http://youtu.be/Ue7juq5DMf0It's a regular kindergarten.And think about some of the ways the original was promoted. Is there anything kids love more than reading Rolling Stone and watching The Mike Douglas Show?

If they did it, wouldn't they just scan the current version, scan the old shots, and swap them back in at the digital stage?

The shelves are full of blu-rays of movies from the 70s, it's not going to give anyone the vapors to see some matte lines. And if it does, really, who cares.

The negative being permanently altered came directly from Lucasfilm. It was in all the promotional material for the special edition and was reiterated in 2006 when Lucasfilm gave their response to the dvd containing a 1993 laserdisc. And it's true, the new shots were dropped into the A/B rolls...

And (I think) 100% of the theatrical material is still in the REDUX version.

You just described every movie ever.

You really should have asked for your money back.

I thought those are answer prints or interpositives?

Yeah, it's two different guys, two different projects. Despecialized is pretty impressive from what I've seen.

FASCINATING

Yeah, EMPIRE was like a roadshow-style release where opening weekend was 70mm in one or 2 screens in the major cities, with the 35mm wide release (with the new shots) gradually rolling out into June. (By JEDI it was more like a modern wide release)

Yes, there are 2 or 3 shots at the end that were meant to better indicate where the Falcon is docked, near where Luke is recovering. I'm inclined to agree with that although there might have been practical considerations with that one, like removing the distortion from the XWing pilots...

This idea of constant pre-97 changes has been way overstated, it's such a non issue. Visually, the New Hope crawl is really the only thing that's different. And of the 3 theatrical sound mixes, 2 are pretty identical in terms of content.

That would be awesome actually. Considering the many criterions (and the theatrical Blade Runner) that are done that way, perfectly reasonable all around.

So, Star Wars?

Exactly, that galactica disc certainly didn't involve any Herculean effort, and star Wars can certainly mangage that.

Good one, Jay.

Thank god we have you to decide this. Perhaps, someday, you will not ever have to enter a thread about original Star Wars without the terrible burden of reading about original Star Wars.

It's a classic film from decades ago, not a plate in a dinner set. It doesn't need to match or blend with anything.

Personal preference shouldn't mean anything. Just let the movie be what it actually is instead of this new embarrassing grandma with botox.

I can't believe how bad the changes look on bluray. Some of that stuff is like a neon sign that says "THIS WAS CHANGED IN THE 90s! NOW THIS IS TIMELESS. WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?"
