Odd there's no text on them, but many of the Hoth shots are prevized in these pics.

Video Collector:

Coincidence maybe, but Stephen Sansweet is head of Public Relations at Lucasfilm, I believe, and has been since the mid 90s. That makes it very likely that someone working for him would have access to the HS.

I guess Josh Ling is in trouble now...

Yup that's one of the things which makes this more substantial.  But the date Mr. Ling was offering up the tape (92) was before his work for Sansweet. (94)  The tape offering could be a reason why he got the job, on the other hand.  Sent over an e-mail, wait and see.

Received some more documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

During a meeting with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) on 03/17/2005, writer requested authorization from MPAA member companies for permission to exchange copyrighted material which is already being offered on Bit Torrent (BT) websites.  The only stipulation was that the FBI would not be originators of newly released material.  ***REDACTED*** Worldwide Enforcement, MPAA, ***REDACTED*** stated that he would request authorization and forward the documents to writer.

If i'm reading this right, does this imply that possibly the MPAA had asked in the past for the FBI to be the first leak?  Odd that they would not want to do this in the D-Elite case as they had the network compromised for multiple months.  (they had access to the harddrives which kept track of users files and downloads)

Poking through usenet, there are few mentions in the 80s, (possibly only one in 1989.  Few in 1990 and 1991, but in 1992 there was posted about the special by a 'Joshua Ling' (e-mail address (in 1992) at USC) who offered to make copies for folks:

Searching for Joshua Ling and USC brings up a LinkdIn profile which mentions:

This could be one of the people who got the tape trading going.

I go by SKot's research in this category so: http://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/versions.htm is the resource of merit.

My first copy came from a usenet resident tape trade, has a John Williams conducting piece tacked onto the end, mid to late 90s.

You_Too wrote: Every single scene would probably need tweaking on it's own if you want it to be perfect

Towards this goal, if you all find it of use, there's a spreadsheet which lists every shot in the SW films.  Feel free to take the spreadsheet and use it as a tool to help keep track of the color correction.  Maybe it's easy to drop the color correction settings into a cell/cells of the spreadsheet.  This way people could see what's been done and what's still left to do, and at the end will be a complete listing of how to color correct the films.

You_Too if you create a guide, that would be a great way to get other people involved and collaboratively with the spreadsheet, coordination of getting the whole film/s shot by shot corrected might happen a little sooner.

The spreadsheet can be found from this thread:

Does it sounds like a press event for tv or radio where they could replace the audio of the questions with a local newscaster.  Or a full event where in the background maybe you can hear the press.  (..having now read the ebay listing) Does the recording seem to be the large press event or part of the local one on one interviews, or a bit of both?

SilverWook wrote: Is this the first time a "Marquand Cut" has been acknowledged as actually existing?

The 'Director's Cut' terminology could play out different ways.  Hard to be accurate descriptive in a tweet.  But from the Preecher's book: (pg 268)

JUN 23   1st Rough Cut

JUL 7     2nd Rough Cut

JUL 28   3rd Rough Cut

AUG 6    4th Rough Cut and SCREENING

SEP 30   Director's Cut

OCT 22   Fine Cut

NOV 1    LOCK PICTURE

I think calling it a Marquand Cut is a stretch as Lucas seems to have been always around.  Speculating that Director's Cut is how they envision everything to be, but then you might have to sacrifice a scene here or there to fit the limitations of film reels and other realities of the medium.

Saw last five reels of Director's Cut of Jedi--some scenes different/longer. Saw Lucas's re-cut of sarlacc scene. Writing, up to page 40...

Watched the first seven reels of the director's cut of Revenge of the Jedi at SR this morning on a KEM; sound is really 50% of picture.

Yesterday started writing rough draft Making of Jedi. After 7 months, 530 pages, 218,000 words of research. More to do, but had to start...

Found elusive revised second draft of Jedi at SR--interesting collage script. Hit 150,000-word mark--still only research. Urk, as they say.

lots of other tidbits in his feed.

Sounds like the book is coming along with much info to be discovered.  Hope it's longer then the ESB book, which looks a little skimpy next to the SW making of book.

Wonder how close the revised second draft is this revised rough draft: http://starwarz.com/starkiller/2010/03/revenge-of-the-jedi-revised-rough-draft/

Have a first pass on all the films done, with most of the visual changes from SE to DVD and BD incorporated.  Below is this new version and a version which anyone can edit.

Not sure how this public version will work out.  But feel free to save your own copy and make changes.  If you do make a change, let me know, so I can incorporate it into a backup version.  As this is public document, it might get corrupted so might periodically revert it back to it's original state.  I guess if anyone reading does make a change, maybe change the border so it STANDS OUT.  This will make it easier to find when I do a review.

Could selected PM's be forwarded to an e-mail account?  Find that I'd like to keep some of this information, but as there is a pm limit, this would be a helpful way to clean things out.

thanks

I would guess he plays up the fussy butler image of 3po in public situations but when one on one he's normal.  He definitely hams it up for the press.  Knowing what we know of him now it's great to compare him to a post SW interview where he doesn't even know he's coming back for the sequel.

Lucas has won.

Your first statement makes the second incorrect.  According to you, Lucas won't do anything to stop a fan preservation, so the only thing holding a a fan preservation back is technological ability.  Which is something this community can learn in time.  If we can learn in time then that makes it possible for the fans to make a worthy preservation and since Lucas won't do anything about it.  C'est la vie.

I don't mean to be Debbie Downer Asshole

You do.  You're above contradiction proves it.  Embrace your Dark Side.  You generalfrevious and kenkraly200whatever should do a pod cast together.  Light Side, Dark Side, StarWarscide.  That would be great podcast/radio.

I'm not finding any reports on this.  Besides some posts in forums mentioning that it's 'Star Wars Celebration Radio' so it's possible this is a rebroadcast of the 4 days of coverage they did during Celebration V.  Would make sense to do this over the extended holiday weekend.

In the Phantom Menace credits, most 'Mc' names the 'c' is lower case and aligned bottom.  Except for Ewan McGregor which is aligned top.

You wouldn't feel the same way if you knew that generalfrevious' was human centipede raped by Hitler's childhood who lent it to George Lucas and that became Willow.  True Story.
