The 2019 Star Wars Special Editions (New 4K Transfer for Disney+ Contains MORE NEW CHANGES to Original Trilogy)
- Thread starter Anth0ny
- Start date
I dunno about these being actual 4K, betting it's just upscaled.. There's almost no way they did the digital effects for the special editions in 4K back in 1997, and I'm positive that both Ep 1 and 2 were partially or (in the case of Ep 2) completely filmed digitally and 1080, so it's impossible that they're true 4K. I guess it's possible that they redid stuff, but it seems unlikely.
Episode I was shot on film. II and III were shot digitally, but I think only II is capped at 1080p, in which case yeah that movie will never truly be 4K.
I haven't seen the D+ transfers myself yet and I'm a terrible judge of this sort of thing anyway, but Lucas apparently did oversee a 4K scan of ANH a few years ago. Gareth Edwards said he watched it himself when he was doing Rogue One.
This is an absolute non-issue. I would have never even noticed there was anything different. People on the internet get so hot and bothered about these changes, and none of them are offensively bad, or barely even noticeable.
The only change that has ever bothered me was changing Obi-Wans scream in A New Hope to scare off the Raiders, but I was over that after the second viewing.

The CG additions to the original trilogy are offensively bad. The musical sequence in Jedi is offensively bad. Yub-yub being removed is offensively bad.
Nah, these changes are dumb and unneeded. I'm not a big Star Wars fan but as someone who appreciates film, Id vastly prefer to see the film in its original form.
Oh, and CG Jabba is a crime against humanity.
Yub Nub is bad. I would rather have Jedi Rocks in ROTJ if it means losing Yub Nub rather than the other way around.
I did a quick scan of Empire this morning and wasn't too impressed with what I saw. It looked very similar to the dated Blu-ray transfer IMO. Certainly not as nice as many of the more recent 4K restorations we've seen with films like The Shining and Apocalypse Now.
Yub nub leads into the main theme and credits perfectly, yub nub haters are climate change denier imo
They? You mean Lucas, the person insane people want back in charge?
That they?
Oh, for fucks sake. The 4K master is barely worth it if we're still getting alterations to the original material. My VHS copies of the theatrical cuts are getting buried with me, dammit.
I wonder if Lucas doesn't want to change too much about ESB in general because he knows that Kirshner's ghost would haunt him forever.
I dont know why I never thought this would happen but it seems to be totally apparent when thinking about it in hindsight.
Totally disagree with that last part. First time I watched Star Wars, the Yub-nub song made me think of Sesame Street - it's almost the same tune! Took me totally out of the movie, and at the ending celebration which is supposed to be the culmination of the series no less. I really like the replacement ending song and sequence they made for the special edition.
A lot of 4K content that I didn't expect.
But why do they add so much and then you click and it's like "coming in 2022"?

When Lucas gets haunted by Kirshner, would the ghost still look like Hayden though?
There's never going to be an official release of the original cut might as well accept it now.
This has to be the 4K master that Lucas oversaw a few years ago, nobody else in their right mind would throw another cheeseball change in there for no fucking reason.
That's really not a funny joke. Don't compare a song from a movie to an actual serious problem we're facing.
For the record, I prefer the current song, and I very much believe in climate change.
Pan flutes > Ewok grunts
A lot of stuff is still tied up in licensing deals with other companies.
Imagine getting legitimately angry about the SE changes in TYOOL 2019 when Harmy and 4K77 exist
I agree that getting legitimately angry about it is dumb, but those other versions aren't as easy to acquire as they should be.
How they ever passed that one, I have no idea. In my opinion the most egregious one.
I would argue that they're easily enough acquired by people savvy enough to be arguing about the changes on a forum like this one 😉
I've had trouble finding the 4K77, but I also don't spend that much time arguing about the changes on forums. 😆
The Han shot first "controversy" is so one-sided with the general public, I can't see how Disney could possibly think to make it worst?
Guarantee there's a Rodian named Maclunky in cannon in the next 5 years. Probably in the next animated series.
