- Can you recreate the 70mm version of ESB?
Frankly, I would love this too. But there are some obstacles: 1) AFAIK we don’t have a single source with an exhaustive list of visual changes between the 35mm and 70mm cuts, 2) We have exactly one 70mm source, which is better than zero, but it means we’re sort of stuck with any quality/blending issues that may bring, and 3) Despecialized tends to pair with hairy_hen’s audio, and right now there’s no English audio at all that would sync to a frame-complete version of the 70mm cut, let alone anything that would measure up to hairy_hen’s standards.
Again, I’m all in on this as a wishlist item too. I’d love it. But I suspect if we haven’t seen a Despecialized 1981 cut of Star Wars, which would be a considerably easier undertaking measured by all three points above, then we’re not likely to see the ESB 70mm cut until after that.
