What do we know for Sure will released at the 50 aniversary?
Release date?
OT or/and special edition? 4k?
Bonus content?

The release date is 19th February, 2027 - in the USA (and likely many other places around the world).

In Germany, the release date is listed as Thursday 18th February, 2027.

^ It is very much worth keeping an eye out on your local cinema listings…
 

It will be the unaltered theatrical edition of the Original Trilogy (as it was in 1977) - confirmed by StarWars.com.
 

It is unlikely Bonus Material will be played in the cinemas - but preservation work on Bonus Material is being undertaken by the ALI OOT Restoration team - likely for a probable physical media release / Disney+. There could also be a documentary on the process of this ALI OOT Restoration - though it will likely be for the probable physical media release / Disney+ / or maybe on the official Star Wars youtube channel etc.

^ Re the ‘Bonus Material’ - that is just my best guess… and I could well be wrong. Hopefully we’ll all get confirmation soon…

👍
 

Edit: there is some more info here in the FAQ - and some ‘useful links’ on the 1st page of this thread.

Here’s a comparison of the old ALI clip image vs new ALI clip image:
 

The old ALI image…

 
The new ALI image…

It looks like the hood ornament changes shape between the two versions. Does this mean there’s some sort of temporal DNR or image enhancement going on in one or both?

It’s just that the old clip’s highlights are blown out. While the newer one’s ar enot. Nothing to do with DNR… Also, the old clip is slightly more stretched…

The feature I’m talking about doesn’t have highlights that could be blown out in either image.

Yeah, I know I mentioned that the image was more horizontally stretched in the old version, too.

It’s good that people like you are here to correct us on some perhaps misguided assumptions.

I hope that’s sarcasm…

He literally thinks Lucasfilm edited in a hair to the Fox logo lmao 😂

I never even mentioned Lucasfilm… I guess the hair moved on its own then… after all, it was tired from sitting in the same spot for 50 years! You haven’t shown any proof to the contrary besides “IT LOOKS MORE CROPPED,” which has nothing to do with the position of a singular element within a full frame…

Everyone here should just ignore you, child. Don’t you have homework to do?

I recommend taking another look at our Hard Rules, specifically number 2. You won’t be warned again.

Yawn. No shortage of VPNs and new accounts I can make lol

This, btw, does not make you look tough or smart, on the contrary, in fact…
The Mods here aren’t idiots.

The hair moves around relative to the lightbeam in 4K77. Maybe those are different frames?

That lightbeam, atleast the one that contains the hair, happens to be still. It doesn’t move at all.

I’m kind of confused on how else this would happen without digital manipulation… DNR and sharpening just don’t do that sort of thing. Everything else seems to match identically (besides the color, compositing, and transparency), except for the hair, which clearly shifts lone to the right…

With all this talk about the hair , it kind of makes me wonder if it would split into two streams after a hard night of drinking . Sorry, I had to say it . I’ll see myself out…

The hair was a result of when Fox updated the '53 logo around 1976 with a registered trademark symbol superimposed onto it. It likely snuck onto the film gate during the process.

Zardoz (1974) [no hair, no symbol, center framing similar to the older ALI clip]

The Omen (1976) [hair and symbol, framing zoomed in slightly to the right similar to 4K77/newer ALI clip]

I’m with the sentiment that ALI likely recreated it from a different pre-1976 film source by digitally re-adding the hair and symbol as they couldn’t find the real one in good condition up until now.

I was gonna mention how the r looked a little mismatched too, but I held my tongue! Thanks for the info, guess that explains it.
