It’s not right. The second one is, in fact, the right one.

Look at 4K77 and the GOUT DVD logo.

The one with the little hair at the top of the screen is the correct logo.

Oh my god. The hair proves nothing; that could have been added in for all I know. It fades in and out at different times, and the light beams are different in terms of look & speed.

On the other hand, the second logo is almost identical to the Original, besides the hair, which was probably cleaned as per the restoration…

The position isn’t different. Look at where the hair is in the light beam. Exactly the same.

Looks like the first image just isn’t cropped in as much, whereas 4K77 and the new scan are cropped in slightly more, and they removed the hair lol

I’m sure some purists will be upset about the missing hair haha

I wonder how will George Lucas react to this whenever he makes a public statement. He will probably criticise it.

this will probably be his reaction.

I don’t think he cares.

He still seems to care, he talked about it again at Cannes in 2024:

If I’m not mistaken, that 20th Century logo is the first example we have of two versions of the same scene being uploaded? Perhaps this is a very small insight into how they’re evaluating different sources?

Yeah. It seems that this second one is the correct one. The old one was slightly different…

The one with the hair is the correct one, the top one.

It’s possible the 2nd one is from an international release or something, since they’re scanning foreign languages too.

Seriously… what happened to all the color before???

Looking at the UHD now almost gives me an aneurysm… that should be illegal. Do we know who did the “CC” on the 2019 versions? Cause it couldn’t have been Lucas, right?

Charles Bunnag, colorist extraordinaire:

“It’s never looked better!”

Just noticed Obi-Wan is reflected in Threepio’s crotch.

I’ll add that to the ever-growing list of ‘things that cannot be unseen’ in life 😃

Why anyone approved this for a children’s holiday special… 😬

Feeling a little bad for the souls that have spent years scanning and retouching every frame in 4k based on George’s lie.

It’s not really a waste, the 4KXX series are there to preserve the actual “theatrical print” media of how the movies would’ve looked like back to audiences in 1977, 1980 and 1983. The 50th Anniversary restoration would be basically how the conformed OCN in 1977 would’ve looked like, in the highest resolution and quality possible.

I mean, if the 4K77 team had access to a higher quality copy like an interpositive, they would’ve scanned that instead.

The goal was to just get a modern HD or 4K transfer, instead of the 2006 DVDs.

They scanned theatrical prints because that’s really the only thing anyone outside of Lucasfilm has access to.

I don’t know who would prefer 4K77 once this 6K scan of the negative is released, unless you like all the extra grain, scratches, dust, and lower resolution.

Is it too much to hope for HQ Holiday Special? Would it go with SW or ESB?

Why the hell would anyone want that? 😂

It’s not even so bad it’s good, it’s just bad and unwatchable.

It’s on YouTube for free for the few people who actually want to watch it sober.

Broom Kid said:
We still don’t know WHO this restoration company is, and why they’re using a codename.

It’s internal Disney/Lucasfilm

Bill Hunt already confirmed that, and it’s pretty clear since no such company exists with that name, and Disney hasn’t been outsourcing their remastering in recent years, like with The Sound of Music.

Hey, let me have a nice funny start of the day with this little kid 😦

That’s a creepy statement. Little kid? Hello, FBI?

JF_Sanderson said:

If people stop replying to rm4747 hopefully she will stop posting.

I’m a guy…

Waiting for your 12 IQ to compute here…

Roobyoo said:

I’m beginning to believe they are more likely not interested in you.

That’s probably true, since I’m not attracted to women.

Or are you not filling in the blanks here?

Roobyoo said:
Get yourself a girl and have a nice life if you don’t have anything better to do with your time.

Not interested in girls, but thanks for your concern.

I could say the same about 90% of people here lol

patrickmollohan said:

There are many here who can vouch for the credibility of That guy with no name, myself included.

Oh, god… thank you! So impressive!

An anonymous internet forum poster vouching for another anonymous internet forum poster!

I’m sure your mom upstairs is so proud, and congrats on your 50th birthday!

That guy with no name said:

Information which he got from the leaks, not from sources at Lucasfilm, btw.

