You guys are looking in Alderaan places for a troll.

When we can’t lol freely, do we truly have freedom?

…

The correct response would’ve been “I’m confused, why are we loling?”, providing an adequate opportunity for response.

“Don’t shitpost” is a condemning response, providing little opportunity to proceed with the conversation civilly.

I’m all for an AotC 35mm scan, though was under the impression that the film prints were visually sabotaged to contrast with the DCP showings. With that in mind, I believe the PAL anamorphic DVD probably offers the highest quality near-theatrical source (AotC hdtv streams look good but suffer from pixellation frequently). The pal P&S probably offers the highest quality available for the visible picture.

You’re all overcomplicating this.

1. It’s Star Wars, people will but it, even not knowing it’s different.
2. Casual movie fans almost always prefer a release with Theatrical and Director’s Cuts (which is far more accurate than the Special Edition moniker it has been given.) Two for the price of 1, awesome! I didn’t even know there were two versions, I gotta try it out.
3. Mike Verta has Legacy ready. Empire requires the least theatrical replacement footage.
   Jedi Prints are still reasonable quality to scan for an easier restoration.

It comes down to Fox. I think potentially Lucas signed a secret agreement with Fox to keep theatrical Star Wars unreleased knowing Disney would never do a theatrical release of just ESB and RotJ.

I wish Disney would just flip them the bird, and release amazing restorations of ESB and RotJ in 2020.

Fox looks like dicks, screws over Lucas, buys Legacy from Mike, and releases a beautiful 40th SW anniversary set with tons of special features.

Fans are happy… except the set isn’t matching, with SW getting beautiful retro boxing and ESB/RotJ sold as a two pack in a single case.

Which means we have to wait until 2022 for Fox/Disney to release a trilogy set, and 2024 for a trilogy set with both versions (The 2020 saga set/2023 release featuring only the SE).

You need a , after There and a ; after it.

Was that a rhetorical sentence.

Teasing. Check.

Knowing I’ve personally thanked you a variety of times. Check.

Worried about you a bit; hoping everything’s alright on your end. Check.

Your own threads don’t count.

Maybe finding a shot/frame with as many colors as possible (I like the falcon cockpit wide shots for this) from the print-based LDs, you could average/median them and see what results you get. Might help remove the inconsistencies.

I still think one of our scripting/programming geniuses should look into writing a mode average plugin for avisynth or matlab, as the most commonly occurring pixel is more likely to be correct as opposed to the one in the middle or a combination of those available.

But how do we know if they’re real? I have a tremendous source telling me everyone but Frink, Bingowings and JMOW is FAKE NEWS! And Adywan most certainly was not in collusion with a Wampa.

Any current links to v1.3?

I like Seciors’ for 1 and 2 (Phantom Editor is my alt for 2), and L8wrtr for 3.

Hal’s trilogy if you’d rather not mix and match

Hi, I’m looking to run multiprocess on SD footage and for some reason, BD Rebuilder isn’t letting me (HD runs 4-way x264 just fine). My account has been waiting for approval on Doom9 for months, so I can’t post this in bug reports on the BD Rebuilder forum section. If someone could do this for me, that’d be great.

Anyone feeling charitable? 20gb 1080p sounds like it’s be nice to acquire. Pm appreciated.

Please. Everyone. Don’t give in to the urge. It’s going to be okay.

They look decent, but add me to the group that liked the previous grade better as well. These are coming through just a bit too dull, where the previous grade “popped” - Technicolor may have always been a bit green, but it was never dull or washed out looking.

A bit of a fix needed for second row, picture 4 and 5. With that I’d say you have it. Still a bit too green in the darks vs your recent examples of those shots.

I’ll render it if you package it together, ready to go 😆

My sincerest apologies 😨

I just was looking for a posting that has “vs” under it multiple times and compared the first image.

Mouse over is helpful for image distortion, but I thought this provided a nice opportunity for color comparison.

You have to register to be able to use this site, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the option to compare 6 different sources (possibly more).

Beyond that, I’m meh.

I think I’d like that more, they could even drop the first ‘the’

“Last of the Jedi”

But I suppose that’s too similar to “Return of the Jedi.”

I do dig the red logo, though.

I’m liking the Red Logo as well.

I think the placement of “the” is what’s bugging me

The - Last - Jedi is most similar to The - Phantom - Menace
Last - of - the - Jedi would be too similar to RotJ, and recalls Attack of the Clones.
Neither of these should be the films most brought to mind when reading the new title.

However, with the exception of Episode One, (and ANH, which doesn’t contain “the”), the titles tend to refer to topics without descriptors, ie:

Attack of THE CLONES
Revenge of THE SITH
THE EMPIRE Strikes Back
Return of THE JEDI
THE FORCE Awakens

I felt something similar with the crawl in The Force Awakens.
Every other crawl was very formal, giving the impression of galactic importance and typically referring to characters by their whole names. TFA broke with that, referring personally to “Luke” and “Leia” repeatedly. This gave the story more of a shared family memory feel, as opposed to an important chapter in a history book.

… Hopefully that makes sense.

To fit with the Star Wars naming scheme, I think they should have gone with “The Last OF THE Jedi”.

Probably the Empire shot with a blue lightsaber.

They can say all they’d like. I wish Ady was less modest and would let us donate for a top of the line laptop rather than one that just meets his needs.

Honestly, I don’t know his living situation, but if he has any space for it, I think it would be best if we all just pitched in for a work shed where he can build and film.

It was a reasonable question. We’re all a bit braced for annoying or unnecessary, but no point in reacting condescendingly to legitimate posts.

No Editroid, clearly he thinks you’re cute.

On that note, I would like to bring attention to a problem in today’s society: the tragic decline of winking.
