Star Wars episode 2 DVD (1 Viewer)

I just hope they figure out how to avoid the phenomenon that looks like edge enhancement by the time they get around to mastering the Ep II DVD.

Are those pics of the DVD & VHS boxes for real?

It's The Phantom Edge Enhancement Menace!

No, they're not, they were created by a fan using Photoshop. I got it here:

To those that expect it to be better then the previous one, is that based on the previews?

I can't look at it that way since I love the previous one, but, yes, the previews look outstanding.

 

[Dave H]

I think the previews look good and think it will be better than Ep. I. However, I don't expect these new Star Wars movies to match the original ones.

You will have EP2 THIS YEAR- 'Nuff said

That's good enough for me. Ron has never let us down with inaccurate info!

 

[Anthony R]

That DVD cover looks pretty cool, but I imagine the actual cover will have a different color scheme than the TPM DVD, possibily bluish or greenish.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

And, if it follows the latest design scheme (used for TPM VHS, latest SE VHS set, and TPM DVD), then Episode II's DVD and tape boxes will be white.
TPM - Black
AOTC - White
EIII - Black
ANH - White
ESB - Black
ROTJ - White
We already know that the TPM, ANH, ESB, and ROTJ boxes follow this pattern. It is only logical the remaining two will as well.

Actually, the disc is being worked

on as we speak.

I would not lie to you about this!

You'll see it at year's end!

Honest!

 

[Sean Moon]

to quote everyone's favorite Dark Lord of the Sith...YIPEE!

 

[Josh_Hill]

Thats great news. Thanks!

 

[Brad M]

Anyone know if the Attack Of The Clones trailers are on disc anywhere? I imagine lots of people would buy the trailers if they were released by themselves. :b

 

[RicP]

Ron, you're such a tease!
Donny,

Brad,

I started a thread in Studio and Manufacturer Feedback a while back asking for just such a disc. There wasn't a lot of support for the idea, and I doubt if it'll happen this late in the game. I'd love to be able to see them on my TV instead of my computer, though.

 

[Dave H]

I realize my topic may be a bit "off base," but considering this was filmed in digital, will it be of better picture quality than Ep. I? Will the the transfer from digital to analog film show an improvement? This, you would hope, would trickle down to a better DVD, as well.

 

[Brad M]

It was worth a try Greg. Thanks for the info.

 

[Michael Dueppen]

If they apply anything (like EE) that results in halos again the disc will not necessarily look good just because it's from a digital source.
I hope they really try to find and eliminate the source of the ringing as they promised a while ago.
Keeping my fingers crossed...
I'll get the disc anyway. No sense in lying to myself

 

[RobertR]

The most sensible approach for the DVD would be to do what was done with the Toy Story discs--a direct digital downconversion with NO processing, resulting in a finely detailed picture with NO EE.

It remains to be see if the actual behavior is sensible.

It remains to be seen if the actual behavior is sensible.

Exactly my thought, exactly. LOL
