Original 1977 Star Wars 35mm Print Has Been Restored and Released Online (arstechnica.com)
AmiMoJo writes: A restored HD version of the original Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 35mm print has appeared online. While this isn't the first time that attempts have been made to restore Star Wars to its original theatrical version—that's the one without the much-maligned CGI effects and edits of later 'special' editions—it is the first to have been based entirely on a single 35mm print of the film, rather than cut together from various sources. The group behind the release, dubbed Team Negative 1, is made up of Star Wars fans and enthusiasts who spent thousands of dollars of their own cash to restore the film without the blessing of creator George Lucus, or franchise owner Disney.
Wow. You are way too emotionally invested in this.
Be more like Spock..
*Ducks and hides...
I have determined that my sig is indeterminate.
Dude, calm the fuck down. You're being illogical, like Spock in Star Wars episode 12.
Justin Bieber Darth Vader and Pocahontas Jedi.
...but enough about the prequels.
Can't wait for the 35mm transfer of another Lucas masterpiece: Howard the Duck.
You'll either keep a civil tongue in that mouth or I'll cut it out and throw you right off of this Firefly into the Black. Step away from this table. Now.
So basically what you're saying is Star Wars was your generation's Frozen, except with less singing and a slightly worse Christmas special?
I am Darth Locutus of George. It is useless to resist. Your restorations will be reverted. We shall add Han shooting Greedo to our own.
His word order you do not like. Know you not that no difference it makes!
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
You sound bitter about that. You should really just let it go. Let it go.
