STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

Personally, I think I’ll stick with the MKV and mount the DVD ISO for the special features. Having broke the external Blu-ray burner I bought for ESBR before burning anything has limited my disc options. I’ll probably buy a replacement before too long. Discs allow for easier sharing with less-technologically-capable friends.

Digging the retro TMP style poster. The new trailer has me more optimistic now. And do my eyes deceive me, or was that an NX class starship making an appearance?

Your eyes kind of deceive you? It’s a ship whose design leaked earlier, kind of mid-point between NX (which is seen as a model in Robocop’s office) and JJprise.

AT DISNEYLAND RIGHT NOW

WAITING FOR MY TWO DAUGHTERS TO FINISH THEIR JEDI TRAINING SO THEY CAN TAKE ON DARTH VADER KYLO REN AND SOME GOOFY SEXED UP VILLIAN FROM A CARTOON

LATER THEY WILL GET PICTURES WITH KYLO AND WITH CHEWBACRA

That sounds like an incredible experience, Mr. Frink Computer. I’m sure they’re having the time of their lives.

Sock Admittance

Are we allowed to know if the person who was TV Frink’s Computer was a sock? I’m curious if it was a regular or some rando.

This was a safe place for people to admit who they played in the past, I think anyone actually admitting they made a sock after The Purge would risk a ban hammer by posting here. I’m sure the mods could come and drop a crap ton of revelations on us though.

Wouldn’t it be cool if they got their act together and put up the Ewok movies and the Ewoks and Droids animated series?

Or, even better, the OUT!

[sitcom studio laughter]

I think we’ll get at least 6 out of the 7 films on there.

I’ll be surprised if any of the Star Wars films make it on there, but ANH is definitely not going to be there. I wonder how Indiana Jones’ distribution deal works. We haven’t had a new release of those since the buyout.

Idea: Preserving the original trilogy 2 - Drafting a manifesto

I suppose if it’s possible with the wizard of oz however, it should be possible for star wars.
And now for a question only a noob would ask, why wasn’t something this sophisticated done for Star Wars years ago, even if Lucas only would allow the special edition to be the cut distributed, surely FOX had enough power to retain an 8k master copy of the original version.
I mean due to lucas, there may be no money in it but why wasn’t that done for archival purposes?

Back in 1994 when the SE project started, digital scanning wasn’t what it is today. Only the shots that were going to have digital bits added were physically cut out of the negative and scanned at 2k. The entire negative wasn’t scanned digitally until preparation for the 2004 DVD, and then only the 97 SE at 1080p.

Trying to maintain people activities running on a 2.8 Ghz processor will account for a few slip ups.

I’m guessing the “no socks” ruling has been abolished? You are much funnier without a sock to play with Mr. Frink, and a bit more creative from time to time too … LOL.

This is not Frink. It’s someone looking for a ban.

The President of TFN has responded to our threats of taxing their trade routes in order to convince them to build the wall:

We will not be intimidated by you. Our midichlorian count is too high for you to overpower us. Our battle droid army will outsmart your computer president. We will march on your forum and reformat everything. You have been warned.
