you can really tell how cropped the GOUT really is.
looking for HDTV of the Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Also HDTV of The Lord of the Rings trilogy
the end scene looks great! It's so much more vibrant than the gout :)
That. Looks. FANTASTIC.

So excited for this, thank you for the countless hours of hard work that must have already gone into this.

To be fair, SW would have been cropped at the cinema as well, the film frame holds more information than is meant to be seen.

Help get The Original Trilogy preserved!
Just to let people know. We are still working on this. No major updates, just going through the reels as usual.
We did get a new LED for the Dolby unit, which had issues before, and has been replaced. So we can do sound decoding properly. We'll try to post some samples for you.

thanks. Good to hear :)
Of the 4 picture comparison sample earlier, the JSC I think nails it overall. I love that disc.

Just as a better comparison, here is the Raw LPP vs GOUT for the intro, and flyover again.

Its interesting to watch the movie synced up, and see where the edits line up, and the framing of the picture.

This just goes to show how badly that IP sucked the life out of the picture. It is drab and dull compared to the print source, and further reiterates my point of not being able to always go by an IP or negative source for proper coloring. You can tell that George had the look of the release prints in mind when the 2004 master was made, but that the wrong methods were used to obtain a horrendous re-approximation of that look.
Audio samples would be great! Thanks for the update.

Interesting to see discussion of restoring Star Wars:
And that is why the team negative1 project is so important.
I agree.
Thanks for sharing the links. The first one is very interesting to read. I think it's a good analasys of the situation regarding the unaltered movies. That's another reason why I fully support Team_Negative1's efforts to restore the unaltered movies.
Here is a sample recording from our system with the Dolby SR format.
This is the German Star Wars SE trailers, raw without any noise cleanup,
as a 320kbps MP3:

That's raw?? Sounds like it's already in pretty good shape, especially given it's been 18 years or so since these were screened.
Impressed with the stereo separation-- are these dubs of existing US trailers? I've never heard these specifically.

Yes, the German trailers are identical to the US ones, except for German titles of course (even the 3D rendered titles were translated).
I'm working on a preservation project of these myself right now.
There's been more interest in this project since the articles out there.
We have enabled download of the original trailer:
