Ever thought about erasing Threepio’s arm that enters the shot at 12:46? It’s an obvious continuity error.
There’s probably several protocol droids in that thing. Doesn’t have to be 3PO.
there really is little point.
Just because there’s little hope doesn’t take away the point AT ALL.
I don’t think you understand the reasons behind our stance here.
Well, he might have been on the other side of the moon for all we know.
Maybe? But it doesn’t make visual sense. You shouldn’t have to rationalize it.
There must be more Imperial garrisons than that one platform.
Why? They’re just protecting the shield generator.
Why would they need platforms on the other side of the planet? Why would Vader arrive there & then have to travel all the way around the entire planet to get where he was trying to go? He knew what the Rebels were up to & about where they’d be.
^ Didn’t JJ just confirm that there’s no OUT coming out?
DVNR is just a tool. When used right , it’s great. When not, it’s terrible.
Also, just like any tool, it isn’t always needed for the job at hand.
But, sometimes grain is distractingly noisy.
Example: I prefer the 4K77-DVRNed edition of Star Wars to the non. There’s still plenty of natural grain, but it’s not like looking through a sandstorm.
Meanwhile, I’d rather watch Predator on VHS than the DVNRed-to-hell BD disc.
Maybe just, I don’t know, don’t be a dick?
I vote to make this the sites new slogan.
three of which I can handle like my existing official Blu-rays: glue them all together, put a string through the middle, and suspend them inside one of the cavities in the walls of my house, so nobody accidentally watches them or stumbles across them and thinks that I like those films enough to buy them
This is really funny.
That is seriously what I did with the 2011SE’s. You glue the shiny sides together so it’s really clear what’s on the disks. Star Wars and Empire on the sides, Jedi in the middle, a little offcenter so that you can see some of its cover too. They’re currently hanging inside the wall cavity of my youngest child’s bedroom closet.
Love it.
But be careful… Some may not think that’s valid.
I got heavily berated for announcing that I only own the paper receipt from my purchase of the BD boxset. “THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! HE SHOULD BE BANNED!” even though it proves, irrevocably, that I paid my hard earned cash for the set (you can even trace it to my bank account). Simply possessing the set says nothing. Ya coulda’ stole it, bought it second hand, ect.Thanks for the idea – I’ll glue the receipt to the discs.
Now we’re talkin’.

Or do you need to actually pay the megacorporations for a brand spankin’ new copy to “legitimately” download fan-edits/preservations/etc.?
Oh, nothing at all! I really couldn’t care any less.
It’s just silly to say that I have less right to own fan edits when I actually have proof that my money went to LFL.
The Pods were fantastic. All of em. Great idea, great visual design, great sound design.
The race & the racers were horrible, but.
And, just because I’ve seen 'em…

^ I’m very nostalgic for that trailer.
But, a few years back I showed it to my lady, with the explanation of “THIS is what we were excited for!”
She laughed the whole way though, pointing out how “Un-StarWarsy” & silly it seems. And I couldn’t disagree. At all.
But it still gets me excited for a film we will never see.
(side note: she saw TPM with her boyfriend at the time & lost all respect for him when he said he “loved it”. This story kills me.)
Not liking it is fine. But it’s not universe shrinkage if it was always part of his lore from the beginning. It’s actually the opposite as it expanded our knowledge of the past.
George coulda’ planned for Luke n’ Leia to be brother n’ sister from the beginning & it would still make the galaxy smaller.
I don’t totally disagree with you, but Boba Fett the mystery man is much more interesting than him being part of a group who all act & dress up the same. The more we know, the less interesting he becomes.
But that’s a whole other topic.
I’m still excited to sit down n’ watch this thing!

