So i've tracked down some good condition Super 8 reels (two of Star Wars and two of Empire) and I'm currently in discussions with some companies now to get quotes on a decent transfer.

I have two reels of each movie, but they're all labelled pretty similar. Ken Films, Selected scenes, 17 minutes, Colour Sound, Super 8. The Star Wars have the codes F-64 and F48 on them, ESB F-63 and F-64. Dows anyone know if they contain the smae footage?


I know that there were 2 different Ken Films Super-8 versions of ESB, each having different scenes (talking about the long versions- not the short). I think there were also 2 different versions of Star Wars.
