Anctu-

Maybe they are like M.V. and will never release it? Or maybe they just like taking pictures of prints they buy. I have been going through the forums and wow this has been going on for a long time. It's either fake or these guys have real, real dedication. I applaud them. If it comes out I'm sure it will be awesome.

Before on the blog, they would have videos showing different parts of their project. There was the opening credits, the entrance to Mos Eisley, etc. they had a counter of how much footage per reel they had cleaned up. This is far from being 1) a hoax and 2) a private venture a la Mike Verta.

It's taken such a 'long' time because the project evolved from a 'oh wouldn't it be nice...' To 'oh I have a couple of prints, but they're faded and / or warped' to 'how the hell are we going to transfer these prints?' (There was no way in hell a professional house would touch it) To 'oh we hand built a machine to help us transfer all of this footage' etc etc. it went from a dream to a reality and this takes time logistically to figure out all of this stuff.
