speakmumbles said:Clearer,sharper and alot of the dvd changes make the backgrounds look more realistic. Mos eisley looked like a cardboard and sand fort in 77, in 97/04/11 releases it seems real. Overall the story doesnt change ,just blink when greedo shoots and han is still awesome.




See I think the cardboard looking sets are part of the appeal.


Why try and make some Sesame Street shit look like it was made in 2015?


U can gloss up up only so much before it loses that man-made feel.





Off The Wall > Thriller

^this (minus the commercial breaks bit)





it was a sad day in my childhood when the vcr decided to chew up our star wars video.

it was a sad day in my childhood when my dad decided to tape over the only camcorder footage of me and my sisters as kids with a niners playoff game.

My friend Matt Quinn (NY based artist) created this one of a rather large friend of ours:

The piece was called "Captain Lou" and if you put on the headphones you'd hear, of course, Cyndi Lauper.

The Red Letter Media reviews were way better than the movies they were reviewing. I even loved the Star Trek reviews they did.

Anakins legs got burned off after his fight with obi-wan in rots, so vader has robotic legs.

 

[speakmumbles]

actually obi wan cuts them off, and an arm...and dooku took the other arm. then luke cuts off that first robotic hand..ahh the circle of life.

This one.

every great film series will always be put on new medium as technology changes.





that album you had on vinyl, was probably on 8track,cassette,cd,and now mp3..





why should george lucas stop making money on his product because you already have it? if he wants to modernize his films to match the texture of the prequels thats up to him...nothing that he has changed has made the story of the films really any different. and i'd say that a guy who grossed 6.7 billion with ticket prices on six films not counting any merchandising can do whatever he wants.





ill be making a new shirt design with mr lucas on it and in quotes above it will read "fuck your childhood, get money."

Minor tweaks in re-mastering is expected but adding Autotune to Vincent Price on Thriller is bullshit.





Or Mardi Gras without the Bells on Peter Piper.
