Depends on the employee.

These look like the same elements that were available several months ago - I tried color correcting the rebel cruiser window image for sure.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I just checked the completed items and it seems like he has a lot of the same elements. Not sure how that happens.

Was there another thread for this?

Why shouldn't it be legal? I mean I'm not expert in American laws but if he obtained the material legally doesn't he have the right to sell it? I mean it's not like selling bootlegs or pirate copies of movies, or is it?

Maybe this is why there's always a "copyright such and such studio" watermark over those animatics you see in BTS stuff for movies these days.

It's a shame those reels were sliced up.

It's bad enough when it's a theatrical print but special effects reels?

Some of that stuff has got to be unique and now it's a framable curio. Modern life suxs ballz.

Going by one of the auction descriptions, these are scraps saved from the cutting room floor. They were chopped long ago. I doubt any ILM employee could walk out the door with entire reels.

Where were you in '77?

Well I'm still going to be pointlessly and furiously anti-future, pro-past and meh-present just for the lulz. Grrrrrrrr
