If we own BluRay players why would we want the DVDs???

because DVDs play on computers and Xboxes

 So do Blu-rays

I put a blu-ray into my computer. It didn't play. I put a blu-ray into my Xbox. It didn't play.

There would be fan edits a-plenty

But obtaining fan edits is illegal and requires lots of technical knowledge.

 Neither of these things are true.

Then why haven't I ever been able to obtain any?

- Self-taught, midichlorianless Force-users.

- no armies of lightsaber-users.

- no lightsaber-using Yoda or Palpatine

- no midichlorians at all

let's create that

How would I have done the special editions?

Better lightsabers, no ronto, none of the universally hated changes, keep original colors.

You who prefer the 97 SE are in the extreme minority.  There's no reason for Disney to release it because no one will buy it.  Hell, they probably don't even know about it.

I am aware of that. It would be for the sake of completeness.

However making that kind of argument also goes against the release of theatrical versions. Yes there are more people who want the theatrical versions, but still not that many. Looking purely from a financial benefit, it would be more profitable for Disney to spend the money required for restoration into making some stand-alone film or series and get way more money out of it.

Also, aren't the negatives the '97 versions? This means that if anything, the '97 versions would be the easiest to release. Furthermore, unlike with the OOT, there's no variations within the '97 versions.

I like that there's no Sith army.

Nihilus is too powerful for my liking. He does things that should require a superweapon.

Maybe there should be a tv show taking place before TPM that shows that while Qui-Gon was with Obi-Wan in TPM, it was Yoda who Obi-Wan recieved most of his training from.

If we don't get the OOT, I'm sure that at least we'll get a version without the most hated changes. Disney has nothing to gain from shoving Hayden, Han shooting second, Jedi Rocks, Vader saying no, etc. down our throats and everything to gain from not doing so.

I wonder what the recent rumors mean for the 1997 versions.

I also wonder if we'll get the OPT (original prequel trilogy).

I wonder which special edition(s) will be available going forward. 97? 04? 11? A new edition?

Is IG88 really an EU character?

IG-88 being a droid bounty hunter is in ESB. IG-88 killing its creators and plotting a droid revolution is EU.

Yeah, that's my biggest concern as well.

I'll be happy if the colors are reasonable and the sunset close-up has a red sky.

 So, are you saying that if the film is DVNRed to shit, you won't mind as long as the colors are reasonable and the sunset close-up has a red sky?

If the colors are bad, we can fix that, quite easily, probably even just with a script that everyone can apply themselves, so as not to infringe copyright unnecessarily. But if the detail is scrubbed by DVNR, there's no getting it back.

Although, I must say that the excessive DVNR in Disney catalog releases seems to be mostly limited to animated films - Mary Poppins for example looks great on BD.

I guess years of color problems and not-red sunsets have worn me down.

Am i the only one who hates the terms youngling, padawan etc.

Nope. Not at all. I always hear "youngling" get made fun of.

Furthermore, ESB and ROTJ it seem like the Rebellion doesn't know who Yoda is. As Senators in the Republic, the Rebel leaders would know about any Jedi who were prominant in the war.

How could you get this from the two film you mentioned?  What Senators or rebel leaders or anyone in the rebellion mentioned knowing or not knowing Yoda?

At what point in TESB or ROTJ did Yoda present himself to anyone other than Luke, Ben, or R2-D2 for someone to not know whom he was?

If any of the Rebellion leaders knew Yoda, they would have mentioned to Luke that he's a little green creature who talks backwards. Luke wouldn't have been fooled by Yoda's "I'm not Yoda" act on Dagobah.

You say that you wouldn't loose sleep over the matte lines'/boxes' absence, but it sure seems like you would loose sleep over their presence.

Actually, I said I'd be fine either way. Same with the crawl.

I guess I misinterpreted you. My bad.

ESB also shows Yoda being a hermit, who meditates and lives peacefully away from civilization.  The prequels show him as essentially a public school teacher for young children, living in the big city.  It's a jarring inconsistency, and it just doesn't feel right.

Furthermore, ESB and ROTJ imply that the Rebellion doesn't know who Yoda is. As Senators in the Republic, the Rebel leaders would know about any Jedi who were prominant in the war.

Nick66 said:  That's apples & oranges. You can't compare the home video market pre-97 to now. People's expectations with regards to home video presentations are much higher.

I doubt that people's expectations include the absence of matte lines/boxes. Matte lines/boxes are part of the movie itself, not part of the home video presentation.

Nick66 said: Not quite sure what you're so angry about? Merely said I wouldn't lose any sleep over them cleaning up the matte lines/boxes.

You say that you wouldn't loose sleep over the matte lines'/boxes' absence, but it sure seems like you would loose sleep over their presence.

Trust me, Star Trek fans are. All the time.

Give me one example of a Star Trek fan complaining about a Star Trek movie having matte lines.
