With this rumored restored Original Trilogy coming for the 50th anniversary it makes me think:
What would Disney/Lucasfilm do for the PT when the next significant anniversary comes along?
Since there’s no real restoration work that would need to be done (at least for AOTC and ROTS) perhaps in the next couple of years there will be even greater advancements in upscaling tech that would allow for an upscaled PT release? And I’m talking about upscaling that actually adds detail that wasn’t there before (for example: Starlight by Topaz). Obviously it would be great to have all the deleted scenes at the same resolution too…
For me, they could do a Special Edition of the PT - it certainly could do with it given some of the sloppy, poorly executed, or simply bad looking CGI that somehow passed QC at the time - let alone how dated many CGI-affected shots look now. Or if not doing a ‘straight-CGI-only fix’… get in touch Hal9000 for some improvements on the story-front and tightening up the editing for many of the scenes. 😉
Even the 35mm scans for the PT don’t look too bad at all - until we reach many of the CGI shots. A pity, really. Though at least we have a vast array of PT Fan Edits as options for the many that prefer and want them - and you guys working on deleted scene shots, too (as well as your own intriguing Edit ideas). 👍
