That was never confirmed. Just rumor mill info.

Or just reuse your old box.

Those screencaps don't look bad. Maybe I will buy these after all.

No sale, LFV. No sale...

That could work sorta. You are giving them your money so they are kinda obliged to replace those coaster discs for ones with a better transfer. I'm sure they won't though but it would be fun to try and thats the whole point of this excersise: to give the fans something that is fun. On another...

Finally got a response from LFL (Surprise!). What annoys me is they seem to have gotten "anamorphic transfer" confused with "restoration". You do not need to do a restoration in order to have an anamorphic transfer. I have like five Bond dvds in my collection that look like they're covered in...

First an on-topic post: What's the best looking non-anamorphic transfer? The Abyss? Is there a chance SW could look better? Now for quoteyness: That's impossible even for a computer...

I just had a thought. Instead of wasting time with non anamorphic transfers for the whole films, why don't they just do anamorphic upconversions of the original shots (or new transfers from regraded release prints if it comes down to that) and then splice them into the LDI transfers in place of...

Well if the interpositive was junked then I guess it's a lose-lose scenario as we wouldn't be having this arguement if they just did a new digital transfer from the same element. Then again, they did find a print (who knows what format though) with the original crawl for Empire of Dreams so...

Probably not, at best they'd probably look as good as Poseiden Adventure does.

Also isn't the animation on the main title noticably jerkier on the re-release version?

Maybe it's the vhs master instead?

Cigarrette burns are simply an example of bad quality release elements being utilized. They have no place anywhere.

I kinda wish they'd archived Star Wars on something better than D2 now. But regrettably I have to remember Digibetacam wasn't around for another 4-5 years.

If you've seen the US cover its inspired somewhat by the Tom Chantrell poster. Shame no photo reference seems to exist of the famous "Jung Pose".

That would make sense, Lucas relying on his own junky master because he doesn't want to dig up the elements held in the Fox vaults.

Still waiting on a response back from LFL. Should probably assume I'm not going to get one. For a big release, they're keeping a stiff upper lip on this whole fiasco.

I don't think we need a new restoration as much as a Simple HD anamorphic transfer from the same element (I assume its an interpositive) that they used for the laserdisc. If I want a frighteningly clean print of Star Wars I can watch the Lowry restoration on Disc 1. What they'll probably give us...

I thought Ultra Resolution only worked with 3-strip? He does allegedly have die-transfer elements of all three films.

We know at least that a good quality element exists with "A New Hope" ommitted from the crawl. Surely theres got to be more than that.
