why didn't anyone tell me about the despecialized editions?

Yes.

It's only hardcore frame by frame autists that notice the problems with the Despecialized editions.

They are perfect for average Joes.
>>
>>63498308
This is bait.

The CGI of 2005 already looked like shit (see episode 3). Layered on top of 1974 practical effects and models, it stands out. The remastered films are awful.

Plus, Han shot first.

really dumb fucking question, but if this thing is pieced together from a bunch of shitty sources, how do they know they're getting the subtler things right (color tint, grain, etc.)? are they trying to make it as close to the original as they can or just whatever looks good?

They have a direct film negative source, and an unedited vhs source as references, while they use the actual assets from the Blu Ray, the 2004 DVD and I think a laserdisk.

For the last time you brainless mongs, Lucas was /forced/ to add the shot first business in by the suits to keep the PG rating.

He said he added it because it didn't fit the character from his point of view. He didn't want Han to be a murderer. He's a lying sack of shit if he claimed he did it for a rating.

>"Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, 'Should he be a cold-blooded killer?' " Lucas asked his Washington Post interviewer. "Because I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, 'Yeah, he should be John Wayne.' And when you're John Wayne, you don't shoot people (first) — you let them have the first shot. It's a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to."

>>63502865
Its real. It is the moment when a lot of people realized george lucas was retarded.

Its not even the added shot that's the worst part, its that han dodges by moving his head as if he were an amoeba, lacking any bone or solid structure in his neck.

>>63498259
Absolutely. The special edition versions aren't deal breakers but stay the fuck away from the blu ray versions. They're not just adding pointless filler to the frame, they're completely changing little things to change the feel of the movie and contradict what is actually going on.
>>
Who cares, I have the original unaltered trilogy on my harddrive, very good quality. Very watchable on the big screen. Very enjoyable.
>>
The thing about Vader saying no at the end of RotJ is that he says it twice. First, it's a very subtle "no..." like he's kind of having a sort of toned down "aha!" moment. The second one is where it gets stupid. I wish some one who edit out the long screaming no and just leave that first quiet, subtle no.

Nothing is needed, his silence is fine.

Lucky Lucas left Star Wars when he did or the next blue ray versions will have a CGI face on Vaders mask so we can see Vader emoting

Silence is better. You can tell what he's thinking just by him looking back and forth between Luke and The Emperor.

>>63503021
Lucas didn't put that in to lighten the mood. The original jabba was just some fat guy, without a tail, and to use the original scene with the ROTJ jabba design, han would've had to have walked on jabba's tail at one point.

This is the mind of george lucas.

>>63504521
Literally what are you even talking about. Do you understand how the scene works?

Lets say a tv show is capped or or a bluray is leaked to mteam because some chink stole it from the factory.

The source is run through generic x264 settings for a targeted bitrate and the first release to fit the topsite wins the round and they get all the e-peen. That's why there is only ever one scene release per source unless it needs a PROPER or REPACK.

Do you think those same scene groups are going to spend two years cleaning and transferring a shit 35mm they found like Harmys have?

Why do you even care, they wouldn't release it if it wasn't an improvement and the video shows that it is anyway.

>>63504592
They're currently on Mysleen, Awesome-HD and probably a few DDL sites.

So you have no real answer to why scene groups don't release decent quality rips when they steal film cannisters beyond "LOL TEHY'RE CHINKS!! XD"

this whole thing is a fucking weird idea. you want the "real", "original" star wars, before it was "ruined by" the digital alterations and your solution to this is to... digitally alter that "ruined version" even more, layering edits upon edits, creating a bizarre frankensteinian composite of footage from blurays, dvds, laserdiscs and film reels, where a single frame is glued together from multiple sources and then aggressively digitally filtered. the result moves even further away from those fabled "real" star wars despite resembling them superficially. the whole thing would make sense to me if it was some fancy experiment in digital art, but as a honest attempt at "going back" to old star wars it's pretty mental. if you get a sex change operation you can't get a second one to "go back" to your real penis. it's a ruin of a ruin.

