Just another voice to back up this ^.

While the PT isn’t as great as the rest of the saga, a lot of us here do consider it canon and part of the full Star Wars story. So even though it’s understandable that some want to ignore it, please at least don’t make any changes that contradict it!

The PT did it first.

Examples?

Examples of what the Prequels changed from the Original Trilogy? You can find those on many other threads.

I’m sure there are very legitimate explanations for them.

Info: 'Kong - Skull Island' (Shifting Aspect Ratios) on HBO...
Time

Apparently HBO is showing the shifting AR version of Kong: Skull Island, much to the director’s chagrin:

Jordan Vogt-Roberts @VogtRoberts
Dear @HBO. Based on twitter, it seems you’re playing the AIRPLANE edit of Kong: Skull island that shifts aspect ratios. I begrudgingly made this version to preserve my original framing in certain sequences. Why are you playing this compromised instead of the original? Ugh…

Todd Vaziri @tvaziri
Confirmed.

While it’s apparently not the director’s preference, it seems worth preserving. Just an FYI for those with the tools and interest.

ROTS doesn’t have a single outdoor location shot in the entire movie. It was filmed entirely on a soundstage, which is why the outdoor scenes look incredibly fake.

Oh yeah?

Could we not have this argument here? It has nothing to do with anything.

Press release on TPM 2001 TV Premiere:
http://ncam.wgbh.org/about/news/pr_11202001
Aired with “R2-D2: Under the Dome”

They are hard to find as they are over shadowed by easier, equal or better, official home releases. Working backward, the 2005 broadcasts would all match the 2004 DVDs. A digital capture might be slightly better resolution, if one surfaces. The 2002 versions would match what was aired on USA Networks through the 1990s, based off the SE. TPM 2001 Premiere would have matched the DVD release which came out months before. Can’t recall off-hand if the ESB tv premiere has surfaced, but versions from the next year from Australia can be found on the 'spleen.

What constitutes a better home release?

The fact that the TV versions would be the most recent home video version broadcast over the air (or cable) then recorded on VHS, which would be a multi-generational loss of quality, when you could just find the equivalent home video release.

With a version like King James, you have to read the passage and then stop now and then to say “in other words, it means [this]”. As opposed to the Bible straight up speaking for itself as to what it means and not having to retranslate archaic words.

One of my Bible College professors was really lazy with his correspondence courses. While the entire program was built on the NIV, this correspondence course I took was apparently something he found that used the KJV. A lot of the questions were asking what this archaic word means in this verse, when my NIV just had the modern word for it.
