Details of 'Star Wars' DVD Release Disclosed


The Sept. 21 DVD release of the original Star Wars trilogy will be accompanied by a fourth disc that includes a two-and-a-half-hour documentary, Empire of Dreams, by Kevin Burns, featuring interviews with 40 people involved in the original productions, including director George Lucas and all of the cast members, Video Store magazine reported on its website Wednesday. It also includes footage of some of the actors who auditioned for the leads, including Kurt Russell, William Katt and Cindy Williams. Some of the actors who appeared in the prequels have reportedly been inserted into some of the scenes in the original films, and Lucas has also introduced "subtle changes" into additional scenes. Each film was cleaned digitally by restoration expert John Lowry, who told the magazine: "These were the dirtiest, grimiest films I've ever had the pleasure of working on." He remarked that his team sometimes had to remove hundreds of dust particles from each frame of the negative. The set features a number of extras, including a game that can be played on Microsoft's Xbox.

Episode IV: A New Hope


Lots of matte lines removed. The space under Luke's speeder looks much more realistic.

R2D2's blue parts are much cleaner and more consistent.

The 1997 animation added to the entrance to Mos Eisley is much smoother.

Greedo and Han shoot at the same time, and Han's dodge is far more realistic.

Jabba has been retexturized and looks considerably better. Han still walks on his tail, but it's much smoother.

The lettering on various Death Star panels are written in Aurebesh rather than English.

The matte-painted hall in Leia's detention block looks much more realistic.

Lightsabers look much better. Colors are far brighter and the blades are more defined.




Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back


The battle of Hoth is enhanced with a ground battle between the Rebel soldiers and stormtroopers

Ian McDiarmid has refilmed scenes as the Emperor instead of that near-fossil they had.

The conversations between Vader and Palpatine has a few new lines. Palpatine knows that Luke is Vader's son.

Light sabers are again fixed, making them more consistent.

Temuera Morrison does the voice of Boba Fett

Luke's inane scream when he jumps to escape Vader on Cloud City is gone. And there was much rejoicing.




Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Like the other two, the light sabers are fixed.

The Rancor looks considerably better, with its matte lines removed.

When Vader's helmet is removed, his eyebrows are gone and his eyes are recolored to match Hayden's.

Celebrations on Naboo, Coruscant and one other planet, where a statue is toppled right before we see the celebration with the ewoks.

Perhaps this was in the 1997 special editions, but in the various background shots of the new Death Star, its appearance changes and you can see progress as the station takes shape.

Hayden Christensen replaces Sebastian Shaw as Anakin's ghost. Lucas explains this in the commentary, which is spoilerish for Episode III.

[Wozza]

Pre-ordered it!

Not too impressed with the changes, but it's Star Wars in widescreen on DVD!!!

[Daniel-NE]

Temuera Morrison does the voice of Boba Fett

I liked it how it was, Morrison never should have played Jango let alone voiced the original Fett.

[Luke-NE]

I saw it in The Warehouse.

[Daniel-NE]

You must feel special.

[Luke-NE]

I do Daniel, trust me I do.

[foxy]

I wait for mine as well. :)

[SHNAG]

I have the trilogy on VHS, a really old "Special Edition", 1997 or something.

But i'm missing the Empire Strikes back, i think someone stole it. :banghead:

I might get this, maybe when the price goes down.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Its only 42 at Best Buy. I got mine after work yesterday.

All the improvements in the movies look good, except the Hayden Christensen replaces Sebastian Shaw as Anakin's ghost. That was pretty cheap.

[SilentDeath]

i think i'll download these and put them on DVDs
