Are there any screenshot comparisons between the GOUT and 35mm? Just curious to see the upgrade.

Only in the shots that are 100% GOUT (because the 2.5 shot resembles that, though it’s obviously further processed). Admittedly, it’s a bit hard to tell the difference in some for a single scaled down screenshot, but it’s more noticeable in motion. Darth Lucas’s saber element upgrade from GOUT is immediately clear even with the screenshot.

That’s what I meant. I’m just curious to see the detail/resolution difference between the GOUT and a 35mm scan.

would I also be eligible for you to send me a copy, I know I didn’t really do anything but I feel like im a big part of it for suggesting it in the first place, plus im just so blown away about how quickly everyone jumped on this its nice to see my one man quest to find out if an HD version existed not only proved successful but also became a preservation my only regret is not being able to help gathering sources, perhaps one day I too will be able to assist in a project id really appreciate it btw how big do you think the file would be, my internet sucks and id really like a copy but depending on size I might not be able to download (without it taking an insane amount of time)

No offense but I was talking about this idea 4 years ago…

Have you considered adding/putting the following on a future Disc, as appropriate:
The Following are from Youtube:

“Honest Trailers - Star Wars The Force Awakens”, from 2016 ( https://youtu.be/vs3sVrm_W4o )

“Honest Teaser - The Force Awakens”, from 2015 ( https://youtu.be/pegJQPIzfs4 ) [this one pokes fun at the prequel trilogy]

“How Star Wars The Force Awakens Should Have Ended” ( https://youtu.be/JbpgM-JTang )

“The Tragic Story of How C-3PO Got His RED ARM! (Star Wars) || Comic Misconceptions || NerdSync”
( https://youtu.be/sz-w4WqqaSE )

“2016 Star Wars The Force Awakens Read-Along Storybook and CD” ( https://youtu.be/VGRG8u9edzg )

“Star Wars Force Awakens ALL Easter Eggs & References ( FULL MOVIE )” ( https://youtu.be/DglBQf3U5Xs )

“The Hidden Truth Behind Star Wars [Documentary]” ( https://youtu.be/QufZ3CjjODA )

Also, if it would be of interest, I have come across the following:

“Star Wars The Force Awakens Premiere Live” (720p HDTV)

“Star Wars Force Awakens On Set Sky Movies Special” (720p HDTV)

“Conan 2015 12 17 Star Wars The Force Awakens” (720p HDTV)

Also, I Will PM you this to both, a) make sure you see it, & B) to add/give additional info

The first 3/4 is not really official or unique material, aside from the Storybook. Not my interest at all.
The last few are all on later editions.

This is about 1/3 done. Everything is synced (inserted 2x deleted scenes from BD, removed shotgun) and ‘specialized’ about 40 minutes worth. Had to adjust the contrast of the 20th footage since it was a bit washed out looking, which really shows off the pixelation of the rip in night scenes. But yeah, two shots so far seem to have some corrupted video going on, so the other rip will be helpful. 😃

Sweet. I’ll upload for you tonight.

We can call it whatever we want. I call it an empty spot on my movie shelf that needs to be filled asap.

I’ll go with this.

+1 But I compeletly respect what Mikes plan is and understand why the distribution of this won’t be like Depseiclaized.

And I still have no idea why anyone cares about it. If no one will ever see it then who cares what he does? #movealong

Thanks. Wazzles has sent me the 720p link.

I do need the DTS muxed to the DVD video (or a low quality encode of the video with the same sync) to make sure the end video will synchronize.

I will upload the DVD for you!

I will also upload the 1080i version of the 20th Anniversary logo for you. I believe you said you needed that.

I agree the 720p version seems to have more detail, Im not exactly an expert on upscaling and quality control but being the blu ray is 1080p and this is 720p wouldn’t it fit better if both sources were 720p because the upscale clearly looks darker and less detailed than the blu ray would, I think the 720p footage mixed with the blu ray even if it were a combination of 720p (for the 20th anniversary footage) and 1080p (for the blu ray) would go together quite nicely, unless it possible fore some one to clean it up a bit and make it more seamlessly match (the blu ray looks incredible, to say the least is seems like it would be hard to match without a true 1080p source) I am sure it will look good regardless anyway then its just a matter of syncing the audio which seems like it wont be too hard

what do you guys think ?

I think that 720p and 1080p are closer than most people think. I’d rather one source be upgraded than downgraded. This isn’t like it’s going to be a Harmy version with multiple editions. It’s one and done. Might as well do it right the first time.

Thanks. I suppose we don’t know yet whether yours or digitalfreaknyc’s is higher quality?

I’ve got a couple of screenshots a page back. It looks pretty good but maybe a little smeary in motion. I’ll wait to see how his compares before I try to figure out how to get it to you.

So you want me to send screenshots matching the ones already posted?

really, I can’t find it online and the sites that I’ve been directed to are in Russian and I can’t navigate around, where did you find your copy, is it in English ?

I had someone capture it from HDNET movies. If someone is going to create a hybrid version utilizing the original film, I’d be happy to supply it. Would love it synced with the DTS track.
