So I just finished taking over 500 screenshots from the TN1 16mm scans of the Classic Creatures and From Star Wars to Jedi documentaries and I’d like to share a link to the photos. What’s the best way to do that? I normally upload photos to imgur if I want to share them here, but for so many I’d like to make an album of some sort and just post some of the highlights. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Never mind. Making an imgur album was easier than I thought. I’ll post the link and some highlights later today.

Have those been released? It drove me crazy that prints of both docs popped up on ebay last year when I was strapped for cash. I’d been searching for them for years.

Yeah, they were both included with 4K83 as bonus features.

Ah! That’s why I didn’t see a thread for them.

Note that the set blueprints say Episode II. Whoops!

Cannot unsee/un-think!

Aren’t you all glad that David Lynch passed on directing the film now? 😛

Is there a BTS shot showing how much of the rebel hangar set was actually built?

I found these at http://starwarsplaces.com - though seem to recall a few more elsewhere too - with the angle of the photo giving it a larger feel… and I’ll have a route around later 😃

I’m pretty sure SilverWook was referring to the ROTJ hangar inside Ackbar’s Home One.

Great photos either way.

Once Upon A Galaxy mentioned the winners of some contest who got to visit the Hoth hangar set the first day they began filming on it. Luckiest fans in the world!

Thread unlocked at the OP’s request. In the words of my old pal Toad, Be nice, or be dog food!

Maybe because there’s a shot of Crumb looking at Jabba’s twitching tail like he’s going to bite it?

The final batch of images for ROTJ - from benduwan’s collection…

A huge thanks to benduwan - I hope others put up and share their images as well 😃
 

Are we sure David Lynch didn’t contribute any ideas? 😃

And then there’s this guy, who looks like he wandered in from some WWII movie being filmed next door. What’s his backstory?

Wait, is that a shot of the Death Star traveling through hyperspace?! Amazing!

I’ll say! And they already had the effect to rear project on the set it seems.

So many of those Hoth pics look like personal photos by random Rebels. I love it!
The one of the squadron with the laser turret looks like an official squadron group photo with the Sergeant off to the left. Could be framed with a plaque: Squadron 138 - North Ridge

I’d never seen or heard of R2 washing the X-Wing! I really wish that was in the film.

I’m guessing from the camera angle Artoo’s actions might have been misconstrued, not to mention blow a PG rating. 😄

many thanks Fated-Dualist. glad to see them here.
it is a hard work to search and collect them all.
a big thanks goes to darth_ender who has collect many of them in his big pic collection.

if some interest in this ,pm me.

thanks

20,000!?

And I never noticed the Mon Calamari guy in the helmet in that shot before either!

Ah, Topps trading cards. I can still smell the bubble gum!

How did they hide Anthony Daniels’ arm for the wide shots? IIRC, they were sort of puppeteering Threepio’s upper body only for the closeup and the wipe to the next scene helps conceal this as they lift him up. Even if a one armed man was available, he had to fit into the suit.

And does the used speeder lot alien have hooves for hands? 😮

Never saw that second Trandoshan on Jabba’s barge before!

Artoo being pressed into being a rolling beer keg brings up a thorny question or two. Was he always capable of dispensing drinks or was he modified by Jabba’s people? And if they did mod him, how did they not find Luke’s hidden saber?

I love Salacious Crumb. Haters be damned.
I really dig the creature design. I think he’s great.

He’s pretty funny in the Star Wars to Jedi documentary too. I’m surprised there aren’t more outtakes with puppeteer Tim Rose cutting loose.

It has been my observation that most pro SE people who support the suppression or the original cuts are ignorant about film and video tech in general. A lot of people don’t seem to understand what “HD” or “4K” even really mean and act as if they are some sort of application that you apply to old films to make them look better.

I literally got into an argument with someone in the comments for an upload of a Star Trek Generations deleted scene on YouTube that was from a barely watchable multi generational VHS copy of a workprint, which was then uploaded to YouTube in sub SD quality. This person seemed to think that movies come out of the camera in this kind of dog shit lo-rez VHS quality and that they use some kind of magic “upscaler” to make films look the way they do when they are released.

Must be related to the fellow I once encountered who insisted all of TNG’s 35mm shots of the Enterprise D miniature were tv resolution and could never be used for an HD remaster. Ignoring the fact some of that footage was used in Generations!

I don’t know how to get in touch with him. Haven’t seen him post around here in a while.

It’s odd that Disney hasn’t done a simple repressing of the old Fox flipper DVD at the very least.

Am I the only one who thinks (and has always thought) that “One more pass” sounds like a distinctively female dub replacement for actor Denis Lawson’s voice.

It’s not just you. 😉

A great day for photos I’ve never seen before! 😄

So did the Jerba inspire this critter Wicket is riding on?

Don’t know if it’s appeared in other Ewok stories…

Are you sure it’s not simply that the sun has moved in the time between when the two shots were filmed? Or else there was something in the first shot that needed to be covered up.

And I’ve never noticed the small Bantha(?) to the left of the Dewback before!

I remember the Cantina band on a Taco Bell poster, maybe it was that!

Oh boy. With this quarantine I could sure use a Tatooine taco about now… and drink through Watto’s spine.

Why would they bring their instruments to a podrace?

Also, Attack of the giant Watto…

Someone fluent in French would have to pursue the matter. Film collectors are usually shy about divulging such information, for obvious reasons. Only a print of the first film was sold.

I’ve been putting up with that mindset since at least the early 2000’s. Gave up on a Trek forum, (one with a general SF discussion board) and the Home Theater Forum because I was just plain weary of the Groundhog Day/temporal loop those discussions always seemed to end up in. Thank goodness I found OT, and for the life of me, I don’t even recall how I found it.

I don’t even want to imagine the pro Maclunkey arguments now. 😉

HTF folks are hostile to the OUT? I’ve never talked Star Wars there, mostly just like to read catalog BD reviews and might use it for some hardware advice in the future, but I find it hard to believe that such a place wouldn’t as a general rule support SW77 on disc…

It might have been just a few people making more noise than others. Not so much hostility as not understanding why anyone would want the original versions. There also was some sneering at SW nerds who wear costumes or have SW collectibles on display in their homes, as opposed to normal stuff like sports memorabilia. The climate may have changed in the years since I left.

We’re lucky they didn’t just dump those same 1993 LD masters onto a Blu-Ray, just so they could say they gave us what we wanted, when it wasn’t up to the specs of the day like last time. It has happened with alternate cuts elsewhere.
