Brief Synopsis:
âThe Story of The Empire Strikes Backâ was an audio LP following the adventures of Luke Skywalker during TESB. Now this recording has been visualized using movie scenes and images. Spectacular!
Intention:
In 1980, millions of people all over the world flocked to movie theaters to experience the most eagerly anticipated sequel of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. With the first home video release of Empire still 4 years away, fans yearning to relive the film at home were able to spin their turntables and listen to the vinyl LP record âThe Adventures of Luke Skywalkerâ. This album followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, âThe Story of Star Warsâ, by combining the original actorsâ dialogue, sound effects, and John Williamsâ musical score into a wonderfully edited and condensed version of the film. Veteran TV actor Malachi Throne completed the album with excellent narration. Listeners were able to use their imaginations and follow along with the album while viewing assorted pictures from the film on the inside of the album cover. Syncing the albumâs audio with a variety of video sources, this DVD brings those album cover pictures to life and gives viewers yet another way to enjoy the finest film in the Star Wars trilogyâ¦.
Additional Notes:
This releaseâs main star is without question the audio. Scotty Balls supplied a new lossless vinyl capture to serve as this projectâs foundation. It sounds so good that itâs easy to forget youâre listening to a vinyl source. This uncompressed audio was synced to official 2004 and GOUT NTSC DVD video. Where editing required, pans and zooms or stills were used, mainly in narration passages. Most of the offensive SE elements have been removed and is probably 99% SE-free. Color correction was utilized in an attempt to improve the bizarre blue cast of the 2004 DVD and better blend with the GOUT. The opening 20th Century Fanfare video was taken from The Omen (1976). Fanfare, end credit, and dvd menu music was taken from the 1993 Star Wars Trilogy Anthology boxset. Rebel_1138 created the excellent custom title crawl. And finally, Coov helped immensely with his collaboration on the case cover artwork. Special features include theatrical teasers and trailers from the EditDroid team and a video version of the 1980 Read Along 7″ album using audio captured by Scotty Balls. The theatrical trailers that were 4:3 have been pillarboxed and re-encoded anamorphically for proper aspect ratio on both 4:3 and 16:9 sets. I recommend having the EditDroid Special Features 4-disc set in your collection.
