I’ve seen this edit quite a few times now, and on the first watch I noticed this, and never bothered to ask. But I thought I would now.

Is this meant to be here, or have I got a botched copy? https://imgur.com/a/xUAFq1V

I’m running the 4k77 2160p DNR v1. acquired from some random site since I don’t have access to the usenet or the spleen.

jedit: if you can’t see what I mean…look at vaders saber. It’s in a few frames.

I’ve never noticed that before! I don’t have 4K77 but can confirm that the lightsaber glitch looks exactly the same in the corresponding frame of Harmy’s Despecialized Edition.

So it’s just meant to be there?

It’s a mistake in the original 1977 special effects; the lightsaber editing was quite sloppy. So yes, it’s supposed to be in 4K77, given that this is a scan of the original film.

Yes, I’m working on that right now actually. It will be a bonus feature with 4K80.

That looks like a two-color print, as opposed to a faded full-color film.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is there much you can do with that sort of film? Reds and skintones should be easy to fix, but either the green or blue is missing or maybe even mixed together?

That’s after some color correction - it is faded to pink:

Oh wow, I didn’t realize. Great job pulling as much of the color back as you did then, kudos!
Such a shame the print was already that far gone; the best looking copy on YT has good colors, but is blurry, has major telecine wobble and is cropped on all four sides compared to yours.
I suppose someone could use DrDre’s tool and use the YT version as a reference, but it would have to be shot-by-shot; doing a quick-and-dirty run now, what fixes one or even multiple shots in your pic messes up others due to the missing color/s.
By the way, was this on multiple reels or was it all taped together?

It came on 2 reels. The telecine wobble is just as bad on our copy too, because that’s how it was printed. I had stabilized the whole film to the sprocket holes, but when I went to watch it the film still wobbled all over the place:

So now I’m going shot by shot, stabilizing to the picture which takes a little longer.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the print we borrowed for scanning was in very good shape. There was a fair amount of warping which made it twist and turn in the film gate, causing distortion and “focus breathing” too, but it’s still fun to watch.
