Has anyone done a complete score for Attack of the Clones And Revenge of the Sith. What about a better presentation of phantom menace than the awful 2 disc set put out by sony.
Speaking of John Williams has anyone done complete score reconstructions of the 4 indiana jones films ?

I still have the Gkar set. About 4 years ago, I made copies of the original discs I was sent. My copy of ROTJ still seems to be good, but I haven't double checked the other discs.
If you would check i would be greatful. Even if all you have is Jedi.
Apologies to DarkJedi for hijacking his thread.

Wait, they were new mixes? Why?
Because DTS digital at the time thought creating new dts mixes for all the films was the way to go. I guess they created new lossless ones that they would have used on the blu ray's had they been released.
The higher bitrate on the laserdiscs is supposed to blow the UE audio away. But with the new tech of blu ray that would obviously be no contest were they released.
I would love if films would have both the theatrical dolby and dts mixes. It pissed me off when they released the star wars special edition on laserdisc without the DTS version, or the dts version of Star Trek first contact.
Then the Blu rays did not even have the stereo mixes for the original star trek films with the old crew, they were all like 5.1 or something. Also they did not preserve the 70mm mixes either, the 5.1 was based on them but not identical.
When i watch star trek the motion picture i have to watch the laserdisc because the dvd mix for the theatrical version sucks.
Just like i was recently listening to the theatrical stereo mix for the wrath of khan in analog on the first laserdisc pressing and it sounded great, while the digital mix on the dvd sounds too clean, digital and lifeless.
I am surprised there has never been a preservation of Goldeneye or tomorrow never dies DTS laserdiscs, the dts tracks on the UE were a new mix and not the theatrical track.
I am sure Fanfiltration is only doing the classic bond stuff though, i suspect he hates the Brosnan Bond films.
That Han Solo and Chewbacca image on that poster reminds me of the cover on my Han Solo adventures omnibus. I wonder if they swiped it from that?
Does anyone actually still have the G'Kar set no longer have the discs, wish i had held onto them.
Then all my other sets that were not on Verbatim DL, or Taiyo SL, are all now rotters, specially the stuff on Sony media, ritek, and the worst of all Bulpaq generation 4 worst rotters ever.
One day i spent about five hours trying to recover a disc, after about a thousand read sector errors i gave up.
After the horrible Prequels, and Clone Wars movie i wonder if anything decent could be made even as a spin-off without much Lucas involvement.
Watching the preview cinemas for the Old Republic, and playing the first Kotor made me wonder why there has been nothing like those or the spin off dark horse comics that are better than the recent Luca$h films.
Would it even be worthwhile to make good star wars again, or is it just beating a dead horse?
Even the newest del rey novels leave a lot to be desired, i am more looking forward to Force Unleashed II and Old Republic.
I am even sort of excited for the third Filoni clone wars season, hopefully lucash is left out as far as possible.
The Creating the impossible documentary which will air in nov is being narrated by Tom Cruise,lol.
George Directing on Return of the Jedi ? from article on documentary.
See this is what Lucas re-writing of history accomplished, ignorance of the original films not the redone ones in 1997 or 2004.
Then based on the prequels or special editions people will say, man star wars really sucks. See Lucas had ruined the films credibility with this crap.
Because of this their legendary status is no longer applicable.
Yeah but blu ray releases usually stuck at a old 1080p master don't get spectacular reviews. This won't be demonstration quality. it will be lazy lucas quality. Kind of like the gout. This will be better than the HD bootlegs just enough to sale.
Is it the workprint that is at 85% or the finished version?
How about a cut of the prequels without color levels bumped up to 11 and without cgi. Not much footage would be usable though,lol.
Adywan capped the ac3 for phantom menace. But you had to add it to his original phantom menace theatrical cut.
He said it was not as good sounding as the mix for star wars 1997 special edition.
Hey they still Nuked the fridge with or without the help of Lucas, i still to this day pretend the fourth indiana jones film never happened it is better that way, just like i pretend their are only 3 star wars movies.
You know that after five or six scripts trying to shoehorn sci fi aliens into the indiana jones world, maybe they should have tossed that idea in the trash and worked out a real indiana jones idea like the serial adventures of old.
Hell the marvel comics and dark horse people came up with better ideas, or the game people at Lucasarts. Lucash sucks at writing and Ford and Spielberg should have stuck to the no aliens in indiana jones thing they at first put their foot down over.

Ugh. One of the worst scenes in all of the PT.
I call that the chuck jones looney tunes scene, it was just plain awful.
There was nothing good or memorable about the prequels, recently i tried to sit through the first 20 minutes of that phantom plot movie, and just could not bear it was too frickin painful. LOL
As for Attack of the Wooden Romance or Revenge of the Shit, i never even got that far to watching them on DVD horrible movies.
I love how in that video they mention Burtt passed the torch to Matthew Wood, but there is no mention of his messing up the 2004 mix of star wars.
Somehow the audio on the clone wars cartoon DVD's is good though, Woods assistants?
The thing is he did not mess up the prequel stuff, so i guess he just messed up the defining film of the franchise is all, thankfully it was not a remix of the oot and only the bad cgi version.
Of you mean specks on a 35mm print those would be there is they did not handle the film very cleanly at the processing lab, or if the print itself was mishandled. This is one film where there won't be extra quality on a 35mm print that is not there on a 16mm print, same with graffiti if the prints are pristine and not faded.
Unlike star wars which was shot on much more expensive film equipment, film stock and on true 35mm anamorphic not a blowup like Techniscope.
Actually i cannot remember if they were both shot on techniscope or if one was shot on super16. Graffiti and THX i mean not star wars.
Why would it be super clean it was shot on techniscope a very grainy dirty format. The reason the DVD is that clean is because of DVNR. Though mostly lightly applied, a bit half what they use to scrub a release to look like video.
A giant map of Middle Earth by Alan Lee. A redrawing of Tolkien's original.
I have always been a huge fan of Tolkien. Much bigger of a fan of Lord of the Rings than star wars. But Jackson has not gone and destroyed the old prints or replaced the films with badly redone versions,lol.
It is regarded as one of the finest pictures ever made in American motion picture history, and there is not a good release on DVD and Blu ray for the film. its sheer madness and insanity. But i guess that is okay since Lucas has said it is the worst of all six star wars films. Probably because it is the one he had the least control over.
They talk about how beloved the film is yet there is no restored anamorphic DVD, or a blu ray of the 1980 real version of the movie that this book is supposed to document.
The actual negative is locked away in Lucas compound never to be unearthed again, and the film now exists only as a memory thanks to Luca$h.
This is supposedly tied with the Godfather II as the greatest sequel ever made. Imagine if there was only a special edition of that with bad color timing and cgi and a bad sound mix while the negative sits in a vault someplace, thankfully Coppola is not such a jerk as to do such a thing.
I thought pacific pretty much did the wipes and dissolves.
That is just SPFX on youtube not the Parbot one.
I wish the Living Daylights, Goldeneye were put out on blu ray, neither is Tomorrow Never Dies. They will probably never get a release now thanks to MGM.
I have seen 720P releases that look fantastic. The only problem with GoldenEYE is the framing issue. Other than that the visual quality was actually better than the theatrical release prints. Of course directly off the negative with no generation loss it should look that good.
Was Thunderball the first one shot in 2:35:1 anamorphic cinemascope. I have heard various reports through the years of a 70mm version don't know if this is true. There was a cutdown put out by derann films in super8mm that looked stunning, the colors were almost as good as technicolor supposedly according to one viewer.
