Can someone answer a question for me that I cant seem to find an answer to, even on Google. I feel stupid asking it becasue I should know it already. Im a bit confused when it comes to the term “non-anamorphic.” I often hear that the GOUT version is non-anamorphic, yet it looks no different than any other widescreen offering of SW.

This exact issue is part of my blog post on aspect ratios: https://doubleofive.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/aspect-ratios-a-primer/

Another “leaked hint” ?

(scroll to page 3)

https://www.primefocustechnologies.com/sites/default/files/files-uploaded/4K_Remastering_Upconversion_Audio_Services_Factsheet.pdf

They’re referring here to the OT remastered by Lowry Digital. What stands out is the fact that they’re talking about “grain reduction and dust and dirt removal”, which wouldn`t be necessary if they would’ve to remaster the 2004/2011 versions of the films.

We pretty much know the now infamous Lowry 4K scan is of the negative, which would be the '97. The '04 version is based off a 2K scan of that negative.

Confirmed by the fact that you can see the 97 Jabba tail in this wipe.

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but will ESB:R have a track with pop-up changes like the ANH:R DVD? I found this useful, especially when showing it to my kids.

Ady has said that the changes in ESB:R are far too numerous for a pop-up to keep up with. I do think there will be a comparison image gallery. If Ady doesn’t make it, I’m pretty sure someone (005?) will.

If Ady provides the split screen for me, but even then I’d miss a bunch of stuff. I think Ady is going to provide me the pictures like he did for ANHR and I’ll just host them on our SWR Google Photos.

Last time I saw Pablo comment, he said this:

@pablohidalgo said:

As far as I know, there’s only one person who could make this happen and he hasn’t seemed all that interested.

He’s apparently shifting this onto Lucas. Which doesn’t make sense if Fox and Disney are meeting with Verta on his restoration. But if they had one of their own, they wouldn’t be meeting with Verta saying “we have one, thanks.” I guess we’ll find out at Celebration.

He didn’t pitch his meeting as an offering of the unaltered version of Star Wars.

What exactly was the situation with that meeting?

Did it ever even happen?

I have no idea if it happened, I just know that the way he described it seemed like something that could have easily been misinterpreted as having little to do with Star Wars. It’s hard to say though.

It happened, and Disney said it wasn’t up to them and set a meeting with Fox.
