Info: a 35mm SW(pre-ANH) print saved from being burned

Found this link today:

http://starwarsy.pl/muzeum/rozm/muz_rozm23.htm

The long story short: this is the 1979 copy of the Star Wars (pre-ANH) distributed in Poland (yeah, with subtitles). After the licence expired, all prints were to be officially destroyed (burned) except for one kept for National Film Archive. But one of the commissioners swapped one of the copies by putting the reels of another movie into the tins, thus saving a vintage ANH print 😃

Can we call it a Star Wars preservation effort… from 1980s? Or a 3,3 kilometers of film history? 😉

LOL, I like that idea... especially because I did a small clip this way a few years ago (the Death Star chasm jump scene) and even posted it on this forum (but I'll bet the original message got deleted - it had to be at least 5 years old IIRC).

BTW: other people also mentioned B&W Star Wars:

Could you post some screenshots? I'd like to check it out before I start downloading 7GB... I don't live in Sweden, ya know ;)

 

I like old movies, LOL

 Surprised? His nickname is "negative one" after all. Why bother disputing with someone whose only rule is negation?

Thank goodnes for the "ignore list" :)

inspiration for creating Indiana Jones?

Every time I watch a documentary about making of IJ trilogy I hear about those "old serials" & other stuff from which things & bits were borrowed to create Indy. But I've never seen specific titles being mentioned.

Do we have experts here to answer my question? If I want to see old books/comics/movies that contain "prototypical" Indy, what should I look for?

How do I find my own posts only? Other forum software used to have "find all post by this user" option.

 

Look what I got when I used searching today:

Interesting subject, as I'm WW2 history & aviation buff.

But... did I see "George Lucas" written here...?

Hmm...

- Wesa gonna die! Wesa in big poo-doo! Ouch time! Maxi big da FLAK is!

...

Samuel L. Jackson inside aircraft cockpit:

- There are mo**erfucking snakes on this plane!

 

 

Darn - maybe I should quit joking like that... remember when nobody believed me when I told you there will be aliens in Indiana Jones 4...?

My Review of the Force Unleashed plot based on the graphic novel (SPOILERS WARNING I SPOIL THE PLOT)
Link

LOL, loved that crayons bit ;)

But the whole thing is nothing to laugh about. We - the loyal customers - are witnessing a serious decay in the quality of the product line we liked to buy. Normally we could choose another manufacturer or start making own - better - versions of these products. The problem is that G.L. has the monopoly on SW. (E.g.: I proposed to few people making "independent" SW game or a comic book that would unfold alternative prequel story, but everyone knows we would soon get "cease&desist" letter from LFL lawyers...)

My solution? If they can't come up with things of satisfactory quality (from my POV), time to stop giving them my money. Too bad there're not many people who have such strong resolve as I have (e.g.: I haven't seen IJ4 yet because I think this movie shouldn't have been made in its current form&style), otherwise G.L. would've already felt the clear message from his clients (read: drop in the income flow).

@Johnny Ringo: I think skyjedi2005 simply fooled himself, basing on a strong desire to see some good SW product, to read this book, as if to "give FU another chance to redeem itself". If we really really want something to be good, we often give it a chance despite having strong initial bad feelings about it (like me and "The Witcher" movie, har-har...)
