I’m curious, why are these in 720p? Surely they have found and scanned all of these at higher rez?

For some reason ALI is uploading all the deleted scene stuff at 720p instead of 4K like they do for the normal clips, no idea why though.

This is admittedly concerning

So far the deleted stuff is all stuff we’ve seen on the Blus, just higher quality, right?

I just realized this release will inevitably spawn a bunch of threads of people re-timing it to match the laserdisc or whatever

Tighter cropping than 4k80, but still not the revisionist crops of George’s Version.

One of my favorite moments in ESB. Hopefully we’ll get a clip of Willrow Hood running next

i still can imagine if lucus arts and lucus films releases a undone pre special edition uncut unrated and uncensored super extended verison along with a 1997 special edition style uncut unrated and uncensored super extended verison for the 50th anniversary

Eh?

It’s just like the original except using the takes where Chewy is naked.

They’re going to digitally paint out the bandolier?

I think technically this site’s goal is unrealized until it’s available on physical home media, but yes it’s pretty close.

Are new clips still leaking? Or are these ones that leaked originally and are just being posted now?

They still haven’t fixed their upload script? lol

I think is is an intentional leak at this point to get feedback from technically-minded fans.

The stars! The stars!

I have not seen this, but I just wanted to say I would be miss the inclusion of a giant worm lady crime lord, surely a very paperback-y element of Corellia

I have tried posting this numerous times now and everywhere i’ve uploaded it, it has instantly been blocked. My only option was to upload it to google drive. I don’t know how long this will last due to the bandwidth restrictions , but it was my only option. You can view the preview or download the clip to see it in better quality ( which is what i would recommend )

If you want to prevent your video from being blocked due to copyright issues, add this to the YouTube description. (Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

I do not believe that the copyright bot cares what you write in the description. Fair Use and other US copyright law terms apply whether or not you put something in a video description. This is like the idea that posting a particular copy-pasted paragraph on Facebook somehow protects you from their data collection; it does nothing.

a gif comparison of ALI and the UHD…

Ooooh now we’re in my favorite stuff. And wow does that look good. Simply incredible. Any chance of a similar GIF from 4k83?

the skies on Tatooine are blue because the skies on Tatooine (Tunisia) ARE blue… They’ve been desaturated on home media (especially in the UHD) but have always been and meant to be a deep and bright blue…

If they’ve been desaturated on home media, does that not imply that they’re meant to be desaturated?

Kind of a strange question for a forum partly dedicated to complaining about all the ways the colors have been wrong on home media releases of this movie.

A little blue, but not very blue. Seems about right to me!

A bit of gate weave on that one

After viewing it a few times, I think it is a real problem. I think it’s a “crossing the line” issue, as they say in filmmaking.

Specifically it’s between images 4 & 5 of this sequence. By having the sandcrawler on the left, the camera has completely swung around from where it was before, in a very jarring way. It’s made worse by then swinging back around to where we were before for the next shot, but it would be a problem even without that.

I think the reason it’s okay to then do it for image 7 is that Threepio’s presence in frame anchors the viewer somehow? Anyway, continuity issues are less important than the visual language of film.

A post with a link to a youtube compilation of many of these clips made it onto r/starwars over on reddit. So, knowledge of this is certainly spreading.

It seems likely that it’s yours, yeah. They don’t name a source, which is suggestive

Why is sandstorm still b&w? Because they don’t want to (or can’t) track down uncut negative and conform it to dailies edit?

What do you mean, “still?” It’s in color on the Blu-ray.

Lest anyone forget, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQwEcD17RvA

Worth reading, though if you’re on this forum you probably already know about these issues.

The link is not open for viewing, Ady. It asked me to request permission

Ok, lets get one thing straight, George Lucas is the Creator of Star Wars and every other property he has created; He will always have a say and the final say. If he wants something to be X, it should be like X and honestly he’s been pretty kind considering how straight up evil the “fans” have been. The “Fans” at some point start to get this ridiculous idea that they know better than the creator and should have control over what happens with his creations.

You don’t think this is an odd thing to say, on here of all places?

In case you really don’t understand this, Fruit672, this is a message board mostly devoted to

a) Making digital bootlegs of the original versions of the OT so people can see them, against Lucas’s wishes

b) Fan edits of those films, also against his wishes

I had missed that redacted pastebin partial. Any idea what the .WI source is? The others all make sense.

very interesting that they’ve partially re-recorded foley for the new 7.1 mix. That’s…well, maybe it’s understandable, but it’s surprising nonetheless.

VVI stands for Vista Vision Intermediate or Interpositive. This has been confirmed by the clips that have been named as such…

Ooooooh that makes so much sense. Thank you.

Honestly I hope that’s true
