So I’ve been trying to find good transfers of the Japanese “Special Collection” or Fox’s “Special Wide Screen Edition” LDs for a while now, but I’m not having much luck finding information on these…seems like almost all of the LD transfers out there are from the 93/95 THX remasters.
I found this thread on Dark_Jedi’s attempts to redo the JSCs, but apparently he cancelled them in light of Arnie.d’s X9 project…which hasn’t had an update since October '09 =/ The LaserDisc Revived project sounds very promising, but it also sounds like it’s going to be a bit of a wait for that one, and I was hoping there was something out already that I could watch within the next few weeks. I did find Arnie.d’s V8 and it looks excellent, but from what I can tell it’s only Episode IV.
Or should I just give up and buy the '92 “Special Letterbox Collector’s Edition” VHSes? I’d rather have something I can pop into the big screen and enjoy, but I keep seeing mint copies of these ending at 0 bids for dirt cheap…
