Question about widescreen AOTC.

I'm just getting into the whole widescreen DVD concept. Before, I was annoyed at the black bars taking up your screen and everything, but I now see the advantages you get and I have a widescreen TV now so I'm cool with widescreen.

Anyway, I was watching AOTC on CBC a few weeks ago, and it was a widescreen version. I had previously only watched the AOTC VHS at home so hadn't seen the widescreen version since the theaters. During the Jedi Council scene, I actually saw Even Piell and Oppo Rancisis, two guys I'd never seen in that movie before, and I was like "Man, widescreen rocks!".

So, I was wondering about the scene where all the Jedi are turning on their lightsabers. In the VHS, we first see Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo Koon turn on their blue lightsabers, and some green-lightsaber-wielder off to the side whose identity I had never figured out. I didn't get to see the rest of the widescreen one on TV because I went out to see ROTS.

So, do you see that Jedi's face in the widescreen version, and if so, who is it?

 

its general grievous.

 

K seriously, who is it?

 

idk, but general grievous was at the battle of genosis.

 

Yeah, I know that, but he was like killing Jedi in the catacombs wasn't he? Noone survived to tell the tale, and he didn't go public until Hypori.

 

i looked at the movie and its real hard to tell what jedi that is. could have been just a unnamed jedi.

 

Just checked the DVD. It looks like Coleman Trebor's hand, but you don't see him turn on his lightsaber until a few shots later. Interesting.

This shot? If so, that Jedi on the left is Bultar Swan.

 

thats not the right shot.

that is the right shot. good show ol' chap.

 

That's gotta be Trebor. Same hand, same sleeve, same lightsaber. I think we've just found a blooper!

 

Yeah, I know that, but he was like killing Jedi in the catacombs wasn't he? Noone survived to tell the tale, and he didn't go public until Hypori.

-As Jack Sparrow says...if there are no survivors....who was the one to start the tale..

 

i do believe he did kill some jedi that day

 

Where did you people get the info that Greivous was in AOTC? I watched that movie a million times and never saw him, is this some EU crap?

Lord Pimpin

 

Yes, it is EU crap.

 

hmmmmm, so I guess that's a big "no" to my question. No big deal. I agree, though, that definitely looks like a Vurk hand.

And yeah, the Grievous stuff is EU, but it's not crap. It's from Labyrinth of Evil, which explains the Sifo-Dyas stuff, so that has to count for something. Don't listen to it if you don't want to. Whiteeagle mentioned an EU topic, I elaborated on it. Let's move on.

 

i was just tryin to joke and then it turned into a big ol discussion bout gg, thats funny.

 

Where is General Grevous in AOTC?

 

he's hiding in the catacombs, but you dont see him in the movie. it is menitoned in the book Labryinth of evil

 

Yes, that's true about General Grievous. Didn't his construction begin a little after TPM and then finish a little after AOTC?

 

i believe you are correct, sir.
