Anyone else wonder if Hayden is still at the end of ROTJ?  Of all the 2004 changes, that was the most criticized.


Hayden still looks the same as he did then. It would be a bit better if they filmed new footage of him that was actually meant for the scene instead of just reusing test footage. Still, I miss Shaw...

No, reusing ROTS footage in the film proper from an alternate angle. Lucas loves reverse angle cameras. ROTJ 2004 edit comparison.

Pause at 2:28 in ROTJ clip and, 4:18 in ROTS clip right as he starts smiling.

First part of the ROTJ edit in 2:18 of the ROTJ clip is 4:34 in ROTS clip.

Reverse angle camera basically.

<li>Paramount / Universal did Gladiator for the appalling quality video.</li>

They set up an exchange program, but did not concede that there was anything wrong with the first release, so it was not a product recall as such.  I don't remember 20th Century Fox ever doing a product recall.


 IIRC, they (Universal) did the same thing for the Back to the Future boxed set, regarding framing issues (just in Part II, if memory serves).


The Universal Back to the Future disc exchange worked like this. If you knew where to look you could get a number to call the costumer service people. They after taking your information of name and, address would send you a free prepaid envelope. You put Parts II & III in there and, they sent out the replacement discs to you in a brown cardboard box with packing material inside. The replacement discs came in unbranded clear CD cases.

The reason behind the Back to the Future framing issue was that they used ILM film masters for the original discs. I suspect that they used those masters due to possibly being a generation before the final matte of the effects shots. Alongside the framing issue all three discs suffered from certain player selective problems in regards to playing the fact tracks and, the conversation with Michael J. Fox special features. This occurred AFAIK due to using recently hired employees to do the DVD coding straight out of college. I could be wrong about that though. Anyway to fix the framing issue Zemeckis supervised the reframing of Parts II & III. They also fixed the fact tracks special feature problem on the discs. Since there was nothing wrong with the framing of Part I those discs were not part of the exchange program The Part I fact track and, conversation with Michael J. Fox errors remained.

Depending on what time you sent your discs in you would get a different replacement disc for part III. The early replacement discs contained the designation "V2" in the copyright info. For Part III another replacement version is out there with slightly different framing. It was sent out without the "V2" identifier or, any visual difference on the disc image. Nevertheless, it's often thought of as "V3" or, version 3. V3 was sent out to the later replacement disc crowd. I believe it's V3's framing on the Blu-rays.

AFAIK the re-release of BTTF disc set for a lower price contained the V2 and, V3 discs. Further the re-release with the ride footage each movie sold separately I think contained V2 and, V3 corrected framing.




Oh yeah... Star Wars... Um, ILM is company that is Star Wars related!!!!! http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/1693/happyx.gif

I'm a lifelong Star Wars Fan of the newer generation.  When I was young, I remember thinking the Prequel Trilogy was cool (not good, cool), and I never gave the Original Trilogy much thought.  Of course, that was until I found out that there was a DVD of Star Wars with two versions.  That got me interested in the Original Trilogy.

I was more drawn to the Original Theatrical version

I got a PM from someone complaining about the bullshit going on in off-topic, I checked a few threads and saw a load of Frink vs twooffour, Warbler vs Davy, and decided it was time to lock a load of threads.

I don't have the time or the inclination to read and decide who is wrong or right, or who is a troll and who isn't.


Ah, so if enough people PM you regarding twooffour, might it yield results? You've already witnessed his MO first hand that time you had to temp ban him.


Hm,... *getting PM prepared* *will send right after this*

"I saw security footage of Anakin.......... KILLING YOUNGLINGS!"


I completely forgot that was an actual line in a movie until you reposted it.

The Aluminum Falcon said:

I'm sorry but for some reason, Ewan McGregor's delivery of this just seemed flat out awful to me, which is surprising since he's a good actor. He seems to put his hand on his mouth to smother a laugh, like he's thinking "Why am I saying this?" Natalie Portman's reaction is a bit much as well. It seems like something out of a sitcom where you're supposed to laugh since the character's flat out lying.

The prequels in general are an extreme acting challenge. I mean you have an actor pretending to be the "victim" while shouting "you will die!" "Power, unlimited Power!" while attacking the guy he's trying to peg as bad.

The other actor in the same scene. He has to act like it's not completely obvious that the guy shooting lightning at him is the bad guy. He also has to act like he has to convice Anakin that yeah me, the guy getting shot at I'm not bad it's this guy. When it's obvious to anyone with eyes and, ears that Palpatine's a bad guy.

Meanwhile, in the same scene the other actor has to act like it's such a hard choice to choose who's evil or, not in that scene.

The security footage to me was a ridicilous thing anyways, too earthy except they had to do something and make it a hologram, how's that suppose to be better than in 2D?

A hologram security footage could be very useful in casinos. Getting a close up view of the players hands with full visual control. Though in context of the movie it still makes no sense... Yeah you got a holo-cam in a hallway instead of 2D... Real useful there.***Sarcasm***

I thought young Beru was hot. I'd perform the "binary sunset" on her any day!



Please elaborate on what the "binary sunset" is and what it entails, and do not - do NOT - skimp on the juicy details please.

 


You need three people. Two go down...


While their son watches, listening to John Williams.


Wait, I was down for some "binary sunset" when it was a threesome. It was cool when John Williams music got into the mix. BUT I HAVE TO HAVE A SON TOO?!?!

LOL. He doesn't think anyone has ever been reading his posts, but he still keeps writing them.

Well, that has its own advantages.

It means I can always say with a straight face that I've done that, been there, and always have a post to link to if necessary ;)

You see, if I weren't writing them, any miscommunication would be my fault :p
