4K restoration on Star Wars

Also I want to point out something that was posted on Home Theater Forum:

Apparently, Pablo Hidalgo posted on twitter that the 4k print of Star Wars seen by Gareth Edwards was in fact…

…the Special Edition.

Alderaan said:

There is no 4k scan of the OOT, and none is being worked on right now.

Keep in mind that it was probably around three years ago that he watched the 4K transfer of the SE, and that an SE restoration and an OOT restoration are not mutually exclusive.

At this point I'd doubt UHD Blu Ray is being targeted toward most consumers anyway. It could quite easily become a niche videophile format like Laserdisc was, with distributors putting out expensive collectors editions and the like.

Also Blu Ray hasn't (and never will) become the mainstream video format of choice, but it hasn't "spectacularly failed" either.

God I hope that's not what plays before TFA. Awkwardly truncated Williams music would be a rough opening.

 It sounded like it was supposed to have something lead into it. Maybe something accompanying a Disney logo?

 It was supposed to have the entire ESB credits lead into it.

Yes I know that it's from TESB.

Snowpiercer (2013)

This was pretty fantastic.  Leaving aside the general WTF of the plot device (a train that can circle the globe endlessly for years and years strikes me as fairly unlikely), this movie was great fun.

7 protein blocks out of 8.

The tail section's reactions to seeing what goes in those blocks was pretty odd. I'd probably give one a try.

Interstellar

Good film but I pretty much spent the entire time regretting the fact I wasn't seeing it on IMAX 70mm. Didn't help that the projector wasn't focused. :(

tb versions?

 They're DVB recordings off of some European channel. They're in PAL, but they're digital, which is rare for the '97 SE. They look pretty good. Around 4gigs per film.

Does anyone know if any of these recordings are on usenet? I thought that the Flunk one was (as "Flunk Repack") but I haven't been able to find it, let alone the others.
