"Jar Jar, I have a bad feeling we're not on Naboo anymore." This.  |

I see a lot of young Anakin coming through Vader in RotJ. It's the one movie where we properly see his relationship with Palpatine, and he is very submissive in his presence. A far cry from the imposing black knight he is in ANH and TESB. The scene where he says "That name no longer has any meaning for me" especially resonates with Ani's line in TPM when he says "I'm a person and my name is Anakin."

So basically he is admitting he isn't a person anymore, but a slave. Those good ol' ring composition inversions just keep on giving. |

And lastly, I appreciated the less saturated (more mature) 4K transfer up-close. I prefer to sit in the last row of the foremost section as a point of reference. Hear ye, hear ye... But just so I understand, I'm assuming this theatrical screening is that of the 4K transfer versus an older flushed version. In any event, yes, Return of the Jedi in 4K certainly relishes in a photochemically color-timed presentation most equatable to its original 35mm Eastman color print screening. Said diffusion makes way for something more organic, allowing the film its natural age. A darker exposure but with filtered light that actually feels in-camera, and wherein you can really appreciate the comparably austere -- indeed, "mature" as you put it -- sensibilities of late 70s and early 80s sci-fi/fantasy cinematography in tandem with sets and costumes: degrees of beige and vaporous backlighting.

So i went and saw it this week. I needed sleep and could barely stay awake. And i had seen it hundreds of hundreds of times of course. So it felt a bit silly for it to take so much effort to watch it (and spend the money). But it was the only Star Wars I'd never seen on the big screen. It really does make a difference seeing it in a theater. There's something that legitimizes images when they're so big. The size and volume of the rancor actually is scarier. The sets don't look as fake, the foliage of Endor somehow has more depth. Just seeing faces fill the screen. Granted, someone with a nice home theater speaker setup and nice sized, well calibrated TV could do almost as well, but watching it in a theater is an event you can look back to and say "it happened then and there". As far as Im concerned, the Empire was defeated by Ewoks and Rebels at the AMC theater in Easton, even though i knew exactly how it would go down.
