Currently, the plans and workflow only allow so many projects to be worked on. Ultimately, there will be at least 2 main versions of each film released.
1 Star Wars LPP with Eastman replacements, this is the first priority.
The rest of the projects will be in parallel.
2 Empire Strikes Back - Sanitized - [Eastman-Fuji hybrid]
3 Star Wars [Eastman]
4 Return of the Jedi [LPP Hybrid]
5 Empire Strikes Back [Fuji]
6 Return of the Jedi [Eastman]And then the SE, and the Prequels.
So there’s a lot to look forward to next year and beyond.
Team Negative1
… I think 35mm scans of AotC and RotS would be far easier to bring in line with the OT than the pristine Digital sources we have.
Now that Team Negative One is no more, I think we should, at least, consider the possibility of using a scan of this film’s 35mm print to the project.
