That could be an interesting idea but as said before on the Evil Dead thread, these are all SD materials, AFAIK, and it's probably best on DVD, so the upconverting players can do their job. Still, some official BDs have SD Bonus Content.

I actually believe this series had more to do with Lucas than Speilberg... However, it was shot on 16mm and not video so it could indeed look great on Blu-Ray; however, I don't think there's enough of a demand for them.

Despite the worse quality than DVD, count me in as being curious to see it. Tron does need a fan edit and your early work did look promising. Thanks for updating the thread, in any case.

Hi FremenDar, I believe that an AVCHD was released by someone onto the Newsgroups but it was not Adywan. It was actually just an upscaled version of the DVD, but some said it looked pretty good; it may actually be an interesting upload to tehparadox.

Anyway, the "official" Adywan 720p HD version comes after ROTJ: Revisited.

I suppose that the content from all the Treasures discs (1DVD9 and 2DVD5s) can be fit onto a single BD-25; however, that would mean there would be a mix of Evil Dead 1 and 2 materials. Also, all the materials are in SD, so it's probably better just to have it as a DVD, so DVD players can upconvert it well. Someone may also need to make new menus.

SeeNoEvil is working on another Evil Dead disc, an improved version of his Treasures Collection, but is still far from completion; if comprehensive enough, that could probably be put on a Blu-Ray disc.

Ohh.. Youtube removed the video. :-(

Thorr stated that he was going to do these at a resolution of 2560 x 1600, so I suppose that's what he means by ultra-HD. It definitely will look better than Blu-Ray HD.

Just sent out some MySpleen invites. If any of them don't work, just ask me for another, though I only have two left.

Has anyone confirmed/seen changes to the Prequel Trilogy aside from the CGI TPM Yoda?

Congratulations Anchorhead. From the months I've been here, you seem like a pretty levelheaded guy; you'll make a great moderator. Good luck; you're watching over 7762 members. :D

I dunno I think the cover for the 2006 GOUT is much worse even than that. Ugh

Really? I prefer the 2006 cover to this cover. They're both awful though...

Just sent you an invite, baek. Enjoy...

Just sent you an invite Killrmonkey... check your PMs.

Just PM'ed you an invite Oleo.

P.S. Do you have to buy the complete bluray set to get the documentaries? Cause I love those.

Yes you do need to get the Complete Saga Blu-Ray but it is common for it to be sold individually on eBay, so if that's all you want, then you can find a good deal over there. That's actually what I personally plan to do since you don't give money to LFL directly but can still see those deleted scenes and doumentaries.

Just sent you a PM and a myspleen invite, Hostmaster. You should be able to get them there. If you have any questions PM me back.

It must not have come out well since the decapitation isn't even in the Lost Cut..

I definitely agree with Bingowings. This way is much better than as is in the actual film. This is much more Star Wars-y. One of the reasons ROTJ doesn't work is that the picture seems blander than the other films; nothing is really vivid and sticks out to the eye. This is along the lines of why I like a white Hoth in ESB, as opposed to a duller blue; I love whatever sticks out to the eye without being overly obnoxious. Darker picture makes dull film...

DNR strikes back, I suppose. Lucas was probably trying to emulate a video look by DNR-ing things. The Mace Windu shot earlier does indeed look grain-reduced. It's a shame because I thought that TPM might have the best transfer in the set.

Which do you think is more bothersome: the EE and slight cropping of the HDTV broadcasts or this DNR'ed version?

EDIT: I do suppose that we should be thankful this wasn't done to the OT. Maybe Lucas wants to encourage the PT more by having what are, in his eyes, better transfers for them.

Ah got it. Thanks for the information Darth Lars. I've always really wondered about that since the TPM puppet looks horrendous.

RANDOM MEMORY: I actually read an article around 2005 that they used the TPM puppet as a stand-in in ROTS during the Tantive IV scenes, but it's face was half-melted off, due to improper storage. Apparently the actors had a hard time concentrating because of this.

He probably just wanted attention and getting banned was a way for him to end it without outing himself as a complete fraud, which is probably what he was.

Sen you a PM about Rapidshare links just in case you still need it.

Hi there, the "Book of the Dead" Fan-Made DVD has not been released yet as far as I know; it will probably be unveiled with a V2 of the Treasures Collection. I sent you a PM with rapidshare/megaupload links of DVDs you may be interested, including the first version of the Treasures Collection.

I do not know exactly where to find Sam Raimi's Super 8 Shorts, but there may be a DVD floating out there for those interested. I'll see if I can find one. As far as Josh Becker's Super 8 Shorts, those have been released officially and can be bought from Becker's website here.

I'm also a big Evil Dead fan, so if you're looking for anything or find something interesting, feel free to contact me.

Well, for what's it worth, I think that the original arm reaction shot looks convincing. Maybe they wanted to add the blood or make it look more human... I wonder how this would look in color.

Invited. Check your PMs.