Proof?

Why don’t you contact him directly and say that?

Should I message him with these screenshots and have him contact you?

Again, claims actually require proof for people to believe you.

JF_Sanderson said:
There is a thread for the leaks and a thread for the rerelease. Leave leak discussion in that thread and this one to celebrate.

Report me, ban me, block me 😃

I can make new accounts here.

I have endless VPNs and IP addresses I could use to get around any bans.

Fairly simple for a website like this that seems to have been cobbled together with 2003 technology and security lol

JF_Sanderson said:
Why are you posting a multitude of negative critiques with seemingly no goal in mind besides stirring shit? What are you trying to accomplish? Especially after you said there was “strong incel energy” on this forum and that you were “done”? But then edited your posts?

Not sure what you’re referring to, sorry.

Lawsuit for libel incoming?

That guy with no name said:
The reason they scanned only some shots in 8K is to compensate for the resolution loss in those shots due to generational loss. Again, you would know this, but you don’t.

Don’t speak about stuff you don’t understand, buddy.

Sorry for clogging up the thread, rpvee.

That was already reported by Bill Hunt.

That guy with no name said:
and then the 8K scans for select (not just VV) shots

Ok, so you’re just being pedantic?

Maybe they also did 8K scans of the grainy CRI VFX shots, no idea.

Either way, the majority of the scans were 6K.

Why they didn’t scan everything in 8K is beyond me, but…

That guy with no name said:
So, where did I say the 6K scans were done in 2012? Where? I’m waiting…

The Cintel scans were also 6K, just done earlier…

That guy with no name said:
Also, does the timeline “sTiLl nOt AdD uP”?

I’m confused, are you reading that incorrectly?

That says December 2023, not 2012.

Earlier, you said the 6K scans were done in 2012.

That guy with no name said:

Either way, this should shut you up and prove that there was in fact a new 8K scan and that it’s not just VistaVision shots as you wrongly stated

I have no idea what that is.

That’s a heavily cropped image, and very well may have VistaVision VFX in it.

4-perf 35mm from 1977 doesn’t have 8K resolution anyway, and all of the leaked footage so far has mentioned 6K Cinelab scans.

The few clips I’ve seen that have mentioned 8K were VistaVision VFX shots.

That guy with no name said:
The majority of people on this forum, besides you, believe me. And I have already told you why I haven’t released this, but you might have short-term memory, so I won’t bully you on that one, so I’ll repeat it again. (maybe write it down this time): The leaks I chose not to share on this thread have sensitive information.

Did you get that, or do I have to dumb it down for you? Maybe I need to draw it in crayon for you to understand it…

Why would I supply and allow all these leaks to be posted here, then lie about this?

I’m sure they do, since 90% of them are already members of your group lol

This is a pretty niche site.

The gatekeeping is annoying to everyone else, and we don’t believe it without proof.

You could certainly post it while censoring employee information or names.

In any case, I’m not impressed by your “knowledge”.

I’ll wait until 2027 and see what they release, since apparently no one has any further information they’d like to share outside of their silly private groups.

Why Lucasfilm hasn’t shut down the ALI YouTube page by now is beyond me, has to be an employee leak at this point, especially if there’s been multiple YouTube channels.

That guy with no name said:

Again, that is an older leak, and we have received newer ones with updated information. The cintel was done for catalog reasons. And there have been further 8K scans of elements other than VistaVision. Again, you have limited incomplete information. Do you know about the Photochemical restoration? Of course you don’t…

I’m tired of listening to you. Quick question, who sent you to this forum to cause trouble? Because you don’t seem to understand that people can be more informed than you…

As I said earlier, no one believes you have any information without proof.

Put up or shut up.

You could easily post proof, but you don’t. For no reason other than wanting to feel special.

You can keep saying you’re more informed and you have insider knowledge, and keep claiming you have all of this proof that you can’t share (for unknown reasons) over and over and over again.

No one believes you. It’s becoming sad and desperate. Clinging to relevance.

Either post the proof, or stop talking about it.
