Oh yeah, I love those. It was a really great series up until the end when Archie Goodwin left. Then toward the release of ROTJ it just got horrible.

Agree.

Well, from those screen captures I think it's pretty safe to say that the sun shot should be reddish and GOUT is perhaps "corrected" to what we see with Luke? Then the Luke shots are pretty much everywhere but I guess they should be more pinkish/reddish than blueish?

Has Wookiee always been with two 'e's?

Here's something I made for myself (since it's not in English, sorry), it's a complete replica of the first original VHS cover from 1985. Hope you enjoy it.

Wow, that's beautiful. If it's in the UK I wish someone there could get this thing transferred. :)

Were there Y-Wings in RotJ?  Funny you should bring it up since I was trying to remember that yesterday...

Yes, one crashes to an ISD.

 wasn't that an A-wing?

I meant the guy who yells "I'm hit!". For example.

So is the 5.1 Empire mix only going to have one change during Fett's escape? If that's the case, I'd reconsider it and make a "theatrical" 5.1 mix leaving that out, then. :) I know the music isn't cut well but I could live without it better than just having that one in there. :P

Could you upload a corrected version, this one has like 10 spelling mistakes in it. :P

1. He could have but the set was already build and it would be much more interesting as a movie than seeing them in some conference room.

2. Well, they could have been there even a few days... If Luke was on Dagobah for a couple of weeks, then maybe they were like 2 days on the asteroid fixing and hiding, then maybe a few days travelling to Bespin and then like a week or so on Cloud City.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks (again :P)! No need for that, just needed the name and downloaded them.

Does anyone know what font were used for ie. TESB A and B style posters for the credits? I almost had one but few letters were different. Would help on my cover project.

the others are transitional elements from Dagobah to the Imperial fleet, the first after the cave scene and the second after the X-wing is raised from the swamp.  Both are unique statements of the Imperial march, rather than crudely splicing in bits of the concert version.  There are a couple other small musical editing differences also, but I'm not changing them since they aren't nearly as noticeable as these.

Oh yeah, now that you mention I do remember them.

What are those bad edits you've fixed? I'm no expert so I haven't heard any problems. The only one I know which the SE actually made better was the restored score when Slave I leaves Cloud City.

And I agree, I think the Obi-Wan/Luke scene feels that it's definately missing something when you watch it... I wouldn't change anything, though, since I don't like changes and am more like a preservation liking guy but I'm just saying. Although I don't remember the score for it right now, I'll have to listen the soundtrack at some point.

I'll give you credit hairy_hen, it seems that you may know something about these things. :P

I've been watching this project with great interest and this really is an important one. Maybe this is the final project that ever needs to be done on DVD. So kudos to all of you.

Just wondering, what are the music edited TESB and ROTJ mixes by hairy hen? Additional music to the movies or just some remixing? I hope there would be some kind of "original" 5.1 mix in them, too, if they aren't.

Does anyone have this logo in good quality?

The dubbing is pretty funny. When Luke ask 3PO to tell him about the rebelion, 3PO says something like: "I'm not very good at telling stories, I don't know how to put them, I'm not Spielberg."

Are you serious! If you are, that is priceless! :)

LOL!

I also have the SEs recorded on VHS, I haven't watched them in a long time, though. Too bad we didn't have a hard drive digibox at that time, the subtitles weren't burnt in and they were anamorphic of course so they might have been helpful. But I did record them on VHS through digibox so they're better than analog... It was five years ago and now the rights have changed to a different channel and they are the crappy editions, too bad.

True, but couldt Wedge, or Niemb Niumb or someone die of old age. Or at least be decrepit? Or let Han use a cane?

 Chewie and Mon Mothma are the only dead people in 50 years.

I think Madine died in somewhere?

msycamore said:

Would you mind posting a little bigger picture of the binary sunset, if it's possible and the close up of the two suns if it isn't too much trouble? that's also a shot that's been very inconsistent in color between various video releases.

Sorry, can't do it. It's just a catalog where you could order image #X and then LFL would send the images. They are only thumbnails. I'd love to get a hold on the real image files!

And like I said, maybe 75% of them have really off colors. Almost all Tatooine shots except a few.

msycamore said:

It is still interesting that it doesn't match the appearance in the '97 homevideo releases at all.

I don't know why they are what they are but the shots are even inconsistent with each other. But for example all Mos Eisley shots are just greyish blur but the Yavin battle looks pretty decent. Here's a few I just put together so you can see it...

msycamore said:

Oh... so that is what it was! Now when you say it, I think it resembles the footage in the doc: Magic & the mystery pretty much although that is more saturated. How did you find out?

It's in the SE section of the LFL photo catalog which has all SW pics for promotion.

And usually if there is a straight screenshot in a commercial release, it's not from the original films. I don't remember seeing any screenshots that promote something or are found in books etc., they're all promotional images taken with a camera. There are over 200 screenshot images for promotion from every SE film and now you also have the 2004 in HD where you can get any shot you want so I don't think you are going to find an original screenshot from an official release.

Yeah, the book you're referring to. Isn't that the picture that's missing one of the sun's. It otherwise looks just like the Special Collection screenshot.

It has been discussed that the scene is definitely darker in those areas you mentioned than on pre THX releases. But it was supposed to be shot day for night. I have a good screenshot comparison on another computer but ever since the new software, I haven't been able to properly embed any screenshots into the forum.  

A very late reply, I must have missed your post and completely forgot about this ;) Anyway, this was the picture I was talking about:

And you're right, now when I've seen the Japanese Special Collection transfer recently it is more close to it in color than the "GOUT." But I don't know if this picture is any true representation of it's original cinematography and colortiming, I just got very nostalgic when I saw this photo and thought to myself, this is how it's supposed to look. But I guess we'll never know... 

also the Canyon scene with Artoo being captured is very bright compared to the "GOUT" release.       

Wow, that image there is exactly how I remember Star Wars when I used to watch my pre-1997 VHS tapes. Everything after hasn't looked the same since. The GOUT as you say is much darker and it doesn't look right to me at all.

Wish I still had pre-1997 source like the Japanese transfer. I would do anything to be able to experience that particular 'look' that I remember.

Aww, I feel depressed now. lol.

 

 

Sorry about the late reply also, but that picture right there is a screencap from the 97 SEs for promotion.

Someone should make a true theatrical version based on this version, that would be great.
