So to preserve digital movies we should carve out all of the data in stone. That seems completely feasible.

It is not feasible of course for every information we currently have.

Friendly teaching moment: It should be “all the information we currently have” or it should be “every piece of information we currently have.”

Thank you my friend. But the language has just evolved and what you suggest is archaic now.

If you consider grammatically correct to be archaic, then yes.

In the future all grammars will be carved in stone. ALL GRAMMARS

Archaic is naturally still grammatically correct. Words “thy”, “thee”, “thou”, etc. are grammatically correct.

He just rehashing his usual lame thing where he claims a grammatical mistake is the future of language because he’s a perfect being. I tried to just be good-natured about his mistake for once, but obviously it’s pointless to engage him in any way because he always just does the same stupid shit.

Anyway I would suggest Mr. Frink to address any future grammar-related matters using private message in order not to interfere with the thread topic.

True but irrelevant to his point.

Hahahahahaha. I’ll just let you look foolish instead, rather than trying to help. If you had just stopped at “thank you my friend” then that would have been the end of it.

So was his conditional sentence.

I only implied that you are trolling rather than trying to help. Now you bluntly admitted it. So much for the “good-natured” intent.

If you had used private message it would not have even started in the first place. But you admitted that you wanted to troll.

He probably ordered the 2004 masters to be butchered intentionally out of spite.

There are people on this board that literally unironically believe that George Lucas hates his own fans so much that he would go out of his way to make his (at the time) new, definitive version of his life’s work intentionally horrible.

I still have every VHS tape we’ve ever owned, except the few that were eaten up, I don’t understand why people get rid of them.

Space? A desire to live in your house and not convert it to tape storage?

I live inside a coffee mug.

I live inside a box. Inside a cardboard box.

I think it’s hilarious how fuzzy the picture of GL using a digital cinema camera is:


I think it’s an intentional effect?

It’s stylistically designed to be that way and you can’t undo that.

Not just the obvious pixelation at the edges, but even his face and everything in the middle is fuzzy.

I personally don’t care any more about an official release of the unaltered version.

I mean, we all are here to see what very very talented people can do to restore this. This case never happened to any other film ever released, Star Wars is the reason for this board, because WE love Star Wars. I met very great people here, like Harmy, Laserschwert, Poita, TV Frink 😃 , Williarob and so many other. And all of this people having one goal with different ways to accomplish this.

One of those names doesn’t belong with the others!

Yeah, curse that Harmy.

What the hell are you even talking about? I did no such thing. I tried to give legitimate advice for just once and you proved it was a complete waste of my time, so I said I’ll just go back to letting you make a fool of yourself instead of trying to help you.

I know, he’s totally the worst, wasting everyone’s time with his lame posts while I’m over here saving Star Wars.

Would it be Disney in charge of restoring Star Wars material or Lucasfilm? If it’s the latter then I’m not sure that what Gluck says would even matter. That, and we don’t even know what question he was answering. Better to just reserve all expectations until April rather than go in optimistic or pessimistic.

I agree. I don’t doubt that Gluck knows what he’s talking about, but he wouldn’t be the one to spill the beans if this is actually happening. To my knowledge he didn’t say anything about whether or not restorationists are or have been working on this stuff.

He essentially only confirmed, that the negative of Star Wars is still conformed to the SE. He mentions nothing about the scans of the SE negative or the OOT elements. In other words a digital reconstruction of the OOT can exist, or can be reconstructed, while the physical negative is still conformed to the SE, and the OOT elements are in storage.

^This
The digital bits article basically told us nothing.

There is also a reputable poster on the blu-ray forums that says he knows for a “100% fact” that Disney is in the process of or has already finished scanning at 4k every single scrap of Star Wars film in their possession.
Now, I’m sure that’s pretty standard for Disney for archival purposes, and it obviously doesn’t mean they are working on an OOT, but at least it’s something…

Can you point me towards that guy? I can’t track that down through google or the bluray forums.
