And let's not forget the "improvements" and "enhancements" for the upcoming 3D abomination! At least we have Raiders of the Lost Ark coming to us in IMAX to celebrate the restoration and BD release.
Fantastic, Harmy!
Another dumbass change gets found, reported, and dealt with.
Take that, George!
Out of curiosity, how were you able to fix that shirt color so fast? Was the color timing of the entire frame at fault, or was it definitely a conscious change made by George and Co. that had to be undone by changing the color of the shirt only? Sorry, I'm just an audio person and I know next to nothing relating to video. I'm doing good to make AVCHD's and BD's, and have no knowledge on the actual futzing around that you and others here do.
Whether you can answer this or not, you sir are a LEGEND! :)
Wow, I had no idea there was a 1965 Technicolor Dreamcoat edition. I guess Lucasfilm borrowed Doc Brown's car.
Kidding aside, I'm sorry this happened Harmy. I'm sure it was no laughing matter when you discovered it. I'm sure with your experience, and the help of those qualified here should you need it, it will be resolved post-haste.
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
That reminds me, if anyone has a myspleen invite to send my way, I'd appreciate it. I'll share the hell outta this.
Very good, Harmy! I'll definitely take the MKV to hold me over on my HD monitor until the BD comes. Are you planning a "making of" kind of thing? Or perhaps a "DE-making of" kind of thing? I would be very interested to see stuff like that.
As I said before, I have a very fast fiber-optic connection and I have no problem committing maximum bandwidth to sharing the MKV, or any files associated with it. Just PM me if you like.
Looking forward to seeing this!

The MKV should be about 13GB in size without audio steams.
No steams for me. It wreaks havoc on the electronics! :)
Wow, yet another completely unnecessary tinker is found. There are probably still more, unfortunately.
Wow, this is exciting stuff! Thanks to AntcuFaalb for the find, and the cash spent on such a project. And a big thanks to everyone that has offered help.
It doesn't get any better than that!
I look forward to seeing this!
May the commercialized capitalist cash grab from the cash cow be with you all as well.
I watched Harmy's DE on the HDTV. For free. :)
This is great! I was just going through my video collection and came across my Droids and Ewoks DVD's and a VHS of the Droids "The Pirates and the Prince."
It's good to see yet another facet of the LFL revisionism is being foiled. :)
I look forward to your results!
If only....
I won this set on eBay for $65, and it's a neat item to have. It's one of those things that if a fellow fan spots it, they gotta know what it is and a conversation is started. I plan on transferring them as soon as I can locate a decent reel to reel deck.
YES!
*Finger anxiously hovers over the download button*
Will it be announced here when v2 is ready, or TehParadox, or both?
For anyone interested in such things....

I'm not surprised that the OT gets the least coverage, but it's still sad. The condition of some of the models, props, paintings, etc. is seriously deteriorating, but it's cool seeing them in high definition. They could have included "From Star Wars to Jedi" and some other things to beef up the OT disc. I guess they'll be included in the 40-Disc Ultimate Special Anniversary Limited Deluxe Numbered Edition.
