Wow. I have very vague recollections of seeing this in the 80’s. For some reason, it just popped into my head a few months ago, but all I could really remember was the cheeky jeans and a few zany moments. (A scene involving a dumpster sticks out in my mind.) I couldn’t remember the title or the cast, though it felt like it was always on the tip of my tongue. It drove me crazy for weeks trying to ID it before I was able to “let go.” Then just a few minutes ago I was at the fan project list (which I just discovered, I didn’t know about it, despite it being linked from the front page, which I had never bothered to read), and when I saw the title I immediately recognized it. Imagine my surprise!
Thanks for bringing this movie back to life, Doc and suntech. I’m downloading it as I type this post, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it, and to sharing it with my girlfriend, who loves this kind of stuff.
Time is running out for the Rebels. Antilles upcourt to Skywalker. He’s being paced by Darth Va— the bone-jarring pick by Solo! He came out of nowhere! Skywalker’s open from way outside, he launches at the buzzer... Good! It’s good! The Rebels win on a sensational buzzer beater by Luke Skywalker! Let’s take another look at that last shot. He just does get it off in time. Wow, what a shot. That’s why they call him Luke Legend.
That may be the most exciting battle I have ever been privileged to broadcast. Certainly the most dramatic finish. We’ll get you an update on the Artoo Detoo injury situation in just a moment. Right now let’s go courtside where SuperShadow is waiting with Chewbacca.

I forgot to post this before, but So Fine was recently added to the Warner Archive. I can't vouch for the quality. I'm told the discs in this collection tend to be 29.97i, but it seems to be anamorphic.
The low bitrate, low resolution flash video 'sample', available on Warner's site looks like this might be an improvement on the preservation. I just have a difficult time paying full price for a barebones disc that is dumped on the market.

Really, the WA is a great idea, but these movies should be half the price.
It would be appreciated for anyone who picks this up to comment on it on this thread.

Given the information the posted on the site, compared to the other Warner Archives I have and the information posted on the site about them, I would say it is anamorphic and interlaced.
That being said, using a decent standalone with a good hardware deinterlacer, the output video quality should be pretty good, but I cant say for sure as I dont have the DVD.
I would also like anyone who has this DVD to comment on the quality

As far as I know, only the first batch or two of the Warner Archive titles were interlaced.
Quality on the official So Fine DVD is pretty darn good to my eye, and it is anamorphic OAR and progressive. I can throw up a few png's if anyone cares.
As much as I hate to retire the Laserdisc preservation which came out fantastically, I do like the new disc!

Any chance you could post a clip?

Bit of a pulsing grain structure that you don't find on normal retail discs, but still very watchable.

There is some interesting colors noise in the grain as well, but still the picture is sharper and a bit cleaner.
Thanks for the clip.
