After anonymously reading the forum the last few weeks I finally decided to create an account and applaud you for the effort in bringing Star Wars back to the fans in hi def. I read that ESB is already preserved, is there another site or index where we can follow the progress, if any, involved in that film?
Can you call this a preservation? I think this is great but a real preservation needs to be made. I guess we will not see that until Mr. Lucas passes away though.
Taking a photo right off the film with the lcd light sounds smart. It would probably avoid losing quality over projecting the film onto ground glass like a real optical printer would. This should produce some interesting results but nothing like a real preservation. Especially since the source materials have to be a mess. This is a slight step above the 16mm work being done.
