I admit that it's hard to judge from one pic, but it's like X-Wing Alliance's "Otana" with ... I dunno, McQuarrie-esque domes?
I only watch films projected onto aged but clean theatrical-sized screens projected from film with decade-authentic bulbs.

(False perspective)
Not wanting to be a smartass, just a real question I asked myself when watching the Hobbit: how could they make false perspective when shooting in 3D? I remember some behind the scene footage of LOTR and I found very interesting to use that old trick of forced perspective. But this can't work when filmed in 3D because the trick is revealed. Maybe forced perspective shots were post "3Dfied" or something.
I could be wrong, but I remember that being a problem with The Hobbit. They couldn't use false perspective, and so they had to bluescreen everything.

Let's have the ST done the Peter Jackson/Christopher Nolan way. All practical unless it is ABSOLUTELY impossible.
Did you see The Hobbit?

Great news. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Ben Burtt announcement.
What, you don't want Matt Wood????

As a writer of film scores Williams is overrated IMO. Brilliant, but overated. Ennio Morricone and Bernard Hermann are the greatest ever composers of film scores. Every score they did featured a whole new soundscape of different instruments and emotional depths.
That is your opinion.
Yes, which is why he said "IMO", which stands for "In My Opinion". He then explained the reasons behind his opinion. All in all, an exemplary post for online discussion.

True, but for people expecting to hear exactly what they heard in 1977, from John Williams in 1999-2005 for vastly inferior films...
Right, gotcha.
Frankly, if you want to hear something like his OT work, go listen to Raiders.
^Yes! Star Wars and Raiders are my favorite scores and both have a very similar feel. A magical, mysterious feel.
I wonder if this means we should check out his Lincoln, War Horse, and The Adventures of Tin Tin soundtracks to get an idea of where he might be in a few years?

Those don't sound like particularly bad ideas at all, and rather fitting.

Is it lossless on the quality aspect? (audio doesn't matter, only video)
All you need to do is to capture it uncompressed over HDMI using something to either ignore or strip HDCP.
drngr might be able to help.
Given that it's streaming from a webservice, and they're the ones that compress it....

Close ups instead of wideshot, and I guess is supposed to imply a little flirting.
Although perhaps this take is flirtier, and the different framing helps with that, I've always thought it was closeups because pan&scan on the original wideshots would be awful, and this take gave them an alternative. TV was 4:3 back then, after all.
They could just act like NJO never happened, and retcon it that NJO was an alternate universe from the new films.
I mean, if they were willing to make up really silly retcons for Jater Mareel... why not.
Just so we're clear, you're not actually assuming that the content of those novels will have any bearing on the films that follow, are you?

It's not difficult to understand why people believe Abrams is getting itchy feet. This is the guy who initially turned down the job, has refused to commit to the scheduled 2015 release, and has bitched about working in the UK (saying it was making him 'crazy').
These things don't exactly fill me full of confidence in him.
Could be a good thing. Lucas had nothing but trouble and discomfort while working on the original film and look how that turned out. He had no complaints on the set of the prequels and look how those turned out.
Yes, that is probably what made the original trilogy better than the prequels.

I was really just hoping for a partial list (not even pictures) of interiors that need recoloring to gray.
Oh, okay I see what you mean.
TPM- federation ship in TPM opening and battle.
- Coruscant senate
ATOC- Parts of coruscant city (bar interior, certain buildings, etc.)
- transport ship with Anakin and Padme (maybe)
ROTS- Rebublic and Seperatist ships are gray
- Grevious/Dooku ship interior
-insides of Republic starfighters
-tantive IV matched to ANH
I think that's most of everything.
Strictly speaking, the ship at the end of RotS is the Sundered Heart, because Leland Chee or whoever decided that poetic symatry should be dropped in favor of continuity. I suspect this matters little in terms of color timing though. Ain't that a bitch?
Uh...what? Citation? This is something no viewer of that film would ever guess.

Oh I miss the Virtual Edition. And TFN's spy reports and photos.

I should clarify, I mean interiors that appeared gray in the OT, their similar counterparts in the PT will be coloured gray. I know not all was gray.
Oh, okay. So, still, no examples?

I was thinking a lot about Bond today, specifically the timeline issue.
The answer is obvious: There is no real, strict continuity. References to previous films can be made whenever it's useful, but in general the filmmakers do not care. Anything beyond this is absurd retcon and against the spirit of the films.
Let's be clear: This was discussion between people in the industry, not actual Disney or LFL saying anything.

Every summer, the AFI Silver here in DC has a "Totally Awesome" 80's series. The other week, they showed a '97 SE print of ROTJ (they showed all three SE's back in '05 to coincide with ROTS being in theaters):
http://afi.com/silver/films/2013/p62/greatfilmsofthe80s.aspx#starw
They make no mention in the description of this being the 1997 version, with cgi that wasn't even possible back in '83. They do at least say 1983/1997 for the year, the correct 135-minute SE running time, and list McCallum as one of the producers alongside Kazanjian.
When asked on twitter which version, they did confirm that it was the Special Edition.
