I think the prequels will be forgotten about soon enough. Most people already really don't care anymore, Star Wars fans or not. I also think Disney will just kind of let them be forgotten as well
the added scene with Bigs in the hanger. Plus pretty much the whole Death Star battle too
jabba would be the big one to look for. If it's 2011 then there will be an extra rock covering R2D2.
I don't see what the point of them releasing the 1997 version as the original version. It wouldn't really win anybody over and it would just upset a lot of people
that's odd. It's weird that Disney would go to such a dated SE. Maybe someday there'll be a proper release of the OUT
looks like it is the special edition then. That's a shame. But which version? 2011?
But if they're cutting certain scenes and keeping others in order to make some kind of partial SE then no one would be happy. I don't think disney would do that
Imagine all those people that paid 75 dollars to get in and they find themselves watching "The Next Karate Kid"
That is true, but i've heard that you can tell by the colors that it is not the 2011 version or 2004 version.
I also wondered, why would disney create a scan of the 1997 version and then go back and re-add all of the future changes (i.e. Vader saying "NOOOOOOOO" in Jedi)? They can't release the 97 version because CG Jabba looks laughably bad, but I also can't see them re-adding stupid things in like the rock in front of R2D2. I should also say that i'm really not too clear on exactly whats happening so if I missed something feel free to correct me.

Nightmare scenario:
The 2011 Blu Ray set is the affordable release.
That would be terrible, but I really don't think they'd do that. The amount of people willing to shell out 200 dollars is a REALLY tiny amount of people, like less than 1% of the fans. Since they have to put the time into restoring the real movies, they'd want to sell them to as many people as possible.
That's what I was thinking, I bet there'll be a normal release for 65 dollars or so, and then there'll be some kind of expensive release that comes with some kind of extra toys or models or something for 100 dollars or more. The price also depends on whether or not it includes the prequels
The laserdiscs were a bit different because the trilogy was available on vhs tape as well, but for an affordable price, so people were still able to buy the movies. I think Disney would realize that no one would pay 300 dollars for only 3 movies on blu ray, no matter how many features. I mean, the James Bond set was only 120 dollars and that had 23 films on it.
I agree, these Despecialized Editions are the most impressive fan edits i've seen before. The eyebrows didn't look bad at all, I was just curious about what his plans were for this scene in the future
I'm not sure if i'm posting this in the right place, but I think these despecialized editions look incredible and are the best looking releases of the trilogy i've seen. My only minor complaint is the eyebrows on Sebastian Shaw at the end of Jedi, they look a little off, but also the color of Shaw's face is not the way it looked in the theatrical version. I was wondering if it would be possible to clean up the GOUT footage of that scene somehow so that in the Despecialized Edition Shaw's face would be the right color and the eyebrows would look the way they did originally. That scene is literally the only thing i noticed that was wrong with the entire Despecialized Editions, and if it get's fixed then they'll be perfect. Keep up the good work
