Wow, I didn't expect some real SW news. Interesting.

It does confirm the movies finally on Blu-ray though.

It should have been included in the initial release but I wish it was extended slightly.

 

Very short.

You guys are familiar with the Double Rainbow meme? I hope so, I've made a remix of the deleted scene here:

Regarding original topic about blu-ray release: http://uk.artsgrantsfinder.com/tag/anakin-skywalker/

 

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a beloved film trilogy. Not any more, if Star Wars’ impending Blu-ray release has anything to do with it

 

A 1988 congressional hearing heard that colourising old black-and-white films would constitute “destruction of our film heritage”. The speaker’s statement continued: “In the future it will become easier for old negatives to become lost and be ‘replaced’ by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten.”

 

It’s hard to believe now, but that speaker was George Lucas. He’d re-release his most beloved trilogy of work, complete with a catalogue of updates and changes, just nine years later. And in the 13 that have followed, he’s gone out of his way to wipe away all evidence that any other versions ever existed.

 

Slightly off-topic but more relevant to my interests than Star Wars (2004 meh edition) on Blu-Ray are independent fan preservations from original film transfers and audio sources to reconstruct digital copies of the film grained and weathered, but classics we remember... well the old timers anyways. Also, recently, using these sourced preservations as the base, several new fan edits have hit the Internet are equally entertaining.

 

A fanedit of Star Wars: A New Hope called The War of the Stars which cuts out some portions of the original film, a natural grindhouse wear from a 16mm preservation of the original theatrical cut, additions to some new rotoscoped gore effects during storm trooper deaths and some evil vader eyes, cheeseball music during key scenes adds to the atmosphere, and deleted scenes, alternative takes, and backstage footage is also spiced into this cut, all topped off by the plot twist at the end of movie tying up the loose ends without need for sequels. This is the new definitive A New Hope cut. My one complaint with this fanedit is the integration of the Troops (Cops spoof) footage, while funny, it feels too modern in comparison to something otherwise right of the 1970s grindhouse double-feature.
