600 G5 Macs were used to restore the Star Wars Trilogy for the DVD Release!
I had no idea that the Star Wars originals were so badly damaged. It very cool to find out that they used over 600 Apple G5 power macs and some custom OS X software to do the trilogy restoration!
This is an image before the restoration:
and here is the image after it was digitally restored:
"To clean the films Lowry pushed high-definition scans of the original negatives provided by LucasFilm through his proprietary software running on 600 dual-processor Power Mac G5 computers, each with Mac OS X, 4 gigs of RAM and connected via gigabit Ethernet to a 378-terabyte storage array." - All I can say is WOW!
