I only found out about this leak today, for the last 10 years I’ve been on and off read-only here on ot.com and similar at the 4K77/80/83 forums. Reading between the lines, that’s where originally there was a discussion thread on the ALI leak what was made private for reasons I completely understand.
The reason I bring this up because there’s obviously 3+ months of discussion I’m not privy to but I wanted to ask if there’s a theory as to the framing/cropping ALI is using for all 3 films?
I realise it’s a WIP but looking at the comparisons provided by oojason, the framing is different from the ALI restoration and 4K77/80/83 (ignoring the UHD and Blu-ray)
In one of the documents there is mention of a published cropping standard for all three films Which is apparently being used. ROTJ seems to have the widest cropping; seeming to be even wider than the official release, though ESB and ANH are much, much more tight. From what we can tell the final cropping will most likely be different.
