I just bought one of those super8 StarWars reels on eBay. Having recently produced the Puggo Edition from Boba Feta’s reels, there’s nothing particularly interesting about that, except that these supposedly were “augmented” by super-8 footage made by the original owner, off of the TV. If they turn out to contain the rare TV airing of the missed grappler throw, or Vader hitting his head on the door, or Greedo shooting 3rd, I’ll be sure and let y’all know FWIW, it’s item #300107526524.

Those would be awesome finds, indeed.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but anyone know anything about these 70mm film cell sets? On the face of it, this seems like a cool thing. These would probably be great shots to scan in.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

"the rare TV airing of the missed grappler throw"- myth

"Vader hitting his head on the door, or Greedo shooting 3rd"- never heard of these.

You do know that he's joking don't you?

It's probably just "augmented" with the ad breaks.

I know that the X0 team has been using them for color reference.

I've been collecting them since they came out in 1995. They are one of the coolest pre-SE collector's items ever made, IMO. I have some from each film- mostly from SW, quite a few from ESB and only several of them from ROTJ which didn't seem to have as long of a run. The packaging differed for each film. The ROTJ ones came in nice stand-up display boxes. I have close to 100 altogether, mostly obtained from eBay, and I once bought a set of them from a former Lucasfilm employee. Ebay is tricky because the sellers don't always attempt to photograph the cel itself (or will use a stock photo), and you end up buying 'mystery' cels which you may or may not end up liking. I'm pretty picky, so I prefer to buy cels from sellers who put good clear photos up.
