Well, colour me impressed! Looking forward to this release - didn’t think it was happening!
Looks very nice. Any samples from Ben’s hut?
Some effort went into improving this scene!
Now that DOES look far better.
Maybe you set it up wrong. Like using the Photo Paper setting to print on card.
This whole thing hurts my brain!
Han screams as he falls to his death.
‘Star Wars Kinect’ has got to be pretty high up on the list for that Han Solo dancing game…
As it was the last full game published by Lucasarts before the Disney acquisition just a few months later, the suspicion has to be that GL’s thinking behind the project was “I give zero f**ks about how far this franchise is scraping the barrel right now”.
Seconded. Just… why?
What’s the cover of the screener look like anyway?
Oh yes, so I see from the earlier comparison image.
What does “canon” mean in this case?
Isn’t the VHS uncropped?
Fair point, very fair. The difference between mono and stereo is one thing, but I’d think it excusable to present a downmix for home video. I don’t think Dolby Atmos has even reached our homes yet, has it?
I’m assuming it’ll be done by the end of the year.
Oh no, they changed the sound mix? There’s always something, isn’t there?
I don’t know why people are surprised… Sound mixes are always remixed for home cinemas on Bluray.
Maybe they retained it for the 4K version.
Oh no, they changed the sound mix? There’s always something, isn’t there?
I have yet to sit down and watch my Blu-ray, but I’m pretty disappointed that the BD lacks the theatrical Dolby Atmos mix. Did anyone here see it in Atmos? None of the theaters near me are set up for Atmos (other than my home theater 😉).
I did, if my memory serves me correctly. I don’t remember the details because I only watched it the once, but I’m sure I saw it in Atmos. I distinctly recall certain effects emitting from the far corners of the theatre.
What’s the asking price?
Someone had scanned all the contents of the Executor box and it included those. I don’t remember which thread it was but it wasn’t that long ago, less than a year.
Yeah, it was me. It’s on imgur now.
If necessary, I can chip in my weekly benefits until it’s all paid for.
1/4 of the way? That’s hardly very far!
Well, Poita did say it was complete!
If this preservation gets completed, I’ll give every one of you a Nobel prize!! Millions will thank you for this accomplishment, for not even Disney themselves could possibly grant us such a milestone achievement!
Bloody hell! Is that still going onward?!
Yeah, I think I went a little off-track there.
Well I don’t refer to it by Episode IV, I just call it “A New Hope” when I do.
Is it just me, or does 2.7 have more artifacts than 2.5? Like at 42:22-42:26 as Obi-Wan moves his head the artifacts around it are visible and move as well. But again, it could have also been his way in 2.5, I don’t have a copy right now so I could’nt verify it.
Otherwise, especially color-wise, I see a huge improvement. Awesome work!I have no problems with people pointing out stuff like this. But I would request that people do please try to make the comparison before bringing it up, just to make sure that we can focus discussion on things that are definitely occurring. There are a bit of artifacts in this shot for both versions. Overall, I do not think 2.7 has more throughout the film since it was made from the same master using the same settings. But yeah, as far as blu-ray shots, those artifacts you point out are the most noticeable in the entire film for me and I’ve seen them in a variety of different encodes. I don’t know if it’s a matter of the VBR being low for the very low-movement shot and then needing to rapidly ramp up for the wipe or what.
I haven’t noticed anything watching that shot.
A few months ago, Caddicarus released an episode of “Caddy’s Film Fridays” in which his girlfriend’s daughters answered questions about Star Wars. Unfortunately I’m convinced they were exposed to the Special Edition, and that makes me sad. 😦 Caddy even refers to the film as “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope”! Mind you… it’s not like he had a choice, did he?..
