STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time

Honestly I’m not too picky about colors. I can deal with the Blu Ray colors with some slight blanket adjustments (specified by JawsTDS. Basically a gamma increase, a reduction in red shadows and blue highlights. They don’t look actuate to how they looked in the 70s and 80s but it at least makes them look pleasing to the eyes… Although obviously legitimate thorough “accurate” shot by shot correction what’s done by adywan is great too), But that just looked awful.

But I have a hard time believing you remember what the colors looked like in theaters 20 years ago.

Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)
Time

Unless you have myspleen you pretty much can’t get this right now. Who knows when you will be able to since myspleen invites are closed. However you can still get the despecialized versions that are included in this set by more public user friendly means, just without all the bells and whistles. (Shiny menus, bonus features, etc.) The films themselves weren’t changed from Harmys Despecialized version for this, they were just assembled into a shiny Blu Ray with menus and bonus features. You can still get the despecialized versions by themselves.

I Don’t really see pot as a bad habit, unless it’s a problem of avoiding loved ones to do it or you can’t financially sustain it. It’s had nothing but positive benefits for me both physically and mentally. I’m more social, happier, my blood pressure is lower, my stomach is more settled. If you’re just worried about smoking (I’m not. If you buy really high quality stuff a decent puff or two at a time is really all you need and honestly what’s that going to do to you realistically. I’m talking real dank stuff) you could just vape it and basically eliminate all physical side effects.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m even a Star Wars fan anymore.

Elements from the OT which continue to resonate with me:

  • The visuals.
  • The main protagonists.
  • Luke’s story.
  • The music.

Otherwise, I feel I’ve outgrown it all and probably did years ago. A series about white hat heroes battling black hat villains in a swashbuckling setting just doesn’t hold enduring appeal to someone who constantly wishes in their heart of hearts that Ingmar Bergman had created the films instead.

I feel the exact same way. I think the new Disney marketing blitz doesn’t help. I find it hard now to even think of Star Wars films as real movies because Star Wars as a brand is just everywhere. I think of Star Wars like I think of Sprite or Windex. Just a product.

Good…to be honest I feel that star wars will be remembered while the shit you like will be forgotten much like you

What the fuck is your problem? He wasn’t insulting anything or anybody. If anything all he was saying was he was burned out on star wars, he didn’t even say anything bad about it. And I don’t recall him saying he liked you either.

You watched it growing up? So, like, yesterday? Just kidding Mr Rollins.

You’re what, six or seven years older than me? Eight maybe? I don’t mind people making fun of me for only becoming an adult later this month, but I expect that from older members like Frink, not ones who are most likely younger than my oldest brother. 😛

EDIT: and I get that it’s just a joke. If this came off sounding like I’m annoyed, don’t worry. I just think the situation is funny. 😄

Old enough to work full time as a supervisor of over 30 people many of which are older than your parents and live by myself with no financial support from anybody. But you’re almost 18 and out of high school so we’re practically the same!

Btw, being 18 doesn’t make you an adult in any sense other than fine print, and accepting that will make developing alot smoother for you and your parents. Honest, unsarcastic (and unsolicited I’m sure) advice. Living on your own (or with a roommate or two also counts) without any financial assistance from your parents or guardians makes you an adult.

Nobody should drink Dr. Pepper.

Coca-Cola is the only rightful soft drink.

I close out every single evening with a can of caffeine free Coke poured in a glass with 3 to 4 shots of gin. (I know most people use whiskey for this type of drink and I do too on occasion but I prefer gin because it doesn’t change the taste of the coke much. I do like the flavor of whiskey and Coke quite a bit, not not as much as coke by itself)

I know it’s alot of sugar but it’s the only (nonalcohol based… You know what I mean) significant amount of sugar I have in a day because I only drink water and gin (not mixed together!!!) The rest of the day and I don’t like sweet foods.

Is the 97 really that red right there?
Jeez. And here we thought the Blu Ray colors were bad. Even the sky is red!

So far I’d say the original version is best, even from a vfx standpoint because it goes by so fast you don’t notice what it looks like. In the SE sure the speeder looks better but the way it moves is awkward and it’s slower (at least it seems slower) so i notice how bad it looks more.
