Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

ANOTHER EDIT: I meant to post this yesterday...

These cover are great, Harmy!

 

EDIT: I just saw that someone posted this same thing earlier, and that there may not be an answer to be had. I'm dying to watch these, though, so maybe someone can help!

 

I'm having an issue burning two of these. I had no issue with the ISO for RotJ, works on everything I have to play it on (LG Blu-Ray Player, PS3.) However, for both ANH and ESB I had to create the ISO's myself. Neither of those work on my PS3 and I have no idea what I've done wrong. I'm on a Mac and I have Toast and Disk Utility.

Could someone point me on the right direction? Thanks all!

I'm waiting until Bill Hunt reviews it and then I'm quite sure I STILL won't want the set.

Bill Hunt will praise this release just like he did for the 2004 one.  This is taken from the second page of his DVD review:

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews3/starwarstrilogy02.html

Because the transfers were done from the original negatives, you're going to see detail in these films that you've never seen before. You'll notice this right from the opening shot of A New Hope, when the Star Destroyer chases its quarry over the surface of Tatooine. Just look at the subtle swirl of cloud patterns on the planet below - astonishing. Best of all, not a lick of added edge enhancement was required to bring out this detail. What else is good? The color palette here is more lush and accurate than ever before. You're going to be blown away by everything from subtle flesh tones to the vibrant gold plating on C-3PO's chest to the bright orange flightsuits of the Rebel pilots. Contrast is also spectacular, with deep detailed blacks and clear, accurate whites. All three films in this set are just going to absolutely blow you away, and the bigger your screen the better it gets. The Star Wars Trilogy on DVD is the best excuse you're ever going to have to go out and buy yourself a good anamorphic widescreen display. Until true high-definition arrives, it just doesn't get better than this.

I'm curious, where does the knowledge of the 'proper color' that everyone seems to hold every release to come from? Memory, a specific source, general consensus?

And I'm seriously curious, not douchy-mocking curious.

I'll buy them, but I won't be happy about it. (16%, 172 Votes)

It's this group that gets me. I guess Ady, Jambe, etc who are using it for editing or review purposes would buy it but not be happy, but it reads more like people who are forced to buy the movies.
Count me in that group as well...
-_-

However, if those reports turn out to be true and either the new PT deleted scenes are of poor standards or the deleted scenes from the previous DVD release aren't included in this newer BD set, then I'll be cancelling my pre-order with two words for Uncle George.... with the last word being "Off".
I think having no material (save for the commentaries) cross over at all is a good thing. I still have all that material, I don't need it to be repeated elsewhere. I do wonder if LFL could have brought the OT deleted scenes to a level of quality that could match current standards.
Personally, I like being able to get rid of my old discs, especially if I'm changing formats.

 

I love having a collection of these things, but I definitely get where you're coming from. If all of the previous material were carried over, I imagine that the set's price point would be a little beyond comfortable for your average consumer.

AH, if you post in the thread that is cool, I totally forgot about all the excitement from the recent Blu-ray Set findings, and I can understand being excited, I have been there myself before, so go ahead and PM, post in thread, it's all good.

I know I said I am going to retire from anything DVD LOL, but I am considering 1 thing, and it really would not be that hard, or take much time, but I may do new encodes for the V3 DVD Set and upload the new video files for those that may want to swap them out, the new encodes will be encoded from the 720p Blu-ray lossless avi file I have, some have shown interest in this so I am thinking about it, plus ANH has a couple of real bad frames fixed, and ESB has a ton of them fixed, so we will see.

That's something I would be very interested in! I'm curious, though, how does one replace the video?

I imagine just another technical skill to acquire and conquer...

Let's all say something nice about George Lucas. No insults allowed.

I always liked Phantom Menace and thought George did a great job directing it. To me it has always been far superior to the other prequels. While it's not perfect, it does have a certain sense of fun about it all, and some of the performances are quite good, especially Neeson and McGregor. Darth Maul is great, all of the action is great, Jar Jar and Watto are pretty amazing technical achievements, and it was just awesome to see some new Star Wars. The other prequels feel like they had been adjusted to fit what the fans wanted or what was going to be popular, but TPM has a certain pureness to it that feels imaginative in the way the OT does. It also felt to me like a director that hadn't worked in years, having fun with his new toys and firing on all cylinders.

All of this...

Also, in general, George has a vision, and he pursues it and sees it out (let's ignore, for the moment, that he is still pursuing it.) As a creator myself, I'm always impressed.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

*Nevermind, I've found teh way.

 

 

Hello all,

I have looked high and low and am unable to find (or completely download; on PB I'm stuck at 76% with no hope in sight) the Purist Edition of Revisited. Short of pulling my hair out, I don't know what to do...

Could anyone be kind enough to lead me in the right direction? A PM, a treasure map, something? This is the last Adywan standard DVD project I need to complete my set.

Thanks to any and all who can help!
