I was out there in "Buttercup Valley" to watch Boba go into the Sarlaac, and we saw Carrie on the deck. Mark came to the fence to talk to us for over an hour. Nicest guy ever! They has a copter with a camera ball mount for the flying scenes.
The Sarlacc Pit CG looks bad, but that's not the only problem. The original Sarlacc was cool because it was a giant mouth opening in the sand that you could fall into. It was subtle and understated and natural. They changed it into a big dumb venus fly trap creature coming out of the hole, to try to amp up the action and make the threat more flashy and obvious. But that ruined the design of the Sarlacc, because it wasn't supposed to be "Oooh look, obvious monster coming out of hole." They've cheapened everything.
There was a sort of unknown, primal fear attached to the original sarlacc pit. The idea of falling into a pit, except the pit is actually alive, is pretty terrifying. You also can only really imagine what it truly 'looks' like, as you can only see its gaping mouth. The new cgi version undercuts that by essentially 'showing' you the monster. The more you can see, the more you understand, and the less terrifying it is. Seeing a weird (and poorly animated) plant thing come out of of the pit just feels like any other monster. Also I've always wondered what would happen if the cgi mouth missed someone, and they just kinda, fell to the side of it. Would that be like getting a piece of food stuck in your teeth for the sarlacc?
Guys what r u talkin? The mouth was added by Disney/ fox / George This other versions here is literally are the theatrical cuts before the mouth was added long before that yk? It’s not after it it’s mean to show before that the years before that it was added That’s the point of those versions it’s not after it or „ not used“ later
I agree, but to be honest all the cgi aged very poorly in the special editions imo. They were already looking mediocre at best when they first came out. I remember being very disappointed when i first saw the special editions in theatre, i couldnt believe how bad they looked when a movie like Jurassic Park came out a few years earlier and it had cgi that looked 10 times better than this! And since George “the asshole” Lucas was refusing to release the original unaltered versions, i was stuck with the crappy special editions. I hate them so much that i literally couldnt watch them at all, so i was stuck with my old VHS cassettes with the original versions on them, and a few years later i was able to watch the GOUT that came out on dvd, which was very bad quality wise. So believe me the Harmy’s unaltered trilogy was a dream come true for me, its the best thing that ever happened to me as a Star Wars fan!! They are exactly like they were when i first watch them in 77, 80 and 83, nothing can beat that imo! And now i cant wait for the 4k versions, its going to be amazing! :)
@@DanielLopez-zt4ig My guess is he insists that the newer versions are most canon. But, that's kind of hard to fix out, even in your own movies, because each scene took so much time it should've been thought over in the first place... either that or it was much easier to create 4K of later versions AKA laziness.
Man i cant wait to get the whole trilogy in 4k!! I already watch them in “upscaled 4k” and it looks amazing, but upscaled 4k is nothing compared to true 4k. And since nothing beats or even come close to the original unaltered trilogy for me, i can only imagine how insanely beautiful they will look in true 4k, i cant fucking wait!!!!!
The difference is HUGE! The picture quality is far superior on the 4k83, its very very obvious! I own every versions of the trilogy, I watch them on my 65” 4k tv and the difference is huge. The 4k77 and 4k83 versions are incredibly beautiful, and as much as I love the Despecialized editions, it just can’t compete with the 4k77 and 4k83 versions, the difference is that big. I guess that you have to watch it on a big screen to really appreciate the difference, because watching this on a iPhone or iPad is ridiculous, you wont be able to see any difference on a small screen.
I’ve looked at clips of a few of the nine Star Wars movies in 4K Ultra HD, and to me, the picture quality looks... too dark for me. So no, if you wanna see the original Star Wars Trilogy in a high definition format, I highly recommend the Despecialized Editions. And don’t forget, Han Solo shot first.
@@patrickwilson1459 Like I said before, I have every versions of the trilogy, and the official 4k released the trilogy is pure crap imo, while the 4k77 and 4k83 versions are works of art! Its better to never mention the official releases unless they finally release the unaltered trilogy, because the special editions are pure shit! ;) lol By the way, the Despecialized editions do not exist in 4k nor in 1080p at the moment, it only exist in 720p, so if you want the best experience possible, the one that will make you feel like you’ve went back in time and you are watching the movie on a cinema screen in 1977/83 but in 4k or 1080p, there’s only one way to go and it’s with the 4k77/4k83, it’s that good!
Harmy has done some incredible work! 4K83 looks great and I'd like to say that it is exactly how I remember it in the theater, but I was 10 and I'm colorblind :) All I remember from the theater is my aunt reading the subtitles to my cousin :)
There’s subtle color changes in the Special Editions that are better than the original 88 film, but then there’s other colors in other scenes that look better in the original film. I wish an ultimate edition with only the GOOD improvements from the Special Editions (improved CGI effects like the X-Wings, Death Star blowing up, good color improvements, etc), but no of the useless CGI (A rock added to cover R2, that long necked animal crossing in Tattooine, and other things) existed.
@@redfive1300 Not to mention, the "subtle colour changes" are simply down to the transfer at the the time. As the point of this comparison video clearly shows - the left 2 are special edition derived and the right 2 are from an 83 print. All are different, due to the grading/colour timing. FYI, the 97 death star explosion is definitely NOT an improvement. Every special edition change was worse, with the possible exception of a few death star battle shots.
it would be impossibly cool if on disney+ you could pick and add scenes (from both the theatrical and special edition releases) so you could essentially create your own definitive version of the films but something like that will never happen unfortunately :(
Despecialized is still the best one. 4K83 is superbly sharper, but at times overexposed. But honestly, thanks God these great people did all this work!
I notices some differences in in the faces, at the beginning Han's face looked more detailed in v1.2.2, and a little more smoothed out in v1.3, but not any more so than either of the other version presented, so I'd put it up to personal preference.
It's tough to say which is best. Each edition has better and worse colouration in some scenes. I also remember my first VHS viewing was so much darker in the original but 4k shows way more detail. I could pick so I got them ALL 🖤
i was wandering i have a VHS box set called star wars trilogy special edition. i believe it was released in 1997 at least that is the latest date on the boxes. which version would that use do yah recon?
I think it's for a more international release, if you are a non-english speaker, having both english and your language subtitles is a little distracting

