By the way, just to address some points in another thread. For those picking on Mike V, although he is not directly involved with our project, he has been a silent person behind the scenes that has impacted us also. We have also helped Harmy out. So those people that keep asking , what is with that project? , should know there is a lot of behind the scenes things going on that you are shielded from. If you know the work that he has done, you wouldn't dare keep asking why he bothers to post here. Just be glad he doesn't just disappear and leave you in the dark.
And for those that wonder why things that take so long, and keep asking for more previews. They should either learn to contribute and make comments instead of constantly repeating they want higher resolution scans or more. It's nice to be enthusiastic, but there is a reason and a timing for releasing material to maintain interest. There's no point in putting up screenshots for every single frame without context.
People that have contributed to the blog in the past, will be the first ones to get our restoration before anyone from OT. That is due to their contributions and for not constantly asking without doing anything for it. They have a right to entitlement unlike people that only ask and never do anything constructive.
We are willing to share our project because there is little to no risk for our team members. And although one member (group member [-1]) left awhile ago. The remainder of the team, and new members have picked up from where he had left off. He made it clear that he was done with the project, since the initial scans and rescans were done, and the project was well under way. There is no one pretending to be anyone here, and unless people are willing to post some proof or evidence, it's tiring to keep hearing the same baseless speculation that adds nothing to this thread. Unless that persons posts and says it himself, that would be proof, anything else is just distraction not paranoia. Remember, we are doing this for ourselves first and foremost, the only reason for sharing, is because other members have shared material with us, and the founder of this project wants it to be shared.
So for people that keep posting in other threads, speculation about this group, or whether this project will be complete or not, they should realize the real world nature of how long things take. Otherwise we would have ESB:R revisited and Team Blu's projects already.
As far as the future, there are 2 IB tech scans already, and 2 more partial ones to go. Some are done in 4k, and the other ones might likely be also.
We've shown we can handle 2k, and 4k. But since no one except a small handful of people can watch it. There is no point in speculating about releasing those. They would be used to get a higher quality version that will be made into 2k and 1080p versions, and if they were made they will also be kept internally for reference.
