Yup.

It would have been a print struck for the 1981 re-release as it had the "Episode IV: A New Hope" variation of the opening. Someone at the event told me it was made for a post-ROTJ 1984 re-release, but I'd never heard of such a thing personally.

It was a 70mm print struck for the UK in ‘81 that was never screened because it tore the first time it was projected. There’s about two seconds of major damage right as the Death Star explodes, but otherwise it looks like it could’ve been struck yesterday.

Every time I see this bumped I hope for confirmation of a 4k release.

I'm skeptical. Why would they need Lucas's approval?

I'm just speculating but if it was in fact a theatrical distribution print it might have ultimately belonged to the distributor/studio. And I have a vague memory of some reference to attempts by Lucas decades ago to go after any prints that might have been out in the wild.

So maybe they tried to get this particular print back from whoever wound up with it and in the course of legal wrangling over who actually had title to it they struck a compromise along the lines of 'okay, fine, keep the print but you have to agree to no public viewings'.

Or not. I'm just thinking out loud.

Sure, but he has no claim to it. If they needed permission, they'd ask Disney.

They might not anymore, since the Fox buyout.

I don't know the specifics of this case. But it just seems certain filmmakers need to be consulted over what happens to their work, either contractually or just out of respect. Even though Lucas doesn't own the movie anymore, they probably will still consult with him about any remaster, any changes, etc. because he's still the director of the work.

But they're simply presenting an existing print without modification.... the purest form of the movie.

FOX wouldn't have anything to do with it before the buy-out. They would just take their cut if there was any.

If I remember Warner Bros. were intent on releasing a director's cut of Blade Runner billed-as-such, but it was without Ridley's approval (I think it was the workprint or sneak-peak release), to the point where Ridley said he'd place an add disowning it if they did. From that point on they the DC started to get traction with his involvement (Warner Bros. were actually making a rival cut behind his back concurrently for some time).

If think Lucas would have just had to sign off on this one and how it was advertised.

I know - I was there to see it. I'm just saying someone I talked to after the event stated this 1984 re-release info, which I found suspect, even though he's an industry effects guy.
