They seem to be pretty new and claim to have reasonable prices. Maybe you should just get a price quote from them on their website? If they are willing to do this, it would be amazing to get these scans in HD.

All the editing in the world isn't going to fix the bad acting and horribly awkward dialogue.

:(

Oh boy! Can't wai!

would like to hear update

I was standing in the shower playing with myself thinking "I wonder if there's a community of people who are working on restoring the original trilogy in its unaltered form." Turns out there was such a community doing that and so much more.

 

 

How did you know?!

Looking forward to the news..

What's the  "magic tree" fix?

To be fair, a first time watcher would have no idea what kind of "transport" it is even if they could clearly see it, so that point is kind of moot.

He could still tell C3PO was signaling the same transport R2 would later be taken prisoner on so them meeting up would not come as a surprise.

There are very few things that make me cringe in Revisited and this change is one of them:

I've never understood the purpose of this change for a couple of reasons:

1. There wasn't really anything wrong with the original that broke the suspension of disbelief or hurt the drama of the scene. Seeing a small vehicle in the horizon of which we can't make out the details brings a sense of wonder and imagination. This is one of the shots I most remember from the OT and one of my favorites as a kid.

2. I'm not sure what Ady used as the source for the new sand crawler. I know he said the only CG he used was of the TIEs, but this shot looks like CG. It's not convincing at all.

3. A first time watcher is not supposed to clearly make out what sort of transport C3PO is signaling. We are supposed to wonder how C3PO and R2 are going to reunite. We can already clearly see R2 being picked up in a Sand Crawler and if we know C3PO is signaling a similar ship, we can deduce C3PO and R2 are both on the same Sand Crawler, which hurts the drama.

 A fantastic way of getting usenet for free.

My old ISP (Charter) actually had pretty decent file retention. But now I've moved and changed ISPs and, alas, no more usenet for me :(. So I suppose I'll wait to see this on torrents or even rapidshare. Looking forward to it!

Any chance of this popping up on torrents in the coming days?

I think an h.264 encoded mkv file is an excelent idea. But I'd also like to see it released as a DVD9, so I can throw it into any DVD player and easily watch it on the TV.

Aleksbmw, I almost never have any idea what you're talking about, but it has all made me very excited to see what your laserdisc can produce. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the upload.

Maybe for the white text cover, you could up the contrast on the Han photo and make it much more readable.

Yay, I do love a good laserdisc restoration and this is looking fantastic already!

Such an obvious troll, why are we giving him any acknowledgment?

The interlacing in Revisisted is awful. Was this present in the original version as well?

I don't see what' s wrong with the original explosion. The praxis ring looks way too CG and doesn't fit in with the rest of the movie. Everyone I've watched this with has pointed it out.

ANy updates?

Great job Puggo. Looking forward to it!

Very nice. Should look especially nice on 1080 downscaled. A bit too many artifacts and too much noise as it stands right now.
