Hello, I’m Mario, (seriously, it is. LOL) I’m new to this site. I joined because for years I’ve been watching the special editions of Star Wars, and then I recently watched the original theatrical cuts and was amazed at how much better they were! Now I’m all into 35mm scans and preservation of original cuts.
Happy to be here!
40+ year old movie buff here. I just found this yesterday and man, am I blown away. Movies have been my safe place for my entire life and i’ve spent thousands of dollars buying everything you can think of looking for what best recaptures the experience of seeing a movie in a theater in the 80s and 90s. I can’t believe you guys have hit it. I am in love, and would love to learn and contribute.
Just discovered this community and I’m wondering why haven’t I found this place sooner! Fantastic work by everyone and excited to contribute! 😃
Hello.
I’m a big cinema fan.
I discovered this place hunting for a proper alternative to official 4k LOTR release witch is so much messed up that i’m only using my theatrical BR release instead of my 4k extended BR one ^^’
Can’t way to get the links to watch them again ^^.
Thanks to all hard preservation workers here !
Howdy ya’ll
Hi everyone,
Im Rick and im totally obsessed with Star Wars.
But that obsession doesnt just include a specific era of star wars,
its the star wars content that either tries to tell a simple OR complex story in a galaxy far far away.
I am however a big enemy against stories that have no heart, talent or passion behind it and that is full of actual plotholes.
Like alot of the disney star wars stuff (not all but most disney stuff unfortunatly).
Im currently working on a very big “star wars watchalong timeline guide” in form of a classic txt file guide which is filled with a a lot of passion and care.
Im unsure if i will ever share it online once it is done. It is just a private thing for me and my rl friends for now.
I might be if people really care about that.
But aside from of that im not really a interesting person. At least i think.
Hello my namee is HiddenWheel and I have been a SW fan since the early 90s and I like to find something to enjoy in all Star Wars (OT, PT, ST, CW etc.) I am looking for a community that explores the canon in a deep kind of way.
Yo, I was introduced to this by a friend and mutual fan of the OT.
Hello, I have just joined having found the site following some searching,
I missed Star Wars at the cinema originally (being only 5 at the time) but saw both ESB and ROTJ at the cinema on their original release. Its safe to say these are 3 of my favourite films of all timne.
I have bought pretty much all of the re-releases over the years but its been some time since I saw the original releases - I have two of them on VHS. I can tolerate the changes made to Star Wars, in a way the change of the Emperor in ESB actually made sense to me given to tie it in with ROTJ. However its the changes to the latter film which appall me the most, particularly the new dance sequence in Jabba’s palace and of course adding Hayden as a hologram right at the end. To me, the hologram should always have been as the character died (they didn’t swap Sir Alec for Ewen thankfully).
Anyway, looking forward to having a look around the site.
Hi all!
I’ve been recently getting a hold of some 35mm scans and have been loving the experience of watching these films in this format. Hoping to grow the library and learn some more about the process!
New here. I have been a fan since 1997 and still have such fond memories of seeing the original trilogy for the first time!
New here. I saw all the original Star Wars films in the theater. I was 6 when the first one came out, and I can still recall going to it because it had such a huge influence on me at the time. We actually went again about a year later when my stepbrothers came to visit in the summer, and they had re-released the movie to theaters.
Anyways, I had recently bought the Return of the Lego Jedi Speeder Bike Chase diorama and decided to re-watch ROTJ while putting it together. It had been many, many years since I’ve watched ROTJ and I was certainly looking forward to it. The version I had was the “Special” edition, and the terrible CGI additions were NOT appreciated in the least! Hoping I can one day get a nice HD UNCUT version of this great trilogy. Near as I can tell, this place is the best chance I have at that coming true.
Hi, long time lurker.
I’m grateful that we have very talented people that can fix timeless art and bring it to its original form, especially now in the era of AI upscaling.
Hello!
I’ve been a big fan of Star Wars ever since I got introduced to it during my childhood.
I have know about this forum for quite a while but I haven’t posted before now. It is awesome to see that there is a place where so many fans of Star Wars get to talk about many different topics regarding the movies, but also different movies.
My interest nowadays is mostly in the preservation of cinematic history/culture, so seeing the love on here for theatrical releases and acquiring prints, scanning them and preserving these movies warms my heart.
Thank you guys for letting me be a part of this.
Cheers!
Hi, I am a longtime lurker of this forum and thought I’d join. I don’t have a whole lot to say about my opinions on the films (for the most part, I prefer the official cuts of them all) BUT I do regardless have an interest in preservation of the theatrical versions as well as alternate edits of them. I’m here because I love Star Wars in all its forms. Nice to meet you all!
Hello,
I’m new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I got here through other films and wasn’t aware of the efforts for an unaltered SW trilogy. I have been put off by the SW franchise since the new Lucas films and subsequent Disney films. So it was interesting to see others who seem to have similar views. I was surprised to see Andor highly ranked up there with the original films. I don’t know anything about it so I’ll have to look into it.
Hello All,
I am glad to be a part of this site.
