Do you worry about Lucasfilm coming down on you for doing this? Seems risky no?
Sorry, the correct way to ask that question is, "Aren't you afraid the Empire's going to find out about this little operation of yours and shut you down?".
Ha, that's funny, if true! I don't have the Blu-rays so I can't check. From what I've heard of them though they did sound like tweaked versions of the 2004 re-mix and weren't that impressive.
I recently took part in an all day Star Wars marathon (video here) and we watched the Dark_Jedi discs for the OT. Everyone thought they looked and sounded great. My post here is just the tiniest of nitpicks and I did enjoy them overall, hairy_hen (and Dark_Jedi). Thank you!
The phasing issue is heard at Boba Fett's departure and then the cut to Leia and Lando running in the hallway. The times on the Dark_Jedi disc is around 1:41:50 (101 minutes, 50 seconds) and 1:41:56 (101 minutes and 56 seconds).
Has anyone else noticed phasing issues in The Empire Strikes Back 5.1 mix where presumably sources were merged together? I don't have specific times, but I noticed them when watching Dark_Jedi's disc recently.
Yeah, Dark_Jedi's discs were used.
I reinstalled an operating system on a computer during Attack of the Clones.
Time lapse video of a Star Wars movie marathon that my friends held the other day where all of the films were ranked by the guests on a scale of 0-10.
Is this the very last video transfer to get the glow of Luke's lightsaber on the Millennium Falcon right?
FanFiltration said:"Back in 1991 I went to a one time only theatrical showing in New York City of all 5 Trek films (up to that date). They presented the films back to back. They called it "Sit Long and Prosper". The showing of ST:TMP was in 70mm, and had most of the extra footage that is included on the extended pan & scan VHS, but not all of it.
There were never any 70mm prints made of TMP, only 35m prints. Some of the 35mm prints had the extra TV footage spliced in for the "Sit Long and Prosper" showings. Even the print that was pulled to show Robert Wise at the Director's Guild in preparation for The Director's Edition project was one that had these scenes spliced back in. That print was also missing the overture.
70mm prints were planned initially, but the frenzied post production period didn't allow for them to happen. A film has to be locked in order to produce the 70mm version because the sound has to be recorded to the mag track. That may even have to happen in real time. As we all know, there was barely any time to get the 35mm prints made.

Timed to be released with the J.J. Abrams movie perhaps?
