So there's been one true request from star wars fans for years. A remaster of the ORIGINAL trilogy. Not the versions that adds edits, but the originals on blu ray quality.
WELL as it turns out, the fans have done it (Still in progress I think, but as it is, it looks REALLY good)
The process was fairly complex. It's primary source is the blu ray versions, and for the original cuts they took footage from the originals, cleaned it up, re-did the colors (The DVD originals had terrible color) and then other edits to make it look good.
Personally, I like allot of the changes in the edited versions (Cloud city looks bigger, that rock infront of R2 so it's actually more of a hiding spot, and I do prefer Han shooting second XP)
BUT I understand why people like the originals MUCH more, and there are allot of edits that I don't like... Like that stupid scream to scare off the Tuscan raiders, Han's head awkwardly being moved to the side (I like that Han shot second, I just don't like HOW it was done) and just stupid stuff like that. If it were up to me, i'd make 3 versions. Original, Lucas's edits, and a mixture of the two of what i think is the best experience. But, as some of you may be grateful for, it's not up to me XD
So what do you all think? Is this the BEST THING EVAR!!!!!!!!! Are the fans just stupid and this should be highly illegal? Is Disney stupid for being like "We COULD, but the originals are in bad shape, and it will take allot of time and money." Only for random fans to be able to do it faithfully. Which is also why people have high hopes for episode 7. It's made by a fan, for fans. While before it was simply George making his image of star wars which allot of us disagrees with.
