Nobody tell this dude anything tell he pays you five bucks
Must be depressing being a jaded, angry old Baby Boomer.
Attack the post - not the poster.
I’m honestly not that interested in the behind the scenes work lol, all of the interesting technical details have already been leaked.
Ahh. Yes. I’m sure everything leaked. Must have all leaked. Sure of it.

this restoration (which began YEARS AGO)Do we know when it began? I thought I saw somewhere it was 2022, but all of the leaked clips I’ve seen have a 2025 copyright date on them.
The films were scanned in '22, restoration began this year or '24.
Interesting. Is that in the data files?

I mean, we obviously know these scans are real. Lucasfilm is obviously scanning and re-mastering all of the original film.It’s even been confirmed by Bill Hunt at The Digital Bits with his sources at Lucasfilm.
What they’re going to do with the re-masters, we don’t know yet. But a 2027 theatrical and home media release seems likely.
Wouldn’t make much sense to do a re-master like this and do nothing with it.
Oh really? do tell.
And, let’s be real: Bill isn’t what he used to be, even if he did say that (which, spoiler alert, he didn’t).
Uh, Han, you okay there, buddy? I’ve had sunburn before too, it ain’t fun…
This is the only comparison thus far where I prefer the UHD.
Why is sandstorm still b&w? Because they don’t want to (or can’t) track down uncut negative and conform it to dailies edit?
What do you mean, “still?” It’s in color on the Blu-ray.
It’s been a locked room for almost 20 years now, and the people who got locked in all those decades ago frequently don’t know how to act anymore, LOL. If they ever did, considering when it was that the doors got nailed shut.
I don’t go into the forums much. No real reason to.
LOL, the folks over at blu-ray.com…
If someone does switch to a new source, make sure to watermark it with “blu-ray.com can kick rocks”
Between that place and myspleen, I can’t tell which one is most like the prison room in THX-1138.
What’s wrong with Myspleen?
NEW SCREENSHOT COMPARISON - AND A NEW VIDEO CLIP - FROM STAR WARS…
For these comparisons: the folks over at blu-ray.com are complaining that the source of the 4k is not lossless. Whoever is making them, can you please use the original disc - if you’re not?
All credit to X for the time, dedication, and energy - in compiling these. And also for their permission to post the screenshots here. 👍
Question: Why does the Luke shot with the Sarlacc say 4K83 v2 but yet it has the Aurora wording on it?
Sigh…why do folks have to be such butt-sharks? Thanks a lot @$$-clowns.
That is all I have to say on the matter.
Speaking from experience - once it’s out there, it’s ONLY a matter of time until others find out. I’ve been involved in leaks at the highest levels before and this is how it works. People suck. There’s no way of them keeping it internal unless they’re being paid to.
You see the tip of the iceberg and do not know what is happening. Only a tiny amount of us do so if your not in the Do7 group then you will not know. I am in the group and can confirm but cannot start private topics on here. If someone can verify me then start a private topic with me asking the question. I know the answer and we can verify on here and link accounts with Do7. Safety and security is #1.
what is Do7?
We prayed this would not get as much attention that it has got but what most of you have seen is breadcrumbs. There is a tiny group of us who have seen a lot more that has not been leaked thanks to connections and know this is happening for real. We cannot show or tell anything else and have to be so so careful even with our friends on here which kills us. We have no choice because if moles or double agents sneak in then everything might get cancelled and the unaltered original trilogy will never be seen in quality it deserves. We ask you please stop talking about this on public boards and keep it on here only so this does not spread. The tiny group of us have joined with different group who have got us more connections and we are all at risk and some who are working on the project too. The project log files did not leak like videos did we managed to get them thanks to informant but had to change some things so we created Arurora Light Imageworks for plausible deniability and legal reasons. We are scared that it can still get traced back to us so please do not put us in danger or the important project!
This logic makes ZERO sense. Why would they cancel a project that they’ve already spent so much money on just because people found out about it? This isn’t a new film.
They’d 100% still release it and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
Eckhardt also chimed in on that reddit thread to say this is what he saw. Or rather, what he said was “told ya so.” LOL.
I’m not sure these caps share any of the UHD’s same framing decisions. This shot from ESB is cropped in WAY tighter on the UHD than it is on these caps, for example:
I remember that being a thing - all of those Falcon shots are cropped much tighter on the blu/4k, I believe.
To add to the mystery, the company that the redditor claims posted these has a private Vimeo page with this one upload publicly visible.
It’s from the deleted scene with Luke and 3po.
They also have these 3:

https://vimeo.com/1114770007?from=outro-localI thought it looked a little Tunisia-ish but I didn’t want to hope in vain! At the risk of getting burned, this is starting to seem like it would have to be a very elaborate hoax at this point.
You can see for yourself. It’s from this deleted scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSTr1usny3E

I have Best Buy and Wal-mart but not Circuit City.
Any chance someone has it?

The Lee Phillip Show - “Star Wars Cast Interview” (6/17/1977)
No offense but AI is atrocious. It looks like a cartoon or a painting.
You know that movie is stuck in 480p, right ? So what you see here is the best result I could get at the moment with AI technology. IMHO it looks better in motion than the best official source. Look for comparison screenshots between the two in the first post.
I’m fully aware. My comment was based on the screenshots – ESPECIALLY that last 2 shots. Holy Hell. It’s wax.
No offense but AI is atrocious. It looks like a cartoon or a painting.
I recently burned all of the contents to blu-ray. Has anyone created artwork for a full set that I could print? I know it’s a long shot but figured I would ask.
Thank you!
