So, all the original TOS FX shots weren’t lost forever? Can we get a redo on that remastering thing? 😉
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/192846/

correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t they release the original versions the blu ray discs with the remastered versions?

Right, but they didn’t have the original elements like they did for TNG, so it’s more that they cleaned up the many-generations old final edit version.

My guess is that it’s the SE, and that if something is happening, it will be announced in May

Unfortunately I think you’ll be right about it being the SE. I believe that all iterations of the SE are counterfeit versions of the OT. George Lucas is a sociopath with a double digit IQ who cruelly took away our movies, and now Disney is tragically respecting his wishes.

While I guess I agree with some of the basic general sentiment there, the words you typed read like PT writing.

Can’t we all agree that Lucas is still a terrible person?

George is putting most of the money he got from the Disney deal towards charitable causes. How about cutting the guy just a little slack?

Frevious has been saying this stuff for 10 years, he’s not about to change now. Lucas is terrible, new Star Wars is terrible, the SE did terrible things to him physically, blah blah blah.

Smart TV technical advice

Even if I had a smart TV, I wouldn’t trust it to actually run things well. My advice would be to get a cheap streaming device and call it a day.

This would be my advice as well. Although I would add, get a streaming device with an Ethernet port. Wifi just has too many opportunities for drops that cause stuttering when watching movies.

Yes, especially with Vudu.

Wampa and some final tweaks I think. We also haven’t seen the Echo Base model integrated into the movie, but he might leave that for a surprise in the final film.

Lovely!
Will you be doing a frame-by-frame comparison like last time? I loved going through those.

Adywan ends up making the Revisited ones, as there are far too many tiny changes that I can’t track them all!

SPECULATION: Could C3-B5 been a former companion of K2 that he recognizes, but who doesn’t recognize him? Maybe K2 is able to awaken memories in him to get him to help get the schematics and such.

You couldn’t pay me to watch that movie.

You could pay me, though. Hell, you could pay me to watch almost any movie if the price is right.

Name your price:
Warbler Does Dairy Queen

I think you need to lay off before this goes too far.

Wook … I think some have got that covered in the Politics thread already, LOL.

Yeah…the same guy.

I reported 3 posts in a row from ID for directly attacking Warb in Politics. shrug

Triangle Face a bounty hunter was tacking Dr Evanzen and Walrus Man before Jyn Bumps in to them…

This probably allows the two criminals to escape as Triangle face is caught the other side of the Hover Tank and has to wait then the battle kicks off allowing Dr Evanzan and walrus face to evade capture.

He may have been going to shoot just as Jyn bumps in to them or does he bump in to Jyn to cause a diversion.

This is a thread where we try to figure out what was originally shot, not make things up. Where are you even getting this stuff?

Is it all right if I ask someone who knows how to do modeling work to help Adywan make some things for Return of the Jedi Revisited? It may get the job done faster.

Adywan enjoys doing the work himself for the most part. That way everything can be up to his level of quality.

But, you can always have your modeler friend contact the FB Page if they would like to help.

It’s a shame this one’s unlikely to get the Rinzler treatment. A full in-depth play by play would be fantastic.

Whitta wrote the first draft and Jyn wasn’t even in it (or Knoll suggested her during writing). What did they start with?

I thought the pitch from Knoll was essentially the story of the rebels stealing the plans, lead by the daughter of the man who constructed it.

You’re right, I got that backwards.
