Poita, you da man. That sample is downright inspiring. I am so happy that we all came together and made this thing happen!

That’s impossible, even for a computer.

Oh wow, it’s quite sad how little detail is gained by going from the DVD to the Bluray… Seeing as Techniscope is essentially the same negative space as laying two 16mm frames side to side, they must have erased a lot of the grain and hence the detail.

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

This is a LucasFilm production and we can see how poorly they do things. Don’t blame the film. This Blu-ray shot, at Caps-a-holic shows they blurred the spacing between the overhead lights so much (both same edition of the DVD and Blu-ray) that even the old laserdisc resolves better . .

I finally watched the clip, Poita. It’s brilliant! For taking care of this, I love you nearly as much as I love the film! ;D

The second half of the film should be scanned soon (if it hasn’t been already). I’ve updated the list of benefactors with a new entry. Any newcomer that just found out about this project, please do consider donating something to cover for Poita’s expenses, he’s the one now making the magic happen.

Haha no worries 😃 I’m just glad the scan is happening. Eventually, it’ll be the copy I watch for my first ever viewing of the film. I’m waiting until then to watch it.

Me too, come to that… for me, it’s either the original version or nothing!

Is yours Luke? I think it is, but I’m just not 100% sure.

So we’ve got the protagonists from the two best trilogies in movie history? Awesome.

Both have strange romantic involvements with immediate family members.

Wow! You’ve found it!! The legendary print that resulted when George Lucas, carrying his Star Wars reels, turned a corner and collided with Robert Zemeckis, carrying his Back To The Future reels! And the color looks amazing!
