4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

Maybe if they include everything that wasn’t previously ported over from the DVD’s, plus the Blu Ray extras?

Hypothetical set:
TPM
Disc 1 1999 original theatrical version/2001 extended version/2011 digital Yoda version via seamless branching.
Disc 2 3-D version?
Disc 3 UHD version
AOTC
Disc 1 2002 original theatrical version/2011 version via seamless branching
Disc 2 3-D version?
Disc 3 UHD version
ROTS
Disc 1 2005 original theatrical version/2011 version via seamless branching
Disc 2 3-D version?
Disc 3 UHD version

I know Disney has been leaving U.S. 3-D lovers out in the cold lately, but Lucasfilm could buck the trend the way Marvel has. And the 3-D versions are already paid for, might as well include them.

Presuming many of the old DVD extras were SD, they won’t take up much disc space.

George Lucas: Star Wars Creator, Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist...
Time

The list of things George could have fixed given his mandate for the SE’s but didn’t could make it’s own thread. For example, he replaces the wolf guy in the Cantina, but does nothing about the shot of the little bat head guy where you can clearly see through the eye holes of the hollow mask as his head turns slightly. That would have been a relatively easy CGI fix.

It’s possible those shots simply don’t bother him for whatever reason…

Can we please take such questions to the spoiler thread? Some people are avoiding the trailer you know!

Work, concerning the post you edited, putting “REDACTED” in place doesn’t hide anything that wouldn’t be glaringly obvious from the context of the rest of the post.

Fixed. 😉

And who the heck is Work?

My voice-over for &quot;CAPCOM GO!&quot; The Apollo Story. Planetarium show celebrating the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11
Time

Yes, but I don’t want Mark showing up on my doorstep in a Joker costume either. Not to mention he’s voicing the new Chucky! 😛

I did voice over stuff back in college, for my own projects and for others. I recorded dialog with my head stuck in a large cardboard tube to simulate wearing a space helmet once. I’ve found automobile interiors also work well for recording booths.

I don’t think Xizor has the recognition Maul has with casual fans and the general public though.

OMG, i remember an incident that happened over 20 years ago!

Me and a couple of friends watched the TPM teaser trailer, which i recorded from the German TV channel Pro7. And i recall one of my friends saw the “Darth-Maul-ignites-his-double-bladed-light-saber” and he asked immediately:

“Is that supposed to be the guy from Shadows of the Empire, Prince Xizor?”

Have you seen this thread?

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

The DS explosion is clearly in the upper half, so the dish could have been blown off by the concussion wave and the flash makes it impossible to see.

The specks were a lot bigger in ROTJ, probably big enough to leave a large crater or ruin your day if it lands nearby, and it was a lot closer to Endor than DS1 was to Yavin 4…

They cut away after this frame, so there’s wiggle room for falling debris.

The wreckage could also have gone into a wide orbit of the Endor system and fallen on another nearby planet months or years later.

Anyway, if his appearance plays out the way I think it might, they could have filmed him separately from principal photography and just about anyplace they could set up a green screen. Or just manipulate old footage of him ala Marlon Brando in Superman Returns?

Yes very true, we’ll need to keep an eye out for future press info to confirm thats the case.

Also you cool with the threads new title?

Yes, it’s fine. 😃
