SW blu-rays have changes to the films again

Not open for further replies.
George Lucas: First, the audio was always there. The sound of Palpatine's lightning bolts always drowned out the "no" spoken by Vader. In 2009, when we started working on the blu-rays, we were at a time with THX audio mixing equipment to pull out the lost dialogue from Vader. So, now we can finally hear Vader.

Bullshit.
 
George Lucas: I was so disappointed that there wasn't at least one serving of ice cream left, I literally screamed "no" out loud! I'm surprised I didn't wake up anyone.

Maybe because in your world George, no one is listening.

Indeed. That's the biggest pile of crap I've ever heard.*

*Not really. But it is crap.
 
Uh...I doubt that interview is real. yeesh.

As for people who weren't going to buy the blu-rays anyway...then why do you care what changes are made?

I hope they fixed ROTS so that Padme died when Anakin choked her, and the babies were delivered post-mortem. Then Jar-Jar gets to name them: "Meesa call you Luke! And meesa call you Leia!"
 
Here's an image that purportedly shows the new Ewok eyes. They look...okay, I guess. Certainly they're very convincing on a technical level, but I'm not sure I like their eyeballs looking so human.

hahahahahahahahaha

George you are one epic troll

The funniest part is they didn't even fix most of the messed up lightsaber fx the fanbase has been complaining about for years. Instead they just added in silly shit like Ewok pupils and CGI sebulba to jabbas palace.

I hear the transfer isn't even that good. Apparently it's the same as the HD versions from television
 
Ok, so can everyone agree that everything should just go into the public domain after 30 years? Blinking Ewoks? How would you like to be the poor effects guys who get to listen to George's ideas and implement them? It's got to be like helping your girlfriend shop for clothes.
 
Reports are coming in that they stiil haven't fixed all the shoddy lightsaber effects from the 2004 dvd release. Jesus Christ!

They had six years to fix something so important yet they couldn't even do that right? But they were able to do something as useless as making all the Ewoks blink? :wtf:

This Blu-Ray really looks like it is going to be another rush job.

Making Vader yell NOOOOOOOO in ROTJ really ruins the climax of the entire OT. One of the best moments of the entire saga becomes a parody.

Not only that but it was the one part of the original trilogy that never interested me (in the three-pronged climax to ROTJ). With the prequels, it really made that scene stand out, and gave it much more of an impact.

With the 'noooo' added, it just takes away the impact of the scene.

Well, I'm of the view that Padme should not have been seen to die and Anakin should have been left burning on the side of the volcano to preserve the impact of Vader's first appearance in a New Hope and to add a seemingly sinister twist to Ben blaming Vader for the death of Anakin when we all saw him lose his cool and kill the guy. I prefer to keep the six movies as one overall story rather than treat the prequels as prequels and I dislike the fact that Lucas reveals so much in 3 by adding an extra half an hour to the movie.

It's part of Lucasfilm's company policy, 'If it ain't broke, you ain't trying'

They're saving that one for the 50th anniversary release.

Take it from me kid, watching her shop for the clothes pays off when she lets watch her trying them on.:bolian:

Yeah, I agree with that. We didn't need to see the Emperor show up for Anakin/Vader on Mustafar.

Yeah, that Peter Kats interview thing is a *satire* - the ice cream paragraph alone should be an obvious reveal of that fact!

I doubt there's going be a "noooooo" from Vader on the ROTJ lightning scene, and if there is, I'd expect it to be a short sharp *angry* NO!, as in "right, motherfucker, I'm stopping that lightning shit right now!"

The Krayt dragon call was changed in the SE - it's not a new BR change...

Jokemeisters are getting a living out of SW-nerds on the net, playing on their reputation after the SEs and DVDs. And Netdom falls for it every time...

It also pays off when she lets you try them on!



Perhaps I've said too much...