this level was so damn hard on lego star wars
Shit I remember how hard this level was.....The most difficult for me was battle vs AT AT on Hoth
For me the hardest level was escaping the Death Star, I hated that one, but it led to my favorite mission, the Death Star attack.
@@spi2derman i agree escaping the Death Star was extremy hard and borring
@@j.k4150 i also didn‘t really liked the battle of corousant at the beginning of Rots
@@СерафимТоманов I personally thought the first level of revenge of the Sith was the hardest.
Honestly the sarlacc is a lot more scarier without the beak.
Right? It feels much more “what lurks beneath” than the special edition one, which just kind of looks like a generic venus flytrap style monster
@@kevinkwok3460 someone should just put the Mario theme over Sarlacc in the special edition because it now looks like a Piranha Plant
Yeah the beak just makes me think of sesame street muppets. Or little shop of horrors.
The beak just feels off. You got a mouth surrounded by teeth? I mean that looks totally out of place.
It doesn't even make sense with a beak

they also add a shadow below that mini pirate sail speeder passing by that was missing in the original

Actually, it’s 3:23

Consistency is 0 lol
It's even worse because they _did_ add the tentacles, and just didn't bother with the beak

In my opinion both the
Blu-ray and TN1’s 4K83 (mNR;v1.3)
look great matching 2 different versions into one. :)
One for every mood. Nostalgia: TN1's. Anytime: Harmy's. Lost my mind: 2011 Special Edition
Harmy's version is great.
I hate that fucking beak so much. A black hole surround by teeth is so much creepier than some cartoonish Audrey II thing snapping away.

Thank you, I totally missed that!

any edition without Audrey II poking out is good. That and without young Anakin ghost.
RIP Boba Fett (presumed death) and Kithaba
He got out of Sarlacc in the Expended Universe. As for Cannon, in Star Wars: Aftermath it is highly suggested that he got out of Sarlacc.

4:16-4:19 have fun playing with sand, while getting devoured by the sarlacc pit, boba fett.
I think blu ray is best apart from the sarlaccs mouth, it looks rly weird
The color in 1.2.2 is more immediately appealing, but I think 1.3 is better.
I agree. It's more saturated, but I find skin tones to be distractingly saturated. Overall I think 1.3 is best.
There's more picture in 4k83
The mnr looks amazing how do i get this on disk?
I'm afraid you are going to have to burn it onto a disk yourself, there are only encodes available out there.
Could you make a comparisson video with the Despecialized vs 2011 blu ray vs 2020 blu ray?
Any chance of a 4K comparison of the Space Battle of Endor
One day!
Not sure where the 4K83 is from, but it's a bit too bright.
I think the original Sarlacc Pit looks better but I understand why George Lucas changed it. I respect his decision and opinion.
Any chance I could get a comparison video of 4k83 versions 1.2.x, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.6? Not sure which colors I would like the most.
And they still can’t fix that fake kick at 4:13
You see, Luke has reached such a high level of power, that he can forcekick people, he kicks and the force follows through. True story.
Just a question what is it with removing subtitles

The beak is literally useless
In my opinion the Sarlacc pit getting its CGI beak was a good decision. I think it brings more character to it.
I was born with the 2004 DVD version,
so for me the CGI Sarlac Pit is great and more realistic.
I grew up with the 2004 but the original is way more realistic because it was actually real unllike that venus flytrap with tentacles.
in the disney version he wouldve fucking jumped from that pedestrial 50 meters straight into jabbahs face and wrecked him..
Bluray is better. Cgi is amazing
LMAO
