STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER - Disney+ Just Made A Surprising Change To How The Movie Looks

Disney and Lucasfilm have made some visual tweaks to the finale of the Skywalker Saga that should improve your Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker viewing experience (it won't make it any better, though).

The Rise of Skywalker is the worst reviewed Star Wars movie in the Disney era of Lucasfilm, with a 51% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans are just as divided as critics, though, and the finale to the Skywalker Saga definitely failed to resonate with a lot of people.  

Like Game of Thrones, there are those who would like to see Episode IX receive a remake, but that's obviously not going to happen. However, some tweaks have been made to The Rise of Skywalker that should make it a slightly more enjoyable viewing experience on Disney+. 

As you can see below, J.J. Abrams' heavy blue/green camera filter has been removed, and there's a noteworthy difference based on these before and after shots. It's unclear why Disney has made the change, but it's possibly because that filter doesn't work as well on television as it did in theaters (some of the visuals on the big screen definitely looked a little murky). 

Interestingly, the captions during the final battle have also been changed to provide the names for each of the Jedi voices that Rey hears. There are no big new reveals there, though, as their identities have previously been confirmed. 

Take a look at the changes to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker below:

@NHartMusic - You could that about the entire Disney "trilogy".

You know this stuff happens all the time, right? It's not worth an article.

@Kumkani - Yeah it seems like a HD vs HDR thing and I'm assuming Disney+ only has the HDR version for streaming. Color correction and grading gets changed all the time. Whether they should or shouldn't is the debate.

So much wasted potential.

Say what you will about the prequels but at least they told a clear story.

@dracula - You and I agree on that mate.

@dracula - that I agree on as well.

For me the prequels are very much Star Wars movies, but the sequels are just movies set in the Star Wars universe.

And I'm not saying that to hate on Disney, because The Mandalorian, Bad Batch and The Clone Wars all feel very much like Star Wars stories.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who



Put Favreau in charge

Get someone who actually knows Star Trek (Maybe see if Ronald D Moore is willing to put something together, DS9 revival)

Get a new showrunner

@dracula - Don't know about Trek. I was okay with Picard, and to my surprise really enjoyed Lower Decks.

@Kyos - I accept your opinion, I feel Star Trek hasn't been the same since Enterprise or the Nemesis movie, that's where they went full on action movie/show instead of being a science fiction like it was intended originally

@Kyos - I agree with you there. But I seem to be by myself with regards to Discovery. Yeah the first season was more miss than hit, but did show potential. To me at least, each successive season has toped the previous and set up two more spin-offs that most people I believe will enjoy more than Discovery itself.

@dracula - I think for Star Trek to survive it HAS to not give a shit about the 90s era. They're still so caught up in that. And don't get me wrong TNG and DS9 rank in like my top 10 favorite shows. TOS is there too. It's just time to move on to new characters and stories. Add more soace exploration stories, more first contact stories, no more Borg, and fly it out 200 years into the future. We're good. And fire Kurtzman

@dracula - DW is the worst of the bunch right now. There are still likable aspects of Star Trek and Star Wars such as Kylo Ren and Picard but I see no redeeming qualities of this new era of Doctor Who. Even the music sucks right now, it seems so lifeless.

@dracula - doctor who has been the worse offender for me. Love that show (even watched the classic series) and this new show runner is shitting on everything that came before

I know some may have enjoyed the last 3 movies but as I listen to The Hand of Thrawn audiobooks and think of what we possibly could have I’ll treat these as What If...? variants🤣

@ChangAlang - Why the new movies weren't done as loose adaptations of Thrawn -trilogy or other legacy novels, I will never understand. It's called respecting the sorce material, look it up, Kennedy.
