Really cool project.
Are there any torrents of their other releases so far?
Screw paying for Usenet.
>>658550
I don't know if they even have other releases.
If you get me a listing on Binsearch or anything else, I can download and make a torrent.

It looks great, but it's still in progress.
Until then, here's the rescan of the 16mm reels of Star Wars (1977):

Star Wars and Return of the Jedi are still in-progress by Team Negative1.

bumping because dicks
>>658473
I'm confused. Is this a remaster of the original theatrical print of Empire Strikes Back? What makes it different from the 16mm rescans?
>>659742
This is a separate rescan project from 35mm film reels, and it's 1080p.
This deserves to be ALIVE
Bump because I like Star Wars.

Oh well, hello there
Where can I get the 35mm scan of Return of the Jedi?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taRp0pSUx5w
bump from page 10
Im okay with any lucas edit as long as it doesnt change anything in the main part of a scene. adding in the jabba scene for new hope was nice, making greedo shoot first was not. adding dewbacks in the background was nice, replacing Anakin with Hayden Christenson at the end of Jedi was not.
>>679227
i agree with you for the most part but the Jabba scene in IV ruins the reveal of Jabba tbh
>>679299
The Jabba scene in IV fucks up the continuity, as well.
"Okay, Solo, I'll call off the bounty hunters long enough for you to pay me back."
Bounty hunters after Han for no reason.
>>679227
>Hayden Christenson at the end of Jedi was not.
That edit makes me always angry as fuck...
>>679333
It also fucks up the part where Jabba is a huge gigantic powerful gangster king who is too fatass to move off from his huge bed thing but he's so powerful everything just gets brought to him anyway or he gets flown around in luxury, and not a little wormy guy shorter than fuckin Han slithering around spaceport hangars with ease.
>>679897
>Totally disrespectful to the original actor
>Gave the scene a different feel
>Was blatantly jarring because it was a recognisable 2000's actor superimposed into a 1980's film

Yes, I'm buttblasted too my friend.
>>679227
I agree except for Jabba.
I grew up with the Sarlacc with a beak. Personally, it makes it better. If they had done it back in the 80s with animatronics, it would legit be one of the greatest scenes in sci-fi fx.
Do not let this die. Bump

I'm pretty sure they're still covered by copyright, so technically you shouldn't download them.
But if they're not available by any other means, no-one is likely to give a fuck.
speaking of epic trilogies, anyone got a link to a great LOTR torrent?

