Depending on the country and year of broadcast, I wonder if one of these broadcast network recordings could be a better source of the mono mix than what's currently available.
Looks cool. I like it.
www.savingstarwars.com does not appear to exist anymore...
hairy_hen, there's a lossless 1985 home stereo mix floating around. I believe Teeceezy has it. Do you have it? Would you be able to encode that in DTS-HD MA (or whatever format you decide on) for Harmy's release?

I'm fairly certain that Harmy would no longer need sources if we had the originals. That's kind of the point.SpilkaBilka said:
Great. The more sources Harmy has the better.
It was a joke. I was implying that Disney would probably screw up such a release in some manner, but it would at least be another source to work with.
I mean, Disney's track record isn't that great with BD releases, is it? Someone on this forum posted a discussion about a BD of release of Cinderella (or maybe it was Snow White or Sleeping Beauty or something?). They compared it to the VHS and DVD and it looked awful because they DVNR'd it to hell.
Of course, this is just me being pessimistic. I am absolutely DELIGHTED that the OUT could get a BD release soon. Honestly, it's amazing news. It's what we've all been waiting for. That being said, I'm sure it will have some flaws that fans like Harmy will see as worth being corrected.

Harmy, there was talk a few months ago about including the 1985 home stereo mix on the BD. Are you still planning on doing that, and if so, do you have the files you need?

Leave it to George to hire the guy who takes pride in claiming that after he first saw Star Wars he ran home to redesign all the ships to his own liking.
Yeah, that bit from that "making of" webisode where he talks about how he'd draw the X-Wing the way he thought it should look, really left me scratching my head. THIS is the guy you choose to design your new SW movies???
Not trying to belittle you or anything- just genuinely curious- if you're that sick of SW and haven't watched it in 10 years... why exactly are you posting on a SW website?
Anyone remember that commercial that came out maybe a year ago for the Phantom Menace? I think it was a promo for some station that was going to air the movie. It was kid-themed and there was some line about, "you're going to be late for the party, Qui-Gon!"
Someone (I believe an OT.com member?) did a pretty funny edit of this and I'm wondering if anyone still has a link to it. I've tried some searches but can't come up with anything.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, it could've been a commercial for TPM 3D.
EDIT 2: ok, here's the original commercial. Now to find the edit.
EDIT 3: yay, found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDH60Spj-l8
This radical re-edit sounds... radical! Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I'm looking forward to it.
One thing that just popped into my head- and this is a VERY tiny thing that has always bugged me about ROTJ- I always hated the cartoony sound the speederbike makes when it spins out of control after Luke chops off the front of it. Any plans to remove that?

Is his "that's impossible, even for a computer" line dubbed by the same guy who dubbed the lines for "real" Wedge?
What?? Dude who gives a shit??? Lol
Because I was trying to figure out if the filmmakers intended this pilot to be Wedge in the movie...
Let me know if you need further explanation.

Funny video on Phantom Menace lightsaber fight choreography:
You guys don't watch Harmy's despecialized?
I don't think there's enough backstory for 3 prequels. Should've just been one movie.
I think I read somewhere that George is actually sterile. Vasectomy not needed.
I'm in the camp that thinks it's just a regular SD, though I can sort of see how it might work as being the Executor.
But for those who think it's the Executor, let me ask you this: let's say it's 1980 and you've seen SW, and now you're watching ESB for the first time. You know what a SD looks like. The shot in question comes up- the massive tower fills up the screen.
It looks just like a SD tower that's been established in SW and the beginning of ESB. What about this tower would possibly lead you to believe that it's anything but a SD?
If the filmmakers wanted us to think it was a different type of ship... why would the initial reveal of it be a structure that is identical to that of a ship that has been clearly previously established in the movies?
Those in the Executor camp- do you think the filmmakers' intent was for the audience to think right away that the tower belongs to a different kind of ship, OR, after seeing the body of the Executor, was the audience then supposed to think, "oh, that first shot of the tower was actually this much larger ship"?
Are there any clues in the script/storyboards as to whether it's the Executor or not?
This is really interesting stuff. It would be really cool to figure it all out.
What's the deal with the variations in the Yavin starfighter takeoff shot? (There's an extra cloud effect, and I believe there's either an extra group of fighters taking off, or they're in groups of 4 instead of 3). Have those variations shown up in home video releases?

Yes! Here in the US they had a collector's book/program, too. I had forgotten about that. :-) I think it was sold at the concession counter.
This is the one I have:
http://www.oldcomics.net/images/mag-return-of-jedi.jpgI have that one, too. Bought it at the grocery store, i *think* well after i had seen the film.
I have an older sibling (11 years older than me) who got that book when he was a kid, and I looked at it all the time when I was growing up. It definitely added to the "mystique" of ROTJ for me, and ROTJ was briefly my favorite SW movie. Seeing all the models and how they did certain things was awesome.
It's hard to describe what I mean by "mystique," but there was something about the book that just made ROTJ feel so... epic, like it was a the culmination of all the greatest filmmaking/SPFX techniques combined into one film, made by filmmaking masters. It felt like so much care went into making the movie. But something beyond that too that I can't really explain.
ROTJ is now my least favorite of the OT, so go figure.

If there is interest in something similar for the audio side of things, I'll see what I can come up with.
Seconded.
Thirded.

Nobody puts together an action sequence the way Lucas does. It's his niche. Let him handle that stuff.
Wait, that is sarcasm, right?
I sure hope it is...
Ah, whoops, how did I miss that.
