(I still prefer to refer to the GOUT as LEX - Limited Edition Extras)


cool, is there a section on this site that explains the acronyms that are most commonly used and the differences between versions?
edit: sorry for all the questions

I'm more experienced in sound editing (not great but better than most) and this kinda thing always intrigued me...

Anyways, I have a bit of rumor I heard from a fairly reliable source concerning the Holiday Special - apparently Australia's FoxTel (sp?) station had entered into talks with LucasFilms to promote a one-off 30th anniversary airing of the Holiday Special for next year, with the possibility of a new George Lucas chat about the history of the special afterwards.

I'm not really too sure about the truth behind this but as I said the person I heard this from is usually pretty knowledgeable about the Holiday Special

As for if it will be remastered/cleaned up? Can't say, but I'm sure George still has the original negative up there at Skywalker Ranch in the vault
Well, that would be his ULTIMATE revenge to the OOT fans... a remastered Holiday special.
I'm pretty new to the Star Wars terms and remastering circles - what does OOT mean?

...


so for what it's worth, it's not a 'preservation' - but it's a heck of a lot more watchable


Are you planning on making this available anywhere?


I think everyone would like to know this
