Star Wars on Blu-ray: What's Up With Yoda? By Phillip Swann TVPredictions.com
http://www.tvpredictions.com/star082911.htm Washington, D.C. (August 29, 2011) -- Star Wars fans are breathlessly awaiting the Blu-ray release of George Lucas' Star Wars: The Complete Saga on September 16. But it appears that the high-def edition of the classic sci-fi films might look a little different than they remember. For starters, The Digital Bits reports, Lucas will enhance the color in some scenes and remove such classic gaffes as the mistaken display of a puppeteer's arm on a Wampa in The Empire Strikes Back. But the biggest change, the web site writes, will be Lucas' decision to replace the puppet Yoda in The Phantom Menace to a CGI-special effect Yoda. The digital Yoda will look more like himself in later films such as Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Knowing Lucas' reputation as a perfectionist, it remains to be seen if the director/producer will make more changes in the Blu-ray edition. Star Wars: The Complete Saga, a nine-disc collection, will include a host of deleted and extended scenes from the original trilogy of films, previously unavailable to Star Wars fans. The collection will also include a 30-minute documentary featuring a discussion of the films by Lucas, the late director Irvin Kershner, screenplay scribe Lawrence Kasdan and music composer John Williams. In addition to the six Star Wars movies, the set will include three discs with the added features. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
