Just curious, Williarob: is there any overlap between this project and the Team Blu / Poita restoration effort? This would seem to be the ultimate preservation of SW77, will it render Poita’s project moot?

I’d also like to say that, even if The Mouse House embark on their own 4K reissue I still believe yours to be a very worthwhile and essential effort. Disney will still go back to the negative and may well foul up the color timing again while digitally scrubbing the movie within an inch of its life. I love the grain I see here; the mild presence of dirt, the subtle picture weave that speaks directly to my memory of what Star Wars - and film-going - was like in '77. That’s something a glossy modern transfer is very unlikely to achieve.
