Very excited to eventually update the VisComps with these new restorations! People will be even more interested to know the differences between them, and the changes made over the years.
I also have to make sure the team didn’t miss undoing any of the changes! 😅

The amount of people complaining that there won’t be low resolution dinosaurs taking up the entire frame for the first time in 30 years is wild.

I can’t believe that they’re selling a Force Ghost set with a swappable head for Anakin. I mean, I can…
Surprise! It looks like the TBS Mace Windu & Darth Sidious bit.ly/4hF8vwI and TVC Jedi Spirits 3pk bit.ly/49yzI2d are now available for all collectors. #hasbro #hasbropulse #blackseries #starwarsblackseries #vintagecollection #starwars

Just in case anyone is confused by the leaks, Lucas having a clause in the Disney sale contract saying they could never #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy is fan theory nonsense. People saying Kennedy said they wouldn’t “touch it” are misinterpreting something she said when not hearing a question.

Holy Crap, It Looks Like Disney Is Finally Restoring And Releasing The Original Version Of Star Wars
Leaks Show Theatrical Version Of Star Wars Being Restored In 4K
Leaked screenshots show off a highly detailed restoration that puts the crappy 2006 versions of the theatrical cuts to shame

Happy anniversary to this mess.
Starting with the DVD released on this day in 2004, #BobaFett fans were torn over another major change: the original voice by Jason Wingreen was dubbed over by Temuera Morrison

TAR IS REAL?! Howie Weed talked about “TAR” on @talkingbay94.bsky.social years ago, that they were working on a new perfected master before Lucas decided to make changes. It makes no sense and doesn’t fit into the timeline in any way, but someone sold a ”crew gift” of it?!

Fifteen years ago, I took it upon myself to recreate/upgrade the lost “What Has Changed” for the Special Edition section of the Star Wars website from 2006. It wasn’t long before I reported back that I had found “a few more” changes that weren’t in the original slideshow.

For an entire generation, people have experienced STAR WARS the only way it’s been possible:
as the Special Edition.
But if you’ve only seen it this way, you haven’t seen it all.
