Release Notes

——————————————————————————-



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 “The Adventures of Luke Skywalker”. This album

followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, “The Story of Star Wars”, by

combining the original actors’ dialogue, sound effects, and John Williams’

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 album’s 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 trilogy….

This release’s main star is without question the audio. Scotty Balls supplied a

new lossless vinyl capture to serve as this project’s foundation. It sounds so

good that it’s easy to forget you’re 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.



I would like to thank everyone who has knowingly or unknowingly helped with this

or past projects: Scotty Balls, Rebel_1138, Coov, russs15, Galactus, Jambe

Davdar, Sluggo, digitalfreaknyc, bigbaddaddyvader, SKot, Laserman, Rikter,

EditDroid team, and of course Jay, Zion, and Moth3r for running

originaltrilogy.com. Sorry to anyone I may have forgotten.



This project may be freely traded as long as it is distributed in its original

disc image (.img) format, retaining the DVD_ROM and JACKET_P folders. It should

never be sold!
