What was the name of the documentary that was shown in the UK on “Premier” and had the b-roll of Dave Prowse life cast?? I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it. Pretty sure Brian Muir was in the doc too.

Argh… that has bugged me most of the afternoon, mate. I wanted to say ‘The Men Behind The Mask’… but that wasn’t right.
 

You’re referring to this doc, Jamie?:-

and a couple more images, here: https://vaderbase.com/entstehung.html ?
 

^ If so, I think it may be Sky TV’s 1999 ‘Making of the Myth’ documentary (narrated by Anthony Daniels).

As you can imagine, I’m here also looking for a link.

I’ve not actually watched any of the LOTR movies, but I’m working my way through the books and then watching the films afterwards. I want to see them in the best quality possible and extended, and my streaming services just don’t provide that for me.

So I’m very interested in the (DrD)remaster.

I think high quality content.

Thank in advanced to anyone who may send me a link.

Yeah, the video title is a type of clickbaity / algorithm-friendly one all to familiar of late on youtube.

Many good and agreeable points are made in the 15 minute video - yet I do have the feeling he was approaching the subject as a ‘gotcha’ at fan preservationists - rather than presenting a balanced essay on the topic. That’s a pity - but it is just one person’s opinion… and that of someone who has seemingly struggled in doing their research and in portraying much equilibrium. (The other attempt at a ‘gotcha’ by the video maker certainly backfired when reading VennyRestore’s comments on that particular topic.)

For me, the claim that print scans are “lies” is… inane to the point of being disingenuous. Followed by the lip-service at the end of the video is an all too familiar cop out (and a poor attempt at a disclaimer).

Agreed with your, tamir, bilditup1, and VennyRestore’s posts in the comment section of the video (still making my way through others).
 

Dek Rollins nailed it on the head for me in his post in the video comments section…

The issue with the Se7en 35mm scan comparisons is that this scan was actually calibrated, but the version of the scan in your video, that people are using as a reference point against the new UHD, is a regrade and doesn’t represent the actual calibrated scan. The print that was scanned is darker for one thing. Now the UHD still doesn’t look like the calibrated print scan, but the comparison is itself flawed because of what you discussed in the second half of the video. Many of the scans that get out in the wild are graded entirely to one person’s apparent preferences. But there are also many scans that use some sort of proper calibration.

I disagree with the premise that print scans are always “lying” and that directors/cinematographers should be trusted to be telling the truth in this regard. Subjectivity to some extent will always come into play when color correcting something, but calibrated print scans (of low-fade/unfaded prints) can at least reveal when an official remaster is way off base, by providing a ball park estimate of what the projected prints looked like.

That guy with no name said:

In 1997, as part of the restoration, the newly assembled negative was scanned and digitally restored in 2k. does this mean that there is currently a 2k file of the original film(s) sitting in lucasfilm archive?

Yeah, and it is probably still sitting there - a pity it was never used for a 25th anniversary release for the 1997 SE (such a pity that the 1997 Special Edition has never had a digital home format release - other than on the awful VCD format) - despite them having ‘a perfect print’ all ready to go.

^ doubleofive is probably the guy for more info on that (amongst other far more knowledgeable souls than me on here).

There is a fair bit of information on the 1997 Special Editions, here:-

• 1997 SE : The changes to the OT films & general 1997 Special Edition discussion thread

• An Index & Help Thread for Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases - and scroll down to the ‘1997 SE’ category of ‘The various Releases / Editions / Sets / Versions (and the changes to them)…’ - there are a few threads listed which may be of interest.

• 1997 Special Edition OT Preservation Projects (+ discussion threads) - in An Index & Help Thread for Star Wars Preservations

^ and probably a few more 1997 Special Edition info/discussion threads in Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases.

desertfox’s 2006 GOUT DVD - VEAI Enhanced 1080p Upscale (Released)

 
^ posted with kind permission by desertfox on TSWT…

The following Project Description is taken from TSWT…
 

'Here are my 1080p Full HD encodes of NTSC GOUT for all 3 movies of Original SW Trilogy.

Movies first appeared on 2006 and 2008 Limited Edition DVD sets. No correction has been done to the pictures regarding gamma, contrast, brightness and saturation. Also, no additional audio tracks or subtitles were added.

I only applied simple video enhancement using AI which gave the picture more details, especially faces, hair. It generated some sharpness, clarity and removed artificial static noise/grain so I find it to be now more eye pleasing.

As with any other AI, the artifacts are introduced in a form of fine vertical textures and you can see most of it in the first two movies.

ROTJ almost doesn’t have any artifacts.

Each movie is around 4 or 5gb in size.

Screenshots for each movie are provided’.
 

^ from https://forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com/threads/star-wars-the-original-unaltered-trilogy-gout-as-a-bonus-2006-2008-dvd-veai-enhanced-1080p.7490/
 

Star Wars: 4.4gb - an mp4 file.
Empire Strikes Back: 3.7gb - an mp4 file.
Return Of The Jedi: 4.7gb - an mp4 file.

Screenshots…
 

Available via 📍 A few available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍 - or on the TSWT forum.

All credit and kudos to desertfox for a quality 1090p VEAI upscale project for the 2006 GOUT DVDs.

The gif is very choppy for me - though that looks to be some quality work in removing the Jawa’s cart from the scene.

