Yeah, it sounds to me like Alec Guiness was a quality, respectable actor who did a silly movie for money. He didn't enjoy dealing with pestering younger actors, and he really got tired of obsessive fans knowing him from this one role, instead of any of the more serious roles from his career which he actually enjoyed. So what?
In which some guy does a total ROTJ rewrite: http://disgruntledindividual.blogspot.com/2012/10/opinion-reconstructing-star-wars.html
Unfortunately, this isn't actually feasible for a fanedit.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. That is where I live.
Also, can we agree on a name for this guy that isn't ASCII art? I love the art, but it's not pronounceable.

Seeing the color correction in the remastered edition had me curious about that sacred technicolor print since it's such a miracle to have it at all for reference; if there was anything that concerned me the most about what fans have been dealing with for so long, it's the potential for future generations to be brainwashed by how Lucas wants everyone to view the films as they are instead of keeping such a beloved piece of pop culture in tact to stand the test of time. Unless I didn't read into the details enough to which anyone is welcome to correct me, it saddens me to think we may never see Empire or Jedi in such a preserved condition beyond the limitations we've compromised with; despite the reality of the situation at hand, just being able to not have to settle with the official versions and relive them as we remember them is a priceless opportunity to which Harmy and everyone else who made this possible deserves eternal praise as the rebels who dared to do the impossible.I agree with you. Harmy is working on V2.0 of Empire(which will be done some time next year), and then V2.0 of Jedi(about 2- 2 1/2 years from now).

That can't be how long we have to wait for the other two.
Welcome to the world of hobbyist productions. Time is money. No money? Lots of time.
Don't tell me that didn't make sense.

So apparently this was shown in support of RotJ - ring any bells for anyone?
Not only was that really enjoyable to watch, but...

Why should I ask you questions?
I don't really like the colors either, no.

If somebody (cough, cough) Adywan (cough), could replace the obviously-CGI space ships and such in AotC and RotS with models, I think a great service would be done.
This is why I wish I had significant amounts of time and knowledge that I currently lack.

Frankly, it doesn't seem to be an improvement.
Well, a more intricate plot, then. Trade disputes!

Have we talked about how many Sith-sabers can be removed from the prequels? Sidious seems a must, based on his ROTJ dialogue, but Maul seems impossible. Dooku, as a former Jedi, is fine.

"The programmers of www.StarWars.com put up a temporary webpage with mocking the "Godzilla" campaign with a poster lettered with the green glow reading "Plot Does Matter - May 1999", in reference to Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace."
This made me laugh out loud.
In all fairness, TPM has a deeper plot than a monster movie. It's true.
Unless he just meant DVD9...
Hasn't he decided to stop doing all things public? The man takes retirement seriously.
Mrebo said:
They add nothing but were supposed to push along the symbiotic narrative of TPM (which I thought fell flat on all levels).
Ooooooooooooh.
I had never picked up on that.
Right then, ask Troyig all your questions!

Actually, before the PT existed I always assumed (and very much enjoyed the thought) that they'd preserve the father reveal when they DID get around to making them.
Interestingly, growing up, I never thought this. I always figured that the surprise would be ruined, but that was okay - It'd still be a great movie.
Hey Harmy, ever considered taking up metalworking as a hobby?
Possibility: Dayv himself posted this in advance of attempting suicide. Thankfully, he didn't succeed, and is thus okay for now.
Universe shrinkage!

There is a new remaster of this just coming out on bluray in the UK and Europe but unfortunately without the mono soundtrack.
Would be cool if someone put the mono soundtrack over this new video
Comparison between the Lowry remaster (2012 UK Blu-ray) and U.S. Blu-ray:

That 2nd shot. The bluuuuue. :(
For the SE, though, I'd expect them to all have the same font, as they were done at the same time.

" I saw on another forum today where someone is claiming to have the print copy we screened and they are claiming to be scanning it."
...I wonder if this is the "news" negative1 said we'd find out in a couple of years.
No, this is definitely a reference to MVerta, who has access to a different Technicolor print.
