I was honored to be the first full interview recorded by Benjamin, the Star Wars fan preservation historian! Listen to me talk about the SE, my history with Star Wars, and I almost cry about George Lucas (but not why you think)! Check out his other videos too! youtu.be/2hbpzbf4dP0
I missed that. Wow!
Is this Ronto in the 2004 “Trilogy” Game Boy Advance game the last time we saw one?
Very excited to eventually update the VisComps with these new restorations! People will be even more interested to know the differences between them, and the changes made over the years.
I also have to make sure the team didn’t miss undoing any of the changes! 😅
The amount of people complaining that there won’t be low resolution dinosaurs taking up the entire frame for the first time in 30 years is wild.
So far the leaks look flawless. I’m expecting they’re not going to miss anything. And if they do, I’ll be the first to say!
We have leaked footage, we have official confirmation. There’s no need to be leery! It’s happening!!!
Why wouldn't it happen, it literally says it's happening.
I had to pick a random serial number for my Ghostbusters Proton Pack, and I picked The Night of Macklunkey. LOL
I am going to claim responsibility for this until proven otherwise.
I've never been so excited. It's happening. #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...
If you can’t trust Harmy, who can you trust? #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy youtu.be/J29_AcURtyc
Also, two of the directors passed away, and neither of them had a say in what happened to their movies over the years.
I don’t think he cares about Star Wars anymore. Not to criticize the Disney era, but I think him not having a say in the new stuff may have softened his feelings on the old stuff. Also, it doesn’t matter if it’s awkward, it’s film history & needs to be preserved.
Our long national nightmare is over. #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy
A compilation of Anakin Skywalker figures from Return of the Jedi.
This would be the first time since 04SE, per @galacticfigures.bsky.social
I can’t believe that they’re selling a Force Ghost set with a swappable head for Anakin. I mean, I can…
One time in high school I was on a road trip with some friends and they asked me to tell them Star Wars. So I quoted the first twenty minutes of the movie.
Thankfully the people who care have the ability to add whatever tracks they desire!
They have to reedit the movie, the way they’re doing it. Which is the correct way.
I assumed they would scan the best backup copy of the original version they had and say it’s good enough. This effort is going back to the original negative as often as they can, but going to the next best version for any VFX shots. Not recompositing, preserving the original work in a pristine way.
There’s no reason, legally, morally, historically, that Disney wouldn’t be able to or wouldn’t want to restore the original Oscar-winning versions for the 50th anniversary. I just wouldn’t have expected them to actually rebuild it from the best final elements, instead of just scanning an IP.
Just in case anyone is confused by the leaks, Lucas having a clause in the Disney sale contract saying they could never #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy is fan theory nonsense. People saying Kennedy said they wouldn’t “touch it” are misinterpreting something she said when not hearing a question.
!!!
Trying something new! How about self guided comparisons between frames of the Sarlacc beak to show how the elements were changed starting in 2004! slow.pics/c/hkqaJMxn
Yeah, I went through the colorists’ insane ramblings and tried to pull out facts, but they make little to no sense. forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com/threads/marc...
Happy anniversary to this mess.
