Count me in as excited! 😃
I’ll still grab the UHD release. What’s the verdict on that new restoration though?
Are the PAL DVD releases any better?
I have the full set on the shelf.
My guess is they would be from the NTSC DVD masters, which were converted to PAL.
I chipped in last night. I hope it helps.
Looks and sounds really promising 😃
Watched this earlier today, and it looked great. Thank you 😃
This just further cements the fact that LFL could have fixed every conceivable color issue for the Blu-ray, using the same master, on a budget of zero dollars and zero cents.
But that wouldn’t fit George Lucas’ originally intended artistic view 😄
I really love the latest LUT. It looks a bit modern, but in a good way.
With that said, I also love the more theatrical colours.
I haven’t been updating this thread with as much information as the one over at fanres. I finished the regrade of the video for the TV cut. (For those that forgot it is regrading the BD to the 1995 THX laserdisc)
Making the theatrical cut from that should be trivial. For the TV cut all there is left to do is sync the soundtracks: the 5.1, the LD PCM 2.0 (SE LD) and the soundtrack from the TV broadcast. The Theatrical will have the 4.1 from the BD and a PCM 2.0 (non-SE LD).
Here are some examples:

Stunning difference. Looking forward to seeing your final work 😃
