The SE has a couple new scenes, enhanced effects in others, changes a piece of dialog about looking like a "terrorist" (changed to "hippie", I think) and replacing the guns of the federal agents with walkie-talkies.
I'm not an ET fan either, but that's a little much.
None of them are, unfortunately.brash_stryker said:
As far as ROTJ is concerned, that remains to be seen. I don't know if they're even of sufficient quality to be integrated.....the prequel ones certainly aren't
They never mention it in the series, but I've always assumed it was short for George O Bluth Jr as well. When he does a magic show, they announce him as "A Magician called 'gob'", but everyone else says "jobe", which is how they tried to make his name unique, I suppose.xhonzi said:
But I think I learned someting last night- GOB is Jobe's initials? George O. Bluth, Jr.? Is Jobe an odd pronunciation of GOB? Does anyone ever actually call him GOB, or do you just see it in print? I don't think I had caught on that Jobe's name was really George Jr.
So, someone at MF.com posted a frame of the Fett cartoon from the Holiday Special. Anyone find it?
What is this, someone tried to insert actual human emotion into the Battle of Endor? I can see why it was cut!adywan said:
Original Trilogy:
This bickering about not needing Lucas to release the OUT is pointless. The answer isn't, and should never be, "let the fans do it". The original (award-winning) cuts of Star Wars should be available at every Walmart and known to every person. It should not be recreated by hand by a handful of fans and shared as a "fan edit" 97% of the population doesn't know exists. IT'S STAR WARS. ON BLU-RAY. It should have all of the versions.
Whatever will your children do?! People HEADBUTTING one another?! ;-)Bobby Jay said:
Oh, and AOTC is definitely uncut in the UK.
I would not buy it. The originals won Academy Awards for Visual Effects. Just give us the original off of an IP and we'll be set. Every wipe was redone in the SE, which I can spot every time now. So I don't even want an "original" cut using the modified negatives. I want the original version, with all of its award-winning flaws.
Not that the wipes and snowspeeder recomposites are bad, I'm not saying that. I'm saying THAT'S WHAT THE SPECIAL EDITION SHOULD HAVE BEEN, an alternate cut that fixed the flaws. But it should have never replaced the originals.
But its in the clouds....Bingowings said:
Planning permission has been Ady's main obstacle.
I love it.
Any announcer or interviews, or just clips?adywan said:
Star Wars Spoofs... YAWWWWN. Just clip after clip. Lame
Also, can anyone get me the frame that corresponds with the original jump cut for the comps?
Let's leave foreign crawls out of this, unless you want to find every possible crawl from every possible version out there. ;-)none said:

Right. Now were the German/foreign language crawls always a different starfield cropping or is this specific to the SE and this thread is still an unanswered question.
Finding the R2 jump cut without specifically looking for it immediately validates this entire project for me.

^ Yup seems like the German was not changed.
Don't say that! Now I want them! But I'm only going to buy them used!adywan said:
If you are a fan of the OT and love deleted scenes and special features then this set is for you.
Have we done a comparison of the German crawl with the US crawl?
Wow, more moderators! This is pretty cool!
Wow, he called us "tea partiers". I'm not sure what to think about that.
And nice to see the DVDActive pages get updated.
Seriously? Wow.FremenDar said:
I was in a coma 10 years ago and only found out about it the following February 2002. Very devastating for the news then and now.
So, are we saying this jump cut has been fixed for the Blu-ray?
I was in our chapel service at the Bible College I went to. Towards the end, one of the professors stood up and said "I just heard that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center". Honestly, I'm not sure if it was the way it was phrased or the way I heard it, but I imagined that a commuter plane had gone off course and crashed into the building, no harm done except for the few people on the plane. It wasn't until an hour or so later, I was at a friend's house and they got a call to turn on the news. All that could be seen was smoke in the city. It was then I realized that it wasn't the plane that should have been the focus, but the building. By that point they both were gone, so I went from "terrible accident" to "deliberate attack on my country" in the span of a minute.
I still don't fully know what to think or feel, 10 years later.
This was a great idea when it was first mentioned as a possiblity, and it still is. It also shows color changes, so we can PROVE that they haven't done any work on that.
I'm going to need all of those frames for comparisons. A good change for me, the 2004 version just kind of stops for a really long time.
Alright, I'm tired of everything being labelled as a "(YEAR Change)". I need better terminology. I'm thinking something like:
YEAR Fix (garbage mattes, etc)
YEAR Addition (brand new scenes, elements)
YEAR Preservation (redone wipes)
What do you think? I think I still need "change", but not sure how to classify everything.
