Nice find 😃

At https://goldenoldieads.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/star-wars-promo-1978-teac-tape-decks - in the comments section there is someone who claims to have created that very promotion for TEAC - and got to meet some of the Star Wars team.
 

The ad also appears on here - https://museumofmagneticsoundrecording.org/UniqueB.html - not much info, unfortunately (though still some cool and intriguing other content and gadgets).
 

Spuffure… as others have said in here over some time now, reach out and get some help. If talking to friends or family is not possible… then try a counsellor, therapist, or other medical professional.

Meanwhile, read Malthus’ (and others in here) sound advice above again.
 

Positive waves coming your way Spuffure. Though having a chat with someone… a professional in a position to be of help to you, will help. Don’t put it off, don’t make an excuse - or say to yourself you’ll do it tomorrow, or next week, or whenever (as so many of us do) - do it today; now. After all, it is only a talk - it is what you are doing on here now - but it will be with someone who may very likely be able help you.

Anyone know if this 2019 18 disc Blu-ray set has the new scans with the color correction?

Yes mate, they are the new 2019 Special Edition releases - aka the ‘Maclunkey’ version.

This thread may be of some help trying to ascertain the difference between the two differing sets - 2019 re-release of the 2011 Special Edition version, and the 2019 ‘Maclunkey’ Special Edition:-

The 2019 re-release of the Original Trilogy films on blu ray & DVD (2011 SE version)

A little bump - and this is more on the N64 / cancelled XBLA HD remake version of GoldenEye…
 

GoldenEye - the cancelled remaster done by Rare back in 2008 for the Xbox Live… has been leaked online… and is playable.

‘GoldenEye 007 XBLA (2007) - Longplay’ (in HD & 60 fps):-

Dark Empire: Episode 2 - Devastator of Worlds:-

‘Years after the battle of Endor, a new danger threatens the galaxy. It’s up to Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie to once more rise to the challenge! The second episode in the ongoing Dark Empire fan series.’

• Dark Empire trilogy | 1991-1995 EU comic series | a general discussion thread

• Star Wars: Lightsider - by Tom Veitch (LEAKED)

• RIP Tom Veitch, 1941-2022

^ ‘It was Tom Veitch who persuaded George himself & also Lucasfilm that bringing back Star Wars would work, both artistically and financially, for the 1990s.’ It is also worth remembering that Dark Empire was originally written & set before Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy.

A mate back in the 80’s had one of these (or something very similar to it):-

In our group of like-minded video nuts… who’d happily spend hours trying to work out which of all of us had the best tv and video record to watch films rented overnight from the local rental videoshop on…and NOT whose mum had the best coke & biscuits in - we had some shocking priorities back then 😉

The 80’s ‘fuzz’ and wavy images on the screens all added to the vibe of the films for us - especially on those low-budget horror films like Puppet Master, the Hammer Horrors and even sci-fi films like the OT, The Last Starfighter, Battle Beyond The Stars etc.

I do remember us trying to record the hired OT tapes by rigging up two VHS machines together - and the rigmarole involved in doing it… sometimes successfully, many times not (or the quality being so bad it was not worth the effort!)
 

Top thread screams, I may try and see if the old video player still works over the weekend, and give Star Wars (a '95 Faces tape) a watch on it…
 

Hi Benjamin K.,

Hopefully you’ll find some art that you can use for your project in the following threads…

njvc’s Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)

stealthboy’s Criterion-like box set for njvc’s custom blu-ray set

Rikter’s The Harmy’s Despecialized Edition Blu-ray covers for NJVC v.1 and v.1 BD-25 discs

Harmy’s Blu-Ray and other HD box size STAR WARS covers

and there should also be some listed in the…

An Index & Help Thread for Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art…
 

Much of the more art above, and indeed some the regular Depsecialized art could be adapted / edited to suit your needs - with some sets not having the actual details on the back - and so could be used for more generic projects.

Good luck with it - and please post up your finished project here too 👍
 

Good result for your boys last night, Stardust1138 👍

Tuchel seems a very marmite type of manager with fans (though most of us fans are quick to judge and quite fickle! 😃)
 

Man City up for my lot on Sunday, hopefully should be easier to play against than some of the organised and resolute low-block teams we’ve struggled to break down of late…

Good to see Ewan call out some of recent tabloid articles on the shooting of the Kenobi series as bullshit - as well as some info on how they are filming the series, where, and when - as well as the ‘green screen’ on the Prequels…

Also, the reason why Eddie Izzard is doing interviews (with many people) on his treadmill is…

Rikter has a couple of 4KXX cover & disc art threads with some artwork that may suit?

Plus, Williarob’s 4K77 Artwork thread has some quality work in there - some of which is quite retro.

Good luck with it 👍

I love occasionally necrobumping a thread.

Have a wonderful evening everyone, and may we meet again on the morrow 😃

Some threads could do with a good necrobump! 👍

This is so confusing. I hadn’t realized Disney did a 2018 reissue with new mixes after Sony did the big LP boxset which was from the album versions. I never got the Sony release and now regret it I suppose.
The video indicates that there’s a new remaster and restoration of the complete film scores…but the 2018 disney cds with the same art have the same old track listings as the LPs and no bonuses. And this video is from this year…

Send me a PM and I may be able to help you out there with acquiring a backup copy of the ‘The Ultimate Digital Collection’ (as you already own have the 2018 set) - a small token of appreciation for your all your projects, efforts, and quality and insightful posts on here. 👍

2025 Edit: someone kindly pointed me I to a new better quality copy of this set online, on the archive.

A little more info on the 89-track 2016 release by Sony (4+ hours, ~8.8gb total; with tracks available in both flac or mp3 format)…

'Gordy Haab’s award-winning scores for the video games “Star Wars: Battlefront” and “Star Wars: Battlefront II” are about to be released by Walt Disney Records.

“Battlefront” is slated to hit digital retail and streaming services at midnight Eastern time tonight, 9 pm Pacific time; “Battlefront II” will land on Feb. 5.’
 

More info in the linked article above.
 

Not enough time for Lampard there - and hard to see why Chelsea went for Tuchel to replace him… time will tell, I suppose.

Given the money spent on new players at Chelsea of late it’ll be interesting to see if Tuchel has been given immediate funds to to bring in a few of his own players as well - or if he will have to ‘sell to buy’ (in the summer).

How do you think Tuchel will fare, Stardust1138?
 

Chelsea vs Wolves, in a few minutes should be a decent game.

Anyone else like Rogue One? I feel like the only person.

I love it - probably the best Star Wars film since Empire for me, and I can happily sit back, re-watch and still enjoy it any time.

Though I’d still love to see the version of the film before the re-shoots - or even the many discarded & unused / alternative scenes…
 

Great Scott!
