Whats the story behind the remastered version of the Star Wars Holiday Special?
A few yeas ago, there were several copies of the Star Wars Holiday Special being sold on the internet that were said to be remastered . In all actuality, a truly remastered version of the special could not exist unless one had access to the original masters; however, the claim was that this copy had been a professionally cleaned-up version of a first generation recording of the show. Whether or not this was the case, it was the best quality copy offered on the bootleg market when it came out. Although it s not absolutely certain where it originated, the remastered tapes seem to come from one source: a seller who claims to have had his original first generation copy remastered by a friend in the video business who placed the video images into a computer and cleaned up all of the drop-outs and glitches and then transferred them back onto a videotape. It is not certain that all of the copies being sold as remastered are from the same source.
