Is The Secret History of Star Wars available as an ebook?
No, but I click the button to "tell the publisher you want this on Kindle" every time I see it! ;-)

 I've been pushing the idea of an ebook on my publisher for a while now. I'm working on a second edition of the printed version which hopefully will be available by this christmas, and I'm hoping there will be a digital copy of this available.

 

Will it be updated or revised?

 Quite heavily, yes.

 Oy vey.  Looks like I'll be re-purchasing :)

Info Wanted: HD Documentary Preservations?
Time

Has anyone preserved a lot of the documentaries that are out there in HD?  Is there a list of them?

Off the top of my head, I can think of:

ILM

Star Wars Tech

Star Wars The Legacy Revealed

“Science of Star Wars: Space Cowboys”

“Science of Star Wars: War, Weaponry and the Force”

“Science of Star Wars: Man and Machine”

Wishful Drinking (not technically a documentary but…)

(Also, on the subject of using TV broadcasts to predict possible future blu-rays, Raiders is on USA this week, if anyone is curious to see if that new CGI cliff is still in there.)

I've seen Raiders twice now on TV recently, and both times I'd swear that cliff scene looks different (and I liked the original vfx). I don't recall it ever being mentioned as a change in the film, other than the boulder poles, snake reflection, truck pole that were digitally removed. Damn. More LFL meddling...

 That's because it's new.  That's a new change for the HD version.

I can't believe people are judging a future (a year off still?!) bluray release on some screen caps from a documentary! There's every chance they - the makers of the documentary - grabbed what was available AT THE TIME when making it. Wouldn't surprise me if Lucasfilm are going through the films in order, or at least prequals first as they'd need less work than the originals in terms of bringing them to bluray. They're probably working on the originals now which is why they had to use the current transfers in that documentary.

It's not over till it's over, and a lot can happen in a year.......!

To pronounce you know what the new bluray transfers will look like from watching a documentary is pretty far-fetched IMHO and more than a little reactionary!

 Awww...how idealistic of you.

If you don't think the films from this set are done at this point, you're kidding yourself.

I'm recording it in HD.

Hi Digitalfreaknyc,

Is this something you're planning to preserve?

DVD-BOY

 Of course.  That's why I'm recording it.

I have no idea how many people are able to burn blu-ray's though.

Did you ever release True Lies?

 No.  I've been burning so many blu-ray's lately that I never released.  Something 20gigs's is going to take a couple of weeks for me to seed.  That's a lot of dedictation.
