The Star Wars Trilogy Restoration-What Needs To Happen
#starwars I discuss the possibilities and what needs to happen with the seemingly in progress Original Trilogy restoration. There has been only a single official announcement which was vague. The potential leaks of in progress working elements are still being analyzed across the Internet. This is a basic discussion video highlighting the important and basic aspects that have to be a part of any OT restoration. If only to highlight the extreme importance of preserving ALL of the original audio mixes.
