You forgot all the scenes included in the Rinzler ebooks for example.
I decided to put here just video clips, that could eventually be used for restoration projects. So, if they are video, please let me know more, thanks, and I’ll add them to the first post.
Yes, they are videos, although low quality.
So it looks like the Inhumans movie has been cancelled and we get an Inhumans TV show instead

Does it mean that this is the last season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Not sure what should I think about the green panels, but otherwise than that I love it
Well, Mike Verta has stated they’re slightly green/mint, and check out these screengrabs from the Japanese Special Collection laserdisc:
Sorry, I should be more precise. I wasn’t talking about this, I was talking about the green in the scene where R2D2 receives the plans from Leia

According to the latest info it takes place 10 years before TOS

Updated the first post. According to Star Wars Year By Year the tractor beam line was first included in the July 1978 theatrical re-release.
16mm or 35mm. If 16mm, didn’t we know that already?
Definitely in my top 10
And maybe it’s a good idea to configure the server to NOT show the stack, it’s not very secure
The colours look really nice.
However there are some problems in the DNRed video. Watch closely the white door and the white panels behind R2 - it almost looks like some “mist” going from the bottom to the top. It’s not in the “no DNR” version
Hi guys, any updates on your cooperation?
OK, I’m not sure if the colours are correct but the sample “feels” like a 70’s movie, which is of course a good thing
That seems to take it a bit far, it is almost washed out now…
It’s a bit too bright, but it’s not far off from the contrast and saturation of the preliminary results I posted before the hight contrast/saturation version. However, we aim to please, so how about this:
I think even this one is too far
96% on Rotten Tomatoes? What the …?
So I’ve just finished Luke Cage. It took me 3 times longer than the previous Netflix shows. I definitely did not expect that it will be so boring…
I would definitely LOVE to see a 4K scan with those colours
Thanks none, unfortunately many if not most of the pics are gone already 😦 I want to prepare some video(s) comparing all the versions, so now at least I know which sources I should check
I agree, beautiful colours
Before I started to read this forum more than a decade ago I thought that Star Wars has 3(4) versions - an “original” version which was called just “Star Wars”, an “original” version called Episode 4 A New Hope, the 1997 special edition and the 2004 DVD (I am talking about time long before the 2011 Blu-rays).
However during the years so many new discoveries were done by various members of this forum, who had access to let’s call it “unofficial versions”, but I can’t find anywhere some thread which would contain all the information in one spot, so I’m trying to start one 😃
So the main question I hope somebody here will be able to answer is HOW MANY versions of Star Wars exist? Right now I mean only the firsts movie.
1977 - 2 types of prints were released, 35mm prints with stereo audio and 70mm prints with 4.2 audio. I think that people who examined the 70mm recording claim that both the stereo and the 6 channel mix have the same content, just mixed differently, and that the 70mm version is just a “blow up” of the 35mm negatives, so if I understand it correctly, “content-wise” the 35mm versions and the 70mm versions should be exactly the same, correct?
However somebody (none? negative1 ?) posted here pictures of different composites of the leaving Yavin 4 scene, one version had clouds and the second one didn’t if I remember correctly, I can’t find the pictures anymore. Also the closing credits were different, I think that John Williams’s name was separated from the orchestra? Does anybody here know what’s the connection, in other words can we say that e.g. the version with the cloudy composites has the Williams name and the orchestra name separated? In yet another words, are these 2 versions or 4 versions or “x” versions?
1978 - the 16mm version was released with the unique mono mix. However the “visual content” was the same, right?
1981 - the movie was retitled to A New Hope and has a new crawl, plus if I remember correctly a new starfield in the opening shot.
1985 - new home video release with a new sound mix (‘The tractor beam’), but the video should be the same? Just cropped to 4:3, right?
1993 - new mix and horrible DVNR but the same visual content
1997 - the famous special edition
2004 - the DVD version
2011 - the Blu-ray version.
Is that all? I remember also the canyon sequence and binary sunset were artificially darkened for some versions, also the color grading was different for the sunset scene, but I have no clue in which versions which changes were done.
Also wasn’t there at least one (or more) differently edited 8mm releases?
And the final question - what are the best sources for all the pre-1985 versions?
Thanks
Either Lucas botched it or it’s “a deliberate artistic choice”. Or Lowry botched it and Lucas just didn’t care.
Lowry have received a color “corrected” scan, they didn’t touch the colors themselves, that was done at Lucasfilm
They didn’t lucas just gave them a print that was corrected in a machine without actual care.
That’s why I put the “corrected” in parentheses.
What does “Spic” mean?

Here is an alternative color grading:
This looks kind of “crushed”. Hope you know what I mean, there is almost no detail in the bright areas (walls) and dark areas
Dammit, that’s sad news.Can the data still be copied? There are companies who can do it in the case you will find that nobody else has something
Your regrades look really great
