Revenge of the Sith is probably the least deserving of a theatrical preservation, but it also seems to be the least difficult (please correct me if I’m mistaken). The only changes I’m aware of are the shortened “NOOOOO” (edit: an untrue rumor), the Kashyyyk rooftops, and the Utapau Clone Troopers. I’ve read that the color timing is very close to the original release.

Is there interest for a preservation? Are there adequate sources to create it? I would love to make an attempt.

(Please let me know if similar topics have been created previously).

Is it possible to just download the bonus audio tracks?

Besides, that has nothing to do with my point. My point is that good guys being weaker again is a boring rehash element.

I wouldn’t say the Resistance was weaker than the First Order. The First Order is only a fraction the size of the Empire, and the Resistance was secretly supported by the New Republic. Sure the FO had a not-a-death star, but they (as far as we know) seem to only have one capital ship and not a whole lot of clout in terms of galactic control. The Resistance is still rag-taggy like the Rebellion, but I think this time the fight is more evenly matched (although this may not be true in Ep. VIII given the destruction of the Republic capitol).

I’m not in-the-know. What’s wrong with wookieepedia?

“This is sooooooo wizard, Ani”

Who’s “a person familiar with the matter”? They could’ve pulled a hobo off the street to say that.

Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed. I didn’t know lipsyncing in dubs was really a thing. Are you familiar with the Spanish dub of SW? Do you know of any inaccuracies?

I hope not, dubtitles are devil’s work.

Why is that? I’m terrible at understanding spoken Spanish so having both a dub and subtitles helps a ton.

Catbus, thank you so much for your work here. My girlfriend and I are studying foreign languages, so Project Threepio + the language dubs included with the Despecialized editions will be a godsend.

Speaking of which, do the dubs included with the desp. releases “line up” with the subtitles here? For example, if I use the Latino Spanish dub with the Latino Spanish subtitles, will they match word for word?

The comments on the article are disgusting. “HEY LOOK EVERYBODY, THEY’RE NERDS. THEY SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING BETTER WITH THEIR LIVES”.

I’d love to see the work they do in their free time. Clearly it would be much more constructive and beneficial to society than what goes on here.

This is the silliest debate I’ve ever read.

STAR WARS
Episode VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS

It’s right there in the movie.

I honestly think a Lucas-made Ep. VII would be two hours of second-hand embarrassment. He had three movies of which he had almost complete control and they turned out terribly. His stubbornness to admit his mistakes is kind of sad. Especially recently regarding his interviews about The Force Awakens.

As for ESB, Adywan’s 1997 reconstruction does the trick.

Would you happen to have a link (to its forum page if it exists) handy? I’ve tried searching for it but I can’t find it.

I would totally support Respecialized versions of TESB and RotJ. Even though I’m most familiar with the original releases, there’s something intriguing about the '97 versions. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them fully. I really hope Harmy decides to do it! However I know a tremendous amount of work is required for these things.

Are there any mistakes/inaccuracies in SW Respecialized or is it pretty much complete?

Ah gotcha. I really couldn’t tell if I was hearing it because I was expecting it to be there. Thanks for the info!

I started playing with the different audio tracks that come with the Despecialized releases. I’m completely blown away! The work put into this whole project never fails to amaze me.

I did notice what I think is an error however. In the mono audio mix, Leia’s blaster in the chasm doesn’t have its “gunshot” sound as I think it’s supposed to have. Is this a known issue or am I mistaken?

So the Alamo has removed any mention of the roadshow on their website. I emailed my local Alamo, and they said that they might’ve removed the announcement because there was confusion on whether or not the movies would be shown in Alamo theater or in other, bigger venues.

And I seriously can’t imagine anyone in real life getting fussy about word choice.

My point is, you just did.

Eh, I guess you’re right :^)

I call it “A New Hope” or “Episode IV” because nobody outside of a minority of fanboys cares what it’s called.

I’d try to parse this sentence in a way that isn’t unintentionally self-deprecating, but why?

My point was that most people who I come across have always known ANH as ANH or Episode IV, and not just “Star Wars”. So to call it “Star Wars” would then require me to give them the whole run-down of it being given a subtitle and episode number and whatnot. Using “Episode IV” just makes it easy to identify what you’re talking about to everybody. I could call it “Star Wars: The Adventures of Owen Lars’s Charred Corpse” and it would be a better description than just “Star Wars”. And I seriously can’t imagine anyone in real life getting fussy about word choice.

See, I can do it too, but it’s kind of pointless if it doesn’t relate to the topic.

Earlier in the thread, it was questioned whether or not the 2011 versions were used during Alamo’s marathon. I was responding to that. Although I could’ve worded my post a little better.

For what its worth, Alamo actually showed the 2011 versions during the marathon leading up to TFA release.

But did they claim they would be the 1997 versions beforehand?

Nope, I’m just throwing out facts.

I guess no one here went to the marathon leading up to TFA last December to see which versions were being run?

My friend (who’s a projectionist) did. He says the DCP’s are sourced from the 2011 Blu’s, except for TPM, which was a 2D folddown of the 3D version.

What differences exist in the 3D release?

So far, considering none’s analysis of the credits, I don’t think there’s any reason to think they’re less than 100% identical.

What is this exactly?

I know that there’s another thread about this, but it has not been re-opened despite the Blu-ray release date passing. I ask that a mod merges this thread with that one.

A Redditor noticed differences in the arrangement of flags at Maz’s castle. This could either be a difference between the trailer and the actual movie, or the theatrical release and the blu-ray. Nonetheless, I thought it would be worth discussing.
