No.

I’m of an uncertain age. Take a guess.

I don’t think any other article has better showcased your work! And considering the heavy use of the ROTJ 2.0 workprint, it probably wasn’t possible until fairly recently…

I thought the same thing when I read it. An excellent article.

The workprint looks great! Although one thing that stands out is that it is noticeable whenever a shot switches to the 35mm source. I think the colors look a tad different when it switches. Will this be corrected in the final 2.0 version?

It will probably stay the same, and be worked on more in the v.2.5 release.

Still, I miss the convenience.

I miss the old internet.

Since this is a workprint, I don’t think many will burn discs for it. I won’t, and I usually do.

One thing I sorely miss from the old site is the ability to very easily send private messages to users. What was once one click under every post is now two or three. I would appreciate the “Send Private Message” link to be returned, if possible.

Thanks!

An announcement that I will now only reply to those who start a private thread/pm with me.

BttF : 10/10
BttF II : 6/10
BttF III : 9/10

I haven’t seen much of BB8 here, but I wouldn’t doubt it eventually. It would be a tremendous improvement over the Minions.

Color shifts and a softer image before optical wipes is perfectly normal. Since the wipes in Jedi were digitally redone, That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Hopefully an expert can shed some light?

first, i know return v2.0 most likely won’t be released before TFA but i was wondering if it was at all possible to get rotj v1.0 posted in the higher quality mkv format like sw v2.5 and empire v2. currently there is just the avchd format (which is still a great option so not complaining) but if it’s not a pain, the higher quality mkv (even just the video with a dolby digital 5.1 mix) would be much appreciated.

I don’t think it’s possible. Either it only exists at that quality, or Harmy doesn’t want to release the old version in a new format right before the new version is ready.

and then second (which would actually negate the first question) i was wondering/hoping if it was at all possible to post the next version of rotj in whatever state it is in now. kinda like a 1.5 before tfa comes out.

I am as ready as the next person for ROTJ, but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. Plus, Harmy has stated there are a few behind-the-scenes stuff going on that’s holding him up. From the previews we’ve seen so far of 2.0, it will be worth the wait.

For all intents and purposes, Revenge of the Sith SHOULD have the better story, since so many important things are supposed to happen in it. However, Attack of the Clones might be better focused on what it’s trying to do.

All 3 of you, check your private messages.

This strikingly matches the Blu-ray colors.

Never mind, issue resolved.

If I was one of those, it wasn’t my intention.

I wrote an essay about this forum. It was difficult without having any access to it.

I was happy to see your return, saddened to hear of complications, and relieved to see you're still okay. We all wish you the best.

Woops, maybe this would be better suited in another part of the forum? I wasn't quite sure where this would fit though...

Hello, some of you might recognize me, most of you probably won’t. I’ve been a lurker here for about a year or two now, following most of your efforts. It’s sort of inspired me to want to go into film preservation/restoration myself.

I realize how important these restoration efforts are, namely what Harmy, Mike Verta, Team Negative1, poita, and others here have accomplished. The restoration of our classics is something I believe we as a culture overlook too often, and don’t think about at all, however you guys realize the importance of it. This is something I’d love to do myself.

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no experience, and have no idea how to get involved. But I’d love to. So, my question would be, how would I go about doing it?

I now have a girlfriend, and she doesn't inflate.

I've been inactive for too long. I'm glad to see this is what I was missing.