No, scene groups don't do quality releases because they are about speed. Scene is a race.

how do you determine "right"? did you see the movie in '77? do you have photographic memory? because i'm pretty certain your feeling of "rightness" depends on a placebo effect of being told ahead of time that you're about to watch is the "real" star wars when you are in fact being shown an edit of a composition of edits of edits (of edits).

>>63505049

The 2006 DVDs came with two versions of the film, the Special Edition which were the ones with all the edits Lucas had done to them in DVD quality, and as a special feature you had the original unedited versions. These were laserdisc transfers, so they were like 240p or something

If Despecialzed Edition truly is like the original, then it should look detailed and maybe a bit ugly. It looks a bit enhanced, which in the computer world means data loss. Now, I haven't gone over it personally, but you can't really trust one person. Maybe it does look like the negative, but maybe they just missed something critical. Maybe they did something wrong. You need a color controlled environment, expensive monitors and the type of person that could give it a THX seal of approval to supervise. AKA You'd need the old experts from Lucasfilm and specifically tell them not to enhance anything to create a true copy.

yes. it's mostly a discredited concept now. museums won't let you fuck with art to make it fit some idea of what it might have looked like before. they just want to stop further deterioration.

and this is decidedly weirder than regular art restoration. you don't have the mona lisa, you've never seen the mona lisa, but you have a kid's drawing of the mona lisa, a blurry photo of the bottom half of the mona lisa and a parody of the mona lisa with the face of kim kardashian. you scan all that shit and glue pieces together in photoshop and cover it in filters until it starts to resemble what you imagine mona lisa "should" look like based on what your dad told you about seeing mona lisa back in '77 when he got shitfaced and wandered through the louvre.

Museum art restoration is a risky business also we have no idea what the originals looked like whatever plus the deteoriation is of historical value itself

Star Wars is literally one of THE most important films of all time, especially technically, and neither the general audience nor critics nor film scholars have the opportunity to access the original versions. And it was only released several decades ago. It's ridiculous.

What's more, the additions are almost unanimously regarded as bad.
>>
>>63505257
I just got finished watching the v2.5 despecialized a few hours ago. It looks grittier, and more like what films commonly looked like in the seventies. You were able to see tiny specks of dirt all over the walls due to age. That was one of the things I liked most about the film. It's very detailed, and it comes across that beautifully in the despecialized edition.
>>
>>63504972
So there'd be no reason for a scene group to, say, get a film reel, and release a decent qualty HD rip weeks/months before groups sitting around with their thumbs up their asses waiting for a bluray to drop in their lap?

Wait, the original film no longer exists at all? Jesus Christ, its like wiping out your own cultural heritage.
>>
>>63505347
You have the mona lisa in its current ruined state in which someone has added a moustache (the remastered garbage), and you have fairly good photos of what it used to look like (telesyncs, recordings of privately owned copies, the old DVD/VHS versions).

Why would you not just take the ruined version and work backwards, removing the moustache and adding paint? Most of the movie is still good on the blu-ray, it's just all the dumb shit they added that has to be replaced and re-composited because the original footage is lost.

There are certainly copies, they're all privately owned by people who wish to remain anonymous, and probably don't want Jorge breathing down their neck as he spends every single penny he has left tracking down the person who released the original movie, which is what would happen.

Film in a canister can last for a long time without treatment. Meanwhile, the new digital age will result in a hell of a lot of films being lost. Hard drives fail constantly, and if your backup system isn't incredibly robust, eventually the stars will align, 2 hard drives will fail on the same day that the backup was misplaced, and you wind up with a movie that's completely erased because all of the discs have long rotted, and nobody is seeding the YIFY torrents.

you mean none of them have a dvd player? because there is a perfectly serviceable dvd release of pre-special edition star wars. that dvd is in fact one of the sources of this weird edit. the edit is not about letting people access old star wars (they have been able to for a decade), it's a quixotic quest for "the real star wars" that is to be conjured via endless digital fuckery.
>>
If you're going to watch the despecialized editions, don't watch in HD. The spliced in scenes are just as obvious and jarring as the special effects they replace.

