How To Download Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy

That'southward interesting...
Over the weekend, I just happened to be watching comparison videos of all the various OT releases, moving-picture show prints, and fan edits: 2011 blu ray, 2006 dvds, Harmy, Argent Screen Edition, etc. To me, the one redeeming quality about the 2006 dvds seemed to be their color timing. It looked the most "right" to me. Like how I remembered the movies looking on VHS. At present watching this comparison yous linked, I really like those JSC transfers. They look more natural. The DC is as well ruddy. Now in the videos I watched, the 2006 dvds didn't look that reddish but information technology is definitely closer to the DC than the JSC. Information technology'south easier to meet at present that they are the same transfer.
I didn't become to watch Star Wars in its original theatrical run to know what the nearly authentic color timing for it is but that JSC looks really proficient to me. Cheers for posting that link Inquisitor Peregrinus !

4K release of OT & PT in early 2020 says Digital Bits:
The 4K Ultra Hard disk Release List (US/United kingdom/DE)
Here is a list of known 4K Ultra Hard disk drive titles released, appear, or in the works for the U.s.a., U.k., and German (select titles) markets through 2022, compiled from our sources and best-bachelor information.

Not sure how the 2k filmed & SE furnishings will agree up

Merely if they would apply Mike Verta's 4K restoration of the ORIGINAL 1977 version.
Easily the best.

How are they going to do them in 4K when all the digital assets of the SEs and TPM, and all of AOTC and ROTS, were generated in 2K?

Most probable upscale them, I presume.

Same way they did with T2, scan a print, or an interpositive at 4K resolution. But since the original CG wasn't rendered at 4K resolution they are simply upscaling the CGI.
Information technology'southward even worse with Episode 2 and Episode 3, they were filmed digitally at 1080p, which is slightly lower resolution than 2K.
Just no affair if information technology's 4K or even 8K, details will be lost when upscaled.
I have personally seen an upscaled version of Episode ii, upscaled using extremely sophisticated AI. And while it looked "good", the results were quite bad. Everything looked polished. No grain, no detail. And when downscaled to 1080p and compared to the original blu-ray version, oh my. Made the blu-ray look smashing.
My proposition, which would be expensive. Is to re-return the original CGI(when possible). Or recreate them from scratch. The latter would cost a hell of a lot more.
Also, due to age and the nature of softwares: a lot of 3D assets will be useless because they can't be opened with modernistic software.
With the special editions, recreate the effects from scratch or upscale information technology, in any case at least make the original theatrical films available. Other wise, a lot of people'south amazing piece of work will be forever lost. Be information technology miniatures or what accept y'all.
These films were awarded Oscars, the originals, non the special editions.

A fresh 4k scan with the optional upscaled SE effects or without,....simply actually, going back to what you reminded us about,....Mike Verta's restored version really would be best,...he understands what the footage was supposed to look like, & he repaired result shots etc....a visitor like Reliance Media would merely make clean it up,...not grade the motion-picture show the way that Mike did

Indeed. Or worse, like what they did for the dvd release in 2004. An automated process that gave Darth Vader a pinkish lightsaber.

I doubt the Vacation Special. 
LFL has been maxim over and over since George retired that they're respecting his vision and wishes and his last version of the OT is their definitive version, and the Holiday Special is never spoken of (and he wishes he could personally destroy every bootleg copy in beingness).
That said, I'd beloved:
• Disc 1 -- original (properly) remastered Star Wars '77 (i.e., no Episode IV)
• Disc ii -- remastered/re-rendered current version of the moving picture with cleaned up effects and corrected goofs (similar the CG Rebel fighters -- ugh!)
• Disc 3 -- making-of documentaries, deleted scenes, and the original "documentary fashion" crude edit
• Disc 4 -- branching-story disc, with every version of every shot the viewer can select or de-select to make their own personal "perfect" Star Wars viewing experience

I fully expect that the PT will have to exist "upscaled" to put it on 4k and sell it. At that place's actually no other way to do it. But it's going to have a very "plastic" expect to it, where everything looks too perfect.
The thing is, a lot of people probably won't intendance. They won't detect the difference. Or to the extent they do, at to the lowest degree some of them volition really adopt it considering it "looks more modern" or "more than realistic." I've seen this with friends who don't even notice the deviation when move interpolation is turned up high on their TV (which I always turn off, if given the chance). If I turn it off, it'due south 50/l as to whether they say "Whoa! I had no idea! NOW information technology looks like a movie!" vs. "Turn information technology back on. It's more realistic the other mode."
Whoever invented that, should be taken out back and shot. It'due south painful to sentry.
