The Official Episode-I DVD Thread

Don't know about the rocks being real but I meant that the colors of the drivers and the colors of the alliens, somethimes there are little colors on the rocks, like someone misput there pencil, little dots of orange (sebulbas pod) and a lot of blue (annakin) That's whats bothering me espaccially

I found the Pod Race rather uninspired, but competent and good enough to pass the time. Anakin's pod was SO much better as to be ridiculous, though...

But it certainly did not need to be any longer!

BTW, we didn't see many of the pods destroyed so we can assume that they finished safely.

I always like the pod race scene. Funny enough, when I saw the shortened version in TPE, it did not strike me as very coherent. I have to watch it again, but I do think I prefer the longer original version.

The thing I disliked about it, is that the proceeds of the race is very predictable. And Anakin's and Sebulba's pod getting hooked was an exact repetition of the Speeder Bike race in ROTJ. There were several such thing in TPM that copies events from the OT, as if GL ran out of imagination.

I don't like races in films altogether. You always know who is going to win. But you can't argue that ILM did a brilliant job.

Yerrsot I don't know what you mean about the colours. What little dots?😕

Ush you can't assume anything. We only saw two racers finish therefore the canon is that only two racers finished. After the race you saw some of the racers being carried away in strachers but no sign of the pods.

I'm talking about when the pods are speeding by, you can see some small dots on the rocks.
Nothing major, but I see such stuff

Stop smoking that dope then. 😄

I'm not a great fan of ep-I at all, but I never had much of a problem with the podrace. I think it looks good, at the very least. And it does look dangerous and difficoult. Kids could definitely not do that. The only reason Anakin had a chance was that he was an extraordinary child prodigy and stronger in the force than anyone else ever.

Actually, I don't think the problem with ep-I lies in any particular part at all. The problem is the big picture. The movie doesn't work very well as a whole. There's just a lot of stuff happening one thing after the other, and there is no sense of continuity and unity in that brings it all together to a single story. That can't be fixed simply by adding or removing scenes.

I know the dots are very small, but for some reason I always see such stuff. Don't ask why but it's that way. Like QGJ and Jar Jar tongue, very hard to spot but it's there.

It's you T.V
After you said that Qui-Gon/ Jar Jar's tongue thing I went and watched TPM and there is nothing wrong with it. I can freeze frame my video and Qui-Gon grabs his toungue. Your seeing things. 😱

All my 4 tvs??????
don't think so

You bought them in Belgium, right? 😈

😂

I should have known it!
It's a philips 😈
Now the other 3...

Weblink on DVD is being advertised in the UK as having "Exclusive Episode-II Sneak Previews."

Don't believe it.
Are the DVDs the same as the ones seen on SW.com?
I mean with Mauls face on and stuff

That advert came from TF.N, but was from a standee in ASDA supermarkets in the UK.

Then agin, we don't know what "internet preview of Episode-II" means. It could just refer to the Making of videos...

They're allready in the stores?

Oh no! Just the standees and POP materials.

Than there isn't going to be much about it

That wasn't my point, I was just saying that the POP is advertising the weblink, that's all.
