quote "They were from a guy that called himself Maxiuca - he was talking about doing a proper telecine of a ROTJ film print and also a 16mm SW doco. I must try to back in contact with him" I new this guy from ebay when he was registered under the name mnobic, and also his maxiuca site which is no longer working. Also he no longer returns my e-mails, he was a good friend of mine in the past, selling me rare and hard to find star wars dvd stuff and he lived in warsaw poland. he was going to give me one of the first digital telecine dvdr copies of that jedi print and the a new hope documentary, and he was looking for people to help him with info on the making of the films because he wanted someone to make a fan audio commentary, and said i would help write some thing up having bought alot of the behind the scenes magazines and books off of ebay. He asked me to do the audio commentary but i don't have the equipment or knowledge how to record one, no hi speed internet access or digital audio or dvd rom drive. Plus he said he have to sell way more stuff on ebay or help getting funding from star wars fans, and directed him to get in touch with the boards at originaltrilogy.com but i guess he did'nt. I know alot of you guys are savvy knowledge wise and could have done a great commentary. he was trying to get prints for all three 16mm original versions of the films, and i kept an eye out for him telling him about some of the ones off of ebay. Both of us tryed and tryed to find a print of a pre new hope star wars with the monaural soundtrack, but no chance. He wanted to do the all of the original trilogy as newly recorded fan audio commentaries, since there was only little bits on the definitive laserdisc release, not a enough for the whole films. i know their is a whole lot of audio and video clips out their but editing them all together and making them seamless would be a chore. I reminded him of the audio snipets in the behind the magic cd rom disc two under the scene by scene sections, but some of the audio material came from the same as the definitive laserdisc release. Also at the time he even considered getting a hold of the dr. gonzo set, since their was no tr 47 or anything else as good at the time, and scrap doing at the efford of a transfer. But i was aware that some star wars fan helped by donating the print of jedi, and defray some of the cost. This guys laserdisc collection is awesome, he has nearly every pal, ntsc, or english or international version of star wars on laserdisc and some very rare disney titles or most of them. He even accuired all of the indy documentaries from a guy in the u.k. and other rare star wars stuff.
