Ummm, the Emperor never had a holographic Death Star in his Throne Room.

It's not 3-d, like the rebels had, it's on a flat screen.

You would think after seeing the film more than a couple dozen times I would recognize a frame of the movie, and that it is. I never noticed the Death Star appear back there, it lasts about 1 second.

I really hope so on the darkening the lenses....



I don't mind Hayden being the force ghost and understand Ziggy's thoughts exactly. This change will be a good one!

No"Bring my shuttle"..., however.

Everyone, "the source" asked for all of his posts to be removed from this thread and any other post that referred to him and I complied.

Ewok Pudu once asked to have something similiar done and I complied with his wishes as well.

They actually released a second dvd content TPM commentary 6 months after the first; however, I think they realized very few people continued to check that site for content, so they just blew their wad all at once with the AOTC stuff.

The online content is shit. It has never worked properly for me don't know about others.

Me neither. It just kind stayed at the online menu and did nothing.

If they don't fix some of those lightsabers effects, it will be beyond fucking ridiculous.

Shit, Vader's saber in A New Hope is pink. PINK!

Frame Jumping? That's not the way it really is, dude. The problem is they cut the framerate to 10fps for this "web-friendly" version. That's what makes it "jumpy".

Which can be caused by converting from 24fps to 29.97fps, then to 10fps and getting field orders fucked up in the process. I've seen it happen in my own work.

It's all about the fact that they really didn't care about the quality on this one.

Is this the real thing?

From footage and other pictures I have seen, this picture is real and the source to be legit.

The person who posted them is a fakir however, a Darth_Blight0925 who hoodwinked the pics out of the source and gave them to TBone and AICN.

The Emperor picture was originally posted at the JC by a "Relentless" which is a Darth_Blight0925 sock.

User Notes for Darth_Blight0925



Since Darth_Blight0925 aka Relentless also posted TBo's "emailed Vader Episode III news" we now have to question the credibility of that report.

Someone remind me not to get on DP's bad side.




Sorry he screwed his source, but I like the new ESB Palpatine look. I really think these little changes wil help mesh the PT with the OT.

Hopefully, once Episode 3 is released we'll just find ourselves calling these films the Saga rather than separating the trilogies.

For the record, Gabe is only hosting the image, not promoting Blight0925/Relentless. We only found out today that a) Relentless = Blight0925 and b) he is a leaker.

After looking at the image, I started thinking... how clear will the films look now.

I think it's funny that the official labels



are along the same lines as the ones I made a couple of years ago for my four disc Definitive Collection DVD set (one for each film + a disc of supplemental features):

mcdermd, that artwork is my personal favorite poster art for each film.

gold, silver who gives a fuck.


Just give me the DVD's, you guys can argue semantics.

Guy LeDouche says... "Me like."

For all you MXC fans out there.

My question is... when do these go to the replicating plant.

Can't wait to get my hands on them.

That pic with the DVD covers, is it a scan or a screenshot from a new trailer or what?

Besides, I like the covers very much

I dont get the artwork bitching?

Dont like it? Print out your own.

To quote a well known lyricist and master of the art of music

*ahem*

Right Thurr.

*bows*

Quit bitching...

it's one of the most anal aspects of SW fandom.

TFN has got the real cover pics online. I think they look really great, they just match to the PT DVDs
Look here

What do you guys think?

http://theforce.net/holonet/newspics/trilogydvd_saleskit02.jpg

Wow, Luke's no where to be found on the ESB cover???

[]Those are the same covers. The bonus disk just looks different. Notice Mark Hamill's face on the ANH cover is post motorcycle accident.[/quote]

No. The Emperor is off of The Empire Strikes Back cover now. Lando and Yoda have been put in his place. Also, there are totally different Vader and Emperor pictures used on the Return of the Jedi case.

Gold Case = Full screen
Platinum Case (not silver) = Widescreen
Platinum > Gold

Correct me, if I'm wrong but why there's not an image of Anakin/Vader in "A New Hope" after all this is Anakin Skywalker Saga isn't it?

What's with those prices? Not USD, I presume? $100USD is kind of steep, don't you think?

It seems that these are correct: http://theforce.net/holonet/newspics/tr ... skit02.jpg

my sentiments exacly regarding ur avatar!

They may be both correct in terms of fake, but I don't think Europe will get other covers than America does.

but I see that I have to change the color of the roman III.

I little fixed Ktulu's "III" and added title used in Lucas' short description of Ep3 - Enter A Dark Lord from hmm.. 70's or 80's.

http://koti.mbnet.fi/dukeirot/saga-fake.jpg

Ktulu's background for DVD is pretty brilliant. Hopefully LFL will use something similiar in real version.

Those covers are lens-flare-iffic!

