Original Trilogy DVD- Discussion thread

But, Ben's lightsaber was also blue. So it couldn't be his.

Then lightsabre color has absolutely no designation other than Red. All this time, I was lead to believe than Green actually reflected a Master Jedi Knight.

I used to belive so before, but have later understood that the color has nothing to do with Jedi rank. Remmeber the Younglings in episode II, several had green sabers.

Mine hasn't turned up yet 🙁

Has the duel of the fates theme been added anywhere? Everyone was speculating that it might be added to the light sabre fight in ANH.

I would like to think that the over the top band had been removed from jabbas palace in ROTJ but I know it wont of been. I liked the original reebo band. I didn't like any of the comedy that was added to the OT ie the jawa falling from the creature, the droid hitting a smaller droid with a sledge hammer, the band... The only bit of comic relief needed was that from R2 and 3PO. Things got even worse in the PT with the introduction or JaJ Jar but thats another story.

The saber probably looked white/faint blue like the other shots, but when uping the color levels (i.e. cyan--photoshop users, I KNOW you know what I'm talkn' bout, cmyk?) the print had cyan added to it to bring up the picture quality and put a slight tint on the whitish/blue blade, hence the slightly more green appearance. It is blue, with the cyan tint from them increasing the cmyk levels in the shot. Ush is right.
The menu screen of luke training had an animated blade done by the DVD production crew. It is NOT the same as the film version. That's why they look different.

In other news, the matte lines in ANH look f**king great now. In the Falcon shots, watch your old VHS versions, Han and co., in the shadows, don't look right. Now they look clean and crisp with clear cut black shadows and no more slightly grey/black space outside. Now space is black like it should be. Also did anyone else notice they fixed the damn gun noises in the death star chasm scene? finally, that was one of my biggest complaints about the ANH SE. They took a shot of Leia shooting that looked better, but the sound effect on the gun was different. Ben Burtt replied to this saying some prints they had used a .45 pistol for sound effects for the guns. But in the ANH SE, it only happened when Leia shot at the stormtroopers. BUT NOW its has gone BACK to sounding like a blaster and not a handgun. Watch the VHS ANH SE for comparrison if you have know idea what i'm talking about. But overall, I am damn impressed. They look so utterly great now.

It's really odd considering that they didn't use him. It's the same old Boba as allways.
No it's not.

The colour blind people are the ones who think that is green, and are also dumb enough to think that they put a green sabre in there.

People should learn to observe properly rather than jumping to conclusions in this odd urge to make hasty criticisms that people seem to have these days.

Buddy that saber is definitely green.

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

There were purple sabers in AOTC as well 🙄

myself included.

the saber's green, and in one of the shots, you can see a definitive green reflection on some machinery to the left 😬

did they fix Boba's jet pack so it looks more realistic?

i got mine today

great restoration! the only thing i hate is the bad lightsaber rotoscoping, the only good rotoscoping was the obi wan vader seen

but here is the crappy lightsabers

look at this crap...

vaders looks pink

It looks fine when I play it on my TV, so I'm not complatining 🙂

is there any special features of ROTS?

How do you fuk up the lightsabers? I mean how?

well what ya do is......take a classic movie and then f*ck around with it and then release it on DVD in a form OTHER that the theatrical release and piss off your fans.

Does he ever think of how much money he could make if released the OT on it original format. With just better picture quality.

Noticed another fuk up. In ANH when the X-wing pilot captain guys says "I'm going cut across the axis and try to draw their fire" Then it bust into that shot of the X-wings barrol rolling, and it bust into that music. Well the music is gone! You can barely hear it.

Ok about the upset with lukes supposed green saber . You guys keep trying to compare shots , saying its green , white, blue etc. So you have that one pic where obi wan is about to sit down and luke is training with the droid. Then you have the menu one where its clearly blue. They are completly different scenes. When the saber looks green its when its just obi and luke. When it looks more blue its when HANS in the room. Just wanted to clear that up. Im sorry but im not fooled the saber just looks like crap, and i dont understand why they couldnt fix this.

He only pissed off the fans who have no life other than to moan and complain that he ruined his own movies and pick apart every detail instead of enjoying a movie.
