Star Wars On Blu-Ray

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I sold my SW OT discs for around $70 and the PT ones for about $25 a... more than paid for a used set of the BR. Also on a related note I sold my EE LOTR set for $50 then was able to pick up the EE BluRay for $50 off of Amazon

Nice I sold my EE versions this summer for 45 at a garage sale. Then I did the same as you and picked em up on Blu for 50. I figure a 5 dollar upgrade was well worth it!

I heard the LOTR Blu Ray is tinted Green is that true?

Just FOTR, but if you aren't comparing it side-by-side to the original then you won't notice.

So I was playing around with some of the new features on the Official Star Wars site when I came across the character page for Tauntauns. The images used are interesting and appear to be a CGI Tauntaun, one I've never seen. It's too detailed for the Clone Wars, and at one point I thought it actually may be a physical model...but I can't decide. Anywho, is this a new update to a future version of Star Wars we didn't see on the blu-ray, or is this tauntaun model from something I'm unaware of?

Interesting. Could be just 3D images created to depict a generic taun, or what if its for the 3D version of ESB??

But why would Lucasfilm create a 3D version for only this purpose? Doesn't seem productive. I wonder if they will be added to the background of Hoth, similarly to the banthas on Tatooine in ROTJ. Or maybe add CGI rebels on tauntauns to the Battle of Hoth?

 

[Brinn 71]

You know something? Didn't they re-create Hoth for the new Star Tours ride? Maybe this Taun was used in those sequences?

 

[Kamandi]

It's perfectly symmetrical, so I'm sure it's a 3d model. Where it was used

Just sold all six of my SW movies on DVD including the non-anamorphic 2006 release of the original theatrical OT on ebay for 140 bucks!!!

Thanks to Lucas and Harmy!

Wait, WHAT??? The OT in the tin?

Nope........

 

[FLOSI]

Nope........

Wait, WHAT??? The OT not in the tin?

 

[pixletwin]

Wait... I thought you were talking about the Harmys.

 

[Darth Mitchell]

His tail... It looks weird from this angle...

If they replace the Tauntauns with CGI, I'll flip out. Flip out I tells ya.

Lucas can do whatever he wants, I'm done. I have my Harmy versions and I will be glad enough to watch them. I hope Harmy does a Bluray version though.

It's pretty sad that Lucas has totally alienated me (and others) from seeing or buying his "special" editions. My life is totally consumed with SW, but he's making it much easier to find other interests.

QFT.

I'm forever immune to whatever idiotic thing George does to the OT ever again. Make tauntauns CG. Make Luke CG. I don't care because I'll never buy another official release of the OT. Long live Harmy.

 

[FLOSI]

Harmy is my personal Jesus.

 

[darthmadonna]

Speaking of Harmy. I was able to get my hands on his versions and hats off to him! I did notice in ESB on Cloud City when the gang is escaping on the falcon and picking up Luke from the weather vane, the shot with Vader saying bring me my shuttle was there. Now this was not in the original release right? I am 90 percent sure. So are the Harmy versions supposed to be exact to the theatrical versions?

All of the original dialogue was restored in the Harmy versions. "Bring my shuttle" was what Vader said in 1980 and thank God its back.
