Project 4K77 is a fan-driven initiative by Team Negative1 to restore the 1977 theatrical version of Star Wars: A New Hope using a 4K scan of a 35mm Technicolor print. The v1.0-4K77 DNR release offers a digitally cleaned 2160p version, designed to eliminate modern Special Edition alterations and heavy film grain, unlike the No-DNR counterpart.

One of the most critical differences between the two versions lies in their color grading. The original 1977 prints had a specific Technicolor look that was dramatically altered in the Special Editions. Sanjuro’s color correction on the No-DNR version is based on extensive research into how the film looked on its original release. But due to the way the DNR process was integrated, Williarob had to regrade the DNR version from scratch. Star.Wars.4K77.2160p.UHD.DNR.35mm.x265-v1.0-4K7...

As the crew was busy with their tasks, a strange signal was picked up by the Falcon's sensors. It was an old 35mm film reel, encoded with a mysterious message. The message was garbled and difficult to decipher, but it seemed to point to a hidden Imperial base on one of the nearby planets.

The "35mm" part of the file name may refer to the fact that the movie was originally shot on 35mm film. This is a significant detail, as it suggests that the video file is a digital remastering of the original film. Project 4K77 is a fan-driven initiative by Team

    I’ve always wanted to go to the Keys! The Christmas before J was born, we had decided our Christmas gift to the family would be a trip to the keys. However, when J made his appearance in October that year, we just couldn’t see driving that far with a 2 month old. And I haven’t been brave enough since. I’m tucking this away for later! 🙂

    I adore Key West, it’s such an eclectic unique town. Definitely not like any place else I’ve been in the United States. It was totally not what I expected, but fun none the less!

    I love Key West and need to plan a trip back out there! My family took a trip there for spring break once and it was a blast. We parasailed, took a sunset cruise, went snuba diving, and ate awesome food! I loved the roaming chickens and pink taxis 🙂
