Max_Rebo's '97 SE superset' preservation (* unfinished project *) — Page 5

Out of sheer curiosity, how do these broadcast versions compare to the US LD set? Have considered obtaining one, but held off in favor of this. Also, does any version feature a DTS track? Heard somewhere that there is a DTS version, and today found a listing on ebay for a DTS CD soundtrack of ANH.

"For an entire generation people have experienced Star Wars the only way it's been possible-on the TV screen. But if you've only seen it this way-you haven't seen it at all..."

Max_Rebo: Thanks for the update! :)

I hope after you release this NTSC DVD set that you will consider going back to your prepared pre-DVD source files (just before you encoded them for NTSC DVD) and color correcting them back to the GOUT's more correct original colors and releasing a set like that (no other changes, just the color correction). :) This way we can also have a Star Wars SE set with the very nice overall image quality of the SE's, but with the more correct colors from the GOUT. :) Even if the GOUT isn't perfect in this regard, it's far more accurate (especially in certain scenes, as we've seen from the screenshots) than the SE and the best non-SE source we have available.

It would be great to have a choice to watch the Star Wars trilogy SE version as it was broadcast or watch the SE with the original non-SE colors restored. :) Also, I'm not sure if anyone has ever color-corrected the SE before, so it might be a first ever achieved by a fan project. :)

Ah huh....yes. 

ObiRobKenobi2 is correct. His comment was inferring that they need to re-release Star Wars again to the theaters. And yes we could all use a healthy dose of theater Star Wars goodness right about now.

"see it again...for the first time." Just as long as the 04's aren't theatrically released!!

captainsolo: I have to agree, I will not go to the theater to watch the horrid 2004 even-more-SE, those absurd changes are not legitimate. I saw them once on my DVD set, and that was more than enough to know how disgusting they are.

Now, the unaltered Star Wars trilogy? I'm there opening day!! :) I'd even go to see the regular 1997 SE, but not that 2004 offense.

Any updates?

At all?

Thanks for the update-glad to see that this is still ongoing. Was in the process of doing a vhs conversion and that hasn't gone so well.....plus I'm tired of listening to the 2.0 downconverted mix.

Hopefully something will come up soon.

Anyone with the G'kar set willing to help a fellow fan out PM me.

I had that set but traded it away, and now i'm kicking myself for doing so since i can't find a good quality source of the 1997 theatrical releases.

Yes i know they are in PAL.  But my new cheapo dvd player can play then on my ntsc tv.

Same here. Like skyjedi I wish there was a good quality 97SE source to work with. It seems to be the one version that gets virtually ignored by the general public. They think the 97 and 04 are the same. While waiting for MaxRebo's and DarkJedi's versions if anyone has the TB or G'kar editions please PM.

Dark Jedi, do you need the g'kar versions?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see you already have them.

Man, the Reivax set has nice menus!

Is it worth tracking down the gkar or the revivax? Just finished a VHS conversion of ANH and boy does it suck..
