Anyways, my idea for sources for a Despecialized Edition (which I can’t actually do since my laptop is very weak) is:
- 2010 Diamond Edition Blu-ray
- 35mm scan
- 2002 Special Edition HDTV recording
- LaserDisc of theatrical edition
Right yes, whatever people want to do with it is fine. Personally, I am quite sure the scan will look very good as it is. I’m sending it to the same scanner that scanned THX-1138 for poita who is a professional, and I’ve been told I will not get better results anywhere else. I may have to pay to get the film professionally cleaned (as poita is currently doing for ESB).
I know I’ve said this many times, but there is no home video release of this movie that looks the way the theatrical prints do. Given the extent of recoloring on the BD, I am skeptical that it can be regraded at all!
Hey, if Harmy regraded the Star Wars Original Trilogy, someone can do this.
I think this would be a piece of cake compared to even one Star Wars movie.
