STAR WARS: EP VI -RETURN OF THE JEDI &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - ** PRODUCTION HAS NOW RESTARTED **
Time

This may be a dumb idea in the ears of some here, or maybe it has been discussed already:

I always had problems with the different visuals of Luke’s lightsaber in ROTJ, as there seem to be at least four designs (Hero, V2, Yuma, ISYHCANL). Seeing as Lucasfilm has decided over the last few years that the HERO version is now Luke’s official design, may it be an idea to change that in this edit?
It’s just nitpicking and maybe not worth the work with CGI, but there are at least two close up scenes where you can see that Luke has two different sabers (confronting Vader on Endor and the Emperor throne room scene).

In the german translation, C-3PO is saying "Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never got out of this palace (“Lando Calrissian und der arme Chewbacca sind aus dieser Burg nie wieder herausgekommen.”)

Translations aren’t always accurate.

I’ve watched enough bad English dubs of Godzilla movies to know that 😄

Yes I know, I just wanted to point out that in the german context, showing Chewbacca in the prison scene first would make sense.

When he said he never came back from “this awful place” he was probably referring to Tatooine.

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy DTS CD ROMs...(First Post UPDATED 08 DEC 2012) (Released)
Time

I don’t want to open a new thread, so I’m trying it here:

Is someone in the possession of the DTS/AUX tracks or CDs of the first and second trailers from The Phantom Menace? Maybe they are titled Trailer A and Trailer B, but I’m not sure. Because I found a picture from a DTS CD titled ‘Trailer C’,… but don’t know what trailer that could be.

New Lucas interview 2: 'Insists Unaltered Versions Of The OT Will Never Be Released'

Does that mean that the original negatives are archived in a place where they are available for scanning at any time today? From what source do you get this information? It is really very interesting

One can only hope. They are trying to tell us that the negatives were used for the Special Edition in 1997, but there are too many references and hints that this may not be true. There was a dedicated website to this matter, but I can’t recall its name.

Current SW &amp; ESB 35mm reels on eBay..
Time

Why are there trailers from Twisters, Titanic, Men in Black and Air Force One attached to the prints? With the exception from Twister, all these movies are from 1997 - the year the Special Editions were released. Strange… but the movies themself seem to be definitely older, as they have the old Fox and LucasFilm logos.

In what ways &quot;Revenge of the Jedi&quot; and Leigh Brackett's Empire Strikes Back different from what we got?
Time

The other hope Yoda speaks of is Luke’s sister Nellith, who has been trained in the Jedi arts at the other side of the galaxy. Leia was just a princess / love interest.

To me that is the thing I would like to have seen the most. I very well love Vader being Luke’s father, but the Luke/Leia thing… it still bugs me.

'Return of the Jedi' Tennis Shoe Easter Egg

Well, there’s the confirmation. Congrats to the OP, he was probably the first one to find it.

I almost wonder if OP was actually a researcher for Prop Store, running this by the fans discretely to judge if we’d accept this as true.

(for the record, I do think it’s true)

Haha, no, I am not. It was just a coincidence. I saw EC Henry’s YouTube video and thought ‘Na, this definitely looks nothing like a tennis shoe’. A few days after that I saw 4K83 (or a scanned 35mm ROTJ trailer), and then out of nowhere it hit me directly in the face.

It’s great to finally see the real ‘prop’ after all these years, I must admit. Now give me all the TESB asteroid potatoes!

This is a punch into the gut. I recently tried to watch The Phantom Menace (don’t blame me) on Disney+, but the low bitrate and bad sound quality had to force me to turn it off. So I decided to plug in my HDD with an own rip of the film from my Blu-ray, with a prestine bitrate and DTS sound. The podrace scene was like night and day compared to the stream.

Bad bitrate and sound quality? Disney Plus version is 4K. Streams are based on your Internet connection. I prefer digital 4K versions of Star Wars over Star Wars on disc for the altered versions of the six films. I own Star Wars on digital HD. Eventually, I will purchase 4K versions of all 11 Star Wars movies. If you have ITunes, you can download 4K versions locally to your PC and cast the video to a smart TV screen or Roku device.

Resolution isn’t the same as bitrate. The lower the bitrate, the more compression artifacts you’ll get. With a 4k Blu-ray you’ll probably will get around 1000 mbps, although Disney+ in 4k dumps around 17 Mbps.

My internet connection is very good, and I’m streaming via direct cable connection.

I’m guessing that’s a typo, but just to be clear, a 4k disc will peak at 100mbps, not 1000.

Whoops!
Yes, a typo. Sometimes I’m glad not to work at a money bank 😄

how did you react to the Yoda Reveal?
Time

I was 5 or 6 years old when I first saw TESB, so I can’t really remember if I was ‘fooled’ by Yoda’s speech about ‘Yoda’. But I do remember that I was very afraid of him. There was something menacing about his apperance (real looking puppet, strange way to speak, lived at a dark place). So it took some years for me to finally realize that he was really one of the good guys!
