  1. Yes, I agree. It's just unfortunate they were rushed.
  2. What's Lucasfilm? What company is the rightful owner of the music? Disney?
  3. Thanks for the information! I hope these reels on eBay fall into the right hands so they can be properly preserved and possibly used as a source for a future release.
  4. I'm sure it was mixed with care, but Mike Mattesino was on an incredibly tight schedule. I thought Eric Tomlinson and Brian Risner mixed the 1997 Special Edition of ESB, with Risner doing the bulk of it?
  5. I'm confused, then... The original masters were used for the 1997 RCA, then lost and then partially found as of 2007 (according to the letter)?
  6. Many years ago, I read that masters for ROTJ couldn't be found at the time, so they used 3rd or 4th generation copies instead... hence why the quality is so poor. With ESB, it mixed incorrectly without care, but I'm not sure if the original masters were used. Also, I've read that better, higher quality masters for ROTJ were found, but the article didn't provide any more information. To my knowledge, none of this has been confirmed and the link to my source is now dead, so who knows.
  7. Also, if the original masters were lost, what was used to create the 1997 RCA Special Edition release?Copies. Really? The RCA "Star Wars" sounded pretty darn good to me... as for the other RCA Special Editions... they had their own set of issues, IMO.
  8. Thanks, I didn't look at the other pictures, only read the description. I am little confused by the letter. Is this the first time we've seen this letter? And what was the point of it, exactly, since it wasn't addressed to a specific person? Also, if the original masters were lost, what was used to create the 1997 RCA Special Edition release? I am assuming the letter is talking about the music from the 1977 "Star Wars" and not the other films. Sorry for all the questions...
  9. Does anyone have a link to this letter from Lucasfilm? Are only the "Star Wars" masters lost or all the original trilogy masters?
  10. This one has always given me the willies.
  11. I thought someone reputable on FSM said that the "Harry Potter" scores were off limits... has that changed? Did I miss the memo?
