David Bowie's Space Oddity as a children's book. Figured there were a few out there who might like it.
I love this Episode IV sticker:

I don't have Empire yet. I was actually waiting on the paperback, especially since Rinzler said on his blog that it wouldn't have SE pictures at all after someone (hint, hint) pointed it out to him. I'll probably grab the error version from the library again sometime to give it the same treatment, and actually scan the pictures from Star Wars instead of using my iPhone camera.msycamore said:
Great work on the photo-gallery that covers the revisionism in the making of book, you should make one on the making of Empire as well.
I think I caught up. No labels yet, but I think I have the hoth battle in the right order.
Isn't that what the LFL did? ;-)Harmy said:
Yeah, some of the Garbage mattes weren't possible to remove without crushing the blacks to unwatchable levels.

Darth Maul was my idea...put me down as 'DirtyWookie' or 'Geeza' if you like!

I meant to say, "Just something we missed before you were done with RotJ." ;-)msycamore said:

Now that someone pointed it out, I can see the slight digital movement added to Luke's skiff while they are waiting for the sentencing. No big deal, just something we missed.

I was waiting for you to go beyond my VeggieTales knowledge. There it is.Pennsylvania Jones said:
Pizza Angel, please come to me.
Tomato Sauce and Cheese so gooey.
Pizza Angel, I'm on my knees.
You're my number one pie from Sicily!
The top one. I don't know what it was with LFL in the 90's but they could not make younger versions of OT characters for anything (see: TPM Yoda).avoidz said:
^^ I can't decide which fake Jabba looks worse.
Then why stagger the releases?none said:
Gregorich from the Home Theater Forum notes that the discs are Region Free.
Or identical to the ones on Hoth. It's not a bad idea at all.Bingowings said:
There is the line in ESB where it's explained that they are having trouble adapting the speeders for the cold.
This suggests to me that they aren't purpose built for the new base so it might be an idea to have some slightly differently looking 'jungle' Speeders escort the Falcon to it's landing site on Yavin IV.
So, riddle me this. They scan the 1997 SE into their computers at 1080p, do the work, color correct it, etc. Alright, but it looks like they must have rescanned the original Jabba plates, because they moved Jabba around. It looks like they used the same Han going over the tail that they did in 97, but they redid Han's hands and shadows and such. Does this mean they had some of the actual files from 97, or did they re-rotoscope that whole scene and just so happened to have Han move over the tail identically to 97?
Just pointing out that a lot of work was done in the 04 SE that no one gets credited for. Between recreating this shot that took the original guys over a year to do and tracking the new extensions to the detention block, a bunch of people busted their butts over this movie and didn't get added to the credits. Most fan editors have more respect than that and credit people who made suggestions.
Seriously. With today's modern effects, he could have been a lot more lifelike and had a third arm the whole time. But no, we get what amounts to "shout outs" to his description in the books by only having them in select shots.doubleKO said:
Sam Rockwell's version should have been like that :(
Yay! My favorite part!Harmy said:
BTW. Picture comparison is in the works :-)
I thought of that too, I just figured since the thread is dead, it could be brought off topic to the new, but very similar topic.TV's Frink said:
No - this one would be specific to two competing choices, while the other one is a random collection of Q's and A's.
This is why you don't have a new thread thread. ;-)
No more changes, except they recomposited a bunch of stuff. Those count, guys.TV's Frink said:

I'm up to the part where the group frees Puzzle.
Spoiler Alert! :p
Wouldn't that be the already existing "Q&A Thread"?
Fixed that for you, Harmy!Harmy said:
Those are the shots Lucasfilm unfortunately felt the need to mess up.
I'm pretty sure more people will notice the milky white substance over the entire film than crushed blacks. TVs will be adjusted all over the world to bring the white down to manageable levels.
I wonder if things like this will be fixed:
The top is the GOUT laser, which they redid digitally in 1997, which somehow lost ALL ITS COLOR in 2004. This does not make sense, my friends.
I'm pretty sure that more tweaks would equal more work for Harmy to do. The lack of compression would be far outweighed by the changes it'll take us another year to find.
I know I just quoted myself, but its moments when I stop to think about things like that that I envy you, Anchorhead. I can't help but think of the prequels instead of making my own version in my head, but you don't even look at ESB or RotJ... *exasperated exhale*doubleofive said:
Thanks. It was one of those surprising things that may have actually been planned out from the beginning, but ends up not really. Like Owen being Obi-wan's brother, still makes more sense to me than step-families in a galaxy far far away. Owen would be mad at Obi-wan for not only getting his friend Anakin killed (I think they would have been childhood friends), but pawns this baby off on him and disappears in the desert.Anchorhead said:
Thank you, and I genuflect at your knowledge. ;-)
I just noticed he mentions the date every time. I'm pretty sure we know when its coming out.Bingowings said:

relax georgec that's just the youtube video that's not how the blu-rays will sound like when the final blu-rays come out on September 16th.
Can I quote you on that?
