And again, we need to remember what this project is about - simulating the experience of high quality viewing of the original, rather then a perfect preservation, so some of the "invisible" "fixes" will stay either way.

Is your 04/11 list complete now 005?

That's my birthday too!

"This would be like marketing the Harry Potter movies with a poster with no Harry, Ron or Hermione on it, and maybe just one of the Weasley Twins."

To put it simply (and to partially answer a concern raised by 005), we believe that we have the fullness of truth, insofar as God has revealed to man, as well as proper authority to baptize.  Remember, we believe we are a restoration of Christ's church.  As such, we believe that many have missed the opportunity to receive the gospel.  We make this available through baptism for the dead, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:29

Thanks to none's DIF project, I'm 90% sure we've caught all the differences between 2004/2011. From color shifts to blinks to jump cuts, none has scoured through the film finding minute changes. Have we caught all of the 2004 or even 1997 changes? Probably not, as we're still finding some interesting ones. But by the time Harmy has gone through all of them again, we should have them all.

Yes, let us know. The price skyrocketed in the last few weeks thanks to Lucas' instance on only one format/version being sold at a time. I'm still looking for a cheap Original Trilogy set.

2.0? That's great! I don't envy you, but I think we've found enough changes we had missed to warrant starting from scratch.

I was just going to ask if you were going to.

Looks like an actual creative decision that was made in 2004, but not in 1977 through 1997. Undo it.

Every time I think I've been astonished by some of the changes, new ones pop up.

GL: "Vader's face is too dark in this shot."

ILM: "But we were just about to fix lightsaber colors..."

GL: "This is more important. It's too dark, I want you to lighten it."

ILM: "We just finished crushing all the blacks that you insisted on..."

GL: "Just do it!"

I was just thinking, when I was a kid and thought about death, the idea of never getting to see episodes 1, 2, and 3 horrified me. Now there is nothing I feel I'd be missing out on if I were to kick it. Maybe I need to start reproducing.

I just got summoned for jury duty.

I was at a festival/flea market thing this weekend and found a booth that had nothing but framed pictures of movies with film cells from the trailers for the movie in them. They were pretty neat. He had two Star Wars ones, a small one that had frames from the SE trailer, and a bigger one that had some frames from an original trailer. The white solid logo, no original effects shots. The guy said that those were the only frames that were any good in the whole trailer, and even those we terribly red.

I still almost bought it, just for those frames. I didn't because we didn't have the money and the rest were SE effects shots. 97 Jabba was a definite "noooo" for me.

Thanks Imp. I also realized that ESBR facts doesn't have the release date on it, that may help. I'll also update the Twitter profile.

EDIT: Oh, it did have a release date. The wrong one.

The original trilogy box set has the 2004 DVD versions as well, just like the individual ones. Can't buy one without the other.

You load up the movie in your video editing program on your computer with a calibrated monitor and mess with the colors on each shot or each part of a shot until it looks right.

But since you were doing that was you planning on tweaking Lukes as he is swing it?

Its not a request.  Just wonder.

Fox blocked your YouTube! Weird how they can jump on these little videos, but Star Wars Begins and A New Hope Revisited can be on there in their entirety.

Did you look at it in full resolution?

I like Count Dooku over Darth Maul.

Would anyone please care to comment on the picture I posted here? I'd quite like to know if you guys think I should use the new one.

Yes, I'm interested in how well this works.

How do we know her husband wants widescreen?  ;-)

I love how this thread read to me last night.

"Look at the credits! Someone should recreate them!"

"Who cares about the credits?"

*a few minutes later*

"I already recreated the credits."

"LET'S DO THIS!"

Just thought it was funny how fast things come together sometimes.

The covers are terrible, yes, but that's all we were given. Also, keep in mind that the original versions are are sold as "bonus material" and they are copies of the 1993 Laserdisc that were basically burned to DVD by Lucasfilm in 2006. So instead of looking like this on your TV:



They'll look like this:



And that's if you have your settings correct! If you don't, it'll look like this!

It's not that she hasn't seen it. Heck, I watched it a couple years ago and she didn't watch it with me (a rarity). I'm just going to put it as one of the few things we don't agree on.
