Why would they have to go back to the models made for the '97 SE? Couldn’t they just use the new and improved models used in R1?

I’m sure the programs ILM uses have progressed enough that they couldn’t plug the new models into the 97 (likely made in 95) animations. So they’d probably have to start from scratch.

The original SE Jabba they made was animated manually frame-by-frame using stuff they built for Jurassic Park.

Ghostbusters 101: 01

Erik Burnham has the amazing ability to write every character’s dialog exactly how you’d imagine the character would speak, no matter which universe the Ghostbuster is from. The movie characters have always been spot on, the cartoon versions were amazing, and even the short glimpse we get of the ATC Ghostbusters in this issue are perfectly in character.

Found this neat comparison video today!

The old Blu-ray was very blue, they corrected it somewhat. Plus, it was the safest option for the 50th, seeing as how it’s the most beloved film of the series.

The old blu-ray also shows some of the same contrast-boosting issues as the other five. I remember seeing a screenshot comparison of the shot where the Reliant and Enterprise first approach each other and the 2016 re-restoration is much more natural looking. The first six were released all at once back in '09, which probably means the same person/people were responsible for the final tweaks on all of them before the discs were pressed. There’s even a bit of dnr on that first WoK bd, it’s just nowhere near as bad as on the others thanks to the restoration.

Admittedly, the Han movie seems like rehashing as it’s a story not worth telling

You’ve used “rehash” so often you don’t even know what it means anymore…assuming you ever did.

No.

I didn’t read the number at first (just assumed it was a random big number), so I didn’t get the reference until someone pointed it out.

Now if someone could get into the game engine and extract the models they built using scans of the physical models and figure out how to adapt them into a movie 3D rendering program, that’s a different story.

I have fff200 on this.

I’ll pull the hex when I get home.

My friend is trying to convince me that Mara Jade is a big deal in the EU to everyone but me, possibly more than Thrawn. Am I crazy for Mara never standing out to me?

I pull the color from an image of the logo Mike Verta shared on his forum a while ago.

I wish the movie itself was in that expanded ratio. I wonder if they cropped it to 2.39:1.

Anyway, I think it ultimately comes down to the fact that 2.4:1 is a standard AR while 2.61:1 isn’t. Probably also to match with the other Star Wars movies.

But why bother to use the lenses used on Ben-Hur if you’re just going to crop it in the end? What was gained?

For the record i didn’t mean any disrespect i just wanted to know how the edit was coming along sheesh 😦

We have multiple sources for news that update when there is something to update.

what swerevisted wordpress,twitter and facebook?

Facebook is Adywan’s preferred update method, which is usually replicated here and the Wordpress with links automatically generated on the Twitter.

You know this, this is how you found this site.

Did anyone else notice just how much smaller the Lucasfilm logo and “a long time ago…” text was at the beginning of Rogue One compared to the saga films?

I did not. Interesting.

Nobody is talking about haircuts when they use the word “dated” to describe something.

Nobody?

Ok.

It’s literally one of the first things I think of.

You should hear my coworkers. They think I’m some sort of idiot savant.

It’s really up to Jay to create that sort of thing.

I created one years ago. Haven’t touched it.

If anyone is particularly adept at social media and is interested in helping manage our Twitter and Facebook accounts, I’d be open to it. (I mean somebody who actually works in this space or has real experience building an audience.)

I mean, we’ve got 80k on the Revisited Page, but that all came naturally; no ads, no promotion. Not sure how we can translate that to OT.

I enjoyed the Obi-Wan bits, and while I kind of expected the last shot, I didn’t expect it to affect me as emotionally as it did.

The whole episode seemed to suffer from “for some reason”, just to get where they wanted to get to close Maul’s storyline.

SPOILERS

The Holocrons can now be used to summon Jedi. For some reason.

Ezra now knows the prophecy refers to Tatooine, which hasn’t been mentioned before. For some reason.

The Holocrons can now point directly to Jedi. For some reason.

Tusken Raiders attack Ezra’s A-Wing. For some reason.

Obi-Wan can sense Ezra baking in the sun. For some reason.

Maul patiently stands there and waits for Ezra to ride off before confronting the object of the hate that has kept him alive for decades. For some reason.

Ezra respects Obi-Wan’s unspoken wish to be left alone and not help the Rebellion when he’s constantly begging for more training. For some reason.

No one asks how Maul died, if Obi-Wan is still alive, what really happened out there. For some reason.

Yet another opportunity passes where Obi-Wan could introduce himself as “Ben” to give himself some excuse to say he hasn’t gone by the name of “Obi-Wan” for decades. For some reason.

I felt we needed a couple episode arc for this. But then other people will feel like they’d been strung along for two episodes to end like it did. Can’t please everyone.

Let’s be clear: none of the things that have caused delays were created specifically to delay the release of this edit. Most, if not all, of the things that have been taking the longest were planned from the beginning. Delays were inevitable.

“The danger is clear, the law is clear, the need for my executive order is clear.”

Is it though?
