Yes colouring a few panels that were meant to be blue is different from colourising a film that was never meant to be in colour.

Visible garbage mattes were not *necessary* they could have been avoided even in 1977, they certainly were not meant to be visible. They are highly visible on the GOUT, go calibrate your TV.

As I said, my changes are for me, and I am restricting them to things that were inarguably not meant to be seen on screen. This is different to making new *creative decisions* which is what you are implying. Most of the 'extrapolations' you are making are changing creative decisions.
Others may decide to make all sorts of things including total re-imaginings, that is fine by me. As long as the original is preserved then people can do whatever they like for their own viewing pleasure, it doesn't hurt anyone else.

And Laserman, I'm aware you're doing it both ways, and I have been for quite some time - I just don't understand why.
Then you must have trouble reading, I spelt it out in detail in the last post, and in many previous posts.


Your project is supposed to be a preservation project, and as I understand it you feel that Lucas can make changes to his films - but that he should also preserve the OOT, correct? Well that's the way I feel


Good then we agree on something.

If you have any real questions I am happy to answer them, but I'm not going to answer any more of the type that I have already answered ad nauseum. Please re-read the posts in the thread, it is all covered in great detail.
