Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

I think the concern is that seeing the title "Despecialized Edition" in the menu right before watching the film only reminds them that the Special Editions exist. 

....well, it's called The Despecialized Edition for a reason. And you label things according to what they're called, so that you can distinguish them. And you learn to accept the past and move on.

Carrie Fisher on NPR

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?

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.

"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.
