There you go. It's the most recent issue...which I apparently got over 2 weeks ago :)

I had a project that I bought off of someone YEARS ago. If you'd like, I could check and see if you're missing any of the ones from there. It's an awesome compilation.

I honestly don't think George cares any more. I truly believe that this really stemmed from his wife getting half of those royalties. I always thought that story was true.

Now, that would be out of the picture and he wouldn't care what happens with that money.

I'm betting it happens in 2015.

drngr...how do you do your Vudu captures?

More 35mm film from the archives getting scanned and sold that isn't the actual movie. They're just screwing with me at this point.

 They have been screwing with us for a very long time....

Just more bonus stuff to eventually get released on the OOT Blu-Rays. ;-)

Imagine if they released 1 every 2 years to coincide with the new films? Damn.

 

Lucasfilm publically stated seven years ago that they don't have any future plans to restore these films.

Lucas himself have stated that they are dead to him and that he wish they disappear, when being confronted with this question he always give weak excuses not to do it.

Rick Mccallum said in an interview a few months ago that "officially it will never happen."

About four years until we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the death of the Original Trilogy.

I'm pretty sure those extra clips will look like crappy 360p YouTube vids. So basically it's (possibly great) material going to waste, because of no proper release.

Yeah, from what Rintzler said in the interview, there's going to be a TON of extra stuff. Whereas the print book may have had 1 picture of something, the digital might have 5-10. And there's going to be clips: specifically what was mentioned was the crew roaming around the Death Star, an alternate version of the Luke Hoth scar restoration, etc.

I'll try and scan the important parts when I get back home today.

I can only imagine that the file sizes for these books is going to be huge.

My apologies if this has been mentioned already but there's an article in the newest Star Wars Insider about the digital editions of the "making of" books that is coming out in the fall. It's mentioned that additional deleted scenes/dailies will be included in them.

Sucks that they couldn't be put into another boxed set. I'm reminded of the "Making Magic" set...

I guess we'll only have crappy quality versions of them.

dfnyc, have you uploaded "I Knew it Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale" yet? Just wondering, no rush.

There was also this DTS edition from Japan.

I used to have it. I must have thrown it out, I guess. Unless I threw it in a closet somewhere.

Like I said...the Blu-ray is supposed to be coming out this year. I'd wait before going through the trouble.

The BD is coming out this year. I would wait.

So they're cutting up a perfectly good 35mm print for this?

Don't know if anyone had mentioned this but the cards are coming out next month.

How's the quality? I'm thinking of getting the Empire one.
Since all I have are re-print posters anyway, a vinyl banner might be cooler ;)

Saw this on LDDB about Evita:

"The DVD, Criterion LD, DTS LD and standard LD all used the same director approved video transfer. The DVD and AC-3 encoded LD's used a 16-bit audio master that was remixed slightly for home use. The DTS LD utilized a 20-bit master taken from the same master used to make the theatrical digital sound prints and thus the DTS Digital Surround LD sounds quite a bit different, and better, than the DVD and AC-3 LD releases. Because of the changes to the AC-3 versions, the DTS LD needs THX re-equalization for proper playback in the home while the other releases do not."

Would really love that DTS track.

You really should do 1080p. 720 is almost archaic in this day and age.

How is DVD-Lab for authoring BluRays?  I've been using it for the puggo projects (just DVDs), and I'm not nearly exercising all it can do.  But it has seemed quite easy to use.  Cheap, too.

Checked the disc. The interviews are contained in a 5-minute featurette, the disc also contains cast text biographies in the form of still images.

I don't think either of these extras appear on the later 3-disc Special Edition release, the VCI release is now out of print but you should be able to get it easily on eBay UK (the cover looks like <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160935689410">this</a>).<span style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;"> </span>

God, I can't wait to download the Blu-ray version! Harmy, I'm drooling!! :)

Moth3r,

Thanks so much for responding!! You should have a PM. I'd appreciate anyone's help with this! :)
