First off if this has been done before go ahead and shoot me down now so I don’t waste my time. I’ve looked around and I can’t find any ongoing or completed projects, but if I can be proven wrong I’ll be happy to be.
P&S/FS has a pretty bad rep for being, well, destructive, but all the same it’s the way I and many other people grew up watching the films. The prequels don’t get a whole lot of attention when it comes to preservation material, and they’re usually the subject of more fanedits, so I feel if I’m going to undertake this task I’d like to start with Episode I - III.
The aim is to recreate/preserve the official Full-Screen releases of the prequel trilogy (I may move on to the OT later) in the highest quality possible, to match the original representation of the release.
For convenience sake I’ll be recreating the DVD versions, not the VHS.
The Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith VHS Fullscreen releases are almost identical to the DVD ones in every way, but The Phantom Menace has discrepancies, so 2 - 1 majority rules: DVD it is.
The six films will never, ever be officially released in FS form ever again, and I feel it’s something worth holding onto, even if not many others do.
I already have the official VHS’, VCD’s, LD’s, DVDs, Blu-Rays; everything (and many of them), but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for HDTV rips or other sources I could use. I can’t use the BD sources much, if at all, because of how many altercations Lucas made between them and the DVD releases.
Quick note, obviously I mean P&S HDTV sources if possible, but HDTV sources of the Widescreen DVD releases are welcome also.
They played the P&S HDTV versions of the original DVDs in my country recently but I stupidly forgot to record them.
