>1,2,3
Blu-rays/dvds. They replaced Yoda in Phantom Menace with a digital Yoda for the blue-ray but other than that they're the same
>4,5,6
Either 4K77 or D+77 versions (they're basically the same, 4K77 is 35mm scans while D+77 is the 4K blu-ray with 4K77 footage spliced in whenever they made a change) so thats:
Star Wars 4K77 or D+77
Empire 4K80 (which is out yet so you'll have to go with) D+80
Jedi 4K83 or OTD83
Hope that helps
>D+77 is the 4K blu-ray with 4K77 footage spliced in whenever they made a change
>4K80 (which is out yet so you'll have to go with) D+80
So, these d+ versions are based on blueray? Are they fricked with that grey/blue filter like LOTR?
No, the 4K blu ray, which was a really good transfer. The blu ray and dvd transfers of the original trilogy were really awful (color and contrast wise) but the 4K blu ray looks really good.
Also I probably should've been more clear that both 4K77 and D+77 are the theatrical cuts rather than the special editions. 4k77 is 100% the original since it's 35mm scans of theatrical release prints whereas D+77 splices the official release with 4K77 footage whereever appropriate and then gets the 35mm footage to match the 4k BR footage color/contrast/grain wise. It's pretty seamless imo
Oh, last thing. Personally I would actually recommend watching them in release order (that's 4,5,6 then 1,2,3) but whatever, it's your life I'm not your mum.
What about Rogue One?
Reminder all nu wars is homosexual shit
Frick off, freak.
There are 6 real star wars movie. Your mouse Black person shit doesn't belong or fit.
Rogue One was in production before the buyout. It’s G-canon.

Ignore the other homosexual. Rogue One is a solid movie. Timeline-wise it’s set immediately before Ep4 so keep that in mind, and if you think you want to watch anything else nuwars
>skip the sequels, obviously
>Andor is good
>Mandalorian is good/watchable for the first two seasons - the third one shits the bed completely
>everything else can be safely ignored
thanks, you've been very helpful
>I would actually recommend watching them in release order
i've already seen original trilogy, so im not worried about spoilers if it's about that
also, i heard plenty of times that first 3 episodes are pretty rough (never seen them) so i thought better to get them out of way and leave the best for last
that is ok then. just so that there is no mistake, you are talking about this?

>just so that there is no mistake, you are talking about this?
Yeah, that’s it. There’s a guy who upscaled both volumes to 4k. They look pretty good. I’ll post a link to them in a bit.
Here:

thanks. ive bookmarked it and plan to watch after the second movie
Yeah just one last thing: choice between 4K77 and D+77 is more down to aesthetics. 4K77 looks like 35mm prints so they're grainy and the colors pop in ways your regular HD transfers don't. It's neat but it takes a bit to get used to. Meanwhile D+77 looks like what a really good blu-ray version of theatrical Star Wars would've looked like. So take your pick
>also, i heard plenty of times that first 3 episodes are pretty rough (never seen them) so i thought better to get them out of way and leave the best for last
Yep. They're not AS bad as some people say but man, Attack of the Clones (imo) is pretty bad.
>Attack of the Clones (imo) is pretty bad.
That's what fanedits are for, and there are many. Hal9000's edit is the most famous one that most recommend. There's also Caleb Gamman's AotC: Fixed. Pick whatever works for you.

Hal9000 also did edits for the other prequels, which are also recommended by most. But you can pick whichever. Gamman also did an edit for RotS.
i've got to see the original first, but out of curiosity, what exactly is wrong with it that it needs edit?
>i've got to see the original first
I wouldn't. It's a mess.
Gamman's got a few videos explaining the changes he made for AotC on Youtube.

Hal9000's changes are listed here:

What's the difference between the two edits?
For RotS, the theatrical version should do just fine. But if you want a fanedit, then there are plenty to choose. Here are the major ones:

