| Galactic Voyage's 10th Anniversary | |
Tomorrow we are celebrating Galactic Voyage's 10th Anniversary! I started the site in the last century on November 14, 1999. It is hard to believe that I have been doing this for a decade! Be on the look out for a great new feature called 'Galactic News' in the coming months as we continue to grow the site for 2010. With Season 2 of The Clone Wars, and hopefully some new information on the Live-Action TV Series, it looks to be a good year to come. Thank you to all the Star Wars fans who have come and enjoyed Galactic Voyage these many years! It has been been a pleasure.

| Special Edition Restoration Process | |
Club Jade found a great article from the Secret History of Star Wars on the Special Edition Restoration Process. Many are aware that Star Wars was restored for its 1997 theatrical re-release, as video featurettes and television specials from the time often touted that the original negative was in poor condition and couldn't be shown as was. Somehow, as if by magic, the film ended up playing in theatres in January 1997 looking like it had when it was first shown twenty years earlier, arguably looking better than it had when it was first shown twenty years earlier. Featurette's talk about "washing the film" and "digitally re-compositing" the bluescreen elements, but these blur the line between restoration and enhancement, for the digital processing and elements added are outside of the restoration process itself. Be sure to read the entire great article!
