Hi all,

A company by the name of Lowry Digital who were responsible for the blu-ray transfers for the James Bond films, run the films through a digital film scanner that runs at a cost of about $300,000. They have over 700 terabytes of local storage and huge server farms. Not to mention the team that tackles all the footage once it has finished. I don't have much detail on how Star Wars was restored but I doubt it was anything less than this.

Looking forward to it.

Welcome!

What's really impressive is how Lowry manages to have the output they sometimes have with such incredible resources. I watched their "Thunderball" blu-ray recently. Man, what an inconsistent restoration.
