As far as I know, the sources that exist for TPM are as follows:

-Japanese Laserdisc

-Official DVD

-schorman’s HDTV preservation

-Official Blu-ray

-Theatrical DTS CD-ROM

Is there anything else that could be used to create a BD ISO for the theatrical cut of The Phantom Menace?

There is also:

• Z bootleg
• theatrical VHS
• theatrical VCD
• Adywan’s reconstruction
• theatrical ORF Ein PAL broadcast
• theatrical ORF Ein HDTV broadcast (was recorded by at least 2 people but not shared nor uploaded)
• lot of HDTV captures in several languages (Spanish, German, French, Russian, Polish, …)
• some HD bonuses featuring theatrical scenes not available elsewhere (palpatine’s office, full theatrical podrace)

I’m currently working on a HD theatrical reconstruction, since it seems that previous projects were abandoned. The entire process takes time but is already well advanced and I’ll post news here as soon as possible.

Thanks for your efforts. I updated the top post.

As far as I know, the sources that exist for TPM are as follows:

-Official DVD

-Official Blu-ray

-Theatrical deleted scenes from digital releases in HD

-Theatrical DTS CD-ROM

-Theatrical ORF Ein HDTV broadcast (supposedly recorded but remains unavailable)

-Various HDTV caps in non-English languages (Spanish, German, French, Russian, Polish, …)

-schorman’s HDTV preservation

-Adywan’s DVD9 reconstruction

This project is being updated way more on fanres.

I don’t think there is one available for TESB or ROTJ as far as I know, but I would like to know more about these.

I’m interested in this but without the English dubs. Just the OG Japanese broadcast versions uncensored with Japanese audio and English subtitles.
Or maybe not.

If you want those, I suggest looking for the recent Winxbloom release.

Is this rendered in 1080p or 4K?

A bit of aliasing caught my eye.

Is the audio on the Laserdiscs any better than the original 2.0 mixes of the series or FWWM on the Blu-rays?

He shared a lot of his scripts I believe.

Disregard this.

I’m watching it right now and it looks cropped.

This post doesn’t really answer your question but I had fun making it.

This is an all-timer.

Now THIS is shitposting…

I concur that the '97 mix sounds better than the '11 mix. There’s even Cinema DTS soundtracks for them out there that you can utilize.

Them!

Bringing up people’s boners tends to overwhelm whatever the post was actually about.

These off-topic discussions are driving me to drink! I need a stiff one.

Nothing like a Long Island Iced Tea to really get you going

He gave just an idea - you know, we were talking, and he said: “if you want theatrical accurate colors, why don’t you use a print scan instead?” - he doesn’t even know that is actually possible! 😃

Is that in the wild? Dunno, but if someone is aware of it, please drop me a PM, I would be curious to give it a try…

It’s found on your favorite organ…

If you ask me, this really needs to get an HD upgrade. Take note that the Special Longer Version is my second favorite version of the film, and the one version of the film that introduced me to the original Star Trek crew.

Seconded

Bill Hunt says Disney has a 4K scan of SOTS but have no plans for it yet.

“FYI, a couple of other bits of interesting information that Chuck passed on to us from last night’s Wexler event: About 100 of the 400 or so classic Disney animated shorts have been scanned in 4K (at Warner) and restored. Also, new 4K restoration work has been done on Disney’s Song of the South to fix certain shots previously out of alignment (because of a faulty camera used during the original photography), though no public release is currently planned. Fascinating”

(I know this story has somewhat groundbreaking info on Star Wars, but I want to keep on topic).

He shall double his efforts!

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?

Talk to poita about acquiring prints. He’s the best person here to talk to about that sort of thing.

Harmy used upscaled laserdiscs from Team Blu. We don’t yet have a time frame for any new Blu releases so I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.

I watched this last night Dreamaster, and I wanted to thank you for this amazing improvement to the Grindhouse! This is now my go-to version of ESB until Poita’s restoration becomes available. Well done!

😄
I’m really happy this regrade has been so well received! And it’s intention was exactly that, a bit of fun and education until the amazing work of others comes to light of day with these Poita/Harmy/Adywan versions rock our socks off later.

ESPECIALLY Adywan’s…

Molly said:

Does he even have any more 97age than that?

I believe that’s the only one he has.

The only missing element is a scan of some 35mm prints. Williarob has Reel 1 of Star Wars scanned, but I don’t think anything else is scanned.
