No, this is not a commercially available Laserdisc. You know how nowadays filmmakers scan their film into a computer (if they shot on film), so they can edit on the computer without cutting the original film apart? LFL was trying to do that before it was cool. What they did was scan all of the film they shot onto separate Laserdiscs so they could figure out which parts of which takes to use from the discs, then record the timecodes so they could go back to the film to grab only the frames they needed. Remember, this was before hard drives could hold more than 20 seconds of video.brimforge said:
so is this "cut content" on every laserdisc ?
I ask, because some time ago I could have bought the saga on laserdisc at a fleamarket :-/
my only problem would be: I don't have a player to watch/copy it ...
What was for sale was one of these discs. I'm not sure LFL actually used it for the actual editing of RotJ or just to demo the system they were trying to sell, but either way its raw, unedited footage from RotJ.
