Father has one last gift for us.
Maclunkey to all, and to all a good Maclunkey.

Naw, you need a high level of movie pirating experience to get access to the files.

Lol no. There's a lot of shit out there that is hard to get but this ain't it.
2011 rock shot:
2019 version:
Further proof these are new scans with effects redone.
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.
real 1 is cleaned up.I thought it was already finished, or very close. Last time I saw them one or two years ago I saw the Despecialized editions, if 4K80 takes a bit longer to come out I'll wait until then.
Or else, I can watch my Special Edition 2004 DVDs!!!! Woooo!!!!

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?

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.
4K streaming at it's best is worse than 1080p blu-ray tbh.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.
Considering Apple TV 4K quality I'd really disagree.
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.
I'm wondering, was that just old footage sitting in a vault somewhere or something specifically made for the 4K version? If it is the former, then I'm wondering how much stuff was cut from all the OT? I would love to see it all one day.
What do you mean by "actual?" There are no pre-SE cuts, if that's what you mean.Sorry I'm a little confused. Is there an actual 4k version of the SW OT on Disney+?
I mean is there an actual 4k version of it on Disney+? When I play it, it just looks like 720p-1080p to me.What do you mean by "actual?" There are no pre-SE cuts, if that's what you mean.
It's way more than slightlythe 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.
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.I would argue that they're easily enough acquired by people savvy enough to be arguing about the changes on a forum like this one 😉
I believe ANH is a legitimate 4K master, but I'm not sure on the other two.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.
Yes, and 83 as well. There are multiple versions of each. DNR optional.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.

It's incredibly distracting and redundant. Han basically repeats his conversation with Greedo.I thought I'd finally get over myself and just watch the special editions for my pre-Episode IX saga rewatch, but I saw like two seconds of ANH CGI Jabba and noped out of there. It's so jarring!!!

Same, the rest of the shit I can groan along with. But the Jabba scene is just inexcusable garbage.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.

Han calls him a human for God's sake.
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
Greedo never shot. They added that later so that Han didnt look like a killerWhere was Greedo's shot supposed to hit? The wall behind Han? I ask this because as Han gets up and walks away, there doesn't seem to be any damage on the wall from Greedo's missed shot.
I seriously wonder what's stopping Disney from releasing the OG cuts, but declare the changed version official canon.

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.
As I mentioned in the Disney+
The version of Return of the Jedi here is the the Vader screaming no near the end version
I hope it's at least the 2004 version (bottom one)I thought I'd finally get over myself and just watch the special editions for my pre-Episode IX saga rewatch, but I saw like two seconds of ANH CGI Jabba and noped out of there. It's so jarring!!!
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!
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
And a blu ray writer.Naw, you need a high level of movie pirating experience to get access to the files.
I appreciate the animator who thought to animate Jabba after that line like he was insulted by that.Same, the rest of the shit I can groan along with. But the Jabba scene is just inexcusable garbage.
