Digital Version Will be Different to Film Version!!

So with release this week, anyone able to comment on this some more? What differences are there between the print and digital versions?

 

The sparks coming out of Jango's jetpack was added to the DVD release, not the digital version. Counting the IMAX version, there are 4 different versions of AOTC.

The other noticeable change besides the holding of hands at the wedding was Padme's interchange with Anakin at the end of the confession scene. The "You're human" bit, which was also on the DVD.

I think it was said that the Dagobah ROTS scene would be in the digital version.

 

OK digging this up because I can't make new topic.....

Anyway I have seen ROTS 3 times now. The first two times in digital and last night in film.
Had read that it was pretty well established that the two versions were identical, ie no extra scenes etc in the digital print.

However.....Maybe I am losing my mind or I was thinking too much about what I was seeing but I am pretty sure I noticed at least one extremely minor difference between the digital and film prints on my viewing last night.

Everything seemed the same up until Anakins 2nd vision. Now I have a clear image in my mind of what Anakin looked like in the "Sony PSP" shot when we see him after the vision. I remember him as looking almost at the camera with a very angry expression on his face and the PSP just hanging in his hands.
When it came to this bit of the movie though the shot seemed quite different. I sat up and it definitely seemed to be an alternate take from a slightly more side on angle and you didnt get that cool look of him scowling. Nothing else significantly different. Now I dont know if it makes much sense that if Lucas was to release two different print s it would be one with such a minor change. This kinda bothered me and I began to scrutinise the rest of the film to see if anything else seemed different.
I came up with a few others but I am much less sure of these than I am abut that partiular shot.

The Temple hologram security footage of Anakin fighting seemed to be different. Not sure how. More of Anakin fighting. May have been losing my mind here.

When Luke is born Padme said his name twice. Once to name him and then another time when Obi-Wan is holding him close to her. was pretty sure she only said it once when I saw it digital.

When Bail, Yoda and Obi-Wan are discussing what to do with the twins Obi says "They should be split up so that the Sith do not sense their location" whereas I'm kinda sure he said something more like split up so the Sith will not find them. The implication of the "sense" line being that the Sith cuold sense Vaders kids if they met them or they were together which as we know from Ep IV doesn't happen (Vader unknowingly torturing his daughter). Maybe it was always like this though and it just jumped out at me this time.

In short can anyone else confirm what I am talking about or am I just seeing/hearing/misremembering things? Am not so sure about the last three but the PSP shot definitely seemed different. But such a minor change?

i think you may b

ther second time i watched it, this part seemed longer and it was in the same screen

 

The uncertainty is spreading!
Am I crazy or super perceptive!

 

i think the extra 'luke' from padme is different and you may be right about the sith thing

 

Yeah?
OK then I'll take that as a vote in favour of my sanity
Anyone seen them in both versions recently?

No Dagobah scene in the digital version then? no big changes of any kind?

 

Not worth getting so excited about.

 

I heard that at C3, Matthew Wood (Voice of GG) mentioned how they were currently working on an extended Obi-wan vs. GG duel for the IMAX Version in August.

Then of course you have the rumored Degobah cameo.

 

I maybe losing my mind too... but when Obi-Wan uses the Force to crash a bit of ceiling into 4 of Grevious' Magna Droids on Utapau, in the film version the one on the end still tries to fight Obi-Wan, but in the digital version he doesn't...

I wonder why they'd change such silly, minor things though.

 

no the droid still tries to fight him in the digital version I just saw it on Monday again and on digital.

 

Digital Version Will be Different to Film Version!!

No! No different, only different in your mind!

 

I was so excited about seeing the digital version because of some of the preliminary hype about differences between the two. Alas, only to be disappointed.

 

Ah well, the quality of the picture is what really made me go see it digitally. There's no comparison, it's awesome.

 

Seen it on film 4 times, then digital yesterday, didn't notice any difference. Digital looked a lot better on the fitst two because Sith id a darker film. Still, glad I saw it digital.

 

According to the imdb the film version has the scene where Anakin talks about the wood carving he gave Padme in TPM while this scene is omitted in the digital version. Considering I have only seen the film version (which did have this scene), I am not sure if this is true. Can anyone who has seen the digital print please confirm this?

 

Nope, that scene is in the digital version as well. I just saw it last night.

As did I and it was there. So far, I have heard no concrete info. about any differences between the two versions.

Didn't they have to make AOTC like 20 minutes shorter for the IMAX version, because the IMAX projector can only hold like 2 hour reels(or something to that effect)?

Why would they make the IMAX version longer for ROTS.

 

Where is it said that it's even coming to IMAX? I thought we read that it wasn't.

 

Sometime after AOTC came out, they were able to modify the IMAX projectors to allow them to run longer than two hours. I'm pretty sure that this was after AOTC but before about a million other movies came out on IMAX.

Also, I've seen several references to the confession scene in AOTC being extended for the digital cut, but you guys are getting mixed up; that was added for the DVD and was not present on the digital cut. I saw AOTC about ten times at the theater, and at least 8 of those times it was digitally.

 

The only reason I wanted to see the digital version is to see Yoda land on Dagobah. Since it's not on there, I'm not in such a rush.

About AOTC: I saw it 16 times on film, and on 2x on IMAX. Never saw the digital version. Anyway, every time I saw it, the confession part where Padme tells Anakin "You're only human" was never in it, film or IMAX. Then, a friend of mine came here to Vegas in September or so and you could order AOTC on the Golden Nugget's pay movie service. The "You're only human" was in that version. I don't know why they didn't put it in the film version, it's a good scene.

 

I saw a version of AOTC where the scenes ran longer than the theatrical release. Does anyone know how to get that version?

 

yup, they are different, i've noticed it too.
