I'm not gonna do LD-DVD transfers, that's not what I was shooting for. What I COULD do is capture the Laserdiscs I already have and post the raw captures on Usenet for OTHERS to use in their projects. My current pet project is not SW related, but I love this community and I wanted to contribute somehow.
Plus - I'm afaid I can't capture AC3, I don't have an RF modulator.

my name is a reference to the widescreen process used by toho for the godzilla films and later akira kurasowa films (the hidden fortress being the first)

Hm, the pilot episode discussion is very interesting.

 

I have a PAL 4:3 fullscreen DVD with the ORIGINAL cut of The Gathering, and the funny thing is that I've been searching for a VERY long time for the special edition on DVD :-)

i would be interested in a modern LD transfer of the phantom menace

I kind of doubt it. The 4% speedup PAL causes would have made synchronizing the soundtrack to the official DVD video problematic for the youtube clips.

Most of the Asian bootlegs I've encountered seem to be NTSC though.

reason i asked because of marioxbs exellecnt subtitle pack thing which needs an NTSC disc 

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Backstroke-of-the-West-with-retail-DVD-quality-FINISHED-amp-FULLY-WORKING-DOWNLOAD-HERE/topic/4861/

the plan would be to use the untouched ntsc 2.0 audio and drop in audio from the clips

add the modified audio to the dvd

use marioxbs subtitle kit

instant backstroke dvd

would kershner have made AOTC better if he directed it himself instead of george?

is there a Rotj in the works or finished?

thanks

... the "pyramid" edition that is not THX.

As you can see, the Pyramid french edition is the worst - older than the other, and no THX benefits. Has completely different colors, less details and cropped image. Discarded immediately.

Which disc are you referring to as the "pyramid" edition?

This one from 1989, which is reported to have very bad quality, or this from 1994 which is apparently the same master but a better pressing?

is it related to the 89/92 tececine or to the pal master used for the coffret set

is the original dvd pal or ntsc?

not to mention needing to add SFX.

where there any soundboard books like the star wars books?

I'm not sure, but they might have actually shot this on 2-perf Super35 to save money on film stock. If they did the actually size of the negative that is used is hardly bigger than a regular 16mm neg. The grain levels that look very 16mm sometimes would point to that too.

the plot thickens

there are some toonhead episodes on myspleen

Two excerpts from the review none linked to:

He thought that a certain amount of history revision had taken place (either intentionally or not), and legends and lore about Star Wars that most fans know are not necessarily accurate. He believes some names involved with Star Wars have unfairly been forgotten or diminished (Marcia Lucas for one) and he wanted to highlight the collaborative work the incredible crew did with limited time and resource. Gary Kurtz asked that we try to forget about what Star Wars became after 1977 and think about what it was like in the mid 70’s and the creation of a modest budgeted, unpopular genre film that had relatively low expectations. 

His main issue with what Star Wars has now become was to do with the creation of filling in back stories and the explanation of peripheral characters and plot points that were mentioned in the original trilogy, which up to 1983 were filled in by our imaginations. He would prefer new stories to be told rather than have detailed explanations of The Force or the origin of Boba Fett.

Gary Kurtz is awesome.

You guys call me the case study, but it's not just me.  Star Wars was something entirely different in 1977.  It was poorly handled once Lucas got the creativity & idea folks out of his way.

Mod Edit: There is an list of Star Wars Games & Gaming threads in An Index & Help Thread for The Expanded Universe.

This is ‘a general discussion thread’ for Star Wars Games & Gaming - and for news of new / rumoured games etc; but please still use the existing gaming threads - and also create new SW Gaming threads for individual games - as you wish… 👍

has it been considered before about star wars having its own catergory on the spleen, old and new uploads would be better organised
