Well, I think I may one day try my hand at really fixing up the whole thing. It will probably be a while, though. I didn't realize how much good footage is actually available on the DVD at preserv.22web.net. While the full ride is the same crappy yellow footage, only crappier, there are shots on the B-roll and a couple of other things that would be far easier to fix up.

Plus, I should give credit where credit is due...the DVD the guy sent me, while still being yellow footage, is definitely the highest resolution of the yellow footage I've found, and thus a color correction would go far. So one day the whole thing can probably be preserved at a decent quality.

Ron, I agree, we can just use it in a cockpit. And since the footage will be sped up anyway, I doubt it would be terribly noticeable that the detail is lower.

I know I've been really stuck on this, but there is good reason: Whatever we add to the ROTJ edit will largely be CGI or Johannus's models from a distance. Star Tours offers a chance to get us close to the Death Star with actual model footage. It's new, but it would better match ROTJ than probably anything we could contstruct. And from the B-roll I think we can get two decent shots that would add a uniqueness to our edit. I'll upload them when I get the chance. Busy day ahead with work and all.
