Maybe someone working on the site decided that the Blu-ray was too crappy looking to show, so they did some adjustments on the sly. Perhaps Lucas himself didn’t realize just how bad it looked on the disc so for the online segments they applied a LUT to make it better. Who knows, Lucasfilm is anything but consistent in their decision making.

I’m imagining some guy on their website team. “Jesus, what the hell is wrong with the colors on these clips they sent me? Well, we can fix that.”

But with that said Even though I would like a decent release, I can see the validity of the special edition version.
I am not someone who craves CGI or anything like that. But as Mike put it, “The Suspension of Disbelief” is what counts. And my Belief is Suspended by that shot.

So you want a special edition, but one that fixes the things YOU want. Verta was going to do that at one point, fixing errors instead of just preserving the original work.

This find from the Legacy thread is something that we may have discussed before:

BTW the blooper he points out in: https://vimeo.com/98398821
Also occurs in ANHR, I wonder if it will be fixed in AHRSE.

Also looks like the docking bay isn’t long enough to have the entire Falcon in it. Maybe a job for the Falcon model?

^ I agree with everything you said, except wanting to see more. I’ll check out the next season, but I really feel I got everything I wanted out of this and feel no need to find out anymore about what was/is going on.

Same here. Like most cool short series, I wish this was an anthology show in the same vein. I don’t particularly care to find out the answers to any of the mysteries in S1.

Super jazzed for RDR2.

Me too!!! I LOVED the first one, wished they’d even update it and let me enjoy it on my PS4.

I saw this morning that they’re going to put RDR1 on whatever streaming service it is that lets you play PS3 games on your PS4, which will also make it available on PC? I’m not a Sony guy, so I’m not sure how that works.
