I’m looking to add the “limited edition” OT DVDs to my collection.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but…
Why?
Just download one of the many fine restoration projects here.
Because I’m a collector and I like having official releases. I do have the Despecialized Editions, but there’s something to be said about having the actual releases.
Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t have paid money for the GOUT in 2006, nevermind 2017.
You should probably just get your hands on Team Negative 1’s Silver Screen Edition of Star Wars '77 and the grindhouse releases of Empire and Jedi. The picture and sound are based off actual release prints.
um, isn’t the audio from laser disc? (at least it isn’t the print audio).
If it is, I didn’t know that. Could’ve sworn they said in the first post of their thread that they were sourcing the audio from the print itself but that was forever ago.
Which LD mix did they use?
I must be remembering the 1.5 release: which used Japanese LaserDisc (PILF-1236) for the main track.
The 1.6 release used DTS-MA HD English Stereo Track from Harmy’s DeSpecialized Edition as the main track
but yes, the secondary and tertiary tracks were sourced from optical prints.
