I have tried posting this numerous times now and everywhere i’ve uploaded it, it has instantly been blocked. My only option was to upload it to google drive. I don’t know how long this will last due to the bandwidth restrictions , but it was my only option. You can view the preview or download the clip to see it in better quality ( which is what i would recommend )

If you want to prevent your video from being blocked due to copyright issues, add this to the YouTube description. (Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use. No copyright infringement intended)

I do not believe that the copyright bot cares what you write in the description. Fair Use and other US copyright law terms apply whether or not you put something in a video description. This is like the idea that posting a particular copy-pasted paragraph on Facebook somehow protects you from their data collection; it does nothing.

the skies on Tatooine are blue because the skies on Tatooine (Tunisia) ARE blue… They’ve been desaturated on home media (especially in the UHD) but have always been and meant to be a deep and bright blue…

If they’ve been desaturated on home media, does that not imply that they’re meant to be desaturated?

Kind of a strange question for a forum partly dedicated to complaining about all the ways the colors have been wrong on home media releases of this movie.

After viewing it a few times, I think it is a real problem. I think it’s a “crossing the line” issue, as they say in filmmaking.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Specifically it’s between images 4 & 5 of this sequence. By having the sandcrawler on the left, the camera has completely swung around from where it was before, in a very jarring way. It’s made worse by then swinging back around to where we were before for the next shot, but it would be a problem even without that.

I think the reason it’s okay to then do it for image 7 is that Threepio’s presence in frame anchors the viewer somehow? Anyway, continuity issues are less important than the visual language of film.

Why is sandstorm still b&w? Because they don’t want to (or can’t) track down uncut negative and conform it to dailies edit?

What do you mean, “still?” It’s in color on the Blu-ray.

Lest anyone forget, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQwEcD17RvA

Ok, lets get one thing straight, George Lucas is the Creator of Star Wars and every other property he has created; He will always have a say and the final say. If he wants something to be X, it should be like X and honestly he’s been pretty kind considering how straight up evil the “fans” have been. The “Fans” at some point start to get this ridiculous idea that they know better than the creator and should have control over what happens with his creations.

You don’t think this is an odd thing to say, on here of all places?

In case you really don’t understand this, Fruit672, this is a message board mostly devoted to

a) Making digital bootlegs of the original versions of the OT so people can see them, against Lucas’s wishes

b) Fan edits of those films, also against his wishes

I had missed that redacted pastebin partial. Any idea what the .WI source is? The others all make sense.

very interesting that they’ve partially re-recorded foley for the new 7.1 mix. That’s…well, maybe it’s understandable, but it’s surprising nonetheless.

VVI stands for Vista Vision Intermediate or Interpositive. This has been confirmed by the clips that have been named as such…

Ooooooh that makes so much sense. Thank you.

I’d still argue Ady’s might look better. Disney and Lucasfilm has had a TERRIBLE track record of quality on home video releases and I’d be willing to bet money that 4K77 and Despecialized will still look miles better than an official release.

If the leaked clips are indicative of final product… nope

But anyway, that’s a discussion for another thread

Yeah, the vimeo channel videos seem to be ‘deleted scenes’ and ‘raw elements’ type content - a few of us found them really interesting (as well as cool to look at). They could be in indicator towards a physical media release rather than just a DCP for a theatrical run. I do hope we get to see some more of those kind of videos.

The snowspeeder helicopter plate isn’t used in the film, is it? I watched “Search & Rescue” and it doesn’t seem to be in that sequence; can’t think where else it’d go

Jason, you might want to mark the following as containing obvious pre-SE visuals:

ANH

  • jqrqtt
  • cjn4h7
  • pl18qv
  • elr3og
  • cxtuez
  • pvz5z4
  • yvwa9o
  • s1dkz0
  • s7krth

ESB

  • lbzlvi

ROTJ

  • r5ox4r
  • aac2dl
  • ainil1
  • 75767l

The vimeo clips are mind boggling. Why are they digitizing unused landspeeer and snowspeeder background plate footage? Is there any reason other than recomps to digitize that asteroid? Yet the ANH clips suggest this won’t be recomposites. So, that’s pretty mysterious.

They’re certainly farther along with ANH than the other two movies. Almost nothing from the heaviest model-work sections of ESB & ROTJ.
