Stupid airport wifi is too slow to handle the reel4 preview, but what little I did see was spectacular! This is easily the most exciting project around these parts, IMO. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ecstatic and incredibly grateful for the work being done on SW and Jedi too. But both of those films seem to be pretty well off in terms of being preserved. Whereas with ESB, I was genuinely concerned about its future. Even the copyright deposit print at the LOC is brick red. Very exciting to see the original theatrical version (not a recreation!) won’t become a lost film after all!
