As I recall, the technicolor print was used only for reference, because it had held up much better than the other prints. here's something from an article on technicolor:

"An article on the 1997 restoration of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (original version 1977) claimed that a rare dye-transfer print of the movie, made for director George Lucas at the British Technicolor lab, had been used as a color reference for the restoration. The article claimed that conventional color prints of the movie had all degraded over the years to the extent that no two had the same color balance."

So, it's sitting there. I'll scale the wall. I need people outside The Ranch to create a diversion. Ready...break!
