Any updates on ROTS schorman?
I’m hoping the lack of updates is because he’s hard at work!
I do too but he did say he’d have it a few weeks ago, so I was just curious to see if he had made any progress.
On Myspleen, it should be listed under ‘Harmy’s Return of the Jedi Working Copy v2.0’
Not to derail the discussion, but is there a thread here that specifies how to calibrate an LCD tv for those of us planning to marathon the OT? I was able to successfully burn SW 2.5 and Empire 2.0 without any coasters so far and then I’m gonna have the Jedi workprint ready alongside them so I figure we might as well know these things for whom it may concern. 😄
Generally you want the brightness lower and the contrast higher so whites shine through and darks aren’t crushed completely. I just calibrated my roommate’s TV that he uses as a second monitor for his stationary laptop with this website (http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/) but I’m not sure how useful it will be to you. Try to find something similar or pause the movie and alter the settings on a frozen frame.
How can one go about applying your LUT to the .mkv on the spleen? Also, thanks for doing this!
He’s said that it’s virtually the only way to see a restored version of the trilogy. The negatives don’t exist in any viable form today, so Legacy would be their first option to use.
I’m betting Disney will commission our friend from Hollywood with the multiple prints and release only Star Wars for its 40th anniversary in May 2017. Maybe they’ll even pay him to do the soap opera and the puppet show too!
Yup, I’ll put it up on monday.
Thank you, DrDre. Can’t wait to play with it!
Is there a chance you could please update the link?
What were the differences in ESB mono?
Harmy, will you be able to include the 16mm mono mix from Puggo like in ESB 2.0?
AFAIK the sound mix on Puggo’s 16mm print is just a fold down of the stereo mix. The mono mix on Star Wars and Empire were unique in their content and were worth including. Perhaps his print does have a unique mix, but no one can verify it since Puggo hasn’t released it yet.
That’s exactly what I’d like to find out! Can’t wait for both to be released.

There are transfers of the 1982 tape on the organ. The 1995 Laserdisc is just a reissue of the 1993 set so there is no need to transfer it except for the interview with George Lucas.
Mostly Laserdisc transfers, which look much better than VHS in general. Not sure if there was ever a pan and scan version of the faces set on Laserdisc though.
.
The OCD in me can’t wait to see the updated front post with all the information about the sources and audio.
I like to download the Laserdisc transfers on my computer if that’s what you mean. I already have a VCR so it’s really for convenience’s sake that I wpuld want to collect it on vhs. Thanks for the response by the way. I should’ve just dug a little deeper. Sorry for the bloat.
I’ve never gotten confirmation that the 1985 remix on Laserdisc had any unique differences in ESB and ROTJ. I know Star Wars has the C3PO line bit are there any other substantive differences in the other two movies?
Harmy, you should definitely continue with the humorous tone in future videos.
I thought it was just called “Star Wars II” this whole time
SW: Harmy, Team Blu GOUT '77 and '97 HD
ESB: Harmy, Adywan '97 HD
ROTJ: Harmy (sadly there isn’t a standout '97 preservation for Jedi)
I like to watch the '97 version because I grew up with the 2000 rerelease box set of all things. I recently watched the DE all the way through to experience the OUT and there’s a chance I may never go back.
I want to buy one or two of the various VHS widescreen/letterbox trilogy sets but I want to know which sets use which sound mixes. I know the '95 THX set uses the 1993 GOUT mix but which ones use the 1985 remix and even the 1977/80/83 mixes?
Try CCCP instead of VLC. If that doesn’t work, create an ISO in ImgBurn and then create an MKV file from that ISO in mkvmerge.
Well if you’re taking cues from blade runner, it wouldn’t be that odd to label them with years.
For those that havent seen the set, the discs were labeled similarly to this:
1982 Theatrical Version
1982 International Version
1991 Workprint Edition
1992 Director’s Cut
2007 Final Cut
How about this:
1977 Theatrical Edition
1981 Theatrical Re-release
1997 Special Edition
2004 DVD Version
2011 Blu-ray Version
If you don’t like DVD and Blu-ray, you could say something like “Home Video” or you could mention Lowry in the name like “2004 Lowry Transfer/Lowry Remaster”.
Maybe:
Special Edition (Theatrical)
Special Edition (DVD)
Special Edition (Blu-ray)
Thoughts?
I have 2 making of VHS tapes, The Making Of from 1995 and From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga.
😃
Sorry for the double post, but is it possible to capture that 1995 Making of Star Wars VHS?
