I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to fruition. I’ve watched a few scenes from it now and am going to burn it to a bluray later, and watch it on my Epsom projector on a 110" screen later - heaven! From what I’ve seen it looks beautiful - love seeing that grain intact, instead of the digitally scrubbed, fake grain added back afterwards look of the blurays. It’s surprising how much difference it makes. One can relax into the film more without the unnatural ‘sheen’ caused by digitally added grain and excessive use of the sharpening tools. The colours look so much better too, though I think they’re possibly just a little washed out looking (looks like the GOUT colours were used as a reference?). Easy to bump the colour up a notch or two when watching anyway. Overall it looks bloody marvellous - the work that’s gone into this is astonishing, and the end result is a miracle! The importance of this release cannot be over-stated: Star Wars '77 is truly back. Thank you so much 😃
