Correct me if I'm wrong though or looked over something.
GrotesqueBeauty said:George Lucas is a sad little man with an embarrassing hard on for CGI. Either all his early successes were flukes (or more likely the result of surrounding himself with more talented people), or middle age has been infinitely cruel, changing him from a young visionary into the biggest sellout whore in the history of cinema.
But what if as they lie, there's like, some big bad ass dewbacks stomping across the background. And maybe we could ad an extra etherial shine to the dog's fur, symbolizing it's dream state. Or maybe a thought bubble the morphs into a big dog bone representing the dog's inner desires. You know, something tasteful that adds to the old idiom.zomgbbqftw said:Sleeping dogs lying etc...

You're giving him way too much credit. He's just an old and out of touch self indulgent hack.lethial said:I love how Lucas just trolls the shit out of mouth breathing neckbeards.

It will be gigantic. People who were kids in 1999 are just old enough to be hitting childhood nostalgia mode.
sleeping dogs don't make money and take advantage of your desperately nostalgic and the definition-of-insanity dumb fanbase. Doesn't help that Lucas is one, it appears, himself.zomgbbqftw said:Sleeping dogs lying etc...

You don't know what you're talking about.richiek said:I LOLed.
If we're talking about the guy who inserted Duel of Fates into inappropriate moments and added that awful CG expansion on Alderan's explosion then fuck no.Qwomo said:If he actually makes quality changes like the Adywan Fan Edit...

That is a joke he posted to his youtube channel and isn't in his ANH cut, clearly.Suairyu said:
He kept tweaking that shit that I never followed past a certain point. Fair enough if I was mistaken. He totally added Duel Of Fates in inappropriate moments though.Qwomo said:That is a joke he posted to his youtube channel and isn't in his ANH cut, clearly.
you already have! tell your sister, you were right!Megalodactyl said:Seriously George, this is too much, you are pushing away your core fans!
I remember reading how super hardcore Lucasart is about this.. like they send guys to get the prints back themselves once the run is done; theaters are essentially just renting them; its a simplified explanation, but I do remember reading about that.alr1ghtstart said:how is there not one 35mm print from the original run in the wild?

-There will be a new scene on Dagobah in which Yoda is visibly upset over what has happened. He then looks to a photo of him and Chewbacca together.
I laughed, but also felt a little sick.Mama Robotnik said:MEMO
good relations with the Wookies, I haveAlpha-Bromega said:hahaha oh man
What? The "core fan" of Star Wars has been anyone under the age of 16 for awhile now. I lament these changes like anyone else, but it's been apparent for a long time (since around the last prequel) that they are pushing for the younger market. Old man Star Wars fan isn't going to make them the big bucks.Megalodactyl said:Seriously George, this is too much, you are pushing away your core fans!

On a side note, I had the chance to ask Muren what he thought about the advance of CG for visual effects and if he missed working with physical models. He said that he did, but that the old way of doing things "hit a wall in the 1980s and 90s. We took those techniques as far as they could go." CG, he says, is really just another tool that extends what can be achieved. "The goal is does it look real?" I also asked him if he thought there were some things that just weren't possible even with CG, noting The Hulk as an example of a visual that's difficult to sell to audiences - a 10 foot tall green guy is just never going to look real. Dennis suggested that he didn't so much think it was impossible, just extremely hard. "You know, if you painted a real guy green and photographed him, you'd believe he was really there. Some things we just haven't quite gotten right yet."
He also noted that one day, we'll see a completely convincing, all CG-created human character carry an entire movie... but that day is probably still many years off. "It'll happen eventually, but it's just very, very difficult." He added an interesting follow-up to that, revealing that a lot of big-name Hollywood actors had themselves digitally-scanned about ten years ago, thinking that by doing so, they could continue appearing in films looking young even as they aged... but that nothing has really come of it yet because the technology just isn't there yet. Fascinating.

Xia, how hard/expensive would it be to take a totally digital character like JarJar or Greivous and "upgrade" with current gen techniques?XiaNaphryz said:Surprised noone's brought up this part at the bottom of the article, as Muren details the major long-term goal all the major vfx houses are trying to outrace each other to achieve:
