Oh, wow, I thought from the title that you meant the entire thing! Would've really been amazing timing considering that recent screening in Baltimore.

What for around $80 dollars you got to be kidding.

 

Only the originals from the 70mm six-track Dolby stereo Dolby format 42 will sound better on DVD/Bluray.

Ditto.  You should re-title this thread

This sort of trap in the off-topic forum would be pretty funny.

In this forum, it's just lame.

Your quoting skills need work.

Well the system is pants I couldn’t shift the image down to post the text where it needed to be. Why don’t you phone George Lucas and ask him, if can’t edit it.

Well, our friend here does here does have a point... the default system for this forum can be rather confusing, especially with quotes. Perhaps one day I can make a website SO popular that people use it every day, only it has these problems... and they will be so engrossed with it, they wouldn't notice that I'M TAKING OVER THE WORLD!

I will admit that the editor on this forum is a bit tricky, Brain.  Normally I wouldn't have said anything, but this thread is so ridiculous, I'm just trying to keep it going.

Of COURSE you would never say anything, you imbecile! Now, go back to the Off Topic section while I use the nerdier nerds to TRY TO TAKE OVER THE W- I mean, try to get them to help me inherit the internet.

I'd be very surprised if that gets any bids at that price.

I didn't see that. In any case, it's way overpriced. Anybody considering it should wait until it gets re-listed at a lower price.

But then this thread would be legit, and I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT!!!

I have seen a print in 70mm a single reel go for 300 hundred bucks for jedi.  It was faded, scratched and the audio was out of sync due to the original mag track being warped or shrunk.

Their is a fan out there who once mentioned on some 8mm forum that he has a copy in fair condition of the whole movie and screened it in his own home theater for 70mm. I think he said it was the original and not the even more rare special edition 70mm.  I think there were only like 2 places in the world that had that one place in the USA i think the egyptian theater premiere, and a royal uk premiere.

Someone on ebay sold an empire print that was almost complete 1 reel at a time.  I think the dude was a projectionist at a closed down theater, and they were just going to dumpster or cut up the prints so he rescued them.  Even stored in perfect conditions for over 29 years they faded to pink.  The great Eastman pre LPP stock,lol.

There were alternate audio takes on star wars 77 70mm, and jedi 83 70mm but not different cuts of the film.  Empire 1980 70mm premiere is the rarest because it had alternate audio and was an earlier cut of the film.

Some of that different audio was on the super8mm version of the film and matches up with scenes found on Don Gluts novelization.
