I don't think that would do HD. The outputs mentioned are VHS and DVD.

He does have the other two reels. It's idiotic that it's in two separate auctions that end at the same time. What will anyone do with a single reel and no time to bid on the other two?

Didn't think of that, but it's true.

I read in the savestarwars FAQ that there is indeed 35mm reels of the OT out in the world. Some of them are the very reels shown in theaters. Wouldn’t it be the ultimate preservation to get a hold of a set of these our selves, scan it in 1080p, do some retouching, and release it as the definitive HD theatrical cuts?
I mean, I’m looking at all the work being done here: converting 8mm film, rotoscopes combining the best of the laser disc and SE footage, upscaling, color correction, and even new effects. Why not just go right the source and scan it? I’m assuming this would to the trick as far as scanning and dust/scratch removal. I know it would be a lot of work, but so is all this restoration/upscaling stuff and it just gets out dated quickly.
