Please everyone. Remember. The device you are watching this on is not a proper 4k set up. No matter what it is. Buy the disc. I have this. I picked it up today on 4k. And it is so much better than what you see here. It is a gorgeous picture. Absolutely stunning
Other than a slight Blue tinge to everything, doesnt seem to be much of a reason to upgrade from standard 1080p to 4k. I bought the Episode IV: A New Hope 4k and It definitely looks pretty good. I'm probably just going to get Episodes III, IV, V and VI on 4k and call it done. Might get Rogue One, but I need to see the same sort of side by side as presented in this video before I do, as it is my favorite Disney SW movie.
Yesterday I watched Episode I in 4K for a long time. Incredibly poorly aged CGI, aliens as if they were made of wax. Particularly noticeable with Jabba and Boss Nass. That they didn't improve it again. The film now seems to me like a mixture of animation and live action. Nobody can tell me: "Well, they want to preserve the film in its original form..." Creepy.
In conclusion, if I just have the 2001 DVD and I want to upgrade to a better quality, is it worth buying the 1080p 2011 Fox, 1080p Disney 2019 or the 2020 4K edition?
@@Mymoonization I have the 2001 DVD and 2011 Blu-ray, but don't have 4K UHD player at all. Mainly cuz I can't afford it and it's difficult to get one anyway at the moment cuz here in the UK, our non-essential stores are closed due to the corona pandemic.
I am aware but however, if you want to have my opinion, you will not lose much because Disney makes fun of us because there is very little content and I can reassure you that the company has well plan to release it later once it has finished its first big profit. Why do you think Disney started taking out the Skywalker box before the Blu-rays ?!
@@Mymoonization Yeah, I see what you mean. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to keep up with home media on modern formats. Wondering if they'll even be another new home media format higher than 4K UHD in the future as most people use streaming services these days. And if you say they'll probably re-release Star Wars yet again later, then I'll probably just stick with my Blu-ray sets. I'll only buy a new set if they finally include the unaltered versions of the OT with the Special Editions (which they probably never will).
According to this, especially the scene where only the two lighthtsabers are visible in the smoke and the next one, Liam Neeson's face in the dark, the difference is huge. And I do bear in mind that I saw this from an old Eizo 1920x1200, 16:10 monitor. So in a 4k tv, the difference sould be bigger. I don't see any complaint, that I hear from general, in this comparison.
So basically, we have been suckered BIG TIME. The difference between the bluray and the 4k and BARELY perceptible. This is the low-life trash at Di$ney taking the SAME transfer, twiddling the knobs on brightness and contrast a hair, and VOILA! It’s a 4K release! As if I needed more reasons to hate this greedy company....
Idk if everyone knows this but they gave this movie and the originals new 4K transfers and put those transfers on the blu ray. Compare these to the original 2011 blu ray and the difference is more noticeable. Only Ep. 2 & 3 are upscaled since they were shot digitally
I think that my anger with this release, is that these films qualify - the original trio, anyway - as NATIONAL TREASURES, and should be afforded the most ROYAL treatment available. At this point in time, anything less than brand new HDR-10, Dolby Vision, etc., is simply an insult to the fan base that have been championing these films since inception. If these is any more obvious display by Disney, that they have ZERO respect for the franchise, then these releases demonstrate that perfectly. Obviously, I am PISSED at this...my sincerest hope, is that given the current DIRE financial situation that Disney finds itself in at the moment, is that they BANKRUPT, and sell off his franchise.
These comparisons look great. Makes the 4k the favourite and it probably is but this 4k transfer isn't getting great reviews. I thought the blu ray looked a bit drab
It does. The reason it looks weird in the video is because this video is not renderd in HDR. If you watch the movie from a 4K HDR TV it will look alot brighter
@@Mymoonization this one isn't atleast. Or you didn't upload it as HDR. Since it says 1440p on my phone and not 1440 HDR. And yes my phone supports HDR
I can guarantee all of my videos are in HDR and i just checked it on my iphone it recognizes HDR well. However, I have noticed that some brands of phones do not output HDR correctly. Have you tested on your TV because it works great on my LG OLED ?!
@@Mymoonization my two questions: is the losless Dolby Atmos audio worst than DTS MA of the FOX 2011 BLU-RAY in terms of low frequenzy LFE signal? Is the picture quality of the new made 1080P Discs better than from Fox 2011 Discs? Please if you will compare the DTS MA tracks two from 2011 and 2020 Discs many thanks
