Well, apparently their namesake flew the coop some time ago, so…not impossible… Not because they stole the term, but rather because I’ll get accused of stealing it from them (assuming anyone ever notices mine, which is pretty much guaranteed not to happen, but still). I’m just mad they are using “Sanitized” when I used it first.

It’s been a while, so I’d have to hear the current version of what -1 have to make any kind of further pronouncements.Īuthor nightstalkerpoet Time 12:36 AM Post linkĭoes anyone else get the feeling Team Negative1 is under new leadership? (not a complaint, actually thoroughly enjoying the more timely and direct information)ħ/8: Hal9000 Author TV's Frink Time 8:02 AM Post link Better, with greater clarity due to significantly less generation loss but worse, because of additional distortion in the background not present in the Belbucus track. I remember hearing a sample of the SW mono mix that Team -1 posted a while back: I thought it sounded simultaneously both better and worse than the existing version. They have less generation loss and also less noise, as well as more headroom before distortion, but they do have their own issues due to being made with 1980’s era digital equipment. I think the laserdiscs are capable of sounding better overall, due to coming from the master tapes. Despecialized Editions MUST NEVER BE BOUGHT OR SOLD!!! You can find all the info you need here.Would the 35mm audio also be better than the LD audio for the stereo mixes? It would be amazing to have a nice restoration of the SW mono-mix, since the best source we currently have is a VHS recording and I can’t imagine anyone here could do a better job than h_h, so I really hope this colaboration happens.

Using multiple 35mm prints, scanned at 4K, cleaned at 4K, and rendered at full 4K UHD 4096×1716 resolution.” That’s the mission statement from TSWT, whose rationale is that most people now have Full HD (1080p) TVs and are almost certain to upgrade to a Ultra HD (2160p) screen with their next purchase. “Simply put, we are restoring the original, theatrical version of Star Wars in 4K. Even that release, though, was panned by film nerds and Star Wars aficionados for sourcing non- anamorphic footage from a 1993 laserdisc release rather than having the same quality as the 2004 remastered editions, so there’s been a long history of the original cut not getting the love that many fans think it deserves.īut not any more. Pulling from a variety of high quality 35mm film sources, 4K77 - the film was released in 1977, get it? - will be the most detailed digital release of Star Wars‘ original theatrical cut since the November 2006. “If Lucasfilm won’t do it, I guess we’ll have to do it ourselves, as usual.” That’s the line from the folks at The Star Wars Trilogy, who are the driving force behind a new push to recreate the original Star Wars trilogy - starting with the original, Star Wars - in 4K.
