This guy looks like a restored George Lucas !

[@mightisright]

Michelangelo blows up his statue of David and one lone Italian man spends the rest of his life piecing it back from memory.

[@herranton]

Disney, buy this from him. Toss him a few million for the work. Put it in the theater, for a few weeks, then put it out on uhd and charge $40-50 for it. I guarantee you will make your money back.

In 1977 I was working on the Kinks tour and Ray was begging to see Star Wars. So, since the band was playing Pine Knob a Detroit area venue I called a suburban Detroit theater and made arrangements to get everyone in to finally see the film. Ray, Dave and the entire band were blown away! Loved it! What a treat it would be to get a 4K copy now. Good luck!

Disney has proved thousands of times over that they don't care about making money, and they sure as hell don't care about preserving history.

[@moonliner2001]

It's a very minor thing, but one thing I look for in any restoration of the original Star Wars is a bird, flying in the distance in the jungle shot just before the Death Star briefing at about

I was born 25th May 1977. Never knew I was born same day Star Wars was released.

Around the 1 hour 10 minutes mark you say that you are not a "real Star Wars" fan and that it's not about Luke and the Rebellion or TIE fighters.

[@pdamasco]

Give one to the Library of Congress. They've been bugging Lucas Film for an "original" true to theater print for years.

[@doktor_ghul]

This is a stunning (STUNNING) revelation to me. So many films could be restored, not Frankenstein-ed for profit, but truly RESTORED, that it almost gobsmacked the mind. If there is fairness in this chaotic universe, may the true restoration happen. May the Force be with you.

[@fuijika]

In all my heart I hope Disney will license you to release that full restoration. You and them would make a good profits. I would buy it even if a copy is 100$

[@cwm9686]

Mike, if you finish this work and decide not to release it publicly or sell it to Disney, please consider putting your work on a form of media that will survive the test of time and leave it in your will to a trusted person or institution that can release the film to the public after the original copyright expires. We may never see it, but our children might be able to legally benefit from your hard work.

[@nic31910]

That feeling of the frames coming into alignment? That’s The Force.

[@CaptPostmod]

Fascinating. Here I am with the Despecialized 2.7 and 4k77 w/DNR and looking forward to Despecialized 3.0. And Mike's sitting on a version that beats all three of those by a mile.

Just to continue on with my last comment. I saw the film in Hicksville, NY on May 25, and in the following weeks. I remember it was the best on that screen for brightness, sharpness and clarity. It was a medium size screen, and the projectionist had the bulb up bright, and he really kept a close eye on the focus. Some of the scenes were much more clear than others. Different lenses, different filters, but I loved the clarity of the opening reel and the final reels. The definition was excellent. As to my reaction to the film the first time; I was 21, a cynical science fiction fan, and I was not sure I liked the fantasy aspect in the start of the film, but I was slowly melting into a puddle of amazement. With the combination of story, effects, visuals, sound, music, editing, I was loving it, and by the attack on the death star I was literally mesmerized. When the name George Lucas started the credits the audience burst into applause. The music was so good, even with the theater's failure to mix the Dolby tracks correctly, and walking out all I could think of was how so many children would love this movie. I was in a haze of joy, I couldn't wait to see it again.

Leaking this to the internet is certainly the

[@Dousch]

The allignment process 20 minutes in blows my mind, and to do that frame by frame by hand. This is incredibly inspiring to see.

[@gregkrazanski]

kind of funny, they use image stacking and pixel averaging in astronomy as well, to look at galaxies far, far away.... what an ingenius use of this process, for film restoration

[@georgecapalbo8996]

I saw Star Wars for the first time in 70mm at the Century Plaza Cinemas in LA early June 1977 (10am show, 4 other people in the theatre) What I distinctly remember was the visceral experience of the sharpness of that print and the smooth tonality and balance of the colors (plus the clean multitrack sound). When I saw the 1997 'special edition' those colors were so faded-- and it saddened me. Your restoration is as close as I have ever seen to that original day-- You have pulled off a miracle (somebody needs to get you to the original negative!)

Is this fine gentleman just singlehandedly saving Star Wars and revolutionizing digital restoration?