For both questions the answer is yes ! Also, for reasons of copyright and respect of the TH-cam community I am not able to make this type of comparison but if I had the green light then I would have done without hesitation because I have the equipment for.
Hi thx for a video. It is strange. In Your comparison of Disney + vs regular the difference is bigger. It is because of Dolby vision? It looks like a same master but contrast and color saturation is more expose.
Now that TH-cam allows 4k quality I can see the difference. Colors and brightness seems a bit off compared to Blu ray though... Gungans underwater city arrival seems less magical than BR... I wonder why. I read on Digitalbits review "What’s more, with an impressive application of state-of-the-art “film-look” processing, Reliance has managed to produce a 4K DI image that’s… well, not great, but certainly better than I was expecting on UHD". So I hope for the best what this movie will be at last release in France
My moonization I just picked up my fourth or my Fifth generation SW 4K special Edition from Best Buy. Been collecting all SW special editions since early 90’s. I must say, I’m not happy at all with most of these 4K transfer. Episode 1 thru 3 mostly CGI’s which looked so unreal and lacked depth & HDR. Episode 4 & 6 are the best 4K transfers of the entire set. I was shocked to see how good they were. Definitely 4K quality. Hardly any grains, sharpness and great HDR with good depth. BEST! Episode 5 looks average, has noticeable grains even with all noise filters on & not good HDR & depth. Episode 7 was ok, average but definitely not in top 10 list of 4k list. It lacked HDR & Depth. Picture had noticeable grains. AVERAGE. Episode 8 had NO HDR at all and barely any depth as well. Probably the most Horrible 4K transfers of all StarWars 4k disk. Disney should redo this movie again. GARBAGE 4K! Very sad to see Disney ruining StarWars home movie disk qualities. Episode 9 not surprised at all by what you are now noticing about Disney. OMG had a hard time thinking this was a 4k transfer at all. Obvious noticeable Grains every where. I had to play around with my 4k settings from my normal 4K set up just for this movie to finally get an improved picture. Closing comment: Such a shame Disney ruining StarWars 4k disk quality. Seems Disney loves to have grains visible with barely any HDR effect added to these movies. Sad to see this happen to my all time favorite Franchise.
This is a unpopular opinion from me, but I actually enjoy watching the Phantom Menace.
Don't worry everyone is free to like what they want !
Jamieb1994 Phantom Menace is good. Its only that Jar Jar Stinks character that I can’t stand.
Jamieb1994
I love the movie! Have since I saw it again last June.
I love the phantom menace and always have. To me, its just behind ROTS in the prequel trilogy. 8.5/10
You're obviously not alone, shitty people will always be noisy, still, millions of us love this and the other prequel movies!
Please everyone. Remember. The device you are watching this on is not a proper 4k set up. No matter what it is.
Buy the disc.
I have this. I picked it up today on 4k. And it is so much better than what you see here. It is a gorgeous picture. Absolutely stunning
Gorgeous? Lmao
It’s a DNR mess.
Sad that a slight bit of frame is missing from the 4k version, on the top and bottom. I wonder why that is.
Thanks!
Other than a slight Blue tinge to everything, doesnt seem to be much of a reason to upgrade from standard 1080p to 4k.
I bought the Episode IV: A New Hope 4k and It definitely looks pretty good.
I'm probably just going to get Episodes III, IV, V and VI on 4k and call it done.
Might get Rogue One, but I need to see the same sort of side by side as presented in this video before I do, as it is my favorite Disney SW movie.
This is compared to the Disney+ stream. The UHD 4k Blu-ray looks slightly better.
Yesterday I watched Episode I in 4K for a long time. Incredibly poorly aged CGI, aliens as if they were made of wax. Particularly noticeable with Jabba and Boss Nass. That they didn't improve it again. The film now seems to me like a mixture of animation and live action. Nobody can tell me: "Well, they want to preserve the film in its original form..." Creepy.
Thank goodness the pink tones are finally gone! It looks like it did in the cinema.
And more natural !
I know the 10:00 min mark scene was shot digitially, one of the only ones for this movie.
Almost identical, except they backed off (thank God) on the reddish skin tones in the 4K.
At least they didn't overdo it
In conclusion, if I just have the 2001 DVD and I want to upgrade to a better quality, is it worth buying the 1080p 2011 Fox, 1080p Disney 2019 or the 2020 4K edition?
If you are equipped to view 4K content then take the 4K version and it will be accompanied by the 2019 version as Blu-Ray also.
@@Mymoonization I have the 2001 DVD and 2011 Blu-ray, but don't have 4K UHD player at all. Mainly cuz I can't afford it and it's difficult to get one anyway at the moment cuz here in the UK, our non-essential stores are closed due to the corona pandemic.

