IIRC the issue people care about most with the theatrical Blu-rays is slightly lower detail that the EE's, but I'm not sure it's at all clear that projection prints like these would provide noticeably more detail--perhaps even less.

It's not about detail as much as colors. 35mm scan would be 100% theatrically accurate, no fade. I'm not sure how hard would it be to correct BD, but the scan itself would be very watchable.

$1800 is an amazing price for the whole trilogy. It's only a bit more than the amount raised for a certain 16mm movie a month ago. One, faded movie.

I really hope there will be enough interest to secure this. I'm a little concerned about shipping costs though...