>i heard plenty of times that first 3 episodes are pretty rough
The only one I'd call rough is Episode 2 due to Lucas pushing the limits of digital technology at the time. But the other two are genuinely great with episode 3 being his masterpiece imo. Also I'd say you're making the right call starting with the prequels if you already know the "twist".
>i heard plenty of times that first 3 episodes are pretty rough
They're not the most horrible thing ever produced like the gen X OT fans claim, but they're not "hidden gems" the millennial prequel fans claim either.
I just say try to have fun with what they are.
you should watch 4-6, then 1-3 for the best experience
then you can finally watch it 1-6 for full context
the disney plus uhd bluray release is the best visually, however it ruins the ending of ep6
so go with 4k77 or the 1997 special editions on laserdisc or vhs
the dvd/bluray 2011 releases are TOTALLY FRICKED
AVOID THEM COMPLETELY
>4K blu ray looks really good.
to be clear for everyone, it's the 2019 UHD 4K release, which is the disney plus one, not the 2011 bluray which still has fricked colors
?t=268
what I intend to do is take the 4kbluray and splice in my own edits and tweaks using 4k77-83
>they're basically the same
objectively false
one is a blurry mess, the other is a crystal clear movie
40+ hours, do not watch it
>40+ hours, do not watch it
Wrong Clone Wars. The 2003 series is 2 hours in total. The 2008 series is 7 seasons.
I know but I wasn't patient to delete my post and do it without that line.
In my opinion that cartoon adds nothing, just wasted 2 hours.
Yeah I actually forgot that the blu ray of Phantom Menace is fricking terrible. Attack of the Clones and especially Revenge of the Sith looked good on the other hand. Did they fix Phantom Menace for the 4K blu ray or not? Sorry I usually just watch the OT and only occasionally throw on the PT (again, I don't think they're as bad as some Gen X people do but man, Attack of the Clones doesn't work for me at all)
PM for bluray 2011 or 2019+ is fixed in the sense that 95% of it is crystal clear and looks better than ever but there are two three scenes where for some reason the DNR fricked things up, like in the field scene where the rusted battleships hover over the hills, a tiny bit of details is gone from the texture - but the rest of the movie does not suffer from detail loss via DNR so I guess they used some ML shit that just fricked up there.
>Star Wars 4K77 or D+77
>Empire 4K80 (which is out yet so you'll have to go with) D+80
>Jedi 4K83 or OTD83
based thanks anon
4k 77 80 83
skip the gay ones
It’s Star Wars they are all gay.
Wrong order.
Please watch Clone Wars (2003) between episodes 2 and 3, I swear it's worth it
>Please watch Clone Wars (2003) between episodes 2 and 3, I swear it's worth it
what is the total run time? might be too much to commit tbh
Vol 1 and 2 are like an hour each.
It's just above 2 hours of shorts compiled into two volumes, it's just movie length. don't confuse it with the CGI cartoon, that one had one movie and 7 seasons.
I really recommend you to watch it, it's a better story than any of the prequel movies.
Watch TLJ on repeat until you realize it's the best Star Wars movie.
Reminder all nu wars is homosexual shit
2004 Verison of Empire Strikes Back is the best version. Really any updated version of that film past that era is the best version.
Adywan's ESB: Revisited is the best one.
2004-2011 had pink lightsaber for vader because of the shit colors
and the explosions look terrible for the same reason
but they did remove luke's scream, so that's a plus
I'm going to go with the 2019 one and edit boba's lines, then it is near perfect to me
perfect would be if I could somehow match the colors to the special edition on laserdisc
Read the original novelizations instead, frick watching movies
The novelization for ANH is way too different from the final film and has a lot of shit that doesn't gel with the rest of the series. This is because it was based on a very early script. Empire has a blue Yoda. Return's basically the same but with more stuff to it. However, it mentions that Owen Lars is Obi-Wan's brother.
bumpin cause there's a lot of good links in this thread. Thanks anons
You're welcome, dude.
skip 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and then just torrent 4, 5, and 6 w/e you find
Or he can just watch CW 2003 as it immediately fills the viewer in on all the important shit.Then watch Revenge of the Sith and from there, the OT. Rogue One in between if he wants.
If you do get curious about the TV/streaming series (other than CW03), I'd say watch them after the movies.
Harmy's Despecialized Edition. Ignore everything else Star Wars.
Nah that's way out of date at this point, 4K77 or D+77 are the ways to go now if you want the theatrical cuts
Adywan's ESB: Revisited is a MUST. Download each part and use 7zip to extract them all together. This will produce the video file.
https://swrevisited.wordpress.com/how-to-get-revisited/
You can watch his ANH, but it's still SD. Right now he's working on the HD version complete with new changes. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/STAR-WARS-EP-IV-2004-REVISITED-ADYWAN-1080p-HD-VERSION-NOW-IN-PRODUCTION/id/5942
His RotJ will be worked on after he's done with ANH: Revisited HD.
will he re-render everything in 4k?
I want the ESB emperor scene in 4k for my edit
he goes too far with everything else
the last theatrical release because that's what Goerge Lucas wanted you to see
but keep in mind something which in my mind was not very clear, but I might be autistic, ep. 3 occurs over a single week and there's jealousy involved, the friend of Anakin is manipulating him there, it's all in the deleted scenes but Lucas fricked up a bit in the release
>the last theatrical release because that's what Goerge Lucas wanted you to see
So the 1997 Special Editions then?
2019 blu-ray have the changes he wanted to put in but he couldn't since he sold
too bad, I'm editing the old voice back in
and I will restore vader vs emperor in rotj to the way it was
1997 versions are kino, I wonder what happened to the 4k97 project that was gonna scan in the special trilogy
>there's jealousy involved
it should not have been cut
also the original drafts for ep1 have a bit of flirting between padme and obi wan, love triangle was probably a thing from the start, without it, it becomes a bit hollow
Padme was 14 in TPM. Obi-Wan was 25.
this was in the early early drafts when things were very different, there was no qui gon yet, originally padme and anakin destroy the trade federation ship together in a twin seat fighter
but the love triangle hint is there, it's stronger motivation for anakin to turn to evil rather than not being allowed on the council
this love triangle shit is worse and a rehash of the love triangle in the OT
nah, it's better
also because it leaves the option that luke/leia are actually kenobis, which makes sense because he is a father figure for them, and gets killed by darth vader
>love triangle in the OT
which gets abandoned by rotj because leia is luke's sister
>the option that luke/leia are actually kenobis
why the frick do you want to shove this cuck shit into star wars?
it was probably the original idea, but then lucas thought it would be more interesting if vader was luke's father
and leia obviously wasn't luke's sister til they made it up in rotj
The original idea was that Vader killed Anakin until he decided to make them the same character, don't be an idiot
There's 4K 35mm scans out there for every film except Episode II, grab those.
It really doesn't matter. Autistic fanboys get held up over the changes made but they don't detract at all from the overall viewing experience. Just watch whichever version is readily available to you.
i found a 35mm version of the phantom menace
watch that
just watch the latest versions of each film, in chronological order, as george intended
Please use the actual proper watch order:
1) Star Wars
2) The Empire Strikes Back
3) Return of the Jedi
and that's it.
