Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005)

[leftright5]

Can anyone tell us if the shot in ANH Obi vs Vader duel, when we can clearly see the metal stick of Alec's sword instead of the saber blade, has been fixed?

[Aragorn the Elfstone]

Eh, I didn't notice any teal shift in the least bit before now when it was pointed out. Also, it doesn't seem to be to the degree that FotR was done (FotR also had the disadvantage of receiving an all new color grade, which accentuated the issue).

I'm not willing to go that far off the OCD ledge. I think AotC looks wonderful.

A very, very safe answer.

And for anyone tearing their hair out because of that A Converstion With The Masters screen (misspelling conversation), it's not actually on the disc. Atleast I couldn't find it.

Pretty indefinite talk, though -- he didn't really say anything on anything. (Mind you, they weren't the kind of questions you could constructively answer anyway.)

Post-production took 20-odd months. Principal photography took place summer 1997.

Wow, these pictures are amazing!!! I hope my set gets dispatched soon! Can't wait to see the entire saga again!!! I don't even know anymore which episode is my favorite!

EPISODE I - To me the most classic Star Wars Episode with a mission of two Jedi in the old republic without that much heavy drama. If someone had never seen Star Wars "The Phantom Menace" is propably the one to show what it's all about. It has good Jedi and wicked Sith, high adventure, a race, space- and lightsaber-battles and all the classic characters like Yoda, Jabba, C-3PO, R2D2 and Obi Wan in it.

EPISODE II - My favorite Episode that I have the fondest memories of. After watching Episode I several times in cinemas, the wait for the sequel was magical. I really loved that film-noir mystery vibe, the dramatic love-story (underlined by the haunting "Across the Stars"), the classic arena-battle and Anakins struggle with Hayden Christensen making the part his own with charme, dignity and a dark edge.

EPISODE III - The darkest, most complex and maybe from an objective point of view the best Episode. It has so much going on without losing its focus - much like "The Dark Knight". To see the fall of Anakin and all the drama surrounding it leaves you on the edge of your seat for more than two hours. It's so emotionally demanding and intense that it is at times hard to watch.

EPISODE IV - The first incarnation of Star Wars did lay much of the groundwork. It's in contrast to the previous Episode very simple and linear. The light-hearted banter between the heroes makes it fun to watch. The trench battle is one of the most iconic sequences in the whole saga. Propably the Episode that works as a Stand-Alone movie too.

EPISODE V - To most fans the best Episode. Here the paths of the tragic villain and the self-doubting hero cross in a dramatic way. And THE big reveal in the saga paves the way to the grand finale. I especially like the calmness of Yodas teachings and the philosophical undertones. Here we learn most about the magic of the the force.

EPISODE VI - Here Lucas masters the hard task to combine the lighter tone of Episodes I and IV with the darkness of Episodes III in the ultimate confrontation of Vader, Luke and the Emperor. Especially with the SE-ending where we see the "good" Anakin restored in the afterlife and get to see the celebrations on Coruscant, Tatooine and Naboo it is a worthy ending to an epic narrative that has yet to meet its match

I think The Phantom Menace would have stuck out if it hadn't been altered to match Episodes II & III but that would have been okay with me. It just looks too smooth from the shots I've seen and detail isn't as high as I would have thought but I'm not sure if that detail was there in the first place.

I know they had to add filters to Attack of the Clones becasue the camera gave too sharp a picture showing up defects in make-up and sets etc.

I've got the Skynet edition of Terminator 2 and that looks about the same to me but I feel the smoothness with that helps the films artificialness in some ways and gives it a slight surreal feel. But I would always prefer the original image if given the choice but TPM was always a bastard hybrid.

I'd love to sit here and barter for the next couple days troops. But I have business at Big Bear Lake to take care of! Happy Hour is at 3:00!!!

Why do you think Lando is the one chosen to talk about it? You think George Lucas picked him?

Lando gets it.

This is the "comment of the day" for me, because I feel same too. I love SW SAGA as a whole.

------Exactly how I feel. I am still in love with this saga as well, and find it hard to pick a favorite.

I certainly don't feel as if anyone should be told whether or not to enjoy a release or not - if you like it, you like it. But at the same time, when so many people will accept any middle of the road transfer (I'm not just referring to Star Wars) with a giant smile on their faces, what reason do the studios really have to try harder?

I remember when the first mess of a Gladiator release came out - people were defending it like anyone who saw the blatant issues were insane. If you take issue with technical problems on a disc, you get an eye rolling emoticon and you are labelled 'nitpicker'.

I think that's a rather unfair assessment, and the 'all or nothing' motto doesn't work for everyone. Sure, people may be a little upset that they aren't getting something even better, but for many people, it still bests the DVD by a pretty wide margin, even if it's not perfect. And when something is that much better, even though it's not perfect... yes, for many people, it CAN be good enough.

Comparing Gladiator to this isn't really even the same thing.

Lucas’s response? An eyeroll and a huffy, “Grow up. These are my movies, not yours.”

[mzupeman]

Lucas is right to say it, though. They ARE his movies. The point that other directors took on ESB and ROTJ isn't like Lucas wasn't heavily involved... he just delegated direction to other people. They were still his babies, his creations. If he doesn't want the original versions out there, I may not be happy with that, but it's his decision in the end.

I grew up with the OT, but I enjoy the PT as well. I don't hold the original films as sacred, so I'm on board with most of the alterations GL has been making. There are a few changes I disagree with... but I don't let <1 minute of questionable alterations ruin the other 700 minutes of the saga for me.

Star Wars on Blu-Ray will be the best Star Wars has ever appeared on any medium. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
