Star Wars in 1080p! - Blu-ray Forum

Hollywood81 · 02-19-2008, 10:42 PM

So the other day i was out with a friend and tells me

"So i got all six Star Wars movies in 1080p!" and i was like

"mmmmm no you dont." And then he was like.

"No really I have them on my PC i downloaded them.

I was still thinking he was pulling my leg. And told him i didnt believe him because I knew that none of them have been released yet on either Blu-ray or HD DVD.

Making a long story and argument short he looked it up on the interweb and found out that it was aired on a HD TV provider.

Here we found a comparison between DVD and The 1080p Sky feed.

I was wondering since there are already HD copys is there plans on bringing this to Blu-ray soon?

Relesae date is 2115. I don't care though. I will never replace my VHS FULL SCREEN Star Wars movies. No grain and No black Bars.

i think its gonna be hard to see the detail on such a small picture im not really impressed with the difference from what i can see from there but nice one for loading the pics up,i knew you could get them off the internet but id rather wait for the blu-rays im sure theyll be better than anything you can get now.

Blu boy · 02-19-2008, 10:50 PM

well i thought this was another thread asking when star wars is coming to blu. but at least you have some thing to back it up. this would definately help blu ray replace dvd.

If you click on one of the images, it takes you to full sized version.

Click on the picture LOL.

Btw it's DVD vs 18mbits CBR H264...

STARSCREAM · 02-19-2008, 10:53 PM

I have seen them in HD from HBO at my friends and they looked waaaaay better than the dvd's. I can't wait for a Blu-ray release. I have seen threads before where people recorded the HD versions when they aired and have them in 5.1 as well and burnt them as a blu-ray copy. I have been searching forever for somebody who did this so I could buy a copy.

ya i agree. once i watch the HD ones ill update and let everyone know how they looked in motion. Im sure the Bluray version will look better than his.

Prolly the special editions

WickyWoo · 02-19-2008, 11:09 PM

It's not 1080p, if anything whoever encoded them made them P. No one, ESPECIALLY satellite broadcasts 1080p

To me the shots look a bit washed out, the DVD color is definately richer, and with SW there's never a question of whether it's Lucas approved

highdefw · 02-19-2008, 11:12 PM

I have the Star Wars movies in 1080p...Around 18 GB each. Even though they're 1080p, these will not go on Blu-ray disc. Trust me, George will remaster all these movies when the time comes.

P.S. Even though they're 18 gb, they look sweeeeeeeeeeeet

aiman04 · 02-19-2008, 11:17 PM

Confused. Which one is HD? I think the original pics are much better than the mouse over.

And yes, the source should be 1080i IMO.

xtop · 02-19-2008, 11:18 PM

yeah theres no doubt its 1080i, i think people are just confused and think its 1080p
