OK, I've got some bad news. I got the scans of the Falcon matte (from a 35mm print) I've been waiting for. Unfortunately, they are very blurry and aren't really an improvement over the GOUT (they are possibly even worse). I'm not sure whether this is due to the print (which is very faded) or due to the way they were scanned (more likely) but there it is.

It's not our last hope though. There might be another. ;-)

But it would still take some time before I can get that. But in the mean-time, I can finish the last few shots and start editing.
