I confess that I didn’t see the tiny bit of gantry above the TIE in that shot at first.

The only onscreen evidence of how TIE’s are parked pre-SE is in ROTJ.

Jedi Outcast had a Star Destroyer level with a hangar bay full of TIE’s hanging around this way.

I never noticed the TIE hanging from some sort of maintenance gantry in this shot before!

Fun fact: The majority of what you see in the last too images are matte paintings. I geek out every time.

Also, Return Of The Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Does a Team Negative 1 Logo exist? If so I would like a png to use for a variant of my Trilogy Blu ray covers like this one:


It’s still a WIP and as you can see, I’ve already created a Harmy variant for the Despecialized Edition.

Here you go - Team Negative One Logo: https://we.tl/t-pbH6NmEgWn

Thanks! However, I may change the color to all black to match the minimal design of the other logos. This is inspired by the CBS/FOX tapes after all.

Strange that I grew up with both the original and special editions. First half of my life (being born in 1990) was with the original cuts (mostly ROTJ…I didn’t see A New Hope completely from beginning to end til the special edition in 1997). The second half (mostly the 2000’s) was with the special edition. Now it’s just the original cuts.

Despite ROTJ being my favorite, it did suffer more with the changes. Vader’s “no!” was the worst change imo.

I will never understand how or why the copy-paste job that is TFA is so highly ranked.

You don’t have to understand. Just respect an opposing opinion (even if you disagree) and move on.

Anyway, my rank (if you have a problem it, oh well…):

Return Of The Jedi [Love-Favorite SW movie]
The Empire Strikes Back [Love]
A New Hope (or Star Wars) [Love]
The Last Jedi [Love]
The Force Awakens [Love]
Rogue One (TLJ, TFA, & R1 may switch around depending on my mood I think)[Love]
Revenge Of The Sith [Like]
The Phantom Menace [Like]
Attack Of The Clones [Mostly Okay-Least Favorite SW movie]

Haven’t seen Solo yet.

See it! If you liked every movie but one and that one was still mostly okay, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t at least like this one at a minimum.

Aaaaand just to be clear…I’m not a shill. Such a stupid-a** label created by desperate people (you know who you are [this is towards the ones hiding in the shadows waiting to attack]). I have a few nitpicks in the Prequels and newer films. I don’t love everything with Star Wars stamped on it.

Anyway, I do plan to buy the blu ray soon. It might be the one film I’d consider unnecessary regardless of how I feel.

Info Wanted: Anyone know when 4K83 releases?
Time

Without a doubt, Return Of The Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie. Out of the three theatrical version of the OT, this one is priority 1,even though I have 4k77 first, but that’s because of the release order. I’ve been forward to 4k83 more. Couldn’t have made a better teaser myself. Buy the tone of the teaser alone, this is truly something special (especially for someone like my who views ROTJ as the quintessential “Star Wars” movie).

Oh yeah, Star Trek. I know a lot of people consider The Wrath Of The Khan the “best” Star Trek movie ever made. I hate to say this, but…as much as I love The Wrath Of Khan, I love Star Trek 3 & 4 more. Actually I don’t know which one in that trilogy I enjoy more. I think I love all 3 equally. With Star Wars, it’s easy. I love the OG trilogy, & Return Of The Jedi is my favorite. For trilogies like the Star Trek (within the original six) and Back To The Future, I can’t choose.

The Motion Picture (1979) is much better than people make it out to be imo. I know the cinematic universe kicks in better with Wrath Of Khan, but TMP is that middle ground between TOS and the films. You can tell Gene was more involve (and some people consider that a negative).

I just got a my first 4k TV ever, and now they’re shoving 8k down our throats already. HDR is still growing as a standard for 4k TVs. Hell, there isn’t 4K content on many services yet. What, so now that 8k is out, people will think 4k is “too blurry” (that’s what they started to say to 1080p). If someone tries to claim that 4k is too blurry in the next few years, they are a fool. How can you struggle to see things in 4k? You shouldn’t have a problem with 1080p.

Speaking of 2160p. What’s the recommended disc size for burning 4k?

4,7gb

Are you sure? When burning the Despecialized ISOs (with the menus), I needed discs that were 25GB or higher.

I think he might be “yanking your chain”…

05-Star.Wars.4K77.2160p.UHD.DNR.35mm.x265-v1.0.mkv is 48.3 GB (51,888,898,602 bytes) in size. That will not fit on a BD50, so you would be looking at something like a triple layered BD100.

BUT, it’s not as simple as a size of disc - to make the ISO you need to author a build a UHD 4K compliant Blu-ray, which this source video will not be. I’m not aware of anyone working on such a thing.

Forget burning it to disc, and instead pick up a high quality, fast USB stick (64GB). That will be your best option at present.

Or I can just change the mkv to something more fitting for a disc. I personally want physical copies for my film collection (I’ve been making cover art). BD100 would make sense space-wise. For this movie in particular, I’m going to find a way to burn it on a disc (if an ISO is never made) with the original English Mono Track only (as it was heard in theaters in 1977).

What universe is Discovery part of? The Prime Universe (Which I doubt). I know it may be just a creative decision, but if it were the Prime timeline, then the Enterprise would look exactly as it did in the original series, based off of canon (unless they’re going to retcon it by showing that the Enterprise was later refitted to what we see in TOS).

Damn…it would be easier if there was an ISO file already available.

There will be a full Blu-ray disc release eventually. Patience.

Patience? You’re talking to someone who’s still waiting for 4k83.

And you’ve contributed what to these projects, exactly?

Does anyone know a “joke” when they see one??? Everyone is twisting what I said, and making me look like asshole. It’s the internet alright…

Internet sarcasm is hard.

And since threads like these tend to be filled with entitled demands regarding timelines and available formats, it’s easy to mistake such a joke for a legitimate post.

Well, now you know (and knowing is half the battle). I’m aware of the hard work involved with these projects, and they would never exist if not for this hard work.

Greedo’s subtitles are part of the video track, so you don’t need to worry about that.

Open the MKV in tsmuxer and uncheck everything except the video track and the mono audio track. Make sure the “demux” box is checked, set your output folder, then hit start.

When it’s done, you should have a xxxx.264 (I think - the video) and an xxxx.dtshd (for audio) as separate files. Clear everything out of tsmuxer and load these two files into it. This time, instead of checking “demux” you’ll check “Blu-Ray ISO.” Run it again and you should end up with a functioning BD ISO file.

Note that you’ll need 3x the amount of HDD space as the size of the MKV file, unless you delete the MKV after the first (demuxing) step, in which case you’ll only need 2x the amount of space.

3 times the amount of HDD space? How so?

This is off topic. I used tsMuxeR try to covert from MKV file (only the Star Wars movie itself) to Blu ray ISO. When it reached to 98.8%, I get an error code 1073741819. Is there anyways to fix the prob? How can I fix this prob? Thank you.

I had the same issue but was able to work around it by first demuxing it to separate video and audio files. Then remux those individual files into a Blu-ray and it should work. It doesn’t matter if you just use some or all of the audio files either.

This went over my head completely. What if I just wanted to create an ISO with the English mono track only (including Greedo’s subtitles)?
