I've got family and friends who are foaming at their mouths for this set, so I will eventually see what I am missing.
The stubborn shall falter far before they swallow pride.
Everything in ANH and ESB was memorable, including a good deal of ROTJ.
That is one of the problems with the prequels, there wasn't any moments that sucked me in.
ANH and ESB were such great pieces of art, and each scene can be enjoyed on their own. Even people who haven't seen them before know some of the imagery, because it stays with you. You have to have seen the prequels a few times to remember much about them.
Star Wars used to be a thing that everybody knew about and it was instilled in our culture. Star Wars wasn't a movie, it was an experience.
Even ROTJ had those moments of awe that you could take with you and tell your friends about it.

Does anyone know if anything on the ESB blue-rays that would assist Adywan in this edit?
One of the reasons ESBR isn't coming out sooner, because Ady is waiting to see what will be on the Blu-Rays.

Life is like that ESF.
Like when I lost my sight, my other senses picked up the slack and I developed this radar-like sense which I use to fight crime dressed in red spandex. And did I mention the cane that I use to knock out the criminal's teeth? That'll learn 'em.
I wondered what happened to you. Come back to us Ben Affleck!!
Jar Jar Binx is gonna be the sh*t in HD!!!
I had a lot more to say when I couldn't say it...

Hey, welcome back!
Theme song to Welcome Back, Kotter ;-)
Thanks, Hush- Deep Purple is randomly playing, if I dare change the station, Richie Blackmore will jump out of my speakers and bash me with his guitar.
Angel had a lot of interesting colour ideas for AOTC back in the day:

It really gives the ground that classic Tatooine look. Least I think so.
Thank you, that's what I was going for.

Good stuff Eye. The arena shots look 10X better.
I think the orange made me hate the movie more than the bad dialogue LOL!!
ESB was the reason I love Star Wars, so I have to go with the Asteroid Chase.
You have a wonderful score, wonderful action, great dialogue, wonderful effects, and more tension than any scene in the whole saga. It is wonderful.
Didn't one of our own promise audio remastering and enhancements to the tinny audio? Seems like I remember something about it, it was a while back.

If anything, if the 2011 set bombs financially, it will be incentive that the only way to make money off of SW is to release the originals.
More people are protesting these than the 2004 set, but it really doesn't matter. The Lucas faithful will buy them up just for the fact that they say Star Wars on them.
I've been trying my best lately to get Angel results without as much work. It looks fairly good, the sabers are bad, but I have never been very good with them. 005 is the only one who has seen this so far.
I think the colouring is ok, it could have been better, but I didn't use an HD source.
{Forgive the space at the top, I will fix it in a bit}
Been fooling around with Genosis while I have been gone and have gotten great results. It helped to actually use a colour wheel for help on this one. All the images have the same exact settings, so it can be done in motion.
I just wish the actual clone battle could look as good as the arena battle.
{I'm also posting this in the prequel thread}
Adding a cyan filter with brightness and contrast changes made a huge difference in the arena scenes. It didn't do much in the clone battle though. This is really the best it can look without resorting to rotoscoping.
In some places the removal of orange was wonderful, in others it was better to keep it in. I just wanted to see if I could do it in a few simple steps.

I'm done, no need to bother arguing with the closed minded.

That's such a brilliantly obvious and logical idea,
Is it? From what I recall, C-3PO was built to help Shmi at home, not at the shop. And R2-D2 belonged to the Queen's Ship, where he was indeed useful. This is a perfect example of searching nits to pick. That's why his reviews are all BS.
How the hell was C3PO supposed to help a slave? She didn't exactly seem like she was in the line of work that would require a snooty robot that translates. C3PO would be more useful for somebody important, who goes across the stars speaking to creatures with bizarre languages, like pamadalan.
Have you even seen Star Wars? The versions I most remember involved C3PO whining and complaining every time anything happened. The only time he was ever useful was as a translator.
I think the only droid Shmi needed was a Gonk droid, because it looks like it can get the job done on those lonely nights.
The guy is so warped, I wouldn't be shocked if it was written, or prodded, by Lucas himself. That's all Lucas has to say about those shitty films, "They mirror each other like poetry, it's stylistic and bold."
Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul F***ing McCartney.
I gave my 18 month old niece a corduroy teddy bear, and a chocolate walrus. She ate the whole thing, and loved her teddy bear to death.
