So what’s the scoop on the new 4K Blu-ray transfer? Does it have the same problems as the original Blu-Ray transfer? Is it bad?
So just curious, this is obviously going to be taking a while. To my knowledge, the only real 35mm fan release that has happened so far is the Renegade Grindhouse. But as I understand it, some fans have done their own basic color corrections of that release.
Is there anything out there that anybody’s done with some basic color correction or cleanup to hold people over in the meantime while this gets finished? I’ve seen some impressive-looking versions with just a basic color correction applied, but these have been hard to track down for people and are a bit more, shall we say, ephemeral.
Donated! May the Force be with you guys as you get this scanned in and cleaned up! I was waiting with bated breath for Poita’s print to get scanned, but that seems to have stalled.
May the Force be with us as this literal last-surviving holy grail of an Empire print goes in for its cleaning and scanning. I’m sweating profusely.
Guys i just wanna say im really super hardcore about film i think pixels are stupid ill never look at a pixel celluloid is my spirit animal
Is there a checksum for the file?
I’m crying.
These samples of the Death Star attack are the first time some of us are seeing the shots that were redone in the special editions in HD. Absolutely fantastic!
I noticed in these most recent frames that some of contrast of the shadows and other things seems to be slightly lessened compared to the unrestored frames, but maybe that's how it was supposed to look with the smoke? Will the final correction bring out more contrast?
Literally created an account to comment on how beautiful this new sample looks.
