Which is almost pointless now. the XO project that is unless you want less than standard definition dvd quality in an era where DVD is being left behind in favor of high definition and blu ray.
Will they make an upscaled blu ray or HDTV edition?
Besides the fact that no hardware is going to replicate from a laserdisc even the level of quality of a interlaced digital master taken from 35mm masters.
The gout is the best star wars will ever look on dvd. Without creating an entirely new high definition master in anamorphic that is restored from vaulted original elements.
Making fixes on the frames that are ruined or overly sharpened or dvnr'ed is the only reason a project like X0 is worth any salt at all.
Working with interlaced analog laserdiscs, in the year 2006,lol. Supposed to represent the original quality of the theatrical releases it is not. Now 2009 going on 2010 and the X0 project site has had no updates since 2005 in the articles section. Almost five or six years the greater part of a decade with not a single piece of video released unless you count the leaked timecode version.
When was the project created in 2003 or 2004?
The Legacy of the originals is destroyed though now because there is no archival prints of the originals to be shown in cinemas in 35mm or 70mm. I would pay good money to see those but Lucash cares not.
And unless you are rich and have your own home theater with the ability to screen movies you like me will never see these films again as they were meant to be seen.
If i was wealthy i would have them in 16mm anamorphic reduction prints in LPP or mylar stock in dolby stereo. It is not legal to own the 70mm 6 track for home exihibition and if it was and i was rich that print in technicolor would be my choice.
