The difference between Lucas and Mverta, MeBeJedi and Zion isn't much. They all want new fresh digital effects
Okay - this statement needs to be addressed.
Mverta - is said to be adding NEW colors and has even added new special effects like the Starscape and such.
- I agree with you DanielB - THIS IS NOT a Preservation BUT a SPECIAL EDITION regardless of what Mverta says he's added to the film by adding these new colors on the Tantive and creating an ALL NEW starscape.
MeBeJedi - is actually only fixing MINOR things like the lightsaber errors, fixing colors and removing dust and hair marks.
- I don't think that he's once mentioned that he is adding any "new effects" or even RECREATING scenes so this is as CLOSE as me might get to a restoration.
Laserman - ????
- I really have not been keeping up with this set SO I HAVE NO IDEA what's going on with this set. (that and you did not mention it so maybe it's just a transfer?)
Zion - ????
- I've also not been keeping up with this set as I loaned him my Faces STAR WARS laserdisc to him to help with his transfer - I figure once he's done I'll get my LD back and his transfer so I was kinda hoping that it will be a surprise
Daniel - LET them play with the films if they wish (I think that's why it's called "The MeBeJedi set" and the "Zion Project") BUT if it really really upsets or angers you; then you should maybe consider NOT reading their threads, responding in their threads or maybe consider leaving the forum. (this is the internet why let it make you mad??) - IF it really means that much you can also start your own forums.
AND to everyone that seems to have some static with Daniel - JUST IGNORE HIM please stop feeding his anger by responding to his posts (and you know who you are
)The point here is....
WE already have some real nice versions of the OT preserved in these sets - "The Dr. Gonzo", "The Rowman/TR47", "The ISOMIX", "The Farsight" and at least 3 different Asian bootleg sets. ALL of these sets are copies of the ORIGINAL, UNALTERED, NON-SPECIAL EDITIONS form the Laserdiscs - all on DVD right now. Really HOW many more do we need? (I'm running out of harddrives!)
