‘An Interview With Former Star Wars Modeler Lorne Peterson’:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WP5MKWGCrs - a 41 minute video at the Adam Savage’s Tested youtube channel.
The blurb: 'Adam Savage interviews Academy Award-winning special effects artist Lorne Peterson, whose work includes Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Last Ark, Star Wars and E.T. An industry veteran, Lorne gives Adam his thoughts on the current state of filmmaking and shares what it was like being a pioneer of modern-day cinema, thinking out of the box and mastering the art of creative problem solving. What an honor!

‘Star Wars: Original Trilogy Music Mix (Relaxing, Nostalgic) VHS Sound Quality’:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMywm5W8T9c - a 2 hour video from the Helix youtube channel.
The blurb: ‘Sit back and enjoy the nostalgic sounds of the original VHS-audio soundtracks–specifically a relaxing mix of low-energy or calm theme songs without combat music or too much drama. For some of us, Star Wars was just the Original Trilogy for over 20 years, before any serious new movies came out. 20 years of games, books, comics, shows, and more…all dreaming of what the original three established for us. This music mix is for a quick trip back to that time–a time when we still didn’t even know what the Clone Wars looked like, and we could only dream. And a time when crossed wires and old, heavily-used tapes from Blockbuster sounded a little rough. But we made do. 😃’

The blurb: ‘The Jacob vintage Star Wars collection recently went on auction with some of the rarest Star Wars toys on the planet. Let’s see what the top vintage items sold for.’
A bit too much of ‘the highest possible grading in the world’ for me 😉 Yet an insightful video all the same… especially given some of the eye watering prices that some of these OT pieces went for (plus a few vintage pieces from outside the GFFA).
‘The STAR WARS Trilogy | A Complete Retrospective - 1’:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMF1PgaIdJk - a 2 hour 40 minute video from the Prime’s Theater youtube channel.
The blurb: 'It’s the mid-1970s, and George Lucas is working on his most ambitious movie yet: a space opera following rebels, imperials, wizards, and space-ships.
Little did anyone know that it would become one of the biggest and most revolutionary movies of all time.
Take a journey from 1973 to 1983 to witness the creation, triumphs, and defeats of the original Star Wars trilogy. From the creation of the story to the dawn of ILM and even to the great reception over time.’

The blurb: ‘Nathan P. Butler asks Star Wars home video trivia questions (and provides answers at the end). The audience is invited to play along and post their scores. Each video includes 10 questions, and viewers may keep track of their score for a single episode or the series as a whole (hence numbering each episode for the next 10, rather than starting back at 1 each time)’.
I got 7/10 (and am quite happy with that).
A lot of fun - and well presented and hosted by Nathan (as ever). Looking forward to more…
You may want to ask any questions for 4K80 in the 4K80 thread? - In the Star Wars Preservation forum. 👍
It may also be worth skimming through the 4K80 thread to see if your questions have already been answered.
| If anyone would like links to any of the available Original Trilogy preservations listed in here… send me a PM - thank you. 👍 |
|---|
^ So please do NOT make any ‘request for links’ posts in this thread - and actually send me a PM, instead. Thanks.
The reason why there is a 30+ post requirement for these 250+ projects… is to try and encourage members to engage more as a community on here - to join in with the discussions across the various forums. Maybe learning about how projects are made, and consider undertaking their own project - or just chill out and talk about the OT, the GFFA, and film & TV… or life in general.
A bit like it used to be on here - before the influx of newer members only asking for links - not leaving any feedback or reviews - nor joining in with any of the discussions across the forums. Not even trying to help fellow members by answering questions or pointing them to relevant threads and useful info. Or often not bothering to read the rules about the place - or look up or learn on how to ask for a project on here… instead just filling up project threads with unnecessary ‘link request’ posts… and little else.
^ So this is an attempt to remedy that… to get back to how things used to function quite well on here… and also serve as a reminder that anyone can become a helpful and valued asset to the unique community… that is this old-school Rebel base. 👍
You don’t have to be a fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just be a member that is making an effort on here.

This is superb - and plays flawlessly. Just a simple double-click… and it all works so very well.
Wow! I’m just going through more of your project now - it is as if you have transported me back in time some 30 years! 👍
I love it - all credit to everyone involved! ‘Making Magic’ as well, even the chess game too! 😃
So many old memories on the ‘Behind The Magic’ and ‘Making Magic’ sections! I’m very much looking forward to exploring this some more.
Also, that is cracking website you have in the linktree - looking forward to also exploring that soon.
Thank you, MasterKal.
Edit: With the kind permission of MasterKal, the is now also available in a ‘legacy list’ of OT projects, here:-
📍 A few available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍

If anyone has a preservation project for any Polish release or Polish TV broadcast for the Original Trilogy please let us know 👍
📍 A few available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍
Off topic is now on its deathbed…
The post frequency is akin to a day on Venus.
Then why not attempt to make a change to remedy that, mate?
Get together with the people who do post here… and attempt to make a grouped effort to post and participate more; to encourage each other, listen and talk with each other, to look for and post up some… interesting, insightful, engaging or just fun content… in a bid to making this section a more livelier part of the forum - enticing others to also join in and post on a more regular basis.
Maybe encourage the members who only make post after post asking for ‘project links’ in the four Fan Project forums… to join in the discussions across the board… including ‘Off Topic’ (as well as encouraging them to at least leave some feedback or reviews for the projects they desperately want to acquire. For them to become an actual member and a part of the community here - which in turn would likely help get them acquire the projects they find so ‘difficult’ to acquire.
I have been hunting a set (from each country) for while now. I’ll be sure to preserve them once I obtain them 😃
I love this site! 😃
Thanks so much. Keep us posted with how you get on? 😄
I am pleased to announce that I have finally acquired the complete Japanese trilogy of Star Wars on Video 8. Hard to believe its taken this long, not to mention the cost that had come with it!
I am now half-way into completing the preservation process, all I need is a deck. Similarly, they too are expensive to acquire especially for a decent one. I am currently eyeing one out and it will cost a tone to import.
Cheers,
RUKUS
Hi RUKUS,
Did you manage to complete a preservation of these beautiful looking releases?
Also, did you manage to get hold of a deck? Or find a decent local transfer service for ‘Video8 to digital format’ etc?
I’d be willing to help out if any assistance is required. 👍
I have the Japan trilogy on 8mm. Pics of them posted here are mine.
Screen is 4:3 and have japanese subtitles (white fonts)
Quality images Masterkal - thank you. 👍
Did you make a digitised preservation of the Original Trilogy on Video8 that you’d be willing to share or make available?
^ Tuesday 22nd April for the long anticipated season 2 of Andor can’t come soon enough 👍
Anyone undertaking ‘a weekly re-watch’ for season 1 of Andor - to lead-in to the season 2 premiere - should likely start it next week (starting 28th January).

^ ‘Men and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.’
Another dystopian series… just finished season 2 and enjoyed it (especially the slower pacing of this season) - and think I’ll give the books a go soon, too.