‘Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Returns to Theaters’ (at the official Star Wars website):-

Episode III will play in select cinemas for a limited time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film’s debut.
 

a snippet…

'Anakin Skywalker is about to bring peace, freedom, justice, and security to his new Empire on the big screen.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, the final film in the prequel trilogy, Episode III will be re-released in theaters on April 25, 2025, running in select U.S. theaters and international territories for one week only. Screenings will be available in several formats, including, for the first time, 4DX. From the exhilarating battles over the planet of Coruscant to the fiery volcanic high grounds of Mustafar, relive this pivotal chapter in the Skywalker saga; the 4DX experience features high-tech motion chairs that sync with over 21 effects, all designed to complement the narrative of the film.’

This isn’t too surprising considering they’ve done this for the previous 2 Prequel films (I think? Maybe nobody bothered with AOTC? TPM definitely did get a limited theatrical re-release) - and also shown the 2011SE / 2019SE cuts of the OT for the 40th anniversaries. Though good news for the ROTS fans among us.

Personally, I was hoping Andor season 2 was somehow going to be shown on the big screen - even if it did mean going to the cinema every week for four weeks - a bit like the old days when cinemas had an assortment of new, good and intriguing films to show.

UPDATE: February 18, 2025

The Saul Zaentz Company headed by his nephew Paul has delivered in an enormous way. This reconstruction is no longer necessary and has been retired. Please support the official release of the theatrical cut of Amadeus.

Custom syncs of Laserdisc and DVD audio tracks and original commentary to be made available separately to mux with your copy of the UHD.

You delivered a pretty awesome project yourself, jimbotron235 - and brought a lot of happiness and enjoyment to fans who wished to experience a quality Theatrical Cut preservation of Amadeus.

All credit and kudos to you - and many thanks for all your hard work on this. 👍

‘Lucasfilm Boss Kathleen Kennedy Expected to Retire This Year’:-

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-kathleen-kennedy-lucasfilm-1235282440
 

 
'After more than a decade in a galaxy far, far away, Kathleen Kennedy is charting a course toward retirement. The Lucasfilm boss has told associates she plans to retire by the end of 2025, Puck reported Monday night.

Reps for Kennedy and Lucasfilm were not immediately available for comment.

Kennedy joined Lucasfilm in 2012 as co-chair alongside Star Wars creator George Lucas, and a few months later took the reins after Disney paid $4 billion for the company and Lucas exited.

She relaunched the franchise, beginning with J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), which grossed more than $2 billion globally and reinvigorated the property as a big screen brand. Disney released a Star Wars film every year from 2015-2019 and then took a pause following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which received a mixed response and earned just half of what Force Awakens had brought in just a few years earlier.

As Lucasfilm boss, Kennedy held one of the most visible and scrutinized jobs in Hollywood, and it was not always smooth sailing. She fired Chris Lord and Phil Miller as directors of Solo: A Star Wars Story in the middle of production. (The film went on to be the first Star Wars movie to lose money theatrically.) She also sidelined Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards, replacing him with Tony Gilroy, who was brought on to oversee reshoots. (The film became a $1 billion hit). Other projects were promised that never materialized, such as Rian Johnson’s trilogy, and another one overseen by Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Benioff and David Weiss. Daisy Ridley’s upcoming return to Star Wars has been languishing in development since being announced to fanfare almost two years ago.

But even as Star Wars struggled to return to the big screen, the franchise found newfound life on Disney+, with The Mandalorian launching in November 2019 along with the streaming service. It became a breakout hit, spawning multiple spinoffs, including the critically acclaimed Andor, which returns for a second season in April, as well multiple shows that failed to hit the zeitgeist and sparked worries of diluting the Star Wars brand.

Coming up, Lucasfilm has The Mandalorian and Grogu from director Jon Favreau due out May 22, 2026 as the first big screen outing for the franchise since Rise of Skywalker.

Kennedy’s storied career includes work with Steven Spielberg and husband Frank Marshall, with collaborations including Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Gremlins (1984), The Color Purple (1985), The Goonies (1985), Empire of the Sun (1987), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990) and the Indiana Jones films, which concluded with last year’s Dial of Destiny. In all, she has produced or executive produced more than 70 films and been nominated for eight Oscars.

The news comes ahead of April’s Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, where the future of the Star Wars franchise is expected to be unveiled.’

A thousand toxic politicised click-bait youtube channels rejoice in the fact after 10 years… they’re finally correct in claiming Kennedy will leave Lucasfilm… and will be shortly putting up new content (including thumbnails of Kathleen Kennedy with red laser eyes) to let everyone know they were ‘right’ all along. 😉

Serious-wise… an interesting line at the end of the article where it states 'April’s Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, where the future of the Star Wars franchise is expected to be unveiled.'…

27th February Edit: the above article from The Hollywood Reporter - and Puck - was incorrect (once again)…
 

Kathleen Kennedy Speaks On Her Lucasfilm Plans — She Is Not Soon Retiring — & The Films That Will Keep Her In ‘Star Wars’ Orbit For Years To Come - a sit-down interview with Kathleen Kennedy herself, at Deadline.
 

Kathleen Kennedy…

“The truth is, and I want to just say loud and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire from movies. I will die making movies. That is the first thing that’s important to say. I am not retiring. What’s happening at Lucasfilm is I have been talking for quite some time with both Bob and Alan about what eventual succession might look like. We have an amazing bench of people here, and we have every intention of making an announcement months or a year down the road. We are in lockstep as to what that’s going to be, and I am continuing. I’m producing the Mandalorian movie right now, and I’m also producing Shawn Levy’s movie, which is after that. So I’m continuing to stay at Lucasfilm and looking very thoughtfully with Bob and Alan as to who’s stepping in. So that is all underway, and we have every right to make that announcement when we want to make it.”

The whole Deadline interview linked above is well worth a read.
