OSI Osgood from the 8mm Forum is selling a Cineavision scope 8mm print of Empire on eBay, with a starting price of $1,200. Unlike the SW one, this has no reserve, and a Buy It Now option - for $1,850.

I was intrigued about the "dialogue differences," but then this quote gave me pause:

"In every other version I have seen, (even the super 8 digest versions of this), Yoda gives out a yell before saying, "Away with your weapon, I mean you no harm."  There is no yell in this at all from Yoda, and I think it's much more appropriate for a Jedi Master, to not yell out like that, he's a Jedi master, after all!"

The yell is the alternate version; in fact, since it wasn't in morgands1's in-theater 70mm recording, I don't think any original release of the complete film had it. Now I'm wondering if it's just a mono fold-down of the regular 35mm stereo mix...

OSI already tried to sell it once and there were no takers. It's not as important as the first film, since this project already has a print with intact color, but still...anybody with really deep pockets want this?
