Please don’t judge me when I say that I hope the Revisited versions of the OT won’t contradict the official versions of the PT. Then again, since the OT is so sacred to many, most of the changes made to them are aesthetic, and not story-related.

Some of Adywan’s changes to RotJ may depend on what he can change in the PT. I’m still sure they’ll fit better than how much the PT already contradicts the OT.

“Disney Will Never Alter or Restore Original Star Wars Trilogy.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has officially confirmed that they have no plans on messing with the cuts and intend to leave the movies the way that George Lucas did when he revisited them in the 90s.”

There are so many things wrong with that statement.

During the search for when Adywan said he might reconsider it, I found this from two years ago:

Does anyone know if Adywan will let Obi-Wan ignite his lightsaber after Vader does, just like in all other versions?

That Untitled Fairy Tale that was supposed to come out this year is off the schedule. For what it’s worth.

Shouldn’t Vader already have his lightsaber on, because he was expecting Obi-Wan?

Adywan has stated this is to mirror the duel on Mustafar. I believe this is a possible reversion in the HD version.

Star Wars is no longer in the Top 10 Domestic Gross list.

It’s hard for people to change their opinion of how they voted when their person lost, since they can’t be disappointed by the work the person isn’t doing in the job they didn’t get.

What do they expect, people to say “Oh yeah, Hillary lost, I would have voted for Jill Stein if I had to do it over”?

THIS JUST IN:

People who voted for someone probably likely to vote for them again.

Film at 11.

TV’S FRINK THE SCIENCE GUY

What are some of the things in ESB that didn’t get fixed?

Let’s wait until we have a final change list before we start pointing out what Ady missed.

Are blu-Ray players capable of turning on the TV on their own? The TV was not on when I went to eject the disc, but when turning on the Player, the TV turned on, and nobody else in the house had the remote.

yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Electronics_Control

samsung calls it anynet+ i think, and there other other brandings for it.

JEDIT: i hate the tech myself, and turn it off when possible.

I didn’t know it was part of the HDMI too. It was my first thought, but I knew that some TV’s had a version of this.

Your TV can be configured to turn on or switch to the active input. So yes.

So the only thing left is the Wampa and then that’s it, right?

Sure, why not?

Sure, a friendly duel.

Mocata said:

Darth Vader was supposed to be his first and last name right?

Since Obi-Wan talks about him as being called that before he went to the Dark Side and then calls him “Darth” when they’re being friendly, that’s the theory.

also wanting their new films to be of a standard, feel and quality more akin to the Original Trilogy, than the Prequels.

But it eventually ended up being worse than PT. TFA “plot” is a complete trainwreck and any PT plot seems like a “masterpiece” in comparison. It takes a lot more than rehashing stuff from OT and randomly throwing it together in order to come close to OT quality.

Cool, thanks.

Maybe a screenshot comparison would show the necessity of doing this?

Alderaan said:

It’s even more illogical when you consider the story of Star Wars has been written by many different people–sometimes not in collaboration with each other-- and has a million plot holes and retcons.

Again, it’s several people’s jobs to try to keep that from happening in the Disney canon. There is an official canon. People accepting that is more logical than having a head canon.

I called Lucasfilm and I asked them if they monitor fan restorations and they said no

It’s ok, this guy called LFL.

“Canon” means official canon as far as I’m concerned.

If you care about ‘canon’ of a fictional universe, you’re either a teenager, or I feel sad for you.

I’m glad its several people’s jobs to keep track of these things then.

Can you ever just let people have fun?

I don’t go into that thread, so I appreciate you bringing this to us.

We’re talking about Fox’s Blu-rays of 1-6 vs Disney’s digital copies. Fox is going to release the same discs every second until 2020 is over.

As for being the same stock, I doubt they have warehouses full of printed discs that every few years they put into a different case. And it’s not like they recall a store’s stock, rip open all the sets, put them in different cases, then send them back out. I imagine this is Fox having finalized disc images that they don’t have the rights to modify any more, so they just reprint them over and over.

To be fair, the idea of wanting a 35mm print of the movie that led the revolution to help kill film in order to properly preserve an end-to-end-digital presentation is kind of funny.

My friend confirmed the 2011 changes. If a 4K exists, it wasn’t there.
