Didja guys happen to read the article on the new set where they discussed the 360 degree HD turnarounds? At first it was the least interesting extra I could imaginem however it sounds like many are models and props which have never been seen from those angles before, certainly not in HD, and specifically it's being pointed out by LFL that people who like doing scale SW models and props are going to have a wealth of new stuff they've never had before. Just saying is all. Also, there is some speculation based on an image and caption at one of the Sw.com sites that we may be back to the original Greedo scene :love Oh, and with along with the re-rotoscoped sabers and laser extension in ANH, please dear god let them have re-rotoed that craptacular looking opening shot to put the glow back into the lasers, the T4s engines, and brought the star field back from the dead.

I can't believe they're blaming the lightsaber screw up on the HD transfer.

Well, they sure as hell can't tell the truth. "We didn't give two ****s about the DVD version, so we just slapped whatever transfer we had laying around on there. What do you mean 'did I look at it first'?"

The DVD was a rush job with practically zero quality control. But since they probably made literally a billion dollars off the set, they're not going to **** off all of their fans, many of whom would probably demand a refund via lawsuit.

So instead they blame it on the "limited" color space of DVD, an excuse that 99% of the people will believe because they don't know any better. And that's only among the people that bothered to look the problem up in the first place, and that's only among the people that even noticed something was wrong.

Am I glad they're fixing it? Absolutely. But this is the kind of QC that should have gone into the DVD release back in '04. There's no two ways around that.

Which makes this whole situation all the more stupider since those viewers who believe that rubbish probably own every other Star Wars related DVD release. Whether it's the live action prequel movies or an animated series, the lightsaber effects on those DVDs look fantastic. Yeah, I can totally see how it's the DVD format that caused all those problems.

Not to mention Star Trek and all the other films with roto effects, that all transferred just fine
 
why does it seem the older george gets, the more entrenched he is. hes never admitted to anything going wrong as far as star wars is concerned just that the "originals" dont meet his vision. even now hes tinkered with the prequels (cgi yoda in tpm). when will it end george? for all things holy when?

That one's easy.. when he's dead.
 
Based on the Digital Bits article, there seems to be more surprises on the blu-ray release. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they reverted back to Han shot first. Unless I missed it, no one has confirmed either way about that scene in this release.
 
If only he'd put all of this time, energy, & talent, into making NEW stuff, instead of mucking with the old....

Not ashamed to say, I'm skipping these.
 
they have the "prequels" available separately, who would buy that toilet paper on a disk? I'd love to see sales numbers of the entire 6 movies vs. epi 4-6 vs. prequels
 
..and whats so wrong with Han shooting first, I mean if Greedo came to my house tonight and threatened to take my SUV I'd shoot him
 
Han's blaster has been replaced by a wookiee-talkiee. When asked about it, George said Drew Barrymore called him and mentioned that it had always bothered her.

The numbers are already skewed when they put the extra content only in the six-pack. Had the 4-6 extra content shipped separately with the 4-6 discs the vote would be more accurate.
 
I figure the bonus stuff will be on youtube in about, oh...seventeen seconds after the release. $90 dollars in my pocket.