get the 1080p 2011 fox, disney just messed up the 2019 blu rays with lot of DNR the same goes for the 4k blu rays.
Did you do a comparison between the 2011 Blu-ray release vs 4K release?
The 2011 vs Disney+ version only !
My moonization oh ok, I’ll check it out 👍
According to this, especially the scene where only the two lighthtsabers are visible in the smoke and the next one, Liam Neeson's face in the dark, the difference is huge. And I do bear in mind that I saw this from an old Eizo 1920x1200, 16:10 monitor. So in a 4k tv, the difference sould be bigger. I don't see any complaint, that I hear from general, in this comparison.
Some of them have MUCH BETTER lighting due to added HDR🎉
Have you ever thought about doing a comparison with Disney+ 4k streaming to a 4k physical copy? See what the difference would be between the two.
Yes but I can tell you right now that the Disney+ version in Dolby Vision is just amazing !
@@Mymoonization It would be a fun video to watch.
I know but maybe later because I have a lot of videos to prepare !
@@Mymoonization Of course! I was just throwing it out there as an idea.
@@Mymoonization what you mean amazing?
It baffles me how do You compare Rec709 with Rec2020?
I feel like they just made the movie slightly darker. Can’t tell any added detail or depth with these stills. But thanks for the effort.

this is what I been saying for along time now 4k is just color correction.
@Jason I did now.

Do people not realise that the prequels were shot in native 2K?
PLEASE DO DISNEY PLUS 4K VS DISC 4K
THANK YOU
KEEPIT UP
These comparisons look great. Makes the 4k the favourite and it probably is but this 4k transfer isn't getting great reviews. I thought the blu ray looked a bit drab
Probably the worst looking SW film on 4K but glad that the skin tones look more natural at least.
OOF. i read, and this was before the 3D re-release that the film was basically mastered in 1080p. from the looks of this comparison id have to agree.
So far the Star Wars prequel trilogy looks to be THE best 4K transfers I've yet seen.
Still getting this dispute probs clone wars rise hope empire Jedi and rogue one
Isnt hdr supposed to make picture brighter?
It does. The reason it looks weird in the video is because this video is not renderd in HDR. If you watch the movie from a 4K HDR TV it will look alot brighter
I’m sorry but all my videos are in HDR :)

@@Mymoonization I just checked on my LG TV and it doesn't say HDR either. On both my HDR devices it shows no HDR option🤨
Great comparison
Either one of them is better than the dvd quality.
So, at least the 1080p BD Disney, it's better than 20th Century Fox version?
That’s for sure !
@@Mymoonization But not for the audio part!?
Even for the sound, I am not very impressed !

What's The Difference?
Pretty much........nothing !!!
Just a slight Contrast difference
The only reason to upgrade would be for the Dolby Atmos
The KnightFTW what are you watching this on?
this is shocking. Maybe I can stick to my blu-ray 1080p.
you'd do better !!
@@Mymoonization yes dont worry I cannot stop my self but sad to see they have not done a better job.
It’s a known method of Disney. One day they will release it in better quality. For now, make way for business !
