For a few reasons. It would involve a sloppy transition to remove mention of Luke's father, with R2 lurching up. It also begs the question why Luke and Biggs didn't recognize each other in the briefing. It's really just about preference, but that's part of what informs mine.
"Star Wars: Redone" makes it sound like the movies are finished forever. Since they're making more, I'd suggest calling your project "Star Wars: Redid."
These new comics haven't struck me as very funny so far. I only laughed a few times.
I'm glad things lined up for me to A) Happen to hear that a livestream of the panel was about to start, and B) Be in a position to sit down and enjoy it.
It was pretty fun! I'll be watching the teaser tonight when I'll be in front of my TV, not a YouTube stream.
I forgot about Celebration starting today, but happened to have the chance to sit down and watch the panel livestream. I thought it was a lot of fun! I clicked away when they said they were going to play the teaser. I'll wait until tonight when I can download it from a high quality source and play it on my TV properly, rather than hunched over a 240p video on my decrepit laptop. Looking forward to it!
The needle on the torture droid Vader uses on Leia always seemed mundane for a space movie, to me. What about adding some sparks coming out of the top, and replacing the needle with something like a flamethrower?
Can Luke's last name be changed to Lars? It seems silly to hide him and keep his last name.
Seems like the deleted scenes are presented in thoroughly lackluster 480p. Someone who bought the set describes them as looking identical, going so far as to say he would not be surprised in they were ripped right from the commercial DVDs.

A YouTube channel (Almost) entirely devoted to creating animated clips of Chris Pine's face saying lines from Star Wars. As things go, that's pretty damn random. Curses, it's 3 years old, I want more of these.
What is this I don't even
No luck. A TF.N user reports all legacy content is presented in SD. No word on how it compares to the DVD in terms of gritty detail, but fundamentally the same.
A user at TF.N reports that all legacy content is presented in plain ol' SD. No word on how it compare to the DVD in terms of gritty, nitpicky detail.
Sometimes I wonder why I even try.
Sorry, I took "were" to imply maybe they're not. And I'm hoping at the very least it's a better encode from the SD master.

I could justify the purchase if the deleted scenes were HD, since I wouldn't know whether the mixes match till I go through the multi-step phase cancelation.
Are you waiting to find out, or do you know they're SD?
Is anyone in a position yet to report back on this?
Psst. Uh... guys? Hi, um.
Them PT deleted scenes? :P
I was about to retract my question once I found out they were talking about the description, not the product itself.
Any details about the presentation of the deleted scenes?
Even if the PT deleted scenes are only included in the new digital release in SD, it might be a superior source to the retail DVDs if it's from a master instead of literally from the DVD. Even if they aren't HD, I bet this upscaling method would yield great results for use in fan edits.
I would think Lucasfilm's SD master for the deleted scenes would at least be better than the reencode that got put on DVD. Y'know?

Would love to see Hal9000's edits with HD deleted scenes.
You bet, if they're going to be available. Adywan's words are a little discouraging. But we'll find out in a few days.
I'be got my fingers crossed for the PT deleted scenes from the DVD to appear in HD. They're listed under "legacy content," but hopefully sourced from a master and not just literally from the DVD.
I wonder if there's any possibility of seeing HD versions of the PT deleted scenes as part of the bonus material.
I'd be interested in scene 2; I've always felt it was the incorrect music.
I tried that approach once, but the results don't look very good at all. It might be the grain layer I slapped over top of the films. Piping the project through Compressor from within Final Cut looks great. But rendering it to a lossless file first looks terrible.
