Been waiting for the ROTJ 1997 SE

Want an AVI ?
It's ~1.4GiB with 5.1 AC3, presumed to be an upmix...

 

Just wanted to say a big thanks for uploading this. My VHS tape was worn out and this is probably the closest thing to that so I am very grateful.

Does anyone know if there are any high quality copies of the ESB 1997 SE floating around anywhere? I was so impressed by the Reivax quality and also hearing about the Flunk editions that it made me wonder if ESB 1997 SE is out there, somewhere.

Again, thank you for doing that Darth Mallwalker. :-)

Darth Mallwalker, you seem to have a vast digital library, you don't happen to have "The Dark/Sega Special Collection" LD of Empire to post? Thanks.

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions. 

Sincerely, Lynne Hale publicity@lucasfilm.com

Sure, segaflip sent me those by snail mail. I could post it next week...

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Thanks Darth Mallwalker for your awesome uploads. I was wondering if you would please consider uploading the whole "The Dark/Sega Special Collection", i.e. the missing parts 4 and 6 as well, to make the complete set available. Thanks again, you seem to have a very vast collection of these early preservations which are now so hard to find anywhere.

Yeah, figured I probably would do.
Might post Moth3r's first though, so hold that thought.

I do have a decent collection, but you know the one I regret not grabbing "straight from the horse's mouth" is the "TB" SE'97 set.
I don't need no stinkin' SE is what I thought at the time, and still feel that way to some degree. But so many people have asked for it over the years, and so many had it burned on wonky media, that I've often wished I could help.

Could someone please be kind and repost The Empire Strikes Back '97SE TB-version and perhaps the Gkar-version, these broadcasts are invaluable to possible future restoration efforts of both original and '97SE projects. dark_jedi I'm looking at you or are you afraid it's going to compete with your custom made version. ;) Anyway, it would be great if someone did, many people on this board have been anxious to get them.

Don't you have your hands full with thx at the moment? invaluable to a ESB restoration, what are you doing or is it top secret? and I am not worried about competition, people can make what they want, and share what they want, I have all my favorite versions of the SW Trilogies I will ever need, and when the Blu's come out next October, that will be the frosting on the cake, I just hope they are packaged in a HUGE Millenium Falcon.

Ok, I got what I needed, my friend. That's what I wanted to know. :)

If by assuming you think I won't upload it you are mistaken but you can read into it whatever you want, I have stated to you and others that KEEP asking for these DV broadcasts that I will NOT upload them until I am finished with what I am currently doing, so if that is not soon enough for you then so be it, friend.

funny how people switch faces so fast around here.

Can't imagine how much that would cost...

The boring answer is a "Marker".

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Millennium_Falcon

During the final round of the Cloud City Sabacc Tournament, Calrissian threw in a marker for "any ship on his lot" (at the time, he was the owner of a used spaceship lot on Nar Shaddaa, where the Falcon was parked). Solo, the other contestant remaining in the tournament, accepted the marker, knowing that Calrissian had taken a cruise ship to the tournament and left the Falcon behind. When Solo won the game, he claimed the Falcon as his own on the technicality which had been overlooked by his unlucky opponent.

Could someone upload the best versions of the '97 Special Editions to the server? I can't find any on there.

I think I'll have to agree on that. If you had read my post more carefully, you wouldn't have needed to respond like an asshole.

dark_jedi said:

No, even if I had what does that have to do with anything?

dark_jedi said:

Well, I said it would be invaluable to future restoration projects, not that I'm working on some top secret project.

My statement regarding competition had nothing to do about me working on some top secret thing, it was more of a funny silly question on my part that you would rather wait to post your copy of the broadcast until you're finished with your custom made version so that the TB version not end up competing with it, but I guess you took that as an assault on you.

I actually didn't know that, this is the first time you're telling me that, so thanks for the answer then.

Was actually surprised that no one posted "Wishful Drinking". (Anyone?)

Leave it DJ, it was nearly a month ago and that sort of thing does not belong in this thread. Take it to a PM if you must.

Unrelated to my last implied question / request:

I have no idea who has been posting so prolifically to a.b.sw, but I am hugely grateful for the newspaper strips. They're higher quality than I've ever seen, and it's a joy to be reading through them again.

And Russ Manning's cut week of the Tusken Raider storyline I'd never seen before.

Thank you.

Could someone please upload a Rapidshare of Belbecus' Star Wars 35mm Stereo Mix? thanks.

I shall upload it for you as soon as I can.

The copy I have is the one that was level-reduced to resemble the 1993 mix in average volume.  The first file he uploaded had the peaks at 0 db, but I don't have that version.

While I'm at it, are there any others you don't have yet?  Mono, 1993, 70mm . . . ?

Thanks very much, the one you have will do nicely. I have the Mono, 1993 and 70mm, the only one I'm missing is the Stereo. Thanks again.

Downloading now. Thanks! Oh and by the way, on the 70mm do I need to generate any silence at the beginning to sync with the GOUT ?

Nope.  All my tracks have the appropriate amount of silence added already for GOUT-synch, including the 70mm in stereo and 5.1 forms.
