Brilliant. Very funny and entertaining. I enjoyed watching this with my brother Andrew, who drew my attention to the item. Many thanks.......MUCH BETTER THAN TERRESTIAL TELEVISION !!!
It just amazes me how an artist can so utterly misunderstand & fail to truly value his own work. If Lucas had died after Empire, he be commonly thought one of the most brilliant directors of all time.
I RATHER WATCH THE ORIGINALS WITH SCRATCHES AND BAD AUDIO THAN , CGI JURASSIC PARK DINOSAURS WALKING IN TATOINE , SALCA PIT CARNIVOROUS PLANT, VADER SAYING NOOOOOO, EWOKS BLINKING, CGI JABBA, CGI SHIPS, ETC ETC ETC - LUCAS CREATED AND DESTROYED STAR WARS - WHAT A SHAME
Can you send me the telecine minus camcorder, the record, and a blank E-169 or T-120 tape so I can get it from film and LP to (really) Hi-Fi video home system recording?
For some reason Super 8 footage of every kind is very hard to transfer well to video. But it still looks great if you run it through an original projector. I'm impressed that you found one.
Frustratingly, the Super 8 project light was prone to burning out after not very much usage (e.g., only an hour or two).
@jetuber If you look on my channel I have transfered many Super 8mm and 16mm prints to digital HD video with very little flicker. The way I did it was 1,use A Sony Digital 8 Camera and set it to 30fps, and 2. I used A HD Cannon camera at 24P and 1080p. This is for films shown at 24frp, for 18 frs,super 8 I used my friends Sony Fx-1 Hd camera set at 30 fps almost not flicker at all, but this camera flickers A lot when trying to transfer 24fps films.
I can get a better restoration - onto VIDEOTAPE - of that - using a telecine, an LP player, the telecine's RCA Output, and the LP Player's RCA output, into the VCR, and out to camcorder for digitization, with full audio quality.
Excellent restoration! This brings back a lot of great memories. I got this toy for Christmas in 1979...used the crap out of it! Eventually carved up the cassettes and edited into one reel to project on my super 8 projector. I should never have done that. Trying to acquire the cassettes again.
Im buying a projector and this film because of this, i did notice you could get a sound version in super 8 as well as shorter and longer versions of this. I wonder if you can get full movies in parts in super 8 lol wouldn't surprise me.

The STAR WARS Saga will always be series of movies ever made, I for one am a huge fan of the prequels (Mostly Episode III) but we always hear about the whiners who have a complaint because they seem to think their version is more superior...... How bout this..... If you don't like it, Don't watch it!!!! They are movies!..... There is a serious lack of people having lives these days, and I am a film student..... Get over yourselves, go make your own movie!
nice story hahaha lol.

The 'projector' is called a Kenner Movie Viewer. You can see the film throught the eyescope! It doesn't project! Dumbass!!!!!

You are half right, half wrong.
It would be cool to have the restored version, with having the cut scenes uncut.
However, I think there's nothing wrong with the remastered versions.
In EP4... okay, I think that Han should shoot first.
In EP5 I can't notice any difference beetwen the original and the remastered.
In the EP6 the reamstered version is obviously better (for me).... better music, and we can see the REAL Anakin Skywalker....
And yeah, i like the prequels and the originals equally.
