Is there any other information on the Blu-Ray release? Mostly I'm curious about the "never before seen" stuff. Does that mean we're actually going to get a handful of new deleted scenes, or is the new lightsabre scene all we get? I would cut off my own son's hand to get a good, clear look at the Wampa attack on the rebel base, a good copy of the Biggs ANH scenes, the sandstorm sequence, etc. I used to be a big deleted scenes junkie so anything new is amazing. I haven't gotten excited about anything Star Wars related in ages but any new scenes are bound to get me pumped. The best thing about this scene is that we have the storyboard for it and a matte painting, but it was still a rumor as to whether it was shot at all. I, for one, was convinced that they hadn't. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Aug 14, 2010 |

arioch posted:Reminder that despite how badass Lando is in the in Empire Strikes Back (orchestrating an insurrection and evacuation from right under the nose of Darth Vader, the Imperial Fleet, AND his personal Super Star Destroyer) the latter EU basically has him running one implausible scheme after another, incompetently, disastrously, then has him as a golddigging bastard who marries for money and whose legacy will be remembered as creating an army of robots who were designed to fight and win a war against the Yuuzhan Vong but instead got co-opted into weapons to hunt down Jedi with by Unreconstructed Imperial Admiral turned Galactic Chief of State "Natasi" Daala. Has Lando had any good stories in the EU? I was always interested in him in the 1980s novels, but I've never actually read anything with him in it.

Der Luftwaffle posted:By 1980s I'm not sure if you're talking about the Lando Calrissian Trilogy, but if not then I'd say check it out. It's pretty good in that it has very little to do with anything in the EU and pretty much consists entirely of Lando being a sarcastic bastard and playing space poker at every opportunity. Literally every opportunity, you'll understand when you read it. That sounds exactly like what I'm talking about. Thanks!

Speaking of finding art, does anyone have that image of Vader being "knighted" or "crowned" by the Emperor? I believe it's in a red room and we're looking through columns at Vader on one knee with his helmet being floated toward him by the Emperor. I always liked that one.

Chairman Capone posted:Seriously just how many bounties are there in the Star Wars Galaxy where bounty hunting can be such a main stream, profitable job? I can make myself understand smuggling being so widespread, but bounty hunting is just so weird. Well as ESB showed us, the Empire subcontracts to bounty hunters, so they may act as some sort of vaguly official section of an intergalactic police force.

It certainty is...interesting but it's a total Jedi power fantasy like the prequels, focused on FASTER AND MORE INTENSE. Agreed 100%, but so is the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon and that was awesome.

WebDog posted:There's actually a whole genre of fan edits out there for all sorts of things, mainly it's to cater for people's ideas of a "pure" version of the film. Anyone interested should check out the Original Trilogy fan edits section. You can't download any of the films from there, but you can read about them and the projects that various fans are doing. My favorite one outside of the Adywan Star Wars edits is probably Chronologically Lost, which reedits the entirety of Lost chronologically. Highly recommended for Lost fans, if you start on the day of the plane crash. Obviously before that it's al of the scenes that were formerly flashbacks. e: Warning: most of them are super spergy and not that great. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Feb 6, 2011 |

Aw poo poo. Original Trilogy deleted scenes sizzle reel from the Blu-Ray. I have wanted to see footage of the goddamn sandstorm sequence since I was 10 years old. And the wampa attack on the Hoth base, and I didn't even know a color version of the Treadmill scene existed. I'm guessing not by the fact that they didn't clean up the treadmill footage, but I wonder if there is going to be any effects work done to any of these since Lucas likes to tinker so much. I can imagine him adding backgrounds to the Cloud City Lando radar dish sequence, assuming it's even in there. I really hope Han's extended torture scene is in there. And a dozen others. I want this to be totally exhaustive, but I'm guessing it'll be a bit more cherry-picked - only the best sequences Sorry, I was a bit of a deleted scenes junkie back in the day. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jul 22, 2011 |

No, it's from a company and director that have done many (very explicit) porn parodies in the past. 90% of people are going to fast-forward through the porn, though.

angrylinuxgeek posted:http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/starwarsbds/preview.html My god, not that I disagree with his general assessment, the article reminds me just how loving awful Star Wars fans are. When Matthew Wood says "Trust me, I read the blogs too..." I can just imagine a sad, weary man who's had to spend hundreds of hours of his life sloughing through internet messageboards, blogs, and review sites collecting every little complaint by every single angry nerd about the most minute detail, having to cross reference whether or not he should be using the 1978 mono mix sound when C3PO falls or the 1982 re-release IMAX sound. And he just knows that still, even then, none of them will be happy with the work that he's done when they yell "Why can't I just have branching options that allow me to hear the squeaky pedal on Vader's theme in the fourth scene in Empire?!" That's how I imagine everyone at Lucasfilm feels about fans. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Aug 22, 2011 |

Fox of Stone posted:Welp, looks like I'm gonna have to continue watching the VHS on my smaller TV. If you're into that sort of thing, look into a GOUT fan edit. There are a couple of really solid ones out there that have recreated the original OT cut and visuals, keeping some of the Special Edition changes like erasing matte lines. Hopefully someone puts out an even better one after these DVDs come out.

Jerk McJerkface posted:Honestly, I've heard a lot of people canceled their pre-orders and just downloaded the videos from You honestly think a couple of angry Star Wars nerds on a forum are going to be indicative of the overall buying trend? 99.9% of people out there really give no poo poo whatsoever that Darth Vader says "No!" where he used to say nothing. The vast majority of people buying these DVDs are going to either be fans that buy it because it's Star Wars on Blu-Ray so of course they will or everyday Joe who hasn't seen Star Wars since he saw the Special Editions in theaters or bought the DVDs in 2004 and he has no idea there are even additional changes and still won't after watching them. They are going to sell very, very well.

Crackerman posted:Completely different actor, voice and make-up: I think it was a decent change, but the clarity of the updated image alongside the really poor makeup job on the Emperor really took away from it.

The deleted scenes are pretty rad, guys. I really wish they'd kept the sandstorm bit in simply because the visuals are so striking and it adds some character to Tatooine beyond just sand dunes. Also, the Wampa attack on the base was ridiculously hokey looking. I knew the Wampa suits were supposed to be pretty bad but it looked more like a poorly made halloween costume than anything that would be in a feature film followup to a blockbuster. Even the shot where it was just the Wampa arm grabbing a snowtrooper wouldn't have been enough. I really liked seeing some of the slower moments, too, such as Han and Leia's more romantic kiss or everyone worrying about Luke in the bacta tank. They wouldn't have worked in the film as-is, but it really made me feel like these people were friends rather than just fellow adventurers. And being able to see the full version of Luke building his lightsabre along with the matte painting and such was pretty great since I assumed it was cut before it would have been put together. For those of us without the Blu-Rays io9 collected some and that same user uploaded a bunch more. I'm not sure if that's all of them or not. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Sep 18, 2011 |
