MF.com's HB reveals the OUT (Original Unaltered Trilogy) Disc codename:

• "Charlotte" codename for ROTS.
• "Laura" codename for TPM.
• "Mary" = AOTC.

Friday May 19 2006

MF.com's HB confirms and adds new info to recent reports regarding OUT (Original Unaltered Trilogy) DVD reports:

• "Hunt is 100% correct - these are the 93 LD masters and non-anamorphic."

• "The menus on these "bonus discs" are state of the art for DVD circa 1998 - no motion. Completely static."

• "They are using the LD masters - there's no believing - it's a fact."

• "LFL is going so bargain-basement with this, that they are not working with their usual partners. They have gone with cheaper vendors on many levels for this release."

Monday May 08 2006

MF.com's DarthFirst weighs in with some OUT (Original Unaltered Trilogy) DVD info:

• "There is restoration happening to bring the original theatrical versions up to a level of quality that is expected from Lucasfilm releases."

• "We'll have to be a bit more patient this time. Fact is, unlike the 2004 set, these films don't have to be classified again by any territory's classification body"

• "DLTs will be ready around July at the latest for a September release date, which means you can expect concrete news likely sometime in August."

EPISODE III CUT SCENES: Dagobah

February 15 2005

Unkindest Cut of All.

Part of REVENGE OF THE SITH's original final montage was that of Yoda arriving on Dagobah.

The Jedi Master was to have been seen going into exile after the fall of the Jedi, but Lucas has decided that the film with it's brief finales on Naboo, aboard a Star Destroyer, and on Tatooine, has too many endings.

Dagobah has now been cut.

EPISODE III CUT CONCEPTS: Young Solo

March 3 2005

A Helpful Han.

Han Solo was requested by George Lucas for shooting in REVENGE OF THE SITH. McCaig's costume design was approved by Lucas on the spot. Unlike the Han Solo we know in the Original Trilogy, the Episode III Solo was conceived as a 'slob' by McCaig.

So what was Han Solo's role?

In a conference room on Kashyyyk, Han Solo helped Yoda track down Grievous. We were told in the script that Han was being raised by Chewbacca.

EPISODE III CUT CONCEPTS • Allusions • Empire Strikes Back

March 19 2005

Put Down Your Weapons, I Mean You No Harm.

At the entrance to the Jedi Temple, a hunchback brings forth a baby to the disguised Clone Troopers. In the hunchback's arms is a small baby. The hunchbank presents the baby to the Clone Trooper, claiming it is a Jedi.

"Anyone could grab some deformed kid and claim it's anything they want. How do you know it's a Jedi?" asks the Sergeant.

The baby replies: "My lightsaber, the first clue would be, hmm?"

Suddenly, a green saber ignites, slashing across the sergeant's face. The hunchback rights himself and a blue blade appears.

In a clipped Coruscant accent, Obi-Wan states: "Please don't try to resist. No one has to get hurt."

The men of Decoy Squad 5 attack. None of them survive.

EPISODE III CUT CONCEPTS • Allusions • Empire Strikes Back

March 21 2005

My Home This Is.

In a scene designed for Kashyyyk, Yoda covers himself in mud and acts like a madman in an effort to throw off deadly Clone Troopers.

According to the book, the Kashyyyk scene was put in the movie to show us how serious and wise Master Yoda is capable of performing simple tricks, like he did later with Luke in Empire Strikes Back.

EPISODE III CUT CONCEPTS • Allusions • Return of the Jedi

March 22 2005

DEATHSTAR SHIPYARDS: A Deadly Construction.

Some concepts of how the Death Star appears in Episode III.

Imagine a skeletal body with the two poles complete. The main cannon-reactor shaft reaches to the core like the Death Star II main chamber Lando Calrissian destroys in Return of the Jedi.

The Death Star is surrounded by about fifteen craft that resemble Trade Federation CoreShips - small freighters that are barely visible and Star Destroyers.

The skeletal Death Star hovers above a cloudy planetscape.
