Well, it just donned on me, Lucas probably made these changes so we would all talk about that instead of *****ing about the fact that he didn't give us a new transfer..

Sadly, the odds are about as good as, say, getting the UOT on blu-ray before Lucas kicks the bucket.

Or his daughter for that matter. Double

There are three sets available, the rips could just be from someone who only had access to the OT set

Zero. This is "Jedi" as Lucas now sees it.

Ewok eye blinks? New Jabba door? Ruining a once perfect dramatic moment? And yet, the one thing that is glaringly obvious and most people were praying for, consistent lightsabers, has been ignored yet again for this release. Lucasfilm's actions are mind boggling.
Please, please, please I hope the rumours of the "Nooooo!" in RotJ are not true. I think this would be the worst of all Lucas' changes for me. I agree with the above quote that this is worse than Greedo shooting first and Hayden at the end of Jedi. Oh man I hope this is not true.

I fear Star Wars under Katie Lucas. Her father refuses to the listen to the fanbase but Katie Lucas? She outright loathes anyone who says a bad word about her father and trashes them on Twitter. She is far more vindictive of a Lucas than her father.

Expect the worst when George kicks the bucket, Katie holds a clear grudge against those who trashed her dad.

They've shrunk our favourite droids to increase the scale of the shot. It must be the Rancor's entrance or Hutt's must really get big....

Because the original version is sacred.

Remember what that soldier played by Forest Whitaker says in Platoon: "I don't know, brothers...but I'm hurtin' real bad inside."

There's no logical reason why changes like "No" should hurt the trilogy anymore than the myriad of other ridiculous changes.

And yet...and yet...

I have to believe this is a joke. It plays like a joke. A very cruel one.

And that Krayt Dragon yowl? It resembles a sound I made dancing on top of a parked car in my underwear on a moonlit night few weeks ago.

Why wouldn't she defend her father after the vile that's been spewed his way for 14 years?

Yes, shocking that she doesn't want other people saying bad things about her father. The rest of us welcome insults directed towards our parents.

Yes, I know, but now everyone isn't noticing the actual video problems with the transfer anymore. They are griping about the "noooo".

Remember how bad the 2004 color timing is? We are getting the same ol' transfer?

You should see the clip of that scene uploaded to YouTube. It is even more horrible than I imagined. That scene in its original incarnation was filmmaking at its best. Now it is ruined.

The Despecialized versions in 720p look light years ahead of what the Blu-rays will look like in 1080p.....because they're actually PROPER versions of the films with the right colors.

She should defend him. That's her flesh and blood.

But it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. ALL of it.

Adywan, how is the blue in "a new hope", R2D2's dome, the escape pod lid, pretty much any blue in that whole movie. Is is still bright and over saturated? That bothered me more than anything in the whole movie.

As of this moment, I have to hold out hope that this is a hoax. I tuned in late today, is the only evidence a youtube video? Is there any other reason to believe the "Nooooo!" is really in there? Anything official either way?
