Star Wars 1977 releases on 35mm
Time

I've been criticized here for removing grain from my encodes...

As poita said, you take a big compression hit by leaving in the grain so it's a bit of a tradeoff whether you want a more filmic appearance, vs. better compression, and I tend to prefer a sweet spot that still has a little bit of grain, it's not swimming in it like say the Dragon Ball Z Levels, or the Puggo 16mm encodes, but it's not completely grainless, flat and looking like video.

Of course for the master preservation from which everything else derives, you want everything intact :P - you can take something away, but you can't add it back later.

Just an opinion on my end.

I was very fortunate, I suppose, to have seen SotS as a kid in '87. :P

I managed to find a copy online to watch a couple months ago. The quality wasn't HD or anything, but it was serviceable. I honestly found it a beautiful movie; those who call it racist are either overtly-sensitive members of the PC police or haven't even seen the movie in the first place.

Damn straight. We don't need no stinkin' SJWs!

Same. Personally, I very rarely post because I don't have much to say, and don't like to flap my jaws on forums (I'm an IRC person).

I've lately become active on Twitter, mainly out of necessity (I'm in contact with some Apple ][ preservationists and am building off their work by porting the disks they rip to make them hard-drive installable).

 Spot on.
