Naw, you need a high level of movie pirating experience to get access to the files.
I've been watching Harmy for years, holy fuck at that WOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO sound obi makes when he scares off the Tuskin Raiders Lmfao, what was that?!
I stomached as much as I could, the Jabba scene makes no sense and is one of the most useless, redundant and moronic additions from deleted scenes I've ever seen.
I know this stuff has been in for years but it's incredible to see it in real time.
But hey! Visual quality is pretty good

Lol no. There's a lot of shit out there that is hard to get but this ain't it.
As my brother was saying today, this is like punching a hole in your wall just before you sell your house.
I don't know anyone who has 4K77 or 4K83, and I know plenty who looked into it.
I have a shitload of past (way in the past) experience with Usenet and even I just threw up my hands.
2011 rock shot:
2019 version:
Further proof these are new scans with effects redone.
As dumb as the rock being added was, at least they improved it if they're insistent on sticking with it.
These do not look 4k.
A lot of things on this service don't look 4k.
Dark Crystal for example looks SO much better than everything I've checked out here so far.

Just Disney please switch greedo scene back to normal and get rid of the no from Vader in ROTJ. I can live with the rest.
I would have bought the Star Wars Blu-Rays day one but I straight up never bought them after I saw the Darth Vader no. Wanna put a bunch of CG puppets sing a song for 3 minutes? Fine. Put some inexplicable rocks in front of R2? Whatever. Fill the frame up with unnecessary garbage? I can look past it. But I don't want a version of the films that so aggressively and blatantly fucks with what is probably the major emotional beat of the entire trilogy, completely taking the wind and emotion out of what we've been building towards for the entire thing. Fuck that. It's straight up not worth watching or owning.
And there are people who think Rian Johnson is fucking with their childhood?
real 1 is cleaned up.
5 to go!
They need donations.
These were made in 2012/13
I said this earlier in the thread but nobody noticed lol
People who bought the blurays sent the message they wanted this.
Plus the quality was terrible.
As to George, this is the person the internet wants back....
Usenet not needed at all. I'm sure your friends didn't try hard. This is not an exclusive club.
the comparisons have been done, blu-ray wins slightly in picture quality even if you have a very fast connection, audio blu-ray wins hands down.
Apple TV & other streaming services do have the advantage of HDR over standard blu-ray though.
There's tons of stuff filmed for the OT that never got utilized. For example, they dug into the archives to find new footage for some of the pilots in Rogue One during the Battle of Scarif who also appear in ANH.
What do you mean by "actual?" There are no pre-SE cuts, if that's what you mean.
I mean is there an actual 4k version of it on Disney+? When I play it, it just looks like 720p-1080p to me.
I know it's still SE though.
Is there 4k80 avaiable? Plus I've only seen 4K77 with DNR floating around. It's not bad DNR but I love my film grain.
No way. Netflix 4k looks leagues ahead of anything I've seen on D+.
There is something wrong here.
I believe ANH is a legitimate 4K master, but I'm not sure on the other two.
Yes, and 83 as well. There are multiple versions of each. DNR optional.
There is no 4k80 yet, still in progress.
I've peeked around and only see one version of 4K83. It isn't clear whether it's DNR'd or not.
It's incredibly distracting and redundant. Han basically repeats his conversation with Greedo.
Plus the weird "bounce" Han does when he walks over the tail is as artificial and vaguely creepy as the blaster dodge.
I almost feel like I could tolerate the SEs for the most part if they'd left that on the cutting room floor, but I think Lucas was just high on "LOOK! I WAS PLANNING IT OUT ALL ALONG! REALLY" energy.
Same, the rest of the shit I can groan along with. But the Jabba scene is just inexcusable garbage.
Han calls him a human for God's sake.
I totally forgot about this. What an incredible mess.
I almost admire how brazenly dumb it is lol
Out of all the shit Lucas has done, if I had to pick, I'd say the Jabba scene in ANH has to be the worst offender. It literally makes no sense at all and is a substantial scene, not a one second shitty edit or anything.
I'm currently working with a director who can't stop rewriting a script, it's been in development hell for half a decade, I think he's got a weird compulsion, he just can't help himself. Lucas must be suffering from the same thing, kinda like OCD. I predict many more changes to these movies for the next few decades.
Greedo never shot. They added that later so that Han didnt look like a killer
original:
I seriously wonder what's stopping Disney from releasing the OG cuts, but declare the changed version official canon.
Maybe a clause put in by Lucas when he sold the franchise?
Lucasfilm respects Lucas's final vision as the "true" version of the films, and Disney allows Lucasfilm to make those decisions. It's that straightforward.
I still like how to this day people refuse to acknowledge Kennedy/Lucasfilm and still exclusively refer to Disney as being behind EVERYTHING, and yet Feige/Marvel Studios are almost invariably referenced over Disney in Marvel discussions.
I never minded the changes, but this latest one is truly non sensical. They've used the same shot that was shown seconds earlier, but only zoomed in, so that the alien walking from right to left wouldn't appear. It's shoddily done.
Lucas wants to tinker it with it, fine. But at least redo all the dated 1997 cgi that looks way worse than other stuff that's 40 years old. And if you do new things DO THEM PROPERLY for Force's sake!
That said, I truly don't understand how a version with seamless branching wasn't done by now for all six movies. This was done on the Alien Quadrilodgy DVD set (!) 15 years ago (as well as Blade Runner and others). You could even have a menu which let you choose which scenes you wanted, letting you keep stuff that made sense (aurebesh on the Death Star, for example) and playing older stuff (like Han Shot first).

The camera close up on Vader looking down on Luke was amazing in how much emotion was able to conveyed through a mask. One of the best scenes ever.
And then it was fucking ruined by adding in that stupid scream. It's the only change to the OT I think is unforgivable.
I hope it's at least the 2004 version (bottom one)
Lucas really jumped the gun with the CG improvements. Nowadays you could probably make a CG Jabba that fairly closely resembles the puppet from ROTJ

As much as I loath AOTC, it does have the Jango Fett fight scenes and I really enjoyed the chase for the assassin in Coruscant.
It's really too bad it was shot on 1080 digital. That really sucks!
1920x817 because spherical lenses but panavision ratio.
817p, baby.
Yeah. I completely forgot about that until I watched it with my gf for her first time. "You're a wonderful human being" was a little jarring to hear lol
Luckily there is always a way to watch this movies in the original intended way thanks to fan efforts that far surpass any of the official crap that Disney is trying to sell. So in that regard Star Wars is in a fortunate place.
I always thought that line was supposed to be tongue in cheek, but didn't realize until later that the original scene had a man playing Jabba
:/
And a blu ray writer.
You know, everyone got one of those.
I appreciate the animator who thought to animate Jabba after that line like he was insulted by that.
Yep. This disappointed me so much when I watched it yesterday. That "No!" ending just doesn't fit.
