It lists them as only available in SD, so if this does come to fruition, it could be the GOUT masters.
Is it just me or when played on stereo speakers, the 97 soundtrack only plays the surrounds?
Just finished watching. Great job! I appreciated the phoney THX number at the end.
Pot is legal where I live so I’m very confused lol
Things have descended to the point where it’s easier to score some weed than watch the OOT. 😉
It’s cheaper in Oregon too.
Wasn’t there an audio line “he’s on your tail.” from the Death Star attack that is exclusive to 1997?
Yes, though it may be in the mono mix as well.
Higher ticket prices go straight the the studios. That’s why snack prices are so ridiculous- it’s the primary revenue stream for most theaters, especially independent ones.
If you saw cue marks at reel changes, it was probably film.

Weirdly, not necessarily.
I guess an ideal preservation would be to reasseble the episodes from the 35mm neg which would get rid of both wobble and cel edges, but as this would be largely impossible. Deinterlacing and IVTCing gets us one step closer to the cells as they appear on the negative (99% will be original progressive frames rather than interpolated frames).
Then you would have to re-do all the video effects, which the early seasons made extensive use of.
I am possibly the only person on planet that loves 1997 version of Jabba more then bluray version. I am aware that it lacks details, and has a more crude shape, but to me it lightning and its shape felt more realistic, blu ray version seams more cartoony. I have to defend myself by saying I am artist, aka not visually illiterate: http://i.imgur.com/KFCkWxq.jpg and 3d artist http://i.imgur.com/vorw9DN.jpg
I can see why, but despite the shitty lighting, the model and lip-sync are superior. It’s the same model used in TPM, and it looks way better there.
eBay would be your best bet. They pop up from time to time, but they’re usually faded.

Oh neat, so this proves that Lucas didn’t have an effect in mind in 1976. What a shock.
So why are you in this thread?
Anyone ever come across a Blu Ray (or even anamorphic DVD) of Six String Samurai?
Also of note, the Battlefront II Theed gameplay debuted this week, and noticed this little detail

It appears that (for this pre-alpha at least) the digital assets from TPM were used for the Theed palace, assets that DO NOT include the bridge added in to the “canon” Blu Ray and DVD. wondering if the team working on BFII either overlooked this for the alpha, or if it’s an intentional detail, seeing as how nuanced and attentive they’ve been with the rest of the map.
I thought most of these were model shots?
What is the source for the theatrical version of AOTC? Also, would you be willing to release the 97’s and TPM separately?

I get the impression most of the “old school” ILM’ers have retired or moved on. Was astonished to see John Dykstra had a credit on Kong: Skull Island.
He worked on Godzilla too.
Then I agree that digipacks are the best options.
But what do we do in terms of specs and such? I assume our own Despecialized sets vary in terms of audio options, subtitles, special features, number of discs (anywhere from 1 to 3 per film) etc.?
I think the specs should be relatively generic so we could use these for any number of preservations. Just including simple things like year, aspect ratio, and run time should be sufficient.
The generation that grew up with these films has grown up and wants to prove that the films they loved when they were younger are still good. People have a hard time liking things that they think are bad. I for one think that TPM is a bad movie but I love it regardless. Not a fan of the other two, though.
The pesky whipper-snappers who grew up on crap like Twilight and Harry Potter moved into other fandoms. Since they are easy to please the creators have little incentive to make good stuff when they can half ass any old garbage and make the bucks. They ruined Doctor Who and they tried to ruin Star Wars.
What the hell do you have against Harry Potter? Also, I have a Chrome plugin that replaces the word “millenial” with “pesky whipper-snappers”, so ignore the edit.
I could probably scan mine with if that helps. My dad has a scanner with a section for scanning negatives.
Hey, great project and can’t wait to see how progress goes when you update it. However, you should probably remove the google drive link, as direct links to fanedits aren’t allowed on this forum.
Ahh, gotcha. Any suggestions for the best place to upload them?
Myspleen is the go-to for most Star Wars edits.
Interest is great.
Is there any need to get Crystal Skull scanned? Do the prints look any differnt than the blu-ray? It was color graded digitally, I doubt there is much, if any, difference.
Novelty.
Now that it is day 14,611, I am firmly convinced we are not getting the OUT any time soon. I hope the execs see this still, as I at least want some sort of response.
At this point, the GOUT is more of a completionist thing for those that want each version in its highest official quality (ex: me).
