#15 – REBEL SCANNERS: Preserving Star Wars (with Rob of TEAM NEGATIVE 1)
How fans are preserving original film prints of the Star Wars films for posterity
"If you've only seen them this way, then you've never seen them at all!"
In 1997 George Lucas released a special edition of the original Star Wars trilogy with new digital effects and changes both subtle and drastic. Since then, the original unaltered versions of the films have not been made officially available.
But where there's a will, there's a way, and fan efforts to restore and preserve the original films have filled the void. One of the most impressive of these fan restoration projects is 4K77 – a 4K scan of a 70mm Technicolor print – undertaken by a group which goes by the name TEAM NEGATIVE 1.
I am absolutely chuffed to chat with the co-founder of Team Negative 1, Rob, about their efforts to preserve Star Wars.
