Read this on a certain website that I am sure is familiar to all of you...

 

DUMBASS derp-d:

Leaving Darth Vader's lightsaber white in a single wide shot in ANH was a clue to the true fans that there was still good within the heart of this Dark Lord, that's why it's never been fixed. GL decided that he would compose such a shot as early as 1973, when he drew up his six film epic titled 'The Tragedy Of Darth Vader'.

 

Oh and this too


OTHER DUMBASS derp-d:



The history is that even when Lucas has made changes to satisfy the fans (Vader's white saber in ANH, the English tractor beam letters, bad Rancor matte lines, etc.) fans just quickly move on to the next items on their "must be fixed or I'll be angry" wish lists.

It's not the potential for people being disappointed that is stopping Lucas from restoring the O-OT (though I suspect disappointment would be the inevitable result], it's that he doesn't want to. You're correct: there has never been a digital restoration of the O-OT released to the public, and there probably won't be. That's not because Lucas hates the fans or is stubborn or is just a jerk. It's because they no longer represent the story he wants to tell. He doesn't want fans determining what it the 'correct' version of the story or dismissing his updated version by offering restored copies. He wants HIS version to be THE story. That's really it. I'm sure Lucas is well-aware of fan editors making their own "restorations" and I doubt he wants to supply them with quality material for them to make their versions. I know some people want the O-OT for legitimate reasons, but I also know people who want it mainly as a "screw you" to Lucas so they can ignore the "crappy versions" (according to one of my friends) as if they don't exist.

Star Wars shouldn't always look the same ...

I'm curious what you mean by this?

It shouldn't always be bright and clear.

The snowstorms on Hoth obscured a lot from view which makes sense, the steam in the freezing chamber created exciting stylised shots.

The sand blowing around in this footage enhances the scene in the same way.

Just because you have a nice looking full scale model, it doesn't follow you have to show it at it's best.

Another example would be the Nostromo landed on Acheron.

It looks more realistic in a story sense because it's placed in a kinetic environment.

Oh, ok, I agree.  The gritty realism is one of the things I prefer about the OT over the PT.  Although I'd draw a line at -the acting shouldn't always be good-   :)

*reads bingo's post several times*

 

Where did he say that??

The UK version was cancelled. But somehow the crappy, poorly written and acted US kockoff really cranked in the rating and has been a phenomenal success. The studio has already signed a 15 season contract with the main cast members, and there are rumor that they are already considering renewing those contracts for an additional 27 seasons.

There's even rumours of a movie in the works... but I doubt that'll get off the ground....

American plugs are so lame and compact, I love the massive three pronged ones in the UK.

The Plugs we have in the UK are 'massive'?

O_o

They aren't THAT big

Next on AS THE DEATH STAR TURNS....C3PX and Greeny compare the sizes of their plugs.

I thought that show was cancelled...

How would YOU re-do the prequels?
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/518993/action/topic#518993
Time

If I could redo the Star Wars Prequels I would probably have the whole thing be a 'retro-fest', and have them look like they're made in the 40s and 50s and 60s (Not in terms of special effects or Styrofoam sets but it terms of style. Like hairstyles, Technology) Story-wise I would ignore what Lucas did. The clones would in-fact be lizard like creatures from a distant galaxy. Anakin would be 20 in 'Episode One', Screw that little kid stuff, and Obi-wan would be about 31 years old.

 

EPISODE ONE

Battle for the Republic?

(Title needs work)

 

A prologue would play just before the opening credits telling the audience of the origins of the Jedi Knights, the formation and eventual defeat of the Dark jedis and the First Great Clone war.

 

The Opening credits then play (In Black and White)

 

The words ‘A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...’ Appear on the screen, written in White.

 

Opening title. There is no opening crawl. Just the Episode number and the film’s title.

 

In 'Episode one' the second clone war would be already happening. Obi-wan would obtaining some information about the location of the Clone's Home world, where all their key facilities are kept. Obi in a starfighter crashes on the planet tattooine, near where Anakin lives  at Anchorhead. Anakin takes Obi to a medical centre. Meanwhile a group of clones are searching for Obi-wan wanting to destroy him for what he knows, we see the clones do something bad so we don’t like them (They kill a republic spy or something.). Anakin learns that Obi-wan is a Jedi knight and is trying to escape from the clones because of the information he knows. Anakin and Obi-wan realising that the clones would wipe out everyone at the settlement, help evacuate anchorhead before being the last ones to leave. As they leave the clones arrive and a chase ensues (Anakin and Obi in a Landspeeder being pursued by three clone fighters.) They manage to incapacitate the clone fighters as they reach Mos Eisley, they buy/steal/borrow a small freighter and blast off the planet.  A clone battleship, which has been hovering over the planet unleashes an attack on the freighter. Anakin gets into a turret whilst Obi makes the calculations for the jump to lightspeed. Anakin is able to blast a couple of fighters before power goes out in some bits of the ship. (Stuff like Hyperdrive and weapons. Maybe gravity too.) Obi-wan goes to work trying to fix the hyperdrive whilst anakin pilots the ship. Obi glances over and notices he has a intuitive way with piloting. Power comes back on and the freighter leaps to lightspeed.

 

Whilst in hyperspace we learn about Obi-wan and Anakin as characters. We learn about the force a bit more (Anakin makes a passing comment about how heard that the force involves microscopic lifeforms in people’s Blood, Obi immediately tells him that’s Horseshit.) and how the republic is coping with the war (They are fighting a losing battle.)

Obi begins a process of training Anakin with using the force.

 

The freighter emerges from hyperspace above the planet Alderann where it meets up with the rest of the republic fleet. Anakin and Obi arrive on board and have to split. Obi has to relay his information to ‘Master Yoda’ (We’ll never see Yoda in the prequels.) and Anakin is drafted into the Republic Pilot’s Corp. Whilst there he meets up with Ric-oli Kenobi, (Uncle Owen) Obi-wan’s brother and Brea Nyota,  a fellow pilot. She is about 25 and very beautiful. He begins chatting her up, only to realise that she is in fact Obi-wan’s Fiancé.

 

A battle plan is discussed in a large room. The fleet, led by Prince Bail Organa is to emerge from hyperspace near the clone’s planet and distract the forces up in space whilst a strike team secretly sneaks onto the planet and destroys the clone’s key facilities. It would involve destroying a shield generator in one facility which would knock out other facilies (I don’t care if this doesn’t make sense I’m tired and it’s four in the morning as I’m typing this.)

 

The fleet jumps to hyperspace.

 

The fleet arrives at the clone’s homeplanet and a spacebattle ensues, whilst a small transport vessel manages to sneak down to the planet undetected. Obi-wan and his Republic Shocktroops sneak into a cave leading into the clone’s facilities (This could lead into a pretty cool piece of imagery where Obi-wan would ignite his lightsaber to lead the way and he could hold it aloft)

They sneak into the facility and plant explosives, but all of the troops are killed and Obi is beaten. Anakin, sensing Obi-wan’s pain, abandons the space battle to go help him. He ends up crashing his fighter but saves Obi. They escape in a shuttle just as the clones base explodes in a huge explosion. The battle in space is pretty much over when they arrive.

Anakin is knighted (literally) a Jedi and is to undergo offical training. On the smoggy, traffic covered metropolis planet, Had Abbadon, an awards ceremony is held. Badges of valor are given to several people, Anakin, Obi and Brea being ones. The film ends with a small glance and smile between Anakin and Brea. (Shit, that happened at the end of the phantom menace...FUCK!)
