A short question - are you working with a 1977 print or a 1981 print ? The canyon scene is really dark

hard to say, the crawl was spliced onto this set

of prints for reel 1..

also, since it's an lpp print, it was probably

duplicated and made around 82-83.

Are you worried your project might become too popular and snowball?

not sure what you mean?

Have you thought of what happens if your project becomes really popular on the net and attracts the interest of THE MAN!

what project? there's no project here..

move along, move along.. this isn't the project you're looking for..

haha... nope, not worried about it, or thought about it.

whatever happens will happen. we can't control what

people think or do after the fact.

Then why the past secrecy?

the cat is out of the bag..

lucas has successfully sold a ton of blurays,

so star wars in HD is safe, and in the hands of people

that want it in HD if they didn't have it already..

there's not a whole lot left to do,

and not that many people are really going to wait

around forever to see if the originals come out...

so the timing is a lot more relaxed now before,

then when people only had access to the HD broadcast versions..

i really don't think this will make much of a dent honestly.

only the few people that are interested in it will seek it out..

much like the 8mm, and 16mm versions have their audience,

so will this..

of the screen during optical shot composites..

If you get ignored by vbangle, your reputation immediately rises in my eyes.

To be fair I don't think the studio would've cared as much if he had waited 35 years after its theatrical run to leak it.... which is the point Star Wars is at now.

This project is not going to undercut any potential sales, it's already been released on several formats over the years, including BD, and there's no indication whatsoever that the UOT will be officially released in anything resembling high quality so it's not as if this would affect Lucas' bottom line.

If Lucas were to get bent out of shape over these fan releases he would've done it years and years ago. He obviously doesn't care.
