Really enjoyed it.
Went on my own to a mostly deserted cinema Thursday morning.
Left my cynical head at the door and just watched the movie. Watched it in 3D which to me looked good, bit of ghosting but put that down to the cinema’s set up.
Great depth and depth separation. One massive out of the screen moment as star destroyer struck me in the face! Music and sound felt Star Warsy! (yes I love adding the letter Y).
After the fuck up of the prequels this felt like a Star Wars movie. The humour felt right, to agree with Laurence Kasdan, it had the “goofiness” of the originals (not the silliness of the prequels).
Yes the plot was was flawed and felt rehashy but arent they all?
Casting was great, Harrison ford was an aged Han Solo, Adam Driver stole the show.
I recognised little sound effects from the originals, the wipes felt quite authentic (these little things made me well up!). To see Han bite the big one hit me, I knew it was coming but the way it happened, for me was good.
Technically yes it looked modern but its going to, we live now, not back then. Even through the 3D glasses the colour timing felt right.
All in all an excellent addition to the Star Wars saga.
Its a good time to be a Star Wars nut!
Going again at the weekend with the family and really looking forward to it.
P.S. I was so choked up As the crawl began I forgot to read it! Ive seen the crawls so many times it just didnt register! Im such a big girls blouse!

I went to see Star Wars first time round. I don’t remember the movie watching experience,I was 4-5, I remember being carried home on my dads shoulders and discussing it. And I may have had the proggrame mag which I drew all over in pen.

You should know better than to post such things in this thread. The post in the memorabila section was enough. Don’t do it again.

Sorry silverwook. I’ve removed it. I blame the booze.

Would have been nice if he worked on another restoration.

Hey peeps.

If you live in the U.K. (nw) a mate of mine who owns a tattoo studio is doing a special price run on all ink related to Star Wars! His studio is called “Alternative Skin” its in Liverpool. So if your looking to get some Force related body art check out his Facebook page.

pm sent. Or private topic as its now called.

Thanks Team, but teasing’s not nice. 😉

I thought it was the scene were obi and quigon enter the lake to meet the gungans because the water looked awfully digitized.

Geez your screen grabs look like someone just turned on the lights! Keep up the good work.

Yay, another pointless development that'll ultimately have no impact on the characters whatsoever since we all know how Han & Leia's relationship pans out.

God, the nuEU's such a creatively destitute entity so far. Why doesn't Lucasfilm hire me to write stories for them? I -- and millions of other unprofessional writers out there -- can think of a thousand better stories to tell than lameass soap opera shit like this.

 You mean space opera.

The wife thing feels very Firefly to me. Anyone else seen that episode?

Ady, Excellent as always. Love the spider thing and especially love that you gave Vader his neck back, that was a shot that always bugged me even back in the day. 

Dogs bollox.

Hey Team Neg1

Is there anyway to download your clip as the playback is really choppy. On my pc anyway.

Thanks

Anyone considered a civil war within the Empire with a New Order taking control while a Sith led Empire still exists? It could be why we see the chaos in that shot where it looks like troopers are fighting troopers.

  I'm a little confused as to how they are going to make it look like stuff happened over the last 30 years, and yet not feel sad because the ST didn't come in the late 80's when it should have.

 The crawl!

I don't suppose you would consider using your methods on the two trailers for the Force Awakens? I've downloaded them from youtube but would love copies of them in better quality. You can download them in 1080p but they look quite soft.

 Han didn't shoot first. Han let off the only shot. Just thought I'd say.

Sheet man I was typing as you replied with this! Do you have to downscale it first or can you just run the sr on the full hd bluray?

Really interested in this, always a good thing to see attempts to make the OT look better on our modern day devices. Your clips do look good but lets face it its never going to look as good as an actual capture of film will look. I would be really interested to see an upscale of the bluray. We all agree that its really only 720p res so I wonder would this programme bring out more detail?

Laugh it up fuzz ball!

Wow that looks great.

Haha I beat you, I said it on December the 2nd ;-) in a round about way.

Team-1 I just noticed in one of my previous posts I actually predicted what your countdown was leading to! Do I win anything?:-)

Thanks so much for sharing Team-1 and I absolutely love the extras a real treat for someone who projects all his films.

All the very best for the new year, that goes for everyone else on here too.
