yeah, i saw it on blu and in 2d at the theater and its blah every which way-

lacked color, lacked depth of field, lacked texture

same DP though which is surprising

- i think that the RED works great for the social network type films of the world but not yet convinced for 200mil event films.

double as weird were all the reviews talking about how great it looked... where do these people come from.

the spiderman trailer looked like its brother- just drab.. thanks red.

Harrison picks her up but before leaving the bar he gives the tender a five and says...

Carrie has also admitted that she was coked out of her tits during pretty much all of Empire Strikes Back.

Did anyone check the BD Rips for the Humdinger glitch? We know that this has been one of the last changes.

Are there any other changes than Wickets eyes?

When the remote shoots and hits Luke, the saber finally becomes blue
Greenish. Hopefully they at least fixed it in that master shot were it's just obscenely green. Otherwise, it's a bald-faced lie.

I'll stick to my Star Wars: Revisited and then replace the ESB and ROTJ when those Revisited versions come out. But like I said, set is still worth it for me due to the features and the PT.

As far as picture quality goes I’d rather have it not so good that we can see the fakeness or other impurities. (Like the first harry potter looks so fake on blu ray). I know people want perfect 5s for the video but I’ll take a strong 4 for the OT and POTM if it means it doesn’t look fake. What I’m most excited for is an amazing audio score with a good maybe not great HD picture. I’m sure ROTS and AOTC will be amazing on both. We need to be realistic on what to expect you can’t dress a turd up and call it something else. (Not calling star wars a turd it’s just an analogy)

Well, apparently they can't make a blue light saber blue either.

And by the way, I most certainly can dress up a turd and call it something else, I just choose not to, that would be gross.

We're still working on some shots for Empire Revisited. Be patient, it will be very good. And specifically it will have correct colors.

Thumbs down

And like that hope was dashed. Dammit, Lucasfilm, these results would get you fired if you worked on the restoration of any other classic films. Probably going to cancel my pre-order. I have too many movies to buy this fall and winter to spend $80 on a piss-poor, half-assed product. Lazy is all it is. Oh yeah, they fixed the green lightsaber all right. They failed to realize that there are problems with the lightsaber throughout that whole scene. The problem is that Lucas approves shitty work that would get people fired in other businesses and companies. There is simply no quality control or sense of responsibility in Lucasfilm.

P.S. Those new EwoK eyes are freaky as ****! And in the scene inside the worm when Han falls into Leia you can see the black plastic that was put on the stage. You can also see it when Chewie is trying to get up the boarding ramp. How does this kind of stuff not get spotted after 34 years?!

I hope Lucas didn't put in his will anywhere that his heirs can't mess with his films or release new versions.

Well I guess you can call it whatever you want but to everyone else it’s still just a turd.

This is the first time I have said it, because until now I was hoping this release wouldn't be a re-affirmation that Lucasfilm has some of the worst quality control outside of the Asylum Films studio. I have so far 11 other blu-rays to buy between now and January. This list will increase as more blu-rays are announced. I have bills and I have other things to spend $80 on. If Lucasfilm wants my money they have to show me through their hard work and dedication of delivering a quality product. This is not a quality product from what I am seeing here.

Hopefully, these videos turn out to be fake. The ewok eye blinks look "off" too.

That ewok effect looks shitty so it's probably real.

Armageddon must have happened while I was sleep because it got negative in this thread very quickly.

It's not green. It's a very, very light blue, almost white...like it's always been since '77...

Yeh, but to cancel a pre-order just because of this ONE thing? It is the only confirmed 'problem' with the release so-far, and I don't count the blue color timing since IMO it looks pretty good anyway, there is definitely no severe FOTR EE business going on here.

Guys at least wait for the final product to complain. It’s like someone finds out they are getting a free million dollars. Then when then they find out it’s only 900k they freak out and complain that they were lied to. Wow settle down
