I've been working on a 4K restoration of Star Wars from a number of 16-bit 4K Technicolor film scans for many years.  There is a Vimeo channel for it with lots of before/afters, and comparisons with the current incarnation and clips from Reliance MediaWorks showreel, etc.  I've been fortunate to have several members of the original VFX crew consulting.  If you'd like to check it out, here is the link:

Kennedy said Base FX is expected to play a role in future Lucasfilm productions, among them the three upcoming installments of the Star Wars franchise. “The Star Wars universe is full of technological and cutting-edge effects, which Base FX will be a wonderful partner to create with,” she said at the ceremony.

 and I don’t want to see what I’m able to do now, which is add more characters and do all kinds of things that nobody even contemplated before.

 

WTF? He doesn't want to see other people do what he's done to the original films, he's nuts!!!

Tidbits and “But I saw it at Comic-Con…”

I reported earlier that the “Humdinger Glitch” has been fixed.  There have been a lot of people inquiring as it was in the footage that was seen at Comic-Con.  I was told that someone from Lucasfilm overheard an attendee at Comic-Con comment after seeing the footage that “the glitch is still there”.  They tracked it down and had it fixed.  It was one of the last if not THE last change made prior to the discs being locked down for final release.

Ok I've been reading your discussions with kenkraly2007 for months. It seems none of you are getting it. The guy is slower than the average person, sort of a more high functioning Forest Gump. Just listen to his tone. He's like a little boy. It's like talking to a special person, someone with the intelligence around the age of 4-7. Most people that come across these type of people are more compassionate and tolerant. Treat him more respectfully now knowing how he is. I know your are all mature and smart enough to handle him now appropriately. Unless some of you now will just get a thrill by bullying him.

Note: I am not going to argue with ANYONE about the prequels today, on MAY THE 4TH I MIGHT ADD, or on any other day for that matter. The prequels have been made. They exist. There is literally nothing you can do or say to make them go away. They may not be your cup of tea, but let's remember: YOU can choose not to watch them! You can pretend like they don't even exist! But being angry about it forever is going to accomplish nothing. Neither is being disrespectful. My father has done absolutely nothing to earn disrespectful tirades and personal attacks. He is a good man. He is not an evil genius plotting to ruin your life. You are entitled to your own opinions--whatever they may be, but be respectful about it. He may have made three movies you personally didn't care about, but he was also responsible for three movies that inspired you and millions of others. So, do him and I the courtesy of having a little goddamn respect.
