005, are you slipping us secret information? I was sure Ady was capping Revisited at 720p to maintain quality throughout since he wanted the option to zoom in some scenes in the PT.
Wait, you’re right, confused “HD” with 1080p again.
No, a 1080p version would require a reconstruction, which is in the plans. I believe any sort of dodgy aspect ratio would have been in the XVID version, which doesn’t have all the changes anyway.
We’ll have to see.
I mean, he’s not replacing Porkins, but maybe while they’re doing new shots for ROTJR they can do some inserts for the extended TIE reveal.
I would say over 900 instances of visual differences, plus how many ever audio differences. Didn’t we have a breakdown of how many frames were different at one point?
I like the letter, maybe it would be good to sneak a number in there about the extent of the changes? Like- "today is the 40th anniversary of a milestone in filmmaking. The current version has over 150 distinct differences
LOL
Those are both illegitimate. IIRC, the “Limited Edition” was never sold in a set, and not in skinny packs.
Yes they were, in 2008. I saw them in fye and Best Buy countless times before they were pulled before the BD release. There was a prequel set and an original set, the latter containing repackaged versions of the 2006 DVD sets. That aside the 2006 sets was also available in a tin case at Best Buy when they first came out (I know cause I have it).
I was not aware of this. I ignored the entire thing, honestly. It is funny that a “Limited Edition” release was repackaged a couple times.
I’m glad that you see it so simply and fairly because that is exactly what it is not.
He thanked the man for not investigating him while firing him for investigating something he was convinced was worth jailing Hillary over. And his opinion changed in the last week about his usefulness. If Trump is going to fire everyone who is incompetent, he’s got a lot of work to do.

So it’s just coincidence that the man who led the “Lock Her Up” chants fires the guy who was running the investigation for doing it poorly on the cusp of the Russia investigation going full steam ahead, while mentioning in the letter firing the man that he greatly appreciated not being investigated himself. Cool, cool.
I like the short bit being an image leading to the longer letter.
The longer letter would have to go on the front page of the site.
Right. I was going to ask Ady if I could RT it from the SWR account, I’ll ask about FB too.

I thought we weren’t allowed to have socks.
“You’re not being hard enough.”
“You were unfair to her. You’re fired.”
Crowd still chanting “Lock Her Up!”
I never thought about replacing the Lambda with the cargo ship from R1. Thinking about it, the problems would be the full size sets. We see Han going up the ramp and the cockpit which would take impossible amounts of work to make match R1. Since we never see the interior of the Sentinel and it looks like a stretched out Lambda, with a couple of wide shot model replacements it would fit right in.
As for ship classes being seen in R1 and never seen again, I would argue that each one of those is a specific class that wouldn’t be needed in any other movie. Save for a cargo shuttle of course, but it seems like RotJ was just saving money by using the same model/set for Vader’s shuttle, the Emperor’s shuttle, and the cargo shuttle. I wonder if the Sentinel was introduced in ANH SE for an eventual replacement of Tydirium in a future SE but the idea was abandoned. Who knows?
Is it that they’re using a knife to cut individual strands of spaghetti?
I hope to have a very clear set of instructions on how to get it once the time comes.
They know the audience wants the originals. I think the fact that when Fox released one movie from each of their first 75 years in a box set had a movie with 2004 CG in their 1977 spot is appalling. The distributors should care, the owners should care, the creators should care, historians should care. We need to convince them to preserve the original for history, not just for our childhoods.
Not just the accomplishments themselves though. The actual workers and labourers who physically made it happen don’t deserve to have their hard work erased.
Indeed. Some people even have Academy Awards on their mantles that are utterly meaningless now.

Let’s see it.
I think the time for suggestions has passed.
I’m pretty sure Leia just hands Wicket a rice cake.
Oops
Looking forward to the hanger matte replacements. Maybe we can sponsor effects like that in the future. The similar matteastrophe in Return of The Jedi has bugged me since 1983.