It doesn't really bother me. Besides, it's already been pointed out, but the fine prnt on that add says "artwork is subject to change."

This may not be the fina iteration of the design.

Either way, I care way more about what's on the discs than the packaging.

Where's ?!?!?

There are huge flares around those sabers in the bottom picture. JPEG compression?

from the OS

"For those who like their DVD shelves tidy and uniform, the boxed set can be displayed in different ways. The inner box that slides out of the slip case can be placed so that box art faces outwards, or that the individual DVD spines face outward, to properly show the numerical indices of each Episode. Also, care has been taken that all the spines assembled work as a whole, so that your complete library of Episodes I-VI (including Episode III) will have a cohesive design, with prequel and original trilogy delineated by color"

as for the above saber pics, maybe mr.bezo is yanking our cranks

Well, lets hope even if those pics were fake that the sabers were one thing ILM did spruce up. I'd be dissapointed if it wasn't.

No offense, but that supposed 'fixed' pic of the fight in ANH is a bad example of any alleged fixes. The original version isn't that bad, except for Vader's weak lightsaber effect that still looks weak in this new pic.

I wanna see this fucking shot fixed in a hi-res widescreen format screencap. Goddamit.

Danish is pretty close to Swedish but like I said, I suck in Swedish, but I think they are talking about that they have been able to see TESB.

Ian should be as Emperor and there has been some changes in some Star Destroyer scene (huh? what explosion? Edit: I reread it and they are talking about Ion Canon hitting Star Destroyer, so that shock effect has been redone) And there has been lot of smaller changes.

And they are also talking about Hayden being in ROTJ's The Force Ghosts scene.

And there should be 9 minutes and 7 seconds long Ep3 Preview in Bonus Materials.

from what i can make of it its a rehash of previous news and rumours apart from the SD explosion, ulrika just bought a house by me and she is swedish so if ii see her again ill ask her to translate fully!
update- im on the case! (not that i will get any news sooner than anyone else though )

A poster going by the name RESB-AM posted the following stuff at TFN in their DVD thread:








Pretty much the same stuff the Danish site is now reporting. Don't know what to make of it all.

here is a translation of the danish site, though i would say it is from the same as the source above just translated backwards and forwards if u know what i mean!


There has been tampered with the classic trilogy!
Wednesday 2. June 2004

Starwars.nu has been fortunate enough to get an exclusive peek on the upcoming DVD release of The Empire Strikes Back. We did not see the whole film but skipped through the DVD and watched selected scenes. We can confirm that several things have been changed in relation to the VHS Special Edition from 1997. The greatest change is the scene in which Darth Vader talks to the hologrram of the Emperor. Now it is definately Ian McDiarmid acting as the Emperor's Hologram.

Another scene which is changed is the scene in which the rebels first fire the Ion cannon and hits a Star Destroyer. Here the ”explosionen” on the Star Destroyeren is EXTREMELY green, where it before was reddish-yellow. In all it seems like a lot of small things in the film has been changed/"improved". This might be because of the restoration or the computer monitor we watched it on.

We can also mention that the film has been restored so beautifully that you almost cry. The picture is razor sharp and looks like the film was made today. It is really amazing. Look forward to it.

Finally the Danish versions of the DVDs has been texted in the USA, So now R2's name is "R2" and not "Erto", as is the case on TV2 who uses the old captions.

Although the changes on ESB only are for the better, unles you are a dedicated purist, you can still fear/hope for the other two films. In A New Hope it will be exciting to see if clouds pass one of the suns on Tatooine, if they have improved the horrible CGI Jabba and if Greedo still shoots first.

With Return of the Jedi the big question is whether or not the spirit scene with Sebastian Shaw as Anakin has been replaced with Hayden Christensen.

UPDATED
Now Return of the Jedi has also come to Denmark and we can relax because Sebastian Shaw has not been replaced by Hayden Christensen in the Jedi Spirit scene. Like ESB also RotJ has been shined up to the point you lamost cry!
Now we just need to see what good old George has done with A New Hope!

Along with RotJ has the 4th disc with the bonus material arrived in DK. There is, amongst other things, a 9 minutes 7 seconds long preview for Episode III in which you can see Anakin in his Vader costume and also hos the crew from ILM molds a new Vader helmet. Great stuff!


Should we get lucky and get a peek at ANH you will be the first to know.

Tnx for the translation!!

Just a though. It'll would surprise 99% of the fans, who now "know" that Hayden, is not at the end of ROTJ.

Then again old cats like... Carl/Mory/etc have said that he's there.

Who do we believe now?!?!

I'm dying though, to know what the hell is the "big" change in ANH.

I would say these Danish guys are bullshitting. Or then I gotta call to importer.

Okay, I just sent email to Finnish importer, so lets see what they'll answer.
