It took me awhile but I finally have all 3 original movies in thier original formats!
1) Star wars - 1977 (Original 1982 20th century fox release ( NOT DIGITALLY MASTERED)) http://tse3.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.Iq...dd&o=5&pid=1.1
2) Star wars II (1980) - I have this recored off analogue cable sometime I think in the late 80s
3) Star wars III (1983) - I found this at salvation army -- Its recorded from HBO I think sometime in the 80s......
I would love to get all 3 on thier offical tapes but the other 2 have been DIGTIALLY MASTERED and to me do not look good....... (Sound thinner)
What pi$$es me off is NONE OF THE VIDEODISCS have been digtially affected at all..... You can get Part 2 and 3 in thier original analogue beauty!! (I dont have a videodisc player sadly)
Part 2: http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.TJ...dd&o=5&pid=1.1
Part 3: http://tse2.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.-g...dd&o=5&pid=1.1
Now look at part 2 on VHS (I havent found 2 or 3 on official VHS not digitally altered)
Part 2: http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.md...dd&o=5&pid=1.1
I kinda would love to have CED and be able to see ALL 3 as I did in the 80s on analogue cable!! |
Yes the untouched originals were good at the time. However over many years as technology improved its now possible to get those original films digitally remastered with colour correction and some little issues with effects fixed thanks to fan dedication. There are the 4k despecialised editions which keep all the good things about digital images and have removed all the added cgi scenes and pointless changes.
But I'm also lucky to still own the original Laserdisc boxset with all 3 as released in cinemas. I also have the special editions from 1997 and the old released VHS versions. However when comparing them the older VHS tapes have severe colour degradation and many things are the wrong colour or are very off. Simply the more the masters were reprinted and copied the worse they got.
Some fans even managed to get original 35mm film and scanned and remastered them over a long period of time.
