Hey look, you can get the 6-Disc DVD set that includes the GOUT from Amazon for only $310…and free Prime shipping!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=dra_a_ms_mr_hn_xx_P1400_1000?tag=dradisplay-20&ascsubtag=3bc20f423c91737175e22556e17a66d5_S

I didn’t know that set had the GOUT. I thought the only time those DVDs were released in one package was the rare Best Buy tin.

I have the tin case set. Anyways as Fang confirmed yes that set does have the GOUT sets just in slimmer cases and would be the final time, along with the PT, the SW films were in a DVD only set.

Quick question. The DVDs that accompanied the 2013 BD reissues. Are those new DVDs based off the 2011 BDs or just the 2004 DVDs repackaged??

I remember reading confirmation somewhere that they are indeed the 2011 versions.

I was under the impression the DVD’s were just 2004 because who would notice?* Interesting.

Mon Mothma & Bail Organa seem pretty chill about him having a Jedi friend in R1.

Wha?

Bail is like “I guess I should send someone to get my Jedi friend.”

About a year ago now, a guy called up to see if I could cut his hair “Like Obi-Wan Kenobi from Episode 2”. I said “No prequels.” and hung up.

I finally caught up on this last night, man that made my heart warm to see the rebel fleet show up! hard to believe they can fit in another whole season… 😃

Still plenty to do before Scarif. I’m just interested to see how the Jedi are dispatched. It’s going to be hard to explain how Luke is special if there’s a grown-up Padawan & his Padawan who just left.

“You’re strong with the Force? That sucks, you just missed a couple of Jedi, one around your age*. They could probably teach you a thing or two.”

*two or three days older

Yes, that will certainly be interesting to see how they handle it. having cool Jedi around that the Rebels are aware of (and even Princess Leia to some extent - she did meet them in Season 2 right?) certainly make some behavior in the OT seem like they suffered from mass amnesia.

Now that I think about it, no one seems to care he’s a Jedi. Only Yoda is like “when gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be”. Mon Mothma & Bail Organa seem pretty chill about him having a Jedi friend in R1. The only other time anyone really mentions it is when Han says Luke is having delusions of grandeur.

We’re all good, considering that was brought up a year ago and we all had a good laugh at it.

What’s funny about it?

I dunno what conversation this has spun from, but maybe someone said “California” when they meant “Florida”?

Handman said:

I could visit California for a few weeks, probably, but there’s no way on earth I’d want to live there. I accidentally said this to someone from California and suffered the consequences of a poor first impression.

Why?

Handman said:

For pretty much the same reasons I wouldn’t want to live in Texas or Florida.

Immigrants?

Sure. Someone could do it. With all of the fan effect updates for Star Trek, I’m honestly kind of surprised no one has just replaced all of the effects themselves.

No.

Can someone answer a question for me that I cant seem to find an answer to, even on Google. I feel stupid asking it becasue I should know it already. Im a bit confused when it comes to the term “non-anamorphic.” I often hear that the GOUT version is non-anamorphic, yet it looks no different than any other widescreen offering of SW.

This exact issue is part of my blog post on aspect ratios: https://doubleofive.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/aspect-ratios-a-primer/

Another “leaked hint” ?

(scroll to page 3)

https://www.primefocustechnologies.com/sites/default/files/files-uploaded/4K_Remastering_Upconversion_Audio_Services_Factsheet.pdf

They’re referring here to the OT remastered by Lowry Digital. What stands out is the fact that they’re talking about “grain reduction and dust and dirt removal”, which wouldn`t be necessary if they would’ve to remaster the 2004/2011 versions of the films.

We pretty much know the now infamous Lowry 4K scan is of the negative, which would be the '97. The '04 version is based off a 2K scan of that negative.

Confirmed by the fact that you can see the 97 Jabba tail in this wipe.

“I, Mudd” is one of my favorite episodes of TOS, mostly because it’s also ridiculous.

If CBS can pay for The Next Generation to be rebuilt entirely from the raw camera negatives, they can pick the original wipes up and put them back in.

And yes, every single wipe was redone, most of them with slightly different timing.

This film was intrinsically bad idea.

IMPSCUM COMES FROM THE FUTURE TO WARN US OF BAD MOVIES

I’m intrigued by the concept of a “What If” arc, but I think I’ll tire of it if it goes on too long.

In other news, I still had the Hulu page up for AoS up when my wife got up yesterday. “You’re still watching SHIELD?”, she asked, her voice echoed by pretty much everyone else on the planet.

I’ve really liked the last couple of episodes. Looks like we’re leaning into Rogue One with this last one. Once R1 comes out on Blu, I’m hoping we can do a comparison to see if this fleet is the exact fleet at Scarif.

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but will ESB:R have a track with pop-up changes like the ANH:R DVD? I found this useful, especially when showing it to my kids.

Ady has said that the changes in ESB:R are far too numerous for a pop-up to keep up with. I do think there will be a comparison image gallery. If Ady doesn’t make it, I’m pretty sure someone (005?) will.

If Ady provides the split screen for me, but even then I’d miss a bunch of stuff. I think Ady is going to provide me the pictures like he did for ANHR and I’ll just host them on our SWR Google Photos.

Every single wipe was redone for the SE, so that’s a lot of branching for OUT.

How long will I hold out not buying a Nintendo system I’ll play for a month then never touch again?

A couple months, maybe.

The video from the ‘How It Should Have Ended’ people for Rogue One:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjR71XpAu0I

That was really bad. I guess because Rogue One was . . . really good.

That was really bad, even for them. “Just shoot them” is really lazy, and they use it multiple times.

Handman said:

I still have every VHS tape we’ve ever owned, except the few that were eaten up, I don’t understand why people get rid of them.

Space? A desire to live in your house and not convert it to tape storage?

(You do realize this is a joke mocking the “worth $10k” fakery where people were posting them for a ridiculous amount of money, but no one was buying)

Handman said:

Plus, Coruscant was modified in 2004 with a few extra buildings.

Oh yeah. I’m a dummy.

This transition is the only part someone would have to recreate:

I’m not sure the current wipe from Naboo to Coruscant covers up anything needed for the spire-wipe.

Last time I saw Pablo comment, he said this:

@pablohidalgo said:

As far as I know, there’s only one person who could make this happen and he hasn’t seemed all that interested.

He’s apparently shifting this onto Lucas. Which doesn’t make sense if Fox and Disney are meeting with Verta on his restoration. But if they had one of their own, they wouldn’t be meeting with Verta saying “we have one, thanks.” I guess we’ll find out at Celebration.

He didn’t pitch his meeting as an offering of the unaltered version of Star Wars.

What exactly was the situation with that meeting?

Did it ever even happen?

I have no idea if it happened, I just know that the way he described it seemed like something that could have easily been misinterpreted as having little to do with Star Wars. It’s hard to say though.

It happened, and Disney said it wasn’t up to them and set a meeting with Fox.
