Here's a quick compare of a shot that was changed slightly for the bluray. More endless tinkering from Lucas.

 What's the difference except the different cropping? Or do you mean the glass reflections?

Why did you decide to use SOME different cuts and not all of them? I mean there are many more versions of each movie

His schwartz was not strong enough

Is it a shot from Spaceballs?

I've just seen a trailer and was disgusted. It seemed like a very bad parody of the Terminator franchise and not as a sequel.

One and two are brilliant movies, three is crap and four is crap, but "watchable". I don't plan to see Genisys at all.

Blu-ray has failed, because it has not replaced DVD's, or become the primary format for most releases. Digital releases have, and will overtake it.

Team Negative1

 Sorry, but you're completely wrong. I'm not sure why do you call Bluray a failure, it's not as successful as the previous formats but I definitely wouldn't call it a failure. Formats like HD-DVD or Betamax - those are failures.

Digital releases will never overtake physical releases. It just can't happen. For example take people like me - I have never ever paid for a digital release of anything, and never will. OK, I once bought an mp3 single but that was an exception, I did it only because it was a charity release. If I should pay for something, I want to be able to hold it in my hands, and listen to it / watch it / read it whenever I want and how I want. I never ever will buy some DRM-infected "ones and zeroes" and it doesn't matter if we're talking about music, books, or videos. If the companies stop producing physical releases, I'll stop paying them. And you would be surprise how many people are just like me. Our numbers are too big to be ignored.

It's a pity, Horner's scores were great

Nope, Slovenian doesn't sound like Slovak :-) Which reminds me that I started the translation ages ago and never finished it, sorry for that.

But yeah, Czech subtitles are the correct choice for the family in Bratislava

My preference

1. TOS & TNG - it's hard to decide, I love them both

2. TOS movies - yeah, even 5 has some fine moments

3. Enterprise - I loved the first 3 seasons and was bored by the 4th

4. DS9 - weak start, actually VERY weak, but when they started to concentrate on the Dominion story arc it got really, REALLY good

5. TNG movies - they look pretty, but except First Contact and some parts of Insurrection nothing makes any sense

6. Voyager - I never liked the show, actually this was the first Trek show where I HATED some characters (the Borg kids, Neelix, that Naomi whatshername kid, the holographic doctor, the Borg - OMG they managed to maked the Borg BORING - how is that possible?). I started to like the final episodes spread over the last 2 or 3 seasons, the story arc when they started to show the team in the Alpha quadrant trying to bring them home

7. TAS - some episodes are really great, but most of them are just too childish, the animation is full of errors, the score is repetitive and actually annoying...

8. JJ movies - there are 2 things I like about the new movies - the score and the new McCoy. Everything else sucks imho.

Commanders

1. Kirk & Picard - I love 'em both, each of them for different reasons

2. Archer - if I was in a military organisation, this is the kind of guy I would follow to battle

3. Sisko - I didn't like him originally but I got used to him very quickly

4. Janeway - never liked her, don't know why, maybe because of her "inconsistency" - in some episodes she's the good mother of the crew, in some episodes she's an action hero, in some episodes she's a very "girly" woman, in some episodes she follows strictly the Starfleet principles, in other episodes she's like "to hell with the Prime Directive" ...

5. JJ Kirk - I still think Pine's version of Kirk is simply an asshole, not sure if it's JJ's fault or Pine's

From time to time. The Marvel movies taught me to do so :)

I'd also love to know that

The Tatooine scenes were shot with a "pantyhose" filter, not sure what it is, if it's a filter or really a pantyhose. Couldn't it explain these weird artifacts?

PLease tell me that the R2 is the real prop/costume :-)

I would have some complaints but they were very well covered in the mail :) But overall, I'm happy with what I've seen, but some of the clips are indeed very dark and/or have wrong colours, but since you write those parts will be replaced, I'm looking forward to the next part. Thanks a lot for your work

And Saruman :( Well at least he had a long life

Wasn't this thread about a movie? Something Star Wars related?

Well, I see no reason for criticizing the 2006  twice, but otherwise than that it's impressive as always :-)

I'll be diplomatic and I say that I fully understand why Harmy doesn't like it :-) The actors are doing a good job but the translation sucks

Harmy said:

Yeah - as far as I know, there never was a 1995 Czech VHS release and there were no TV airings of ESB and ROTJ before 2002, which was of course the SE, so those "1995" dubs are likely the ones that were used (and first appeared) on the '97SE VHS release, so I think they only exist in the '97SE cut form and since there were some dialog changes, you can't really use them for the original without patching them up with the old dubs.

Plus the '97SE dubs had awful translation.

 A small correction/explanation - the czech 1995 dubs were done for CT1 (I know that because I taped them and watched them pretty often :-) ) and not for VHS. The same dubbing(s) were used for the 1997 SE, they dubbed just the new scenes with (if I remember correctly) the same actors. So they exist both for the original  cuts and the 97 SEs

Darth_Coconut said:

Can I please ask who administrates czech dubbing please?

The 1995 dubbing is much more better. Plus it was digitally remastered in 97. Not always the oldest is the best.

 Why do you ask? If you want the 1995 dubbing, I have a copy synced to the PAL GOUT DVD if it helps (that's for all 3 movies)

This is what was reported  for the SE versions:

========================================

It ultimately cost $15 million to restore all three films. Fox, which owns "Star Wars," put up $10 million to refurbish the film. Lucas, who owns the subsequent films, contributed $5 million to revamp "The Empire Strikes Back," which arrives Feb. 21, and "Return of the Jedi," due out March 7. (Fox will spend in excess of $15 million to launch the re-release.)

Disney would be fortunate to be able to come up with any money near that amount to restore the originals. Although, there are a lot more variables to contend with now, than there were in the past. So taking into account inflation and other variables, it would definitely be higher than that.

 Come on, (I hope) you know they have done something completely different than we want from them !

I still fail to understand how/why it should be expensive. To release a HD scan of the OUT, you need

- good looking prints - they have them

- a HD film scanner - they have them

- a person who can scan film - they have them

- a person who is able to take HD files and author a BD out of them - they PROBABLY have these persons

- designers (menus, covers, etc)

- marketing team - they have them

So sorry, what costs? They have the people, they have the equipment and they have the prints, and I'm pretty sure such a release would be considered "good enough" for most of us

Look to the bottom right corner of the screen at the boxes, especially on the black areas. What happened? I can not stop watching there :)
