I agree with everything you said there, Density.

Not sure if it’s better, but it’s pretty close at the least.

Here’s him in another video (which will hopefully work for you too this time): https://youtu.be/yfvqh5fH20s?t=1498

OH MY GOD!!!

in addition to the rebel colors thought, Red Squadron was Blue Squadron in the novelization.

IMO, any film will look better with theatrical grain, color, and contrast. Grain and contrast are not faults, also. I would say that digital artifacts are faults.

You’ll have to break into the Disney Vault if you want them.

😄 I’m sorry to contradict you, but it was surpassed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYttq0AeyKg&feature=youtu.be&t=468 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYttq0AeyKg&feature=youtu.be&t=660

I clicked those links and got “this video is not available” for both.

We all know the truth now, and that’s what matters.

Were you responding to me here, or just to everyone in general? As I said, I’ve already read those posts.

Well now you do.

Read update #2 in the OP.

I read the post in the Legacy thread just before I came back here and saw this reply. Yes, now I do. What’s wrong with Negative1?!?!

Thanks for what you’ve given this community, Poita. Best of luck, and may God bless you and your family.

Watch Barry Lyndon. That will show you the light.

Obi-Wan vs Vader was basically two old men hitting with sticks.

So, because they weren’t being flashy, it’s now a horrible fight? Because that’s what a sword duel is about, entertaining an audience with flashy tricks and spins.

I believe that they were redone to remove an error in the model, where one piece of it intersected with another. CG problems that wouldn’t happen with a puppet.

A couple of the lightsaber duels

None of the lightsaber duels were any good.

If so then all of the duels in the OT were utter garbage…

No, they weren’t. Regardless of story, the OT duels were designed like real sword duels, while the PT duels were ballets. They weren’t fighting how real sword masters would fight. The “styles” exercised had so many wholes in them you can hardly count. The OT duels were choreographed by a swordplay expert, to look like real sword fights. Even Vader was played by Bob Anderson for all of his stunts in ESB and ROTJ. So he was actually sword fighting. He also personally trained Mark Hamill for the sequels. I can definitely forgive Ben’s awkward spin when comparing it to the PT duels.

Well that’s bad news!

Well that’s good news! I wish the members that are continuing work much luck.

Pot-head hippy Yoda. This is what he looked like when he was even younger than the TPM puppet.

“Hey, man, like, the force, dude. Make it your ally, and you’ll be, like, totally righteous, dude. Don’t go to the dark side, it’s so totally bogus, man.”

^I second this. Also, they didn’t even finish the preservation project. There’s still a ton of stuff to be done to the SSE for it to be considered “finished”, the same goes for ESB Grindhouse, and they didn’t even do ROTJ. We want the Tech finished! Who’s gonna do it without the team?

Kind of like CGI Yoda in the TPM Blu-ray, to be honest. Puppet Yoda may have been creepy, but he wasn’t from the Uncanny Valley.

Yeah, even though the TPM puppet didn’t look like OT Yoda, and it was a little creepy, CGI Yoda didn’t look like OT Yoda either, and was equally creepy at times. I mean, he constantly has his head down, with his eyes looking up at everyone. Why can’t he lift his head up a little bit? Look at the people you’re talking to with your mannerisms, not just your eyes, freak.

It kind of reminds me of this guy:

EDIT: What happened to my image of puppet Yoda?!?! Fixed.

None of the lightsaber duels were any good. They were cheap entertainment without meaning or reality. They all suffer from being too well choreographed. What ever happened to having the duels set up by an actual expert in swordplay?

Worlds like [Waterfall City], Coruscant and Kamino are beautiful and make the universe feel much larger than it is in the OT

I don’t have much against the designs per-say, but all of these places look so fake and are so full of crap that it’s hard to call them beautiful.

…but the OUT had the Wolfman so…

Not a bad thing.

I guess I have no reason not to believe them. Sorry. The announcement is also signed Rogue1 at the bottom.

Did TN1 give any reasons as to why they disbanded anywhere? I mean, everything they did was legal.

Not even close to being true.

Sorry, I didn’t mean that kind of legal. In the TheStarWarsTrilogy.com announcement, it was stated that they didn’t acquire any sources or scans illegally.

Did TN1 give any specific reasons as to why they disbanded anywhere? I mean, everything they did was legal. They weren’t going to get in trouble just because they were a team effort. Now I’m afraid that I’ll never see the Technicolor release or the '97 SE release.
