ok!

 

enough speculation, i think the well has

run dry, and now we're repeating ourselves.

 

anyways, i'll start a new thread about the 35mm

version soon enough, so we can concentrate on

the details over there, and not in this one. this

was just a more general thread anyways, and

it's gotten quite messy with all kinds of topics.

 

what we need to still do:

=========================================

1 artwork - we put out a few ideas over here:

star wars: 35mm theatrical version

-----------------------------------------

restored to its original brilliance and color

in 1080p with theatrical audio soundtracks

in english and spanish.


but first a look back at how we got here:

==========================================================


a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away....

---------------------------------------------

i was a 10 year old, living in calgary, alberta - canada,

during the fall of 1977. i had heard about a movie

called star wars, but had not seen it yet. finally

after friends had told me about it, i saw the toys,

the commercials, and decided to go. so sometime in

the fall, i went. i don't remember the exact day,

but my life was never the same again. the impressions

of the opening crawl, the flyover with the destroyer,

luke, the droids, ben, leia, han, chewie, and of course

darth vader all became a permanent part of my psyche.

the light sabers amazed, the x-wings, and death star

were sights to behold. the story, the tale, had

captured my imagination. i would go on to read the

books, buy the comics, bedsheets, you name it. to

this day, i still have my original c3p0 and r2d2

action figures, and all my collectors cards...



closing the trilogy, the special editions, and the prequels

-----------------------------------------------------------

......................

 

your turn.. hitting the 35th anniversary and more.

================================================

spread this movie. show it to your friends.

tell people you are watching the original star wars!


we are happy to share it with you, because we

enjoyed it also... and we hope you will too.


it was a labor of love.

 

but in the end, despite the issues,

the time, and money spent. it was

all worth it..


we hope that this inspires people, and 

we especially thank george lucas, and lucasfilm 

first and foremost for creating it.


it may have been a long time ago in a galaxy

far, far away....


but not anymore. we hope to celebrate

many more anniversaries with you and

watching it as it was meant to be.


may the force be with you.
