We gotta keep that Logboy guy around here. The links he sends in are better than bad, they’re good! What’s he got for us today? Comparison shots of images from the Star Wars Special Editions and the revised versions of the same shots from the soon to be released 2004 DVD edition.
Lucas’ constant tweaking drives me as crazy as the next guy but the changes in these shots amount to minor tweaking and cleaning up and generally make things look a fair bit better, particularly on that cleaned up Jabba from A New Hope. I still wish I had the option of seeing A New Hope without Jabba in it at all and there’s still a ton of speculation about further, more extensive changes being made which is troubling to me but as far as straight clean up goes these look pretty good.
Check ’em out: Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi.
