking at this thread on mobile. Cool.

As was pointed out when I made those, the thickness of the outlines in the letters is not uniform, which still bugs me. I tried a few things out back then, but the closest method I came up with ended up rounding the corners, too, which to me was worse than inconsistent line thicknesses.

I’m sure I could do better with these nowadays. Maybe I’ll give it another shot one night when I’m bored.

Wrong thread. In fact, wrong subforum altogether. https://originaltrilogy.com/discussion/Theatrical-Cuts-vs-Subsequent-Releases/id/4

But to answer your question, I’m about 50/50 on it - they’re a little inconsistently applied, but they generally look nice and seem more in line with the type of aesthetic Lando would have gone for. But I kinda liked the claustrophobic feel of the original version, which gives the whole place more of a “prison-like” feel which fits the story at that point (even before you’re consciously aware that it’s a trap). So, like I said, 50/50 for me.
