I have the french ld and the Japanese ld. I can do a rip of them both and put them on the spleen. I’m off to the states for a few weeks for Christmas. I’ll try to remember it when i get back though 😉

Any progress on this?

Great work, OP! I remember buying the VHS from a street vendor selling tapes out of a black garbage bag. One of my best random finds.

Yeah, I’m also waiting.

And I’ve loved every pixel of it.

Yes. The french ld is now on the spleen. The japanese version will take me awhile as I’ve just moved and it’ll take me awhile to get the ntsc player up and running for capturing. This is also on usenet. It must be over a year old by now though so I figured the spleen is much easier for most folks.

Luke threw twice…maybe.

I loved “Empire of Dreams”, a great 2 hour documentary, I’ll definitely check this out, especially since its in HD

I’ve always wanted to make love to an angry welder, I’ve dreamed of nothing else since I was a small boy.

I have 2 different dated VHS copies of this doco that I’ll be uploading to the spleen. I’ll let you all know in case there is any interest in having other sources for this.

Cheers!!!

I made a similar version of From Star Wars to Jedi. I used the french ld, hbo vhs capture, and the audio from sw dot com. I mostly used the French LD for video and I used the HBO version for any french subtitled cuts. I also used 4k77, and despecialized ESB and ROTJ for the movie frames. It doesn’t do the blurred background pillarbox thing though. I also synced and added the french audio and ocred the french subtitles. I manually made english subtitles for the whole thing too. It is 720p I can upload it somewhere if anyone is interested. I know there is a 16mm film scan of this in the works eventually. I plan to donate to that effort. I will probably update this again to use that footage.

I was unable to obtain the schorman “Star Wars Laser Disc Audio Archive” with Japenese audio track or I would have included that as well. I am not on myspleen or anything.

I was comparing the 3 versions I had of SW2J and chose the LD because it seemed to have included more of the frame.
