But TIE's shoot green too. They're small.

They're a lot bigger than a blaster.

Maybe green ones don't work as well in atmosphere, explaining why AT-ATs, despite their size, don't use them.

I've seen a lot of good work done in the Preservations forum with upscaling, mostly GOUT >>> not-crap. I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to reading up on how good DVD >>> HD upscaling can be done. I know such things'll never equal the quality of a real HD source, but I also know it can be done a lot better than I once expected.

I'm not too sure if I even have the motivation to restore the B&W ones.

At least with the pilots, restoration is the first step before colorization. I know colorization can often be disappointing, but in the heat of the DSII battle, it just may work.

OK, but I'll still focus on doing the color scenes first.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

When this project is complete, I suggest a big rar or zip or whatever be released (via spleen, etc) as a fan-edit resource.

I am absolutely blind.

Further confusion about how you saw 3d effects in The Hobbit.

I kid. Seriously, no need to apologize.

And I second the request for ROTJ first. After those, Luke & Biggs?

Scene list updated!

Why the new timing ?

Because the DS interior is actually blue.

I thought it was greenyblue?

I'll have to double check these later when I get home, but...

Is anyone interested in restored versions of the OT deleted scenes included in the 2011 Blu-ray set?

Yes. That would be great.

FanFiltration said:

Turns out that the father connection was a internet Hoax.

They had me going.  What a fricken wind up this all is.   

I'm staying out of the reporting of news stories game.  I'll stick to posting random photos from now on.  

 

I hope this has taught you a lesson about conspiracy theories.

Test response.

Please ignore.

bkev said:

And for that matter, why did the good guys / bad guys switch laserfire color between the PT and the OT? That always screwed with my head back when TPM first came out.

Just remember, who is good kinda switched sides too.

You_Too said:

Much better!

Indeed, it now resembles a shot from Star Trek (the original series). Which is, really, closer.

I was able to see the 3D effects despite my stereo-blindness.

Wait, what?

I assume this means that you felt the immersion of stereo without stereo, I guess thanks to 48fps. Right?

Not really, no.

I meant that I could actually see the little 3D effects in "3D"; e.g., birds flying out at my face.

I guess I don't understand stereo-blindness, then. My mistake.

Thorin's hate for Elves

This is a necessary consequence of the film being made after Tolkein wrote LOTR and after Jackson made his films. The dwarf/elf relationship is clearly one of animosity, whereas he may not have had that all figured out as much when he wrote The Hobbit. These new films are very much an adaptation of the book, in the context of the previous films, and this is one area where it shows.

Pacific Rim, as far as I can tell, could also be titled "Anime : The Movie"

Well, it sure does make the movie feel older. Can't say it's an improvement or bad thing, just...old looking.

canofhumdingers said:

Is there actual footage of Luke missing the first time with the grappling hook? In one of the vintage docs or something? While I don't recall ever seeing it in the film itself, I could SWEAR I've seen a clip of him missing and gathering the cord back up to try again... And I mean an actual film clip, not just a picture or anything.

Perhaps you've seen Harmy's joking mockup.

Just remember, if you listen to the music, as Williams and the LSO recorded it, there's no room in the scene for a miss. That means, if such a moment was ever even filmed, it never made it to any cut that had music.

Baronlando said:

Interesting, since the Biggs scene was put back in 97, the people from the 97 SE would be able to shed light, some of them must be on twitter (hey stranger things have happened, like hearing from Harry Shearer 30 years after the fact). The negative for that scene would have been in a completely different place if it had been in the movie and lifted out vs. if it had never been in at all. (On a small roll of its own with the trims in one place etc.  or still on the big rolls of unused raw negative). 

This is the first good idea in settling this debate that I've heard.

TheBoost said:

but I get weird looks for holding my annual "6 Star Wars Movies In A Day" marathon. 

That's just a matter of statistics. Whatever's most common is normal. Whatever's not very common is weird.

Objectively, they're of equal value.

Crap we turned this into PT Redux ideas.

If you post, you contribute.  Otherwise none of us would come here.  That's real enough for me.

Pretty much this.

All I "contribute" is stupid posts and unsolicited advice.

I know the feeling.

Except I did post a lot of pruneface pictures. That was my moment of glory, folks.
