Star Wars Restoration - 1997 - part 1

First aired at the time of the release to theatres of the, in my opinion, not-so-special editions of the first three Star Wars films, this television special, hosted by Howie Long, takes a look at what was involved in their restoration (and contamination).

George Lucas wouldn't know the meaning of the word "preservation" if it came up and slapped him across the head so hard.

[SebiStudios2]

Wow, a "few new surprises". Look at how far that went.

I find your lack of Faith disturbing.

Without these versions Star Wars would

go the way of the 80% of the Films we have

Lost since the beginning of film.

Bravo George for spending the time and Money to save our heritage.

1:17 “films you know do deteriorate and disappear”

Well at the fucking rate with your fucking bastard ILM and Skywalker sound fucking the show ever 5 to 10 years there won’t be nothing left that is original before you kick the bucket, you twat director!

Ever fucking heard of perseveration! You stupid wanked out halfwit cunt!

1:14 Look at the cunts face! No fucking emotion what so ever! He’s gone fucking overboard and ruined STAR WARS, oh lets just let him, and not bother seeing STAR WARS again unless its rare off the shelf 6track mag uncompressed 70mm DOLBY STEREO print.

1:08 Did he just say “preserve”? I think this cunt needs to look that word up in dictionary book! This fucking cunt has ruined a classic 70’s and 80’s sci-fi fantasy with his fucking over the top tinkering around with now its not worth seeing or why even bother listening to it! Matthew Wood has fucked it right up!

[EmpireLS56KW]

Missed it Gorge Lucas! Oh, you mean those bastard STAR WARS re-issues of 1997 2004 and 2011 Nooooo! Fuck you, Lucas and your fucking bluray and your fucking 3D STAR WARS cram it up that quadruple fat pineapple ass of yours. We the fans have had fucking enough of you!

the beginning of the end

@alluvialedaempfer I never did think of it that way. I guess it does make sense that they will not be working off the original material, but the past DVD releases.

[alluvialedaempfer]

@JimmyJones nobody is complaining about the the enhacing of the video quality, just of the REAL changes to the films. and the audio ... is not enhacing at all, they pretty much screwed up alot of the sound-track by messing around with it over and over. it is like with a picture with pixel quality.. the more often you save it, the more loss of quality.
