The quote from George Lucas about how the older versions of SW will be lost to time and the blueray will emerge as the canonical version reminds me of historical criticism of the New testament gospels.. we only have the four, other versions having been excised or otherwise just lost and the current gospels being borrowed from older lost texts
- azalemeth 5y agoLooking at the link they posted of the comparison (https://youtu.be/P1b47UP6ZGI https://youtu.be/P1b47UP6ZGI) I cannot believe how much worse the blueray looks. The whole frame turns bright magenta during every laser rifle burst in the opening sequence! I also think it's very telling that a bunch of fans made something better than the professional effort, with a small fraction of the budget, and are distributing it almost as a public good to ensue that it remains accessible in pereptuity.
