Derann never released ESB on Super8, no-one did.
The condition is pretty good, not quite as good as a derann release but it has really good colour on the first couple of reels and great colour on the last reels.
Considerably better than the Cineavision of Star Wars for example.
It used to only be available on slightly yellowing film stock, but is now available on brand new poly stock so should have better colour. It is taken from a foreign negative, so the crawl is not in English, but the audio is English or German depending on the print. Both are from the same source.
Do you happen to know if the super 8 prints of ESB uses the 35mm cut version of the film throughout in terms of film elements? I guess they do but it would be damn cool if they somehow was sourced from the 70mm cut film material such as the one from Ken Films with select material.
