Nothing on that site works....on Chrome or firefox.


 Unfortunately Russ used ActiveX for calling Windows Media Player. It works ONLY on IE. On other browsers you have to check the source code to get the path to the mp3 file


Well....doesn't THAT suck. ;)

Does anyone hear think that Disney might not ever release the OT out of respect for Lucas' "true vision" for the films


Nope. If the fans don't respect Lucas's "true vision", why would an organization devoted to making money respect it?


If it was, somehow, written into the contract, then they'd have to. I can't see Disney accepting those terms but....who knows? Crazier things have happened.

 They know fans have copies of all of this stuff, but they don't really bother with that because they know it's low quality. I learned that. Damn near crapped my pants too. They overlook the individuals. They also know about this board and what it's for. Note we stopped making updates, posting clips and the such. And still haven't since.

If some people (no names) hadn't been so blatantly open about it and posted clips in their anxiousness, after they were told to keep it on the dl, it would have been ok and gone under the radar and not ruined it for everybody. And now here we are back at that point A. We were going to present it to the studio in hopes of getting an official release, but now we can't even do that. 

We were trying to stay low key about it for a while, but then tada. It's all back to point wait.


You guys are really overestimating how "low quality" it is. It's really not. And studios don't care about the quality of what's out there. They just care that it IS out there. And somehow I don't think they care too much about the TV version of a film that's been around for a very, very long time.

TBH, I'm not too worried about it. Someone will easily be able to do what you did and better. The hardest part is getting a hold of a print. Once they do, they'll just scan it in HD and release that which, AFAIK, you guys were never intending to do. Very, very easy and will render all this back-and-forth BS moot.

Until then, I'm happy with the version that WAS released, regardless of whether anyone in "your camp" intended it to be out there.

At the screening of ROTJ in London to mark the release of the ROTJ making of book, it was the 2011 version that was used for that digital screening, so the atlanta one may well be the 2011.


And 2 weeks ago, they ran a 35mm print of the SE here in NYC. I'm still being that's what it will be. They probably don't even know what they're going to get until it's in-house.

Is anyone going to that screening in Atlanta this Friday? That could answer a lot of questions, if it is indeed a new DCP, it would make a lot of sense for it to be this new master.

It says that it's just another SE print from 97. Considering a theater here in NYC had the exact same showing just a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to assume it's probably the same print that's making the rounds.

Well, there will be people (me included) who may want to use this as a source for their own projects and so it is important to have some very high quality release in place - if uploading is a problem, I'm sure you could find someone to send a burned disc to, who would gladly upload it for you - I'd be very happy to do it (I have a 70mbps upload on my connection) but shipping it over-seas may be quite impractical.




Me as well. IIRC, you're in Connecticut. I'm in NYC and my family is in CT. I'm happy to pick it up from you in person, to help the cause.


 Harmy is, in fact, on a different continent from you.


I wasn't talking about Harmy. I was talking about -1

Amusing that you make this statement, considering the board you're on.

You do realize that even making a copy for yourself (which you've already admitted to) is a copyright violation anyway.

And I see no monumental distance between the two shots that would warrant someone desperately searching out this underground "final version" that only an elite number of people have.

All anyone really cares about are the deleted scenes anyway.

Bottom line: relax. No one is saying you're distributing it.

With this I will definitely stick with a BD compatible stream, just like I did with SW but I may also make a cropped 4-5GB MKV version - a version like this of SW v2.5 is circulating on torrent sites, so since it's inevitably going to get made for ESB as well, it's probably better if I do it myself with HQ encoding settings and from the original lossless files.


OK sweet. So long as we're able to burn to Blu-ray, that'd be preferred (at least for me). Thank you so much!!! :)
