This is what was reported  for the SE versions:

========================================

It ultimately cost $15 million to restore all three films. Fox, which owns "Star Wars," put up $10 million to refurbish the film. Lucas, who owns the subsequent films, contributed $5 million to revamp "The Empire Strikes Back," which arrives Feb. 21, and "Return of the Jedi," due out March 7. (Fox will spend in excess of $15 million to launch the re-release.)

Disney would be fortunate to be able to come up with any money near that amount to restore the originals. Although, there are a lot more variables to contend with now, than there were in the past. So taking into account inflation and other variables, it would definitely be higher than that.

 Come on, (I hope) you know they have done something completely different than we want from them !

I still fail to understand how/why it should be expensive. To release a HD scan of the OUT, you need

- good looking prints - they have them

- a HD film scanner - they have them

- a person who can scan film - they have them

- a person who is able to take HD files and author a BD out of them - they PROBABLY have these persons

- designers (menus, covers, etc)

- marketing team - they have them

So sorry, what costs? They have the people, they have the equipment and they have the prints, and I'm pretty sure such a release would be considered "good enough" for most of us

Look to the bottom right corner of the screen at the boxes, especially on the black areas. What happened? I can not stop watching there :)

Everybody looks like they ate too much carrot but otherwise than that it looks beautiful

Great! But I think you went a bit too far, NeverarGreat

The colours look indeed great

2 questions

1) the sound is slightly off - is it just my computer/player/codec(s)?

2) there are some parts in the sound mix which I don't remember hearing anywhere else. Just one random example - the stormtroopers walking on the bridge in the scene where Ben shuts down the tractor beam. But the truth is I'm not really used to listen to Star Wars in English, so does anybody have an idea if it's just a problem with my memory?

Well I read the description and below it you wrote

That is only a temporary sample with a blue tint. Some don't like the overcast yellow of the original.

That's why I got confused. Thanks a lot for the share.

Thanks for the info

OK, I seriously don't understand this.

You claim that the version you're sharing is a raw capture, without any color correction, but still you say it has "slight" blue tint.

On the previous page you posted before and after pics from (I guess) this version, the top version has no blue tint visible, the bottom version has HORRIBLE blue tint.

So I'm sorry but I'm totally confused - which version is which?

Why does the "corrected" version have much worse colours than the original?

The sample looks wonderful. Why should there be any playback problems?

Crap :( Another talented musician gone :(

Nice! Do you plan to release the final version?

I love deleted scenes. So more deleted scenes or new HD transfers of the stuff which was used for the eBooks would be great.  I don't really care about commentaries etc.

Rocket looked real. Groot looked fake to me.

OCPMovie added the original hyperspace version to the first version of Deleted Magic if I remember correctly, that's the easiest way how to get it. But I remember it being the same, including the crappy font, but excluding the music.

10 months later I can't say I found a better source. I guess nobody else had luck ? :)

Wow, that's blue

Great, thanks

Yes! Shield and Carter renewed for another season.

 Not that I don't trust you, but source?

I feel like an idiot now but until I read this last few posts I thought that Boss Nass or what's his name is a different species, and not a Gungan. I always wondered why are the Gungans not ruled by a Gungan in TPM but they are in the Clone Wars cartoon

Wasn't Boba Fett eaten by the desert vagina?
