Original Trilogy DVD- Discussion thread

All general discussion on the new DVDs in here please!

(Just watching mine now, btw; prompt delivery from Amazon having ordered quite a while ago)

same here
so can we make a complete list of changes? no page review i found had it.

There are way mroe changes than I thought, although most stuff is only 1-5 secs. But what about those green flashes when lightsabres hit?

Again these green flashes... I heard about that. What is that? (I haven't got it yet, two more days...)

I tokk a screenshot of the greenflashes here:http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f5/t308276.html

Hmmm...odd...

Well, I just wanna know ONE thing: did they finally fix the rancor scene?

More or less. It is not done all CGI, but they did something, I don't what they did but they did something. Check out the link if you want to see it:

they digitized the little monster in the trash compactor scene :'(

I'm hearin that Luke's light saber in ANH hasn't been fixed at all. When he gets it at OBI's crib, and when he is on the Falcon they still look like shite! This boggles my mind because they worked on them for the OBI/vader duel, and the rest of the films, but not the worst sequences of lightsaber shots in the whole Star Wars saga. Seriously, What the FUK??

Yeah that really irritated me too.
The lightsaber at Ben's house is still as it used to be, it is still blood on the cantina floor, and in the first scene with the lightsaber in the Falcon it is green, not blue

But look at the DVD menu of the special features.

It's blue! clear as day. There better be an explanation on the commentary. Why the hell is it green? Is it green in ESB?

that's because the guy who did the menus was working from the old transfers since the film was being restored at the same time he had to do the menus. This was on SW.com. He had to restore the footage he wanted to use himself. plus menus have their own animations put in by the team doing the menu. if that scene is animated, then he just wanted it to look like it should. if it isn't moving, then I guess he just figured they'd fix it on the other end of the dvd production, at ILM or in restoration.

Well here is a screenshot of the scene:

But as u see this is not the same scene as the one u showed. Luke turns the lightsaber off. And when he turns it on again it is blue.

So its green, then he turns it on again and its blue? How do you fuk that up?

well the greeness is just for approx. 5 secs, then it turns to this light blue color it has when obi wan gives it to him

What color is it in Empire Strikes Back?

It's not green, it's blue all the way. That's an optical illusion, like everyone seeing lots of purple sabres in AOTC.

What do u mean? It's clearly green.

No it isn't; you are fooling yourself. It is blue throughout the entire sequence.
