Yeah, on my screen I'm not seeing any green. There's a slight tinge of color... but not "green" green.

I prefer most of the changes. Or can go one way or the other on some of the others. But that's the only one I don't particularly like.

Doesn't ruin the movie for me. Since I love the films, warts and all. Even the original versions which had numerous glaring flaws.

Cool. I noticed that my question could've been taken as a jab(which it wasn't). It's hard to tell sometimes, when people are being serious or sarcastic on here.

I almost feel like keeping up with all of this stuff is going to ruin the surprise for me, when I finally get the blu-rays, but I can't stay away.

Full-Res comparison:

1984 VHS

[Show spoiler]

2011 Blu-Ray Rip

[Show spoiler]

I was forced to use my 1984 tape (the most deteriorated of the many I own) because all of the other ones have some sort of copy protection, which prevents my DVD Recorder from recording them... the 1995 VHS is clearly blue, but the 1984 shot is so bright it's hard to see and looks different on a TV being played through a VCR

lol it's so tiny it needed extra emphasis

Not only do I see green, I see dead people.

That's what she said! Sorry, couldn't resist.

Still looks the same to me. Almost pure white with a very slight tinge of very very very light blue color.

Neither of them are vibrant blue, which is obvious. And I wouldn't call either of them "Green" either.

Okay... I can appreciate the fact that the colour difference doesn't matter to you, but saying they both look the same is absurd.

I admit it's a minor issue, but it bothers me nonetheless.

On my screen there's no real difference. The shade of blue tinge is slightly different, but it doesn't read as green.

It's certainly not the green color seen on the last DVD release. And it's not the blue from ESB.

To those saying the lightsaber's glow is not green I present you with...Green. Direct captures using VLC Video Player.

I really hope the new Noooooooooooooo is a joke

okay, dare I ask the question that's been bugging me for a long time: who cares if his saber is green


at this point, the idea of a very elaborate prank on the Star Wars obsessives is not something I'll rule out.

[anomynous]

Just heard the Obi Wan yell.


This can't be real.

[CGHULK]

George has lost it! This NO scene is a parody in itself!

[wildphantom]

Have been out all day so have only just heard about the Vader dialogue in ROTJ. I've now seen the clip and just will not believe it until I see proper reviews or people confirm they've seen the discs.

If it is genuine then it's an absolute disgrace to the OT. By far the best scene in the movie, and the most powerful in the entire saga - utterly ruined.

I soooooo hope this isn't true. Over the years I've defended Lucas's tinkering and tolerated it. But this, if true, is unforgivable and completely unjustified.

[frogmort]

I just wonder why these shots don't look anything like the preview shot that they showed us. It seems like false advertising.

Oh, God. Why do I think this may be a distinct possibility? It sounds exactly alike, aside from any tonal changes made in post-production.

Gotta say I'm pretty much with you. I've been a die-hard SW fan my entire life and I have defended Lucas countless times for his questionable decisions, but I'm finally to the point where I'm just fed up. It's inexcusable that with the money and resources at his disposal a proper looking release of these films can't be put out in 2011 on Blu-Ray. I remember Robert A. Harris saying once over at Home Theater Forum that he would kill for the chance to do a restoration on the OT, but instead of hiring the best guy in the business to do his work apparently Lucas just gave the job to some guy who probably used to wash his cars before the promotion. It's a joke that a multi-billion dollar company like LFL is re-using transfers from 2004 with horrible color problems, not fixing hardly any of those problems and then has the balls to tout the extensive work they have done over the past 3 years! Once again, if it weren't for guys like Adywan, Harmy and Wookiee Groomer who actually care enough about these films to give them the treatment they deserve we wouldn't have any options for watching a decent presentation of the OT.

Because its supposed to be blue and its a simple VFX fix that even a person on a home PC can do. If a person at home can fix it then its pure laziness that Lucasfilm haven't fixed it.

Heres an idea rather than spending hours,days,weeks, or months compalining about these changes to HIS movies. Why not choose to just not watch them, and be done with it allready. either watch it or dont most ppl dont care one way or another. In fact all of the worked up cliched "GL raped my child hood whines" just add fuel to the sterotypes about star wars fans.

Oh, they're very much real. You have to remember this was always part of George's vision; and had to know the back story to the yell, he had to know where the yell came from. And he just didn't have the technology to do it that way in 1977.
