Back on Bluray topic....
Has anybody noted this update to STARWARS.COM yet about the restorations? The images have finally been made "official" to me now, since I tend to only believe things from the actual source...

Good OFFICIAL information on the restoration.... check it out here

That's pretty cool!
Looking forward to this feature now; I wasn't before but now that I've seen how it's going to be implemented, I think it'll be neat.

I don't think anyone seriously thinks that Aunt Beru's 70's Show attire needs to be digitally updated.

Given Padme's gowns and the fashions of rest of the PT, it fits the OT era and Beru's age well enough.

Especially when Tatooine is the ass-end of space and doesn't likely get Fashion Magazines.

It's been posted and picked apart. There are some glaring errors in there, depending on whom you ask.

LOL at anyone who doesn't believe those are real screen shots...

This was posted last week, but there is no harm in a repost for those who might have missed it. Thanks.

I concede, just checked the website and it says visualise your favorite star wars moments. There's nothing there relating these moments to the Blu-ray, except the timing of the release of this new page.

Now now people. It's okay to question or discuss the legitimacy of this stuff.

There's no sense fighting over it. We'll find out soon enough what the actual discs look like.

Don't believe it then, but I am highly knowledgeable and familiar with the scene, CHD is a legit group and has never put out a fake or mislabeled release. They are from the Blu, undoubtedly. Give it a day or so to make it over here and there will be shots from the fixed sections.

If that pic of Luke's aunt is from the real Blu-ray, it looks like digital sh*t. Sorry. It looks like something from a compressed HDTV broadcast. I really hope that's not it.

I have nothing against CHD but I don't believe ANY screenshots unless they come from a licensed and reputable viewer with images of discs in hand taken directly from the disc. just simple policy. too much fake crap on the web to take everything in stride without questioning

You can't judge from an unverified screencap posted online regardless. There's no information about what program captured the image. How compressed it was. Or any of that other information. This isn't AVS, let's leave the so-called "Screenshot Science" to them.

Well, if these blu-ray aren't out yet, how can they prove they are real or fake?

It would have been cool if this blu ray had a maximum movie mode.

Oh, that would have been awesome! I love those Maximum Movie Mode films.

Hell, it even greatly improves mediocre films like Cop Out and the latest Sherlock Holmes.

Every Blu gets leaked early. Some sooner than others.

Of course they are 720p, and likely compressed. They should only be used as a base to judge color/general quality. I can understand everyone's skepticism, it's reasonable.

OWEN: Look, it's only one more season.
Luke pushes his half-eaten plate of food aside and stands.
LUKE: Yeah, that's what you said last year when Biggs and Tank left.
AUNT BERU: Where are you going?
LUKE: Mind your own business! I wish you two were dead!

Double Homicide on Tatooine

Tatooine: Armpit of the galaxy.


TATOOINE (Galactic Press) -- Residents of the remote Outer Rim desert world Tatooine were stunned today by news of a double homicide in the quiet moisture-farming community south of Anchorhead.

Imperial police reported that Owen Lars, 57, and wife Beru, 55, were found dead this afternoon in the burned wreckage of their farming homestead on County Road 32. Foul play is suspected, although investigators did not elaborate. The family's land speeder and two 'droids were noted missing by farm hands following the incident.

Luke Skywalker, 18, nephew of the two victims, is being sought by the troopers for questioning. Previously the youth has been fined for hunting womp rats out of season, and an outstanding warrant is on file for numerous speeding violations in Anchorage.

"We're all just shocked here," said Deak Groundlubber, part-time mechanic at Fixer's Garage in Toshe Station, known to be frequented by Skywalker. "He was supposed to pick up some power converters today and never showed up. Then we heard on the news his house was torched. I mean, he's strange kid and all, definitely a little off, but none of us ever suspected anything like this."

Skywalker was last seen in the Mos Eisley vicinity in the company of notorious drug runner Han Solo.

HAH! Awesome Duffy12! I remember that.

I forget where that's from. Was that on that old StarWars.Com "News From The Holonet" website originally?

[nmycon]

Picked up Star Wars Insider today, hoped it would have something about the blu-ray release... just a full-page ad saying to pick up the September/October issue for blu-ray news

It's an awesome magazine! At least this issue was. I'll have to subscribe!
