As for the colour of TIE fighters, I must say it is painfully obvious that the blue colour is the bluescreen leaking, in the GOUT you can clearly see the colour flickering all over the place with plain grey underneath.

There are blue and white TIEs: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/exhibit/tie.html

You have some mad skills, bro. Those are probably the best made covers I've seen here.

Found Dagobah and Bespin.

First time I saw the movie I was 8 but it didn't scare me at all, actually. I just loved the movies. Dagobah scenes bored me, though.

Then, for the ones who know the current final version, those final improvements concern:

Just don't say final anymore, thx. :P

My favorite special effect is when they are going to hyperspace in SW and TESB. It looks great and it's like they get to safety from almost being captured.

Although I'm wondering now if Robot Chicken actually thought of it first.

I'm gonna check and see who posted it first. Heh heh.

You posted April 1st at 5:55 PM.

Yeah, because when you're thinking about Tauntaun sleeping bag you always think about Episode V Revisited.

Sorry, what I meant was Laserdisc. Wookieepedia assures me it is different.

This mix, digitally remastered by Ben Burtt and Gary Summers, was supposedly a mix of the best elements of all three original mixes. However, it is primarily a fold-down of the 6-track 70mm mix, with some mono mix elements and additional elements "dialled in".

Isn't that called the GOUT?

I've got scans of some of the original mattes at pretty high res, with the painter's rough work off the canvas still showing, which is quite nice.

Can you share them? :)

After seeing the cover it just hit me - the movie is in NTSC, right? D'oh! Any PAL versions out there?

Btw, what are the main differences with the 85 version and the original one? I think I have a video from 1994 (not a US or UK version) which I think is exactly the same as first video, with the lighter canyon shots and without added sounds to the Tantive IV door blowing scene. Sound is in stereo.

By lighter canyon shots do you mean when artoo is in the canyon, which people seem to think got darker in the 93/95 version?

 

Yup.

- 2.0 Stereo (1977, 1981 35mm Theatrical, early laserdiscs)

 

Also on rental videos before 1985. I have the first rental UK video from 83, it claims it's stereo but the sound is actually mono. (not the mono mix, but the stereo mix in mono)

The stereo mix was folded down supposedly to mono on the first issue rental betamax tape, but the vhs was in stereo.  I have also read that there was a vhs version that was rare that had the stereo folded down into mono, but have not been able to prove that claim, as i believe by this point in time most if not all vhs releases that were stereo were also mono compatible.

Like I said, I have the first rental VHS and it is in mono. Covers say stereo but it isn't.

There seems to be a lot of clouds in mock-ups. Tatooine shouldn't have that many because there's pretty much no water.

Is anybody still seeding this? I've been trying to download it like a week or so and I'm still at 0%. :/

These sound like those in the prequalize the OT, another great topic. LOL!

Great stuff, Venal. I'd like to see your mattes in full res. They're great.

The Empire Strikes Back.

Thrawn trilogy.

X-Wing and Dark Forces game series (XW, TF, XvT, XWA, DF, DFII). LucasArts' best games ever. Also KotOR is a great game.

Great! Now just waiting for the torrent. :)

Where's that quote from?

Hi.

I just got a Samsung BD-1580 player and I've been watching many DVDs in the past week with it. Weird thing is, there seems to be moments when the picture pixalates and it may pause for a second or two, and after that showing without subtitles, you have to rewind and press play to see them again. I already once changed the player but same thing still happens on all my DVDs. It happens maybe 2-5 times during one movie. What's the problem??

I don't have any BDs to test with it, I don't even have an HDTV yet.

How's this thing going?

Almost done.  I've been out of town most of the past 3 weeks, which has obviously slowed things down a bit.  And I've been redoing some of the work on reels 2 and 3.  Should be out by the end of summer.

Cool, can't wait.

How's this thing going?

It is a shame the poor man hasn't had as big of a break as Harrison Ford.

I haven't listen the commentaries since '04, either, but I remember that Kershner was by far my favorite. These movies could use different tracks like some movies, like one is a technical commentary,  one by director (well, if Lucas could stop lying, it would be interesting to know what really happened) and one by cast. Imagine a commentary by Hamill, Fisher and Ford if they were in the same room. That would be awesome.

Does anyone know why Episode IV was removed from the DVD? I mean, it hasn't been on any video releases or anything and no one would have complained that it was there if that was the case, we would be just as happy (or unhappy) with the GOUT. It makes me wonder why dig up the scroll from somewhere and edit it to an LD craptastic video. What did LFL gain with that? Are they just showing that "we really have this on film but screw you anyways" and if so, what's the point in that?
