Star Wars on blu ray

[Shadowknight1]

What's worse is that Jar Jar has pretty well branded the entire Gungan race as clumsy idiots.  This is just not true.  For example, the Wii version of The Force Unleashed challenged that misconception with Kleef, a Gungan bounty hunter/mercenary.

I got this on Blu-Ray yesterday. Its beautiful

Bit gutted though that after all the hype of deleted segments, they aren't in the actual movies, unless I'm missing something?

There's also a couple of nitpicks I would have liked to have seen fixed, but overall, the original trilogy look and sound amazing!

Most deleted scenes are deleted for a reason.

 Well, what's the point in them restoring said scenes and drumming up a big hype if there isn't an option to watch the movies with them in? Silly in my opinion.

maybe in 4 years theyll go back and change that

They did no such restoration on any deleted scenes.  Watch them.  Unfinished effects, worn down film.  These are cut for a reason.

[AdmiralKathryn]

 I have watched them, perhaps not all of them are of good enough quality, but at minimum the 'Luke completing his lightsaber' one is. Even if quality is an issue, they still could have taken some time to work on them in my opinion.

[Shadowknight1]

I've seen the Luke completing his lightsaber one online, and I have to say, I don't want it in the movie.  It ruins the pacing.

The people that have bought it, so... how are the visual FX? Are all the spacebattles redone?

[Bones]

no, they left them as they were in DVD edition

Including not cleaning up the matte lines?

[Bones]

I've only seen empire strikes back and didn't noticed matte lines around TIE's or planets so I guess they got rid of 'em

My only problem is Lucas' obsession with going back and screwing with the original trilogy. I don't mean the restoration bits but adding in new scenes and stuff like that.

The films have stood the test of time, so why does he feel the need to go back and "enhance" them? I wonder if he's not just seeing how far he can push the whole "how many people will still buy Star Wars after I wipe my ass with it" thing. But maybe that's just me although I know there's more than a few people who feel the same.

 To me it'd be like Paramount "enhancing" the older Star Trek movies with CGI and what not. While I'm sure it could look great there's still a lot to be said about watching a movie in its original form. /rant

the first reason lucas gave for redoing bits in the 97 SE was that he was putting stuff back in that he either had to cut (Han running into skinny Jaba at the ship was one), or couldn't film due to budget constraints.

[Bones]

I was disappointed to see that none of the deleted scenes got back into the movie in remastered condition... It would be cool, jsut look at Lord of the Rings, special edition was quite nice, a tad too long for my taste but still nice, the best special edition I've ever seen was Aliens and Alien 3 with A3 being completely different and way better movie than original theatrical edition.

Gotta admit Luke's lightsaber construction scene would be completely out of place in ROTJ and would ruin either pacing and introduction of Luke.

You mean like the Director's Cut of The Motion Picture?  Or the Remastered version of the Original Series? :angel

beg your pardon?  people have been wondering WHERE the hell he got the new lightsaber at all.  not only is this construction scene IN the novelization (and you know as well as I do, whatever lucas approves for paper becomes canon), plus, it makes it official that constructing your own lightsaber is the right of passage between "padawan" and Master

[metalnick]

Stuff like Director's Cuts and TOS remastered are fine. I'm talking about when they get so caught up in "fixing" things that it takes away from the film as a whole. *Spoiler* (Vader's new "NOOOOOO" in RotJ being a glaring example imo).

[Bones]

Well he didn't buy it in walmart it IS obvious he constructed it ;) I'm not sayiyng the scene would suck in the movie, I'm saying it would require complete remake of C3PO-R2D2 scene when walking to Jabba's palace and talking about Luke's whereabouts as well as the rest of the party cuz we do see both of them in the lightsaber construction scene right ? the scene of R2 and 3PO conversation is almost narrative, like they want to introduce us to what is going on right now... in other words those two scenes put in the beginnning would make no sense at all.
