I read a interview in Sound and Vision magazine years back where they did an interview with John Lowry. He was of the opinion that the special effects scenes were not really up to 4K standards due to analog compositing. The restoration interpositive introduces yet another generation loss...

I agree. Since the original trilogy was scanned at 1080 I, I would guess new transfers would have to be made. Or did I miss something and they already have been made ? I'm sure a new scan will deliver a better picture, but since the source is the 90's restoration done in analog, quality can only...

There is a great deal there. there is just no way they threw anything away. Not star wars. Lost maybe, o neg to damaged to be used maybe. I seem to remember something about two ycm color seperation masters. Those would do fine

With Star wars coming to the big screen in 3D, I bet the camera negatives will be re examined and scanned. If im not mistaken turning 2D into 3D needs as much clarity as possible.. Moreover, If I were Lucas I would milk every last drop I could from the 90's restoration interpositive and let the...

I'm surprised too. I would have guessed release prints were at least as good as blue ray if the print was brand new with no wear and tear. shows what I know.

yes people getting angry is so much better.   I'm fine with Lucas. He will give us the original trilogy after he has sold all the special editions he can. Im not sure what can top blue ray for in the home viewing. If he does not use the best elements now, then he can give us 1 more release...

In order to make the 90's release prints, Lucas would have had to either make the original negatives work or recombine the YCM color separations for the lost scenes. That would obviously have had to come before any digital manipulation. Therefore the original version must exist, or we would have...

recompositing the original special effects should not change the look. It would eliminate a analog generation loss and result in more detail.

I thought they were using the 90's restoration prints. Analog re compositing used there. I don't know if the scenes that were altered were digitaly re composited or not. I'm sure the 90's prints will make fine blue rays but I think the entire thing needs to be digitally reconstructed from the...
