I think people who defend the 97 either do so out of nostalgia (if they were young when it came out or first saw the movies on a 97 VHS or something) or just because it’s older and has also been superseded by subsequent versions. Therefore it has some of that “I can’t have it, therefore it’s better” appeal due to its unavailability.

i am in the camp of those who first saw the 97 SE and that was all i saw for years. so yes, for me it is very much nostalgia as it was the only version i knew for a long time. if it was the first version you saw, i think you would feel much the same would you not?

You can’t fight nostalgia, or convince someone that they shouldn’t have it.

Or maybe you’re 90 years old and communicating to us all through “the AOL”? Seriously, this is a calamity of errors. 😃

Pretty sure it is some variant of this.

Rare? The OT was last available in theaters last December.

Not on 35mm. Plus I think that was even more limited than this.

I don’t think it was. Even Regal was showing it.

Really? Huh, it wasn’t in my area.

yeah, theaters near me showed all 6 films in the lead up to TFA. if Alamo wants to call this rare, they are either pathetically misinformed, or it needs to be something like the 97SE which hasn’t been seen in quite some time.

Well… Yeah. That’s exactly what it is.

i think we are agreeing with each other. i am pretty sure this is a legit rare event.

A couple of questions:
Is a Grindhouse release on the cards?

Harmy’s Grindhouse of Jedi is from these scans, is it not?

Yeah It was def a scan poita did. I don’t think he would want to rescan it since it seemed pretty good, albeit dark

To find it, try the instruction on p.596 of Harmy’s thread here,
or the first post in that thread.

Is there a MD5 value available for this 2.7 release?

There’s a CRC value in the rar header:

No help at all…

well your 4 word complaint doesn’t really help anyone help you, it seems like you have already gotten more help from users here then i would have expected.

hint: you wont get any links so stop asking, it is against site policies

yeah, FLTFT is growing on me too.

Amen

S.O.S

Save our stars

I am terrible at naming things, why do I even try.

i dont think POT coveys how seriously great these projects are, but it does meet the ‘simple’ requirement…

JEDIT: used wrong tense, i should say, it doesn’t convey how great i think these projects will be.

wre you thinking of having one name for all three projects, or a separate name for each? my preference would be one name for all three as it ties them together. are these all the same film stock? if they are all eastman for example i think that could be part of the name. PET: poita’s eastman trilogy. i know you said your name doesn’t have to be part of this, but i think it is how most of us are altready thinking of it, so it seems natural.

being an outdoor scene, can’t you also let the shadows help determine that it is day time? certainly not high noon, but not sunset.

I am pretty sure poita is sending a preview to those who offered to help spot glitches. I didn’t offer to do that because I know I don’t have the time right now, and I don’t know the film that well either.

If you are offering to help with visual QC then I would think someone would share the link with you.

Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing

This is absolutely brilliant. I for one have never heard these lines before and to hear the old cast in character saying something new is a thrill!

Interesting, but I thinky favorite part was “call next month, for new message”

As it’s a different, earlier shot, technically no.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Yeah its there in the red version too. Fair point, i won’t bother you with nitpicks that have no bearing on the current work, sorry! (Glad you are feeling well enough to provide this flurry of updates!)

Hm, i kinda like that name, wish i wouldn’t have to drop the f-bomb to explain it to people in polite company, but the expression probably sums up most forum users feelings on the matter.

That Empire sample is not bad! i am curios, there are various flickering lines on the console of luke’s snowspeeder, is that in the print or from the deflicker routines? (in the color shot, it looks like they are red lines that come and go, most noticable in the large black vertical block next to the round gauge (Directly below the atat)

Since you can’t find it yourselves:

Star Wars: FTLFT was suggested. I’ll leave the acronym to your collective imaginations.

F*** the Lucasfilms’ Trilogy?

lol yeah that was one i came up with.

also: for the last time f***ers

edit: i got that switched, should be for the last f***ing time
i mistakenly thought it was a palindrome

. i am feeling a bit slow on the draw with that acronym. is it an inside joke or something?

Darth Lucas said:

Ok for possible names. Why not go simple and just call it Star Wars: Restored.

I agree that something simple is best. i will sleep on it and see if i come up with something better, but this is a good start.

I wasn’t originally planning to do anything special today, it is week day and we have an infant to care for at home, but now that A New Hope DE 2.7 was released… might be watching that tonight
