I agree, I don't believe this trailer is any indication at all of what the set will look like, but people like to complain anyways instead of just waiting.

ok then, answer me this: If the trailer is no indication of what the blu-ray set will look like and that they have just used stock footage from the old releases, as some people have said, then why have they used the new transfer for TPM? Wouldn't that be the old footage too?

Maybe they've had the new transfer ready for years.  We did see the new Yoda as early as 2005.

yes they have. this was documented in an interview years ago that they had the HD transfer ready for a Blu-Ray release

You know Ady I have a TON of respect for you and ALL your work, but I am not going to argue over something that is NOT going to be in our hands for another 8-9 months, I am just agreeing with the other guy that the trailer might have been just a slapped together piece of SH*T! and that there ARE people on this forum that like to complain about things just to complain, hell it is already going on in this thread, can I not comment on that? I find it very funny that this happens, because as I said, WE meaning ALL of us here, have not seen the set yet and won't for a long time yet, I myself, am hoping, that all these premature complaints are wrong, but only time will tell, so do you have anything else you want to direct at me?

wow, DJ, calm down. I was only putting a valid point across to you or am i not allowed to reply to something you have said on an open forum? Yours was the last post that mentioned this so i replied, or should i have listed every other one too?

Fixing it would be admitting it was a mistake rather than a "creative choice."

Ain't gonna happen.

Yeah like the reversed surround sound in ANH, LOL.

THAT will be interesting to hear if its fixed. It's supposed to be a new sound mix, right?

 

yes, it was confirmed that ANH has had a new sound mix.

It will probably be over £100 here in the UK. Usually you can just substitute the $ sign with a £ sign. Just shows how ripped off we are over here

This is what really annoys me in the press blub:

Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray will feature all six live-action Star Wars feature films utilizing the highest possible picture and audio presentation,..

Highest possible picture presentation? With all the screwed up colouring of the OT and the lightsabre gaffs to start off with? I really use to respect LFL for being pioneers in picture and audio quality, always striving to present the movies in the best quality, but now they're too pig-headed to admit that there is anything wrong with these transfers but they will spend the time & money to restore TPM's and include the CG Yoda. It really shows now just how much GL hates the OT. I guess all the prequel lovers will be happy though

Well the trailer for the Blu-Ray is up now. The OT colours are exactly the same as 2004 but yet again they use the new transfer for TPM. Well hopefully this will shut the kenkraly's of this world up now. THE COLOURS WILL NOT BE FIXED FOR THE BLU-RAY. It's the official LFL trailer and you can clearly see that even the crappy sabres are the same as 2004. Just looks at the crossed sabres in front of the Emperor.

So September 2011. Couldn't have timed it better. Now i won't have to part with any money for this set but instead get it brought for me for my wedding anniversary ;)

Another program that you could use is MultiAVCHD as this converts HD to DVD and the result is better quality than ConvertX

TML, what do you use to make the crawl? Looks pretty good. Just something i noticed though, the Star Wars logo doesn't disappear it just becomes static and then gets covered by the crawl

Ady...noticed on the ESB:R facebook page that you were contemplating moving release to the end of 2011...did you ever make a decision on that?

yes, i thinks a more realistic goal really. Plus i really do now want to see what's on the Blu-Rays just in case there is anything i could use

Almost perfect, but if anyone wanted to take a shot at their own theatrical reconstruction there are some improvements that could be made. There were occasional choices in colouring that made faces and skin look waxy and artifical, and some crushed black levels look photographically anomalous. I suppose this was a limitation in the source.

yeh, the skin tone & crushed blacks  thing is a problem with the 2004 transfer. sometimes the skintones don't have any highlights and are all one shade so it was impossible to restore these without rotoscoping sections to add new highlights which would have taken forever.

I would go with the recommendation of Imgburn, especially since it's going to be a DVD-9. Nero is pretty crap at setting the layer break and isn't too good for reliable burns either when compared to IMGburn

I guess now kenkraly has gone for good, we can now get back to some normality (although i fear he will be back again pretty soon)

So what would the one thing be, if changed in the Blu-Ray OT, that would cause the biggest fan outrage since Greedo shooting?

I think i'm going to leave it the way it is. I think you would see a slight edge of the steps but it's so dark in that area it wouldn't really show up anyway. And the pylon is an actual set piece and is just a slight different design. Nothing to fix there. The floor in both chambers would be flat and it would indeed be a figure 8

I haven't got time to look at everything yet as i'm on my way out, but here's a picture of the actual chamber set from a different angle. one thing i do know is that there is nothing wrong with the pylon as it's the actual set. Only the top section, the ceiling, is a matte

If the SE cut retains the original lines then the SE one would be great. But does this one have the original emperor lines or the 2004 version?

I know this is off-topic, but can someone please tell me who this "kenkraly" is and why he's in Ady's avatar and user title? And before anyone tells me to use the search function, I did, but it only yielded 3 results, all from 2008. o.O

It all started about here:

It gets so much better as its goes on.

allright adywan I'm sorry not stop picking on me right now.  I did'nt know the video was A fake I should of never trusted that guy.

Not stop picking on you? Are you trying reverse psychology on us?

Well i can do that if you want...

LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUMBLEEEEE....

There was a young LAIR name of Ken
Who created a clip in his den
But when they found out it was fake
His pants filled with butt cake
Now he's gone, No he's here back again

kenkraly2007 said:

Fine adywan don't belive me  that the colors and the sound mix for EP4 won't be fixed for the blu-ray release. The blu-ray release won't be bad.

ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

My head has just exploded.

Now answer about the FAKE video you posted. That was MY work you insignificant little ass pimple. How dare you try and pass it off as Lucasfilms to try and make me look wrong. That was the lowest of the low. Apologise now or i will report you for being the anal dwelling butt monkey you really are. I'm not telling you again or i will hold my breath until i pass out or stamp my feet and i won't stop until i you do. Bwahhhhh

kenkraly2007 said:

So what if I badmouth the forum I like the speical editions and original cuts of the OT and the prequel films as well.

So, it's ok for you to badmouth the forum but not for us to badmouth you back? Pot, kettle, black. Why don't you crawl back into your little LIAR and let us continue to call GL a LAIR

TV's Frink said:

Check out adywan's new user title.

Awesome.

Couldn't resist it ;)

That's one of the funniest things i've ever read. No wonder we get their dregs over here in the form of kenkraly who talks and spells like a 5 year old. It reminds me of the type of thing you'd write out and pass around the class when you were a kid to make everyone laugh and get into trouble.

Knowing that crowd, they're debating adding "OOT", "OUT", "GOUT", "Revisited" and "Adywan" to the dirty word filter.

That wouldn't surprise me at all with that crowd

Lucas is not a lair it's just all you guys think he is.

He may now be a lair but he is a LIAR. God sake man learn how to spell. You post it this way EVERY GOD DAMN TIME yet you're too dumb to see why everyone is taking the p**s out of you and keep mentioning it
