I happen to have that DVD nearby, so I'll see if I can get some screens from it once I finish my current WIP.

I hope Disney releases the original trilogy as originally released on DVD. I still have the damn trilogy on VHS because that is the only option. If I am wrong, someone please steer me to a place I can buy the DVDs without Lucas' fucked up "enhancements".

You can't buy the original theatrical versions of the original trilogy on DVD or BluRay. There are up-scaled laserdisk versions floating around the net, as well as the despecialized editions. |

eBay or Amazon are your only hope of getting the Limited Edition DVD release from 2006. The ones with the covers that look like this:  |

The statement from LucasFilm has ever been that the original silver-oxide masters were destroyed by the processing required to produce the Special Editions because they had degraded so much. No digital copies exist without the changes because....
um...
uh...

Uh... Kyle overwrote them? Goddammit, Kyle.
Uh... nobody backed them up?

That's funny because I own the box set of both the originals and the special editions on seperate discs.

I thought the last time they released the non-late 1990s "special edition" versions was on VHS and LaserDisc right before the theatrical release of said special editions.
(But I have not really paid attention to Star Wars since the Phantom Menace destroyed my will to live.)

As do I. If I remember from when it was announced, they ripped those off of laserdisk and on to the DVDs so they are only 425TVL copies of a digital format. The calls for BluRay are people asking for higher-res (requiring a scan off of the original film masters which are 'destroyed') and with the same retouch & remastering treatment the SE got, which isn't going to happen. |

They went out of their way to make the DVD of the original crappy. Isn't it non-anomorphic letterboxed?
There was a digitally remastered 1995? VHS set that's absolutely fantastic. They redid and restored the effects with a very light hand and left the film alone other than leaving in the original sin of changing the crawl to add the "Episode IV" nonsense. I would kill for those on DVD. Don't tell me they did a full remaster of the film and never cut new negatives. That VHS set came out in full screen only and Lucas announced it had been mastered fullscreen 4x3 and therefore there would be no widescreen of that version ever. A year later after people bought them on his word, the widescreens came out so you got to pay again. Don't believe what Lucas says. The masters to the original or something equivalent are floating around somewhere.

Yeah the 1995 set was the THX edition. It had the really striking packaging using the close-up of the faces. (Vader/ Storm Trooper/ Yoda) http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Strikes-Digitally-Remastered-Edition/dp/B001AWKDK4Here's a really good comparison of the different ways the film has looked with each remaster. http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2601599You really start to see the heavy-handed sin of Orange & Teal color correction when they're side-by-side like that. I have no real doubts that somewhere there still exists an untainted copy for true remastering of the originals (Hence my blustering excuse-making RP upthread) That doesn't mean we'll ever get to see it, even with Lucas out of the picture. |

Sooo Yoda is getting a stand alone movie. I'm not sure how I feel about this, it could be majorly awesome though, if it was young Yoda beating thie shit out of everyone for 2 hours.

Two hours of fortune cookie dialog, can they write? How long can they put out a movie every two or three years, and will they stop before they've driven the franchise into the ground? Are we ready for a Boba Fett feature?

To be fair to Lucasarts, it is sort of difficult to shoot a daytime desert scene without having some shade of yellow-orange and some share of blue in there. Only certain scenes were on in the desert, look at all those scenes, most closely at the flesh tones. In the movie-censorship link, look at the color difference between the 1995 THX and the 2004 Digital. The Imperial officer with Vader is orange. The silver in R2's dome is distinctly blue-tinged instead of silver-white down the page. It's awful. http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html |

Joe Johnston, the director for Captain America, pitched a Boba Fett stand alone movie to Lucas. Now that Disney owns all of this, I wonder if he'll get his shot. |

What he said. I have no desire to see scores of fan wank movies focusing on single characters like Yoda. I might have bit on a Boba Fett standalone movie in my 20's but the prequels shit all over that character to the point where not one fuck would be given about such a project. |

If they ARE going to do a Boba Fett movie, Johnston is a pretty good candidate. Hell, he basically made one before in Rocketeer.

Han Solo and Boba Fett are getting treatments definitely. Yoda is still a maybe or something. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/02/06/star-wars-spin-offs-young-han-solo-movie-boba-fett/Several sources close to the projects confirmed this was the direction the development was taking, although each cautioned it’s still very early in the process and, well, the deal could always be altered futher. Lucasfilm and Disney declined to comment on the information.
The Han Solo story would take place in the time period between Revenge of the Sith and the first Star Wars (now known as A New Hope), so although it’s possible Harrison Ford could appear as a framing device, the movie would require a new actor for the lead — one presumably much younger than even the 35-year-old Ford when he appeared in the 1977 original.
The Boba Fett film would take place either between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, or between Empire and Jedi, where the bounty hunter was last seen plunging unceremoniously into a sarlacc pit. Exactly who would play him isn’t much of a complication – in the original trilogy, he never took off his helmet. And in the prequels, we learned he was the son of the original stormtrooper clone, played by Temuera Morrison, who’s still the right age for the part if his services were required. |

Goddamnit, a Yoda movie would be bad enough, but a fucking Han Solo movie? No. Just... goddamnit, NO. Han Solo is Harrison Fucking Ford. No one else has ever played the character. No one else ever SHOULD play that character. There's just somethings too iconic to be fucked with.
