I know this came from Editdroid, but I was just wondering if you knew if this trailer is a TV spot or a theatrical trailer. I'm also curious about the source- it looks like it was shot with 8mm film off a TV or movie screen.

Well, because it looks like crap. I tried initially to use it, cleaning it up, etc. But, like a lot of the GOUT footage, it is so bad I didn't want to open my edit with it.
Ah- I see. Thanks! How come you couldn't use the Fox logo from the GOUT ESB?

I have no connection whatsoever with the EditDroid team, so I know as much as you do. It seems like it's definitely a theatrical trailer. To me, it looks like a film projection being videotaped. The version on EditDroid Special Features is interlaced. I deinterlaced the version on Story of Empire so I could pillarbox and resize for anamorphic. My version is 16:9 pan & scan. That is, on 16:9 sets it's pillarboxed and on 4:3 sets it's fullscreen. The aspect ratio is correct on both kinds of sets.
