Lddb.com says that the shrinking aspect ratio was only in the US releases and not the JSC.

The Sleeping Beauty Widescreen LD has the original 70mm six-track audio as an AC3 track.

1917 would mean public domain in both the US and Europe.

Didn’t Poita scan 35mm copies of the full 97SE Trilogy?

Any updates on Empire and Jedi (9000 Series)?

On Laserdisc.

West Side Story is a transfer of the original 70mm six-track audio mix.

As for the movie I want to see in UAR, Terminator 2 would be the number one pick.

Has there been any more progress?

Are there plans for a German Phantom Menace? That I’d be interested in.

Needless to say, Han is going to shoot first in these editions.

Leave Empire Strikes Back completely identical to Harmy’s then I’d be fine.

Watched Clone Wars at the South Side Works. I then saw Force Awakens, Rogue One and The Last Jedi at the Manor Theater (a cool 1930s-era cinema).

As for catching up in time for Solo

Rogue One (Blu-Ray)
Star Wars (THX Laserdisc)
Holiday Special (Nostalgia Critic review)
The Empire Strikes Back (THX Laserdisc)
Cloak of Deception
The Approaching Storm
Labyrinth of Evil
Return of the Jedi (THX Laserdisc)
The Force Awakens (Blu-Ray)
The Last Jedi (4K Ultra HD)

I’d be interested in Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I’d love to see the Jerjerrod scenes restored. I thought that they added characterization.

I’d like the second one the most.

Good job with the testclip. Can you make a version without the opening crawl?

The regrade looks great.

HDTV

That’s what I thought.

I’m guessing we’re seeing more vertical info in the 1.78:1 hdtv version because the blu-ray was probably cropped on all four sides (in order to keep the aspect ratio at 2.40:1 without resizing/scaling the pixels down to 3840:1600 / 1920:800 from 4096:1706 / 2048:853) whereas the hdtv version simply crops off the sides to get the picture from 4096:1706 / 2048:853 to 3036:1706 / 1518:853. Hence we’re getting the full vertical information in the 1.78:1 version.

Has anyone done a similar comparison between the blu-ray and hdtv versions of TFA aside from the imax scene?

Force Awakens was filmed in anamorphic Panavision, thus the HDTV is pure pan and scan.

Any screenshots of Jedha, Eadu or Scarif?

I thought it would be nice to mention the biographical novel Phasma, which shows the eponymous character as a coward who doomed Starkiller Base to save herself.

I saw Eps 2 and 3 on opening night, and I honestly couldn’t tell you a single one of the trailers =) Even hearing you guys list some of them, none of it’s ringing any bells.

I want to say that maybe there was a LotR trailer, but I’m sure it was the other way around (Star Wars trailer before LotR).

Attack of the Clones had a preview for Two Towers.

This one claims to work on Xbox One, a player that blocks BD-R. If this is true, then somewhere in China these discs are being mass-produced.

Yes. Maybe I could record this to VHS.
