4K restoration on Star Wars — Page 164

Not to throw fuel on the fire but, considering the rumor about July 28th being a theatrical re-release of the original…

This magazine is coming out July 25. Now, it could totally be coincidence but isn’t it a bit strange that a 40th Anniversary book is coming out 3 days before this supposed theatrical re-release? Instead of in May?

BTW…there is a screening of every Star Wars film (including Rogue One and TFA) during Celebration…except for the prequels 😃

seems they’re screening RO and ANH as one event, and ESP, ROTJ, and TFA as another.

If they aren’t releasing a new transfer, SW is going to look like SHIT alongside RO.

Conspiration theory: It says “Special […] Edition” on the cover. 😉

BTW…there are no less than 7 different SW books coming out on 7/25. Granted, that hardcover is the only specifically targeting the 40th anniversary but…

Getting back on topic with 4k restoration. (Maybe someone can post a separate thread to move all the Celebration speculation out).

The shots did not have SE elements in them, but in all likelihood, they were SE ones.

Working on the fan 4k77 will get pretty good results, and there will definitely be more
options than an official release.

This has basically been the “I hope we get the OOT soon” thread for a long time now.

Maybe someone could move the fan edit talk out. The rest of us are talking about the possibility of a re-release

Better to talk about something related to the 4k, technically, than some vaporware announcement from
speculation, or books, or screenings.

FACT : 4k restorations have been done.

FACT : No official announcements have been made about it.

FACT : Previews of versions have been shown.

FACT : 4k restorations are also being done by other people.

SPECULATION : 4k release will be made.

SPECULATION : An announcement about 4k release will be made.

SPECULATION : Restoration is for the original versions.

I would change the “4k release will be made” from SPECULATION to INEVITABILITY, at least so far as the SE is concerned.

First I’m hearing about this rumor. Was it brought up earlier in the thread or did news (well, rumor) of it just break somewhere else?

The theory came from the Disney schedule where something is mysteriously being released by Disney on July 28th - Untitled Fairy Tale. They wouldn’t say what it was.

I have to admit I was wrong. I thought the wishcasting was going to go from April to 2020. Quite obviously there will be another date in July, and another one a few months after that, and so on.

I think that IF anything is announced in April, it would be tied to July. You’re still right. April and then 2020.

If that book doesn’t reference the theatrical version of the film, then it’s useless to me

The Untitled Fairy Tale could be a movie called Magic Camp

Produced by Disney. Scheduled for release in 2017.

I really don’t think “untitled fairy tale” would have anything to do with Star Wars.

Which has a title and isn’t a fairy tale.