>>685351
I'm sorry but that theory is total shit seeing as Lucas creamed himself talking about how Jar Jar was the funniest character ever in Star Wars.
Go watch Red Tails to see how shitty of a director he is and stop apologizing for him.
is there a torrent for just a mkv of the 35mm ESB?
>>669432
lol@that video..
Can anyone explain why any of the changes matter besides butthurting nerds who nit-pick details anyway? As far as I can tell from research none of the changes impacted the plot at all.
>greedo shot first
And? Is it ever brought up that han shot first? Was it ever an integral part of his backstory? Was it ever integral to understanding him as a character?
>Anakin image changed
Once again did this change anything in the plot? It's a scene that lasts less than a 1/16 of the run time. So he changed the scene to fit the continuity. Boo hoo. If your answer is because you resent the prequels then get over yourself.
>>688876
didn't think so
>>688898
oh were you expecting a response in a timely manner? good luck with that and welcome to /t/.
also fuck you and your weak b8.
>>688907
rip plebs everywhere
So, i've never seen starwars and im thinking to start now. Should I see the originals(like this 16mm or anything like this) or should I see the "new" ones on any streamer.
>>688876
As far as Greedo goes the problem isn't the plot. The problem is that the edit was so heinous that it ruined the entire scene. It also doesn't make any sense that a bounty hunter can't hit a guy two meters in front of him who's sitting down, but that's only a minor point.
As far as Anakin goes, someone already mentioned that this shows a total lack of respect for the original actor. It also doesn't make sense that Anakin would look like his younger, unburnt self when everybody else looked like they did when they died.
>>688960
Actually changing the cantina scene alters the moral compass and character development for Han through out the Trilogy. Without the moral ambiguity of his first scene his transition into a hero through shared trials with the rest of the characters is significantly lessened. As is the relationship between him and Leia.
The changes Lucas made may not have changed the plot of the movies but they most certainly changed the story told in them.
>>688972
I don't see what was morally ambiguous about the scene to be honest. Greedo was threatening to kill Han for money, what did he expect would happen?
>>689011
Thats just the point. In the original they are both scum bags that would kill a man at the drop of a hat. No scruples. The fact Han kills Greedo before he even fires shows him to lack a moral compass. Something he develops over time. A change that leads Leia to admire him.
In the remakes the fact he waits to be shot at to defend himself weakens every act that comes after. Of course he sticks his neck out to rescue Leia, I mean he didn't murder Greedo right? And instead of threatening C-3PO in the common room of the Millennium Falcon when he helped R2 play dejarik, he was warning him. Rather than 'just being in it for the money' coming off as an honest assessment of his character it turns into a cover for his later 'nice-guy' reveal.
Basically that single change at the beginning of the saga completely alters the audiences view of the character for the rest of the story.
>>689015
What i was trying to say is that i found Han shooting Greedo a little harsh but otherwise reasonable given the circumstances.
>>688876
The added Jabba scene in episode IV also fucks up the entire plot. The entire scene show Jabba saying, "I'll call off the bounty hunters for a while so you can get your money and pay me." This changes the entire story. ESB was written around the idea that the Jabba conversation never happened and Han was trying to dodge bounty hunters while he tried to get the money to Jabba. With the scene added, it makes no sense since Han could have just taken the money straight to Jabba after the battle.
>>688907
also fuck you. I'm trying to seriously understand why everyone bitches about the changes.
>>689158
Most people are happy with the actual enhancements to the film stock and special effects. The problems are the complete changes to certain scenes after the fact, such as Greedo shooting first, Anakin being replaced in Return of the Jedi, the dance number added to Jabba's Palace and a few more. Further, several CGI character and creature insertions have not aged well, some didn't even age well by the release of The Phantom Menace.
>>689189
Ok I can see that. I always figured the Anakin change was to keep continuity. I agree that Greedo shooting first could have been made better if his aim wasn't so terrible. Several CGI insertions actually made it better IMO, such as the bigger squadron of X-Wings.
>>671744
George Lucas is more or less a hack whose sci-fi film was very much saved in editing. His initial version of the film is supposed to have been a badly paced disaster. He didn't even direct the second two films in the trilogy, which is a large part of why Empire at least is such a masterpiece.
He's famous for always bitching about the constraints of the studio system, but the prequels and remasters show what happens when the guy is given free rein. He surrounded himself with yes men who were just looking to collect a fat paycheck, no one ever told him "no George, this is fucking stupid, stop". I think he genuinely believes the changes he kept making to his movies, even the most baffling ones, were improvements.
>>689236
0/10 troll detected
>>689251
How so?
>>689189
I'm not sure what you mean by improvements to the film stock, but the Blu-ray release has a blue tinge added that I'm pretty sure nobody liked, and as for the CGI people have been complaining since 1997 about how he used it to just keep shoving more and more shit into the frame. It's not just that the CGI has aged badly, it's that it usually didn't add anything and often detracted from the composition of scenes. And then there are the changes that are at best pointless and a bit silly (like adding more rocks for R2D2 to hide behind) or outright shit all over the hard work of the original special effects team (like replacing the physical Death Star II model, which was a point of pride for its creators and was featured in official Lucasfilm documentaries, with a CGI model that at best looks exactly the same).
It's one thing to make actual improvements, whether it be of physical damage to the film or just minor issues that bother the creator (James Cameron nitpicks over his movies and keeps re-tweaking Terminator every few years, as an example). It's another to just keep making changes apparently for the sake of making changes, which is what Lucas did.
But by far the worst thing is his decision that the altered versions are the only thing people will be allowed to buy. The whole reason there are things like this fan project to make an HD transfer of the original theatrical print is because Lucas refused to let people buy official DVD or Blu-ray release of the theatrical versions. Oh, there was a DVD release, but it was a transfer of the old Laserdisc version and looked like shit. Lucas only seems to have released that as a giant middle-finger to the people asking for a good quality theatrical version. There's literally no reason for this. Deluxe editions of movies with multiple versions are released all the time; I have a Blade Runner Blu-ray collection with 5 different prints of the film.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Does you mom agree with it?
>>689015
I agree totally. Han epitomizes the change a person can go through to become, arguably, a caring dude. Had he not been a villain in the first place how could he go through this transformation!? What the fuck was he doing hanging out in the cantina if he isn't villainy? On top of everything, this is a fucking nod to the Spaghetti Western. Han is a morally flexible guy who essentially runs stolen goods. Greedo is a fucker who wants to drag Han back to Jabba. Where is the debate? How can you have redemption when the guy starts out honest?
>>693544
Jabba like!
>>693998
Dunno. Could ask her tomorrow, though i somehow doubt she cares about the movie enough to even remember that scene.
>>691879
The Phantom Edit is always a good option. It's also free on Youtube. Apparently there's another called "The Fall Of The Galactic Republic" and yet another called "Fall of the Jedi Order," but those two are 3+ hours while the Phantom Edit is around 2.
Anyone know if this the 35mm Team Negative1 releases are still up anywhere?
I found a shit copy of Empire and want something worth watching. Fucking CG walking around eveywhere honestly just ruins the film, and fuck all trying to find a quality copy of the theatrical.
