jonathan7 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've kind of given up on George, lets be honest pretty much everyone but some of the fools over at Lucas Film knows the ANH Lightsabers especially Luke's on the Falcon need fixing, yet the most glaringly obvious thing they haven't fix on this point I dothink that fans are now ironically doing far better with his creations. I may well get the Blue Ray set at some point, but what annoys me is why they couldn't include the original cinematic releases as part of the set.... I'm aware of this website; http://www.fanedit.info/SW.html which for those unaware of fan edits would be worth a check out. Props to Q for pointing me the way of the above. I have to say I thoroughly recommend Adywan's EP IV 2004 Special Edition Revisited, its frankly superb and IMO the best version of ANH click here for a review. Out of interest guys does anyone have an recommendation for fan edits that are worth a look? Especially of the PT... And TPM and AotC in particular...

adamqd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I know there is a TPM circulating with minimal Jar Jar, but I haven't heard about it in a while... I get ma search on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The Phantom Edit Maybe I should check some of these out XD EDIT: Oh yeah, I've seen a clip on YouTube of the Death Star edit talked about in that review... it's like... crazy, it just turns into a BLOODBATH.

You know what's really ridiculous is that fact Adywan added tie-fighters look more realistic than Lucas Arts CGI of all the X-wings, which looks very CGI to me.... The Death Star battle is SO much better!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's Lucasfilm/ILM's CGI, not LucasArts. In any case, I like Adywan's revisited version, and I'm waiting for TESB Revisited aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure how he did it, but they look great, he seems to use a mix of models and CGI. Just those X-wing fighters for the 2004 version just look very CGI (at least to me)... Same difference Same incompetence, same lets P*** off our fan base attitude... In any case, I like Adywan's revisited version, and I'm waiting for TESB Revisited aswell.

Alexrd Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Same difference Same incompetence, same lets P*** off our fan base attitude... I don't look at it that way. Those CGI shots are from 1997, and they've holden up quite well. How does that show imcompetence or hate towards the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't realised they were done in 97' thought they were 04, look alright for 97, but I'd still say they are clearly CGI... How does that show incompetence or hate towards the fans? Sorry I was being flippant, I wasn't saying the above shows incompetence or hate, but generally LA and LF; don't care what the fan base thinks. Have over the years come up with worse and worse plots and shallower and shallower characters.. Just me 2 cents.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 @J7: Well y'know, I have the mid-90's VHS original trilogy unaltered but simply remastered for sound and cleaning up visuals, all I'd have to do is find a VHS-DVD recorder that had the option of either NTSC or PAL for burning the DVDs. *cough-bootleg-cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 my dad ordered the blu ray box set, and it came on it's day of release (yesterday, at least in the UK). I have mixed feelings of it. Picture ITSELF is little to no different in my eyes, but special effects are cleaned up in places and little details are picked out. Not the best set of blu rays though. Mind you, I haven't watched the prequels yet, which could be loads better in blu ray for all I know. So yeah, not a fantastic blu ray. Highlander was a fantastic blu ray. This was not Highlander.

mimartin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Love these insightful reviews, they make me almost want to cancel my preorder…I haven’t watched half of it, but what I have watched is okay, but it isn’t that good. Guess I’ll just have to wait until the 16th to see for myself. I mean it could be okay, but it most likely isn’t as good as ALF, but it could better...

Lynk Former Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'll be getting my set later today and will do a chronological viewing... I've got a couple of hundred of Blu-ray movies of different types so I'll do a bit of comparing with what I have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Now I'm ticked at George, why do all these foreigners get Star Wars blu-ray before us Americans?

Lynk Former Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 So far after watching ANH on Blu-ray... it's pretty much the DVD version with pretty much all of the same problems of that release. As for the PT movies, all of the digital elements are crystal clear but the parts of the movies that weren't done digitally had some noise if you went up really close to the TV... not that you'd do that to begin with lol.
