Multiplayer-only games have no appeal to me. I prefer single player offline games.
Are there any samples to share?
I mostly use the Faces version on Laserdisc, Widescreen VHS and GOUT DVD, with the occasional ESB:Revisited watch.
Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition Laserdisc (4102985 and PILF-2860) contains the 1997 Jabba scene which was redone in all Special Edition DVDs and Later. Also, the Victory Celebration scene contains a shot of Coruscant without the Jedi Temple which was added for the DVD.
Most of the really awful changes to ESB and ROTJ were made after 1997.
Is it possible to have a version with the 1981 crawl?
Here is an unused take from Revisited showing Jar-Jar on Alderaan when it explodes.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to get the voice lines from the game without background music or SFX?
Insert the PS2 disc into your PC disc drive, then extract the audio samples from the disc’s data.
HAL did this in his edit of ROTS.
I finalized what copies of the films I’m keeping, which is everything in the photo. I decided to be rid of the Prequels, Special Editions and Ewok films. I don’t plan on buying any further Star Wars videos, ever.
Do you plan to use the forming the Rebellion scenes for ROTS? I felt they made a huge improvement to ROTS.
Added War of the Worlds (Criterion Blu-Ray) and my first Indicator discs, Charley Varrick, 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Golden Voyage of Sinbad.
Using the ROTJ Grindhouse as a base would result in similar quality for the film and deleted scenes.
Do you plan on reinstating Sebastian Shaw in ROTJ?
It’s been six years since HAL wowed us when he used Boleyn footage to show Padme surviving.
I think it would be easy to sync the Japanese 97SE LD subs for Empire.
The CG Jabba the Hutt from the 1997 Special Edition of A New Hope (exclusive to VHS and Laserdisc) was redone in all versions from 2004 on.
Also, the Victory Celebration scene in the 2004SE updated Coruscant to be more consistent with the prequel version.
Alexander Nevsky is an inversion with an awful original mono mix and a superior stereo remix exclusive to Laserdisc. In the stereo LD, the music is rerecorded by Yuri Temirkanov and sounds much more fluid than the mono.
Adywan will cook up something in his HD ANH:R.
I like the idea of blending Kijimi and Alderaan’s explosions to remove the shock wave.
I am glad to see more obscure cuts of films get preserved.
Do you also plan on scanning a 1985 LPP Irwin Kostal version if you find one?
Do you have any plans to include a 16mm version of Vivian Kubrick’s Making the Shining?
Sometimes it is nice to watch an unrestored film print on VHS or Laserdisc. I actually prefer the unrestored Dye-Transfer Technicolor look of the 1985 Laserdisc of Pinocchio to the modern Disney+ DNR heavy version of the film.
