Will the legendary, mythological 4K restoration of Star Wars ever be released?
Good things happen to those who wait… 😉
Except we have been waiting for 25-30 years!
It won’t be Lucasfilm.
Nor Disney under Kennedy.
I don’t think Kennedy runs Disney. That’d be Bob Iger. Anyway. Just wait a month or so. You’ll see.

I have to say, I enjoyed TLJ a lot on bluray. I’m gonna miss Snoke though. I love a true evil mofu…
Huh!.. very interesting turn of opinion. What changed your mind when rewarching it on home video if you don’t mind me asking?
Could someone please tell me if there is a version of despecialized for mobile? I would like to be able to take those editions with me on the go.
It’s very easy to make your own with Handbrake.
This may be a known issue, but if not I thought I’d just mention it.

The first time the Snow Speeders appear you can see through them to the mountains behind.Anyway, thank you Harmy for your amazing work.
That’s how it is. In order to avoid matte lines (the black outline around objects in optical compositing) that would be apparent in the white Hoth scenes, the speeders were made semi transparent.
I think the only way to get get Fincher’s full vision is to travel back in time and let him finish and keep the suits off of his back. I don’t believe he ever got to fully finish the film all the way to the end.
The Assembly Cut is pretty darn good and it has redeemed the film in many aspects.
Sorry to change the subject, but during the scene where Threepio said “Master Luke!” on Crait, did anyone else wish Luke had said “no, just Luke” before he winked?
Nice!
I’d thought of another “small touch” idea, but it would probably have been really clunky to include: Kylo Ren tells his subordinates to broadcast the destruction of the Resistance live to the public.
But… the holiday special was shot on NTSC video tape. We have a broadcast master. We’re not going to get any better than that.
Do you know where I can find the broadcast master?
No idea, sorry. Check the holiday special thread.

I’m curious, which of the regraded screencaps do you feel look worse?
Like others have said, a lot of those shots are supposed to simulate sunset/the golden hour. You take away the yellow, you make it feel like it’s 2 in the afternoon.
Imho, some of those shots are made worse.
Honest trailers does The Last Jedi.
I chuckled.
Nothing’s been going on here for the better part of two years. But every time this thread gets a bump I still hope against hope that there’s news.
Forget Legacy. There’s a new hope in town. Just need to wait a little while longer.
Some insider gossip on the production issues of Solo:
http://www.vulture.com/2018/03/solo-a-star-wars-story-actor-details-production-troubles.html
TL;DR: Lord and Miller were in over their heads, and the set was pandemonium. Howard stepped in and things got back on track.
12 days until blu ray!
We’ve got to wait until the 9th April here in the UK . Not happy 😦
Here in Germany we have got to wait until the 26th April. 😦
Oooooooh fuuuuuuuuuuudge (only I didn’t say fudge). I’m in France and I just looked up our release date here: 20 April. I think I’ll just order from Amazon.co.uk
I actually saw Audrey Tautou in real life once and she is teeny tiny. I would say like 5 feet (1m50) kinda tiny.
Right back to Despecialized! Hey Harmy, it’s my birthday next month - you think you could be finished with 3.0 by then for the whole trilogy?
(This was sarcasm…just in case anyone misunderstood)
Well as soon as she arrives, she says “we haven’t much time” and they plan an attack centered around the Death Star coming to them…
The line in the movie is ‘we have no time for our sorrows, commander’. Which would be true whether or not the station was on its way, since they would be keen to avoid another loss like Alderaan.
From the Revised Fourth Draft:
LEIA
We don’t have time for our sorrows,
Commander. The battle station has
surely tracked us here.
(looking pointedly to
Han)
It’s the only explanation for the
ease of our escape. You must use the
information in this R2 unit to plan
the attack. It is our only hope.So even then she is only making an assumption.
Honestly, I don’t really care whether or not Leia was sure or was assuming. I was just trying to make a point that if you look hard, you can find really terrible inconsistencies even in the sacred and beloved OT.
I think this thread, and any TLJ thread in any forum, has run its course for me.

The problem with criticizing the kamakaze act in TLJ is that in the name of fairness, you’re going to have to nitpick the use of Ion Cannons.
“Well, if a few blasts of an ion cannon can cripple a star destroyer, why doesn’t the empire use more of them against the rebels!”
Have we ever seen an Ion cannon fired from a spacecraft? Seems like the thing is huge, and probably dependent on that big power generator the Walkers took out. One can argue that particular SD captain was overconfident (our first catch of the day) and didn’t have his shields up. We also don’t see any other SD’s get hit.
And while we’re at it, let’s nitpick how Luke was able to leave Hoth with little trouble while everyone else had to go through a blockade.
The Imperial fleet is probably chasing down the bigger ships, (all of which have fled Hoth at that point) and it’s easier to slip away. Space is big, really big Wedge and those other pilots getting to their X-Wings probably did the same.
And while I’m thinking about it, if Leia knew the Falcon was rigged with a tracking device, why didn’t they go out of light speed somewhere far from the base, rendez-vous with a cruiser, and leave Han.
And make sure the cruiser brings Han his money? 😉 There are arguments that the Rebels want to bring the DS to them, gambling that they will find a weakness in time. Han refused to believe they were being tracked anyway.
“Yeah…bbbbut…why didn’t they have someone look into the camera and tell us this info! The movie would have been better as a result!”

So yeah, you see where I’m going with this?
What happened to the colors ? You know, that little thing we got in both the OT and the PT and which seems to be absent of the Disney Era…
Will someone think of the collars!?
The differences between the original and the 78 reissue are small enough, I can see people not knowing which one they watched.
The only big differences are that certain scenes are rearranged in the middle of the film and there is an additional 30 seconds between SEN and the young boys. That’s it.
The laserdisc is indeed the 78 reissue. The only available versions of the original theatrical cut are film prints.
Yes, 28 Days Later was shot on standard definition PAL DV and heavily modified in post (watch the deleted scenes from the DVD and they look like someone’s home movie).
Only the ending where they’re in the cottage was shot in 35mm.
You can’t deny he was technologically innovative though, since most movies today are shot in digital cameras and Lucas was the one that started the trend.
I don’t find it innovative. The technology already existed and was being used on smaller films. All he did was use it badly.
Eh… it did not really exist. Prior to AoTC, a lot of indie filmmakers were shooting on DV and outputting to film. That was the extent of “digital filmmaking” and no one was claiming that video would overthrow film. And yes, there were smaller experiments using very early high def video but what Lucas did was popularizing digital filmmaking in mainstream cinema and whose quality rivaled film. THIS was the revolution.
Sure, looking back now, the technology is laughably outdated (I’m sure my sony A6000 can shoot footage just as good), but you have to start somewhere and Lucas was brave enough to take that leap.
And like someone else said, shooting digital wasn’t easier, especially in the early days. One problem was the use of small sensors which increases your depth of field. You have to use longer and faster lenses order to work around that, not to mention color compression issues that affect post production etc.
