I went through that site shortly after seeing TFA just out of curiosity, and I was shocked to find out just how much of the movie had been leaked. He posted a pretty detailed description of the Han death scene in February of 2015 and then by May, they had pieced together almost the entire plot with descriptions of all the key scenes.
This gives me hope…
In all seriousness though, I can’t figure what else that could mean besides a new home video product and/or a wide theatrical release.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. That could mean anything, such as a surprise appearance from George Lucas, or something like that…
@ Fang Zei
I remember watching her Interview via Youtube Celebration Stream in 2015. She said they know that there’re things the fans want but they cannot do it/them right now. Very sure those were her words.
Hmm, I don’t think I ever saw that. I’ll see if I can find it…
Rian Johnson is also not a fan of the SE’s. When the blu Rays were released in 2011 he asked on his Twitter feed if they were releasing the “actual original movies” or the “90’s cartoon versions”
Kevin Smith tweeted that Rogue One is “Empire Strikes Back great”.
That could be B.S. but its a hell of claim to be making flippantly.
Kevin smith also heavily praised TPM & AOTC, and he said that ROTS was “quite simply, f—ing awesome,” so…
Just to put in my two cents. I watched the Technicolor version sample that you posted and found the contrast and saturation levels to be pretty jarring. Watching it just did not feel right to me and I thought 3po was too vibrant and there was too much detail lost in the blacks. Would much prefer one of the compromise versions that you posted earlier
Here’s an update on the color grading to remove the remaining green/yellow cast:
DrDre, everything looks pretty great so far, although I was wondering about this shot. Most of the stars here appear to be crushed out. Is that just a by-product of the degraining process? The star field is slightly more visible on the non-DNR video sample, although it is still not as visible as the Silver Screen Edition, just for comparison, so I was also curious if perhaps the contrast needs to be dialed back a bit.
I know this is still a work in progress, so again, just wondering…
Thanks!

This is, without a doubt, the best French Star Wars Disco Ballet I’ve ever seen.

And I don’t even know what to say about this commercial other than that it’s Japanese and most likely not authorized by Lucasfilm;
Japanese Tuna TV commercial from 1978
Star Wars Tuna? I’d eat it!
Or you could just not show them awful movies like the prequels. There are plenty of great movies that have been made over the years, so why show them crap?
My scale goes to 11.
Awesome Underoos commercial from early 80’s.

This is pretty awesome. ILM did a SW Concept Art Challenge to find new artists to work with. They had each artist complete a series of assignments over a period of time.
Click on each of the images on the homepage and you can see all of the submissions from each artist.
The last thing he said back in April was simply that the screening/pitch was “slowly moving up the chain.”
But he’s been quiet for the last 3 months, so I am REALLY anxious at the moment for any kind of news.
I guess i missed something, but I’m still confused exactly why -1 or rogue1, or whoever they are, is opposed to this being released?
Man, this is very depressing. First Poita and now this…
We’ll start a new thread for the Eastman vs Technicolor version when we are ready to discuss more about it.
Team Negative1
Right - we have to finish the LPP first!
Edit: But I will add one more teaser, just for the OT crowd.
This video was produced using this technique (plus a little post processing to clean it up a little more), and it only took about a week… It has not been color corrected.
Ok, this just got me excited, and I was already pleased with the first release. Looks great!
To everyone at Team Negative1 who worked on this, THANK YOU! I’m watching it now and I’m very impressed with the quality. As Harmy already stated, it feels completely authentic and I feel like I’m watching Star Wars for the first time since I was a kid. Well done.
Is anyone else concerned that apparently the reason why the reason they are already narrowing down the casting is for a cameo in Rogue One? I don’t see where Han Solo would fit into a story revolving around stealing the Death Star plans.
I think one way it could work if it were just some sort of post credits scene where we see the Falcon approaching Tatooine and Han talking to Chewy about the shipment they just had drop and trying to figure out how they were going to pay back Jabba who would surely have bounty on him by now. It could then show them deciding to head to Mos Eisley to hopefully find some work. That would actually be kind of a cool lead up to the OT and as a post credits scene it wouldn’t feel shoehorned into the movie.
Yep, but that’s what you get with Disney. They cross market everything and try to tie every single movie together by shoehorning in characters and plot points to help promote their next giant blockbuster. The actual story and quality of the films will always take a backseat to their marketing timeline.
I'm a big fan of Struzan, but it would also be cool to see a new poster from some of the other original artists - Tom Jung, Roger Kastel, etc.
yep, you're right. the new registrant of that domain is HIROSHI ISHIURA.
Weird...
*edit - nope, he doesn't own the domain anymore. Picked up by someone in Japan in May.
I'm going to try to stay away from the trailer. I've been trying to avoid spoilers but i already know much more than I'd like.
And I dont understand the people who have been trying to learn as much as they can about the story. I've found that it's always best to go into a movie knowing as little as possible so you can just simply let the story unfold on its own.
It's going to be hard enough to watch this movie without being constantly distracted that I'm watching a "star wars" movie and scrutinizing every little detail about it....
For some reason I had my hopes up for an UOT release this fall. So much for that. Instead of releasing the original movies that started it all, they give us... new packaging?
Wow, thanks.
