Was planning on having another sample up today, but spent the day attempting (and sadly failing) to repair the washing machine instead. Might have something up later in the week.
You think your children deserve clean clothes more than we deserve a sample? đ

Wait⌠Thereâs a VHS of TFA? Why?
Itâs an anti-piracy measure that Delta Airlines is using for its in-flight presentations.

As for names, I suggest - Star Wars 35mm: The Poita No ReturnThat name is already taken! It was used for the dub of the EIAJ open-reel video set.
He could go with âTeam Puggoâs Despecialized Grindhouse: The Ridiculousness Revistedâ.
NOT WITHOUT LICENSING THE RIDICULOUS TRADEMARK I OWN
USE IT WITHOUT LICENSING AND I WILL SUE YOUR PANTS OFF
I HAVE THE LARGEST AND BEST COLLECTION OF PANTS

Yeah, Iâd like to see some capture of the TFA tape if that ever happened. đ
As would I. Iâm glad to see the ROTS VHS being preserved as well.
Yes, there are lots of updates. But nobody is going to post about it anymore. Nobody is interested. But keep asking regularly! I guessâŚ
No, the reason why there are no more updates is because the team account is gone and theyâve gone quiet. Occassionally Williarob posts in some other threads about it.

I just love that on the current mix, you can actually hear the quiet, when R2 is lonely, going through the canyon. I played the original mix and itâs FULL of hiss and totally brittle, so itâs fun now to hear it like George wanted it to really be, what was intended.LOLâŚâGeorge wantedâ. I wouldnât trust the mixes to this guy after his work on the OT soundtracks. Theyâre probably all muddled.
He is the guy that fucked up the mix for the DVD. You know, the one with quality changing mid-sentence, with swapped surround channels, with horrifically loud sound effects. You know, how George wanted it.
Could you post a few screenshots? Something from the BD, something from the LD, and something from the print?

all audio mixes (now archived at LFL)
Do we know this for sure?
My only real suggestion would be to maybe think about writing Robert Harris via the home heater forum since he has already expressed interest in restoring the trilogy and would at least be a helpful industry resource.
Quite an odd place to talk about Star Wars restorations, donât you think? đ
HolyâŚyou can see the hard brickwall cutoff in that waveform. WTF Disney?? I donât even like the film and I feel bad. BD at home allows for greater dynamic range than the usual terrible theatrical presentations of todayâŚand usually it is left as-is for modern releasesâŚuntil now. Weâve been fighting loudness in music since the mid 90âs and now itâs coming in moviesâŚcome onâŚwhat is wrong with people??
You can thank all the people who complain about how movie dialogue is too quiet compared to the music and sound effects for this one â the fact that itâs only the center channel that was brick walled makes that abundantly clear. It sucks, because the biggest reason they have those problems is that people are either watching on a crappy soundbar or the built in speakers of their TV, or they have a surround sound system but itâs got tiny little drivers that they didnât bother to calibrate. I swear, studios should start tossing in a lossily (not to mention dynamically) compressed track for people like this and having the disc default to it, so those of us who care can go in and switch to the good track, and the people who donât wonât notice but will also stop complaining.
It has indeed. I think on 4k discs, though.
Yeah, itâs out there. I think on normal blu-rays, not just the 4K ones (which Iâm pretty sure arenât out yet, and definitely werenât when the home version of Atmos first came out). Itâs kind of irrelevant to this discussion, though, since thereâs very few commercial theaters that are equipped to play an Atmos track at this point, so new movies still need theatrical 5.1 tracks.
Edit: Added the reply to Handman instead of double posting.
That would be lovely. A relative few number of DVDs have that option or try to explain to people. I try telling my family this stuff but they donât care whatsoever. Thatâs the issue here so I think they should either just do it or provide a simple static screen with a quick explanation and a choice.
Not everyone can afford surround sound systems. A lot of DVD releases had stereo and 5.1 mixes, and I wish that they would still do that for Blu Rays.
Where can I download this version of The Empire Strikes Back?
I wouldnât if I were you. There are much better options available today.
Thatâs really cool! I hope someone gets this, though the price looks a little steep.
Which editions of the Laserdiscs have commentary tracks? I own 3 versions (Definitive Edition, Faces, and an older set I recently inherited). Granted, my wife would kill me right now if I added to the house clutter by dragging out and setting up an LD playerâŚ
Just the DC. No other Laserdisc release of anything Star Wars related has commentary.

Rare? The OT was last available in theaters last December.Not on 35mm. Plus I think that was even more limited than this.
I donât think it was. Even Regal was showing it.
Really? Huh, it wasnât in my area.
It wasnât every Regal. I believe there was only one in Oregon (my state) that was showing it. I didnât go because I didnât want to do a 7 film marathon. Instead, I stayed home and marathoned the OUT and then saw TFA later that night.
LEGO Star Wars is fun. The Rogue Squadron series is fun. Dark Forces is fun. Republic Commando is pretty fun. I never got into any of the Battlefront games or X-Wing/Tie Fighter.

There would be no other reason to feature Greedo so prominentlyâŚ
They change up the cover photo every so often just for the heck of it. Itâs anything Star Wars related, really. I donât think this is anything to read into.
Have you looked into workstation cards rather than gaming cards? I donât know if youâd do a whole lot better with price v. performance, but just a thought.
A nice extra feature of the color balancing algorithm đ:
De-tealed images
I approve. Please continue.
Did you guys updated the Sandcrawler?the glitched second post is strong with that (<) one
No, he didnât.
Airplane (PG) had boobs.
Can someone quickly direct me to the part where the idea that theyâre waiting until next yearâs 40th anniversary is closer to make a statement was debunked? Until then, âItâs been four yearsâ carries no weight at all for me.
A journalist for the Wall Street Journal made an article with loads of inaccuracies and said Lucasfilm has no plan to release the OUT any time soon. Master detective work. Completely debunked. Case closed.
Itâs on the front page of this thread
Hey, maybe if a future release renders the despecialized editions obsolete, your next project could be doing 3D conversions đ
Doesnât Harmy already have his hands on scans of a red faded print? All he would need is a blue faded print. Easy!
Then if he gets a green faded print a person with 3 eyes can have 3D. Or would that be 4D?