Star Wars '77
Empire '80
all else is subject to my own ideas.
Oh, yeah, the Mon Calamari, too. They’re so ubiquitious throughout SW, I forgot they first appeared in ROTJ.
I really wish they weren’t in R1 though. In my head cannon, many other groups joined the Rebellion after the destruction of the first Death Star.
All these races in R1 forces one to question where the hell they all were during the most dangerous & pivotal battle for the Alliance…
I’ve always hated the Mandalorians. More shrinkage. “Oh, he’s not really his own thing, there’s an entire army of Bobba Fetts!” Ugh.
They’ve been a part of Star Wars for as long as Boba Fett has:
The Empire Strikes Back novelization by Donald F. Glut:
…the notorious Boba Fett. A human bounty hunter, Fett was known for his extremely ruthless methods. He was dressed in a weapon-covered, armored spacesuit, the kind worn by a group of evil warriors defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars.
And I don’t like it. What’s yer point?
Forgive me if I’m mistaken, but I believe the only OT music in the films that hasn’t been released at this point is a short TESB insert and two diegetic cues from ROTJ.
Yup.
And the few missing bits from Jedi (which I’d love to have) no longer exist.
In the fan-made isolated scores these bits are choppy edits from the actual film track. I’ve long planned to make better versions of these, but I haven’t gotten around to it.
About to watch this thing. Heard nothing but good things that sound truly interesting. My expectations are firmly in check though:
I’ve always hated the Mandalorians. More shrinkage. “Oh, he’s not really his own thing, there’s an entire army of Bobba Fetts!” Ugh.
But, I can accept that if there’s a good, well-told story surrounding it.
Still, can’t help but wish he wasn’t Boba Fett & was, instead, something new.
I think they’re both improvements. Leaving Ghost Shaw in there would be a plot hole, IMO, as unscarred Shaw never existed.
Doesn’t matter. He’s part of the Force and thus can take on any form of his choice.
Exactly. He’s in the form Luke would recognize him in.
Had never heard (or even heard of) Twiki’s early season 2 voice until tonight.
I think it just ruined my life.
& I’m not even a big Buck Rodgers fan.How bad is it?
It’s a super-sweet, super-cartoony little boy voice.
I tried to find an example, but surprisingly nothings coming up.
Apparently the legendary voice actor Mel Blanc was replaced by a Bob Elyea. Fans hated it and they quickly changed it back mid-season.OK I can see that feeling out of place for Twiki (even if I barely know anything about the series.)
I’m also mostly unfamiliar with the series. I only know this one trivia bit because it was so audibly offensive.
Buck Rodgers plays during Super Sci-Fi Saturday Night! which is a block of TV I usually have muted while mixing music or whatever I’m doing. The shows they air are wonderful background visuals. Highly recommended. Anyways, the sound was on a week or so ago & I was attacked by this.
Also, it didn’t even do the iconic “Bi-di-bi-di-bi”. That and the low, gruff voice of Twiki is what the dumb series is known for! How did they not see that!?
Was wondering what the quality of the DVD is like. I found raw files online, but it looks like it has some motion blurring. Not sure if I just forgot what DVD 480p was like or I got a bad rip.
So, you’re really just gonna show up & say you’ve illegally downloaded commercially available material?
Wow ok.
His robe shouldn’t even be a ghost!
Good point! he should be nude and missing his lower half.
Ugh, these plot holes!
By that logic, the Hayden ghost is also a plot hole, since a long-haired Anakin with an intact right arm and those specific robes also never existed.
lol This.
Also, I guess Obi-Wan’s ghost should still be chopped in half.
Ridiculous.
You need to refute the Special edition in a questionable manner without coming over as confrontational about it because it is not all bad
I don’t care if it’s not all bad or even if it’s all actually great. That isn’t the issue AT ALL.
Suppression of history is WRONG. (why do I keep having to say this?)
Trying to reason with LFL that “it’s the version I prefer, so you should make it available” is going about it all wrong. It’s not the point that should be made.
Erasing & altering history is morally wrong. It’s an evil thing to try & do.
The lights on the stardestroyer… It’s beautiful.
