I'm much more interested in the 70mm.

 

Couldn't agree with you more Sluggo.

I always thought the sale of 35mm films was not exactly the most legal thing in the world. It wouldn't surprise me if this gets taken down.

We had a discussion about this on the Home Theater Forum recently- apparently it's not so clear-cut. Just owning a 35mm print isn't automatically illegal (which is what I always thought) but it has more to do with how the print was obtained, which is a grey-area. If it's a very recent title, chances are it was stolen- but not necessarily, and it's hard to prove in any case. :-/

With older titles (like ESB) it's even harder, because some 35mm prints were legitimately obtained.
