Just because it's film doesn't make it a holy grail of quality. So people have to remember that the puggo 16mm projects are an interesting, and I find, highly enjoyable project. But if you're looking for a pristine copy of the OT... Get harmy's despecialized or Dj's gout project.
I understand that a 16mm print is not the best.
But is it not better then 8mm?
We all know the best thing would be a scan of a 35mm or 70mm print.
But even it we had a 35mm or 70mm print.
We do not have a scanner for it.
But there is a better chance of finding an HD,
16mm or 8mm film scanner that is privately owned by some one that could scan it and “ avoid any Empyreal entanglements”.
I know the 16 and 8 mm prints would be littered with dust and scratches. But this could be cleaned up in a computer.
Of course doing this for the hole 3 movies may seem like to much work, it could still be used in part for projects like Harmy's Despecialized Edition . For ROTJ It could be use to get an HD copy of Lapti Nek.
