I'm escorting aPPmaSter to the general suggestion threads, I like what he's done and think he can take over things like the RotJ Wishlist I used to run. But that's not specifically Revisited.

I can say that the donation drive went very well, though! We thank you for your generosity, we'll all benefit from it soon enough!

I was thinking why don't we give the films versions numbers. :)

The originals would obviously be 1.0

Any changes before 97 would be 1.x. All the audio mixes for ANH could be 1.1,1.2, etc.

97SE would be 2.0

2004SE is 3.0

2011SE is 4.0

And I would argue the 70mm ESB should be considered 0.9.

 

What do you think? :P

There is another related species of cyborg (which I shan't spoil with details here) who are basically insane children who kill for fun.

Trust me, doubleo, by midway through Series 3, you'll wish Rose Tyler had died during "Doomsday"; by the end of Series 4, you'll be wishing she'd died at the end of "The Parting of the Ways" rather than Nine...

I'm glad lucasfilm didn't bother to do any cleaning of the deleted scenes. At least that way people like MagnoliaFan can start from essentially the raw materials with no Lucasfilm screw ups when doing any fan restoration/tinkering (as opposed to something like Harmy's despecialized edition which can never be totally rid of the crushed blacks as they are part of the source material).

I'd ask you to post your suggestions, but you already have!

Later, inside Obi-Wan's flashback of AOTC we get to see Anakin's flashback to how much he liked podracing, Kitster, and his mom. A little odd and felt out of place.

Inceptioned?

Tell me more.

So my boss gave me his 97SE Fullscreen VHS set, and when i told my wife about it, she recognized it as the set she watched the first time she saw the Trilogy.

My wife has never seen the OUT. I fail.

Hmm... suddenly your wife doesn't seem so hot anymore.


*shrug*

LOL. I'm not sure how to do this? Can you stack them from the start of the fade till it comes out, like I did with Greedo? Speaking of which, I think I'm missing a couple of frames from the 2011 Greedo.

Just wondering what you guys think of some of the ESB changes I listed here:

http://swmasteredition.blogspot.com/search/label/ESB

aPPmaSTer said:

I noticed that most of changes I mentioned on my site have actually been implemented by adywan :) Personally, I'm very relieved to see the Jabba scene gone completely, as well as the fixed arm on the floor, and the new Alderaan approach is awesome. That's just a few picks out of the many many things I adore about SW: Revisited.

What do you guys think of some of the other changes I mentioned that weren't implemented, like Obi-Wan saying, "I wanted you to have this..." instead of, "Your father wanted you to have this...", etc.?

The whole list can be found here:

Still not sure why the Tardis and the Doctor weren't sucked through the crack with as much easy as everyone else.

Maybe there should be some kind of marking to denote the moderators, so that newbs know that they should really pay attention if they get a warning from particular people. Like their names show up in a color, or MODERATOR written under their avatar.

Since we have more than the 2/3, it might be good to start that up. It also would keep some of us from pretending to be mods. ;-)

Just finished "Army of Ghosts / Doomsday". Great stuff there. I loved the interaction between the Daleks and Cybermen. Even only watching the new series, I thought they were a bit too similar, seeing them try to communicate to one another was priceless.

And once again, the Doctor saves the day without using weapons. I love that. He outsmarts things, using all kind of timey-wimey science, but still, its better than him just blowing stuff up (not that he doesn't do that sometimes).

And losing Rose was heartbreaking. I've only met the Runaway Bride at the closing of the episode, I already don't like her.

FANTASTIC!

I just came from the shop. I went there to buy the new Queen DVD and I suddenly found myself buying the 9BD set for 100 Euros :-(

Found yourself? Did you black out? ;-)

 

I have a serious problem - if the salesperson is a beautiful girl, I switch to a mode, where I say yes to everything :)

OK, I just bought the bonus discs from a friend who didn't want them.

A friend who wanted the movie discs but not the bonus discs?  Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

The Cheezberger network agrees with us.

EDIT: link broken? Anyway, it was the picture of the inside of the case with the OT main characters circled, saying "I thought these guys were important."

We have the website in my sig. It's got a Paypal button. :-D

Harmy said:

Might it actually be a thing to consider making a separate list for each release? Original Release and re-release alterations, 97SE, 2004SE, 2011SE.

There we go, a separate list! I want to include them, just not there! I can move the 81 stuff over there also.

In my opinion... this thread is no longer the solution, but has become part of the problem.  I mean, I think the intent of this thread is/was working, but when it pops up now... it just reminds people of the guy we're all ignoring.

Watching the extras of the fore-mentioned Doctor Who DVD I discovered that the guy supplying the effects for their special edition was none other than<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmh8xeX6SG0" target="_self"> farmergeddon71</a> so effectively not only have they put out a special edition with the original but they did the equivalent of getting Adywan to do their special edition for them and paid him too.

Even the preservation team is comprised largely by expert fans.

Lucas you are doing this so wrong.

Maybe you could include the differences in the 70mm cut of Empire for completeness sake, at least those we have visuals of.
