  Speaker 2: Okay, in nineteen seventy seven, a little thing called Star
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Wars happened. I've heard of that, and Nick, I'm guessing
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that you haven't seen Star Wars.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: That's a trick question. Yeah, the original Star Wars are
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: some press or what all you've seen is the special editions. Okay, yeah, the.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Non special editions with not very good special effects. For
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the time, they were really cutting edge, but nowadays they
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: seem a little clunky. And you know, the British film
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Institute's Film on Film Festival in June will open with
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a screening of one of the few remaining technicolor prints
• 4:26

  Speaker 2: since December of nineteen seventy eight.

  Speaker 1: Wow, now there are copies available on home video VHS. Yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think I have one. I have seen that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Lucas he began to tweak the print right away,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: like in eighty one. He started fiddling with it, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he has been very grumpy about the whole thing. He says,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the special edition, that's the one I wanted out there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The other movie. It's on VHS if any but he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: wants it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to We're talking millions of dollars here
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the Monday in the time to refurbish that because to me,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really exist anymore.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: That's always been his stance.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But what we're hoping is now that Disney owns it
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and they see the BFI screening sell out immediately, that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: they're going to go, well, there's money to be made. Ah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And that's that's what Disney answers to.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised it's taking him this long to get around
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to it, To be honest.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I know, right well, it's because they just you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: they just bought it a few years ago and finally
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this and I know Katie was probably very excited because
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: she's into giant lizards and Jurassic Park specifically.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't know Katie was into giant dinosaurs.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Sam Neil is going to be in the next
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Godzilla versus Kong movie, So Sam Neil from Jurassic Park.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So I knew that would make you very happy. He's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: quite quite elderly now, he is, but he will be there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So he gets to look up at a giant lizard
