How about "Get Over It: An Unaltered Star Wars Story"

^But is Elvis alive?

That would be the correct answer.

OH NOES! THE FLAGS ARE DIFFERENT MY CHILDHOOD! -_-

Harmy's going to jail someday, just like team negative one.

Whelp that's the end of that. And even if they DID release the originals you'd probably still find something to complain about.

Again... we've known this for years. Since no home video version had been struck from the oneg prior to the SE, it's highly unlikely that the fans want it anyway.

I do find it odd that they claim that the 4k is the 2011 version. You know... the one done entirely in 1080p video with no physical film elements.

That news is ancient. It's been known for a while that the best surviving sources for the OT have been interpositives made in the early 90s for the laserdiscs.

Yeah and they already had this argument for 20-some pages. Dead horse.

Well he appears to have been more than willing to participate in the special feature material in 2004 so I guess it didn't weigh that heavily on Kersh.

If he's referring to the "You're lucky to get out of there." line I think that was actually in one of the original theatrical mixes but not the other.

Of the three in 1997, Empire Strikes Back had the least amount of changes made to it (some of which are actually still in the Harmy version) and what changes were made were signed off on by Kirschner. Furthermore, I do not believe "Bring my shuttle" was something James Earl Jones improvised in...

See this is why I don't care for the other side of the uber-purist "George Lucas ruined my childhood" argument either. Its such a slippery slope especially when you start applying it to everything else like O-T.com is frequently guilty of. It would only be a matter of time before we were never...

I have now gone through about half of the o-t.com thread about this subject (and please do not make me do that ever again, I despise that website like the plague) and the general consensus (although not unanimous) is this: The film looks like it did on original release in 1981 when projection...

But the thing is the reflection IS NOT ERASED on the blu-ray, and neither are any of those misaligned, unstable optical shots, and that one matte painting of the cliffe the nazi jeep drives off. I'm actually kinda sad Steven threw the 2002 E.T. under the bus. If he just put the shotguns and...

The digital fixes for Raiders were only on the old dvd. Furthermore, the blu-ray's sound mix does not use any elements other than the ones originally created for the film back in 1981. Its not some radical reworking like some of the Star Wars films.

And yet this forum will still find something to complain about even if they did.

I've watched DeSpec in 1080 and I don't think it looks nearly as good as you claim it does. The uprezzed shots in particular stick our like a sore thumb.

To call DeSpec a "restoration" anyway is at best wildly inaccurate and worst a flaming joke. Its a reconstruction utilizing footage from an uprezzed 20+ year old laserdisc master cut into a regraded 1080p blu-ray master. Basically a collage of other people's restorations done on some guy's notebook.

The Lowry restoration used a dye-transfer element of New Hope made at Technicolor London in 1977 (apparently the last one they ever did) for grading. I don't see how that's any less accurate than a 1985 IP derived from an already degraded negative which is what the 1993 laserdisc transfer used...

I'd like to see who is making this claim that the Raiders blu-ray colors are incorrect and what evidence they have. If its based off some fading memory or an old VHS transfer, I'd be prepared to dismiss it then and there.

Also some shots from the New Hope negative had turned completely green by 1996. YCM Laboratories did a decent enough photochemical job with what they had but to call it a "full restoration" is a bit of a misnomer.

I would not be surprised if ANH'S negative is the only one that really got destroyed due to the sheer amount of over printing done to it in 1978-1982. But the scenes removed from ESB and ROTJ might be in the same boat.

Its even more surprising when you consider these groups are basically using stolen property. These are actual 35mm film prints that were supposed to go back to Fox once the films were withdrawn from circulation.

Did RAH ever say such a thing to George directly or just to this website? If it was the later, I don't consider that an offer at all.

Even earlier than that. There was a reference on the back of one of the old Topps trading cards.

I got that off a scan of the pre-90s edition with the white cover so I'm assuming as much. If there was a revision made at some point in the mid-80s, the printing information does not make note of it.

Jabba was in the original novelization and the Marvel Comics adaptation though (the latter creating a huge continuity error later down the road when they adapted Jedi).

From The Art of Star Wars (published 1979) This was published two years before the subtitle got edited back into the movie, so clearly George was already thinking about it.
