So it may be interesting also for other people? If I remember correctly the DVD contains the “Caravan of Courage” cut, correct?
EDIT Looks like I remember it correctly - see Adamwankenobi’s post here : http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Battle-for-Endor-and-caravan-of-courage/id/3129
Which version of the first movie do yo have? Caravan of Courage or The Ewok Adventure?
Fortunately, the Lowry process seems to have had a harder time scrubbing away grain than it did scrubbing away starfields. Or maybe that’s unfortunately.
Actually, there’s tons of fake grain added on top of the 2004 master.
Check out this screenshot from the BD’s uncompressed ProRes source file:

The same excessive noise that is all over the image actually overlaps into the black bars.
Great picture. Can I ask what’s the source?
There are at least 2 people using the account, one writing exactly as the old “negative 1” and somebody else. Or somebody is playing a weird game.
Oh does it continue?
Did Wesley really save the ship too many times?
In one of the very first episodes (the 1., 2., 3. or 4. depending on where you live and the broadcast order) he had the idea of throwing the other ship at the asteroid to slow it down so that Data has time to start the engines and save the Enterprise - Data actually saved the ship, Wesley just gave him time.
Then there were 2 Traveller episodes, in one of them he helped the Traveller to bring the ship back to the known universe and in the second one he helped him to save his mother from the bubble - in both cases he had no idea what he’s doing and couldn’t do bantha poodoo without the Traveller’s guidance.
And then in a later episode when he was just a guest he actually saved the ship from the influences of the mind controlling game.
I don’t really remember any other episodes where he would save the day, from what I remember he was always just being on the bridge or in the engine room just doing his job, or he was being an awkward teenager, or in the early episodes just causing trouble.
But Troi on the other hand was really useless. The writers obviously had no idea what to do with her character, so she was always just stating the obvious, or had a romantic involvement with the guest of the week, or she was arguing with her mother.
Thanks.
Sorry for the question, but I can’t find the answer anywhere. I know that the “Episode VII” part of the title was supposed to be dropped, and it’s not mentioned on Wikipedia, where the movie is called simply “Star Wars : The Force Awakens”.
I live in Slovakia, where the movie has been marketed as Star Wars Episode 7, and the opening crawl (a translated version, not the English version) has also included the episode number.
Can anybody of you guys who has seen the English version confirm if the crawl had the “Episode VII” part in it? And I apologize if it was discussed already - I couldn’t find it. Thanks a lot.
Did you watch the sample they posted? I think that should answer your question. As long as they manage to make it at least as clean as the v1.0 version that is, because even after the initial cleanup, it’s still pretty rough.
Actually I did and it doesn’t really answer any of my questions 😦
Can some of you guys recommend some good registration techniques / software? I always did it in Avisynth but it rarely was “perfect” during the whole video.
A dumb question - why?
Why as :
Or let me re-phrase it : when the version 2.0 comes out, what will be the reason for me to delete the version 1.0?
I absolutely hate crossovers from different franchises
No OOT, no sale.
Fully agree. I will also buy a new Star Wars home video release only if it includes the original theatrical cuts and/or deleted scenes.

Not sure about audio though. There are so many threads about it but there’s no search functionality right now, try to google something like “audio changes site😮riginaltrilogy.com” or something similar

The 2011 Blu-ray
Uh…the Director’s cut doesn’t add that ending back in.
If I remember correctly on one of the Director’s cut DVDs there is a hidden Easter Egg which basically plays the director’s cut + a scene where the liquid Terminator searches the kid’s room after killing his parents + plays the original ending.
I haven’t seen Genysis. The trailer looked like a very bad parody of the Terminator franchise and not a sequel, that’s why I waited for the reviews and because I haven’t seen/read a single one positive review, I’m skipping this one.

So, Harrison Ford is back in Episode 8 as Han Solo : http://www.moviecastingcall.org/2016/01/star-wars-episode-viii-casting-for-extras-and-photo-doubles.html
You guys mention cropping but it should be noted that the blu-rays actually expand the image not cut any of it out. The show was shot on film and cropped to fit the standard 4:3 aspect ratio of the time. The Blu-rays went back to the negatives and reveal more of the image than we’ve ever seen before.
Though I do understand the general wish that the show had maintained its original aspect ratio. That was one of the great things about the Twin Peaks HD transfers.
Oh and for anyone that’s interested in checking out these new transfers but doesn’t want to fork out the cash for the boxsets. I just discovered last night that NETFLIX has updated their version of the show with the new High Definition transfers.
Not in all scenes. Some scenes are actually cropped and resized, and it’s they’re clearly recognizable.
Another cancer related celebrity death ? This would be funny if it wasn’t tragic.
Rogue One could be interesting. Not sure about ST Beyond, this is the first Trek movie I am seriously considering skipping. Does the Civil War (Marvel) movie count as sci-fi?
Pardon me if I will sound too harsh, but right now I’m seriously pissed about those CBS bastards, but why the f*** does everybody seem to hate Wesley Crusher? He was my favourite TNG character when I was younger but I really have a problem finding any positive comments about him online. The same with Enterprise - for me it was the best Trek show since TNG, especially the first 3 seasons before it got crappy for the last season, but it looks like everybody (at least from the USA) hates the first 3 seasons and likes the fourth one.
The sky is not supposed to be blue, but “greyish”
Color correction discussions are often quite entertaining.
HEY MAN I’M LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW AT THE SKY RIGHT NOW AND THAT SHIT IS BLUE
OK, the sky on Tatooine is not supposed to be blue. The ILM guys specifically talked about it in one of the many 1997 featurettes, and if I remember correctly it’s also mentioned on the Episode 1 DVD bonus features.
I do think Lucas is a pretty good director and a pretty good editor. He just isn’t good with communicating with other people, and not a very good writer.