Get the DVD rips and watch em on your laptop.

there are literally no good editions of star wars because lucas is a fucking piece of shit

it pretty much is. The film archive association requires that the original be archived but lucas refused and gave them the SE shit instead

the blu ray copies are not "the real mona lisa that somebody painted a mustache on". the entire thing underwent extensive restoration work already and is effectively one of many interpretations of star wars that coexist today. all of these versions underwent some combination of degradation, restoration and editing. the "real", "original" star wars does not exist.

the despecialized editions are just another fan edit, and if you like it, that's fine. what i take issue with is the bonkers idea - commonplace whenever this fan edit is discussed - that this is the "real" or "original" or at least "closer to the original" version of star wars. they're taking a set of variously degraded and restored versions of a movie and producing a weird remix with a pile of intricate digital effects designed to partially mask other digital effects. this is not the "original" star wars, it's in fact, conceptually, the craziest and most out-there version of star wars available.

a pre-1997 version of the original trilogy was released on dvd in 2004, alongside the special edition. it was based on the 1993 laserdiscs. so yes, pre-1997 star wars has been available on dvd for over a decade.

>All you have to do is either record your screen or encode it into a different format

Or you could just remux it without all the audio tracks nigga are you retarded?

Why the fuck would you ever encode a video or screen record a video when you can just remove the audio tracks from the container?
>>
No one's going to post a link on where to get these?
>>
>>63506560
that sounds hard. i think i'm just going to record my screen with my cell phone. then i'm going to convert that video to divx and burn it on a cd because the dvd player in my living room doesn't support anything newer. i just have to remember to stretch that shit to 4:3 because that's what my tv is and i hate those black bars

The original prints were falling apart. That was the stated reason for the THX remaster in the mid 90s.

>People actually thinking it could possibly be worse than the prequels
Come on. We know how JJ makes films. It'll be a flashy popcorn movie with no substance. You can complain about that all you want, but the fact is it'll dwarf the prequels easily since those were actively bad.

the prequels were actively bad in an interesting, ballsy way, like "oh you like stormtroopers, you dork? you love boba fett, you mouth-breathing retard? well here's a million cgi boba fett stormtroopers, fucking choke on it!"

jj doesn't have it in him to do a good star wars movie and he doesn't have the balls to fuck with the fans. it will be a lukewarm nothing of a movie and that's way more boring than being actively insulted by george. you will remember the prequels forever and this thing you will forget in a week.
>>
>>63509992
I agree with the vader saber example but I would prefer no dated 90s CGI in my 1977 movie

>>63509621
that quality is still pretty shitty even for DVD. Regardless were talking about a real HD blu ray quality release, not some 720p bullshit

>>63503861
Lucas didn't "destroy" them, he just Incorporated the special edition changes to the master, and never made a proper copy before altering it.

With enough tech the SE can be removed, and the original films reedited again.
>>
>>63505269
Because their only source is a low scale DVD and this is not finalized

So does anybody got a link to the RotJ 2.0 WIP?

There was a website that explained everything in great detail. It's no longer being hosted, but I found it on web archive. Can't find it now.

It discussed how the original print was restored, and then altered for the special editions.

the fx in rotj aren't great. it's a lot of muppets and bad green screen and cinematography is sort of flat. it definitely looks like much more of a kids movie

Seriously I think some of the changes in the special additions are good. I would almost want to have the despecialized editions and edit in the changes that are good.

Is it too late for them to release a spaceballs special edition that completely changes most of the movie ala Kung Pow?

Am I the only one that thinks they did a fantastic job on the blu-ray? They were forced to keep the special edition sillyness but outside of that what can be complained about?
>>
>>63506611

Dont bother they are like 15 gigs each. Stick to the yify of the blu-ray release. A11/V11

>>63513930
That's where most of the despecialized footage comes from, although the entire blu ray has a hue of magenta all over it or something

I both agree with you, and think it's an irrelevant point.

>You taste Grandma's homemade apple pie and it's delicious
>Grandma dies
>Your tootie sister inherits the recipe but doesn't share it with anyone. Instead, she serves something like the original recipe with a shit ton of nutmeg and miracle whip.
>You meticulously try various forms of apple pie recipes, tweaking and altering them until you have an apple pie that's as close to Grandmas' as you've ever had, and you're satisfied it honors her memory.
>Your sister says it's not the original so it doesn't count.
