If they released the OOT on blu-ray with the same uncompressed 2.0 mix from the DC/Faces LDs, I'd be thrilled.

But then, I'm sort of a Luddite when it comes to sound. I prefer stereo to surround because I don't like sound coming from behind my head.

I'd be fine with a fully remastered original interpositive in high definition with the theatrical audio, as Blade Runner did. But yes, it is better to go the negatives.

Y'know, something that's always fascinated me about situations where the actual o-neg is scanned (such as the '04 Lowry job) is that everything on the film is .... well, negative. How exactly do they go about ... positivizing it?

I DO know that the Laserdisc of TESB was missing a scene of Lei welding the Millenium Flacon and that was added back to the GOUT DVD disc.

SKot said:In the early ROTJ trailers, Luke's lightsaber was not green...it was blue.  It was colored green later.

That is an interesting can of worms, but if Nerfherder's earlier quotation can be relied upon, and I think it can, and this was cut from the final cut during post production, then the trailers might well have been completed before then.

After that, well, I really don't see what else there is to dip with. It looks pretty clear to me that we're seeing a repeat of what happened with these movies on dvd.

I think maybe Frink was referring to other six-film franchise sets that have been released (?)

Aside from the fact that there won't be any OOT included, what about the fact that they're bundling the prequels with this set? So, half of the $150+ or whatever you'd be paying will be to purchase the prequels. I think that alone will turn a lot of people off.

$150? Is that right?

True, and everyone knows that by now, so I wonder how many people will wait it out 'till the next release.

Maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic, but Lucas' position on the OOT seems to have softened a bit. The fact that he used the cost of restoration as an excuse, and not the "my vision" argument, makes me think that there may be a chance down the road, when the OT is eventually released separately, and they need an incentive to have people buy them all over again.

it doesn't look that heated.

Things are getting heated over at HTF:

Either the thread is going to get locked, or someone is going to get banned....probably me! ;-)

There was a button, too (I think there was a dog wearing one in The Making Of Star Wars documentary) :-P

Hi, everyone, this is my first post here.

Today, Luca$ announced formally the SW Blu-Ray boxset, the best the movies have ever looked!!! (yeah, right).

Anyway, he showed this gem though:

Darth Paul is dead.

It would be nice if Gil Taylor and a whole bunch of the original guys are still around to advise on the project. Probably not going to happen but it would be nice.

Thanks for exhuming that vile and ugly old phrase from the past, Sunday. We can have civil discussions and disagreements on this board without it.

I didn't see that. In any case, it's way overpriced. Anybody considering it should wait until it gets re-listed at a lower price.

The Blu-ray box set is my last hope for the franchise. If it does in fact include only the 2004 edition, I won't buy it. I haven't watched the trilogy in years, and if Lucas can't be bothered with cleaning up the original elements, I can't be bothered with giving him my money.

Wow- a documentary with a bunch of fanboy sycophants kissing Lucas' ass. I can't wait. :-P

I'd be very surprised if that gets any bids at that price.

I see... Perhaps you should find a place (a topic) to sum up all this to present it the right way then. Maybe a feedback thread considering the current one is mostly for help and technical discussion. Just a thought. Cause as you can see I had no idea of what are your projects. lol

Interesting, I'll have to check on that.

There is also another error in the '93 PCM for Empire.

skyjedi2005 said:

The 70mm frames are a poor reference since they are taken from very faded 70mm print masters.  Especially Return of the Jedi, most shots are pink.

They must all be from pre LPP Eastman stock.

zombie84 said:
The 1995 mix has mono elements, while the 1993 DC mix does not, right? Even though its just DC+mono, that still qualifies it as a seperate mix. It's based on the DC mix, but it's not the DC mix.

Nerfherder said:

Incidently which thread did you post it in? I can't seem to find it.

I hope somebody with membership there posts a link to these screen shots over at the Home Theatre Forum.
