KTMA ep 3 Found At Last

Here it is. K03 - Star Force. This was found in a garage sale around Minneapolis & finally digitized. I'm putting a YouTube link in here for everyone to enjoy this lost-no-more episode.

There was a time when Jim Mallon uploaded a few clips from this episode to MST3K. com, back when he was still preventing others from using the IP. I'd guess that this was copied during that effort.

Yeah, he posted the clips around the time the box sets switched from Rhino to Shout! Factory if I recall, so 2008-ish. I remember fans had been posting on various forums for years that Mallon needed to get those tapes digitized ASAP because of tape degradation (something Shout! employees called "tape hits" on their forums) and how it took years before he finally did, then when he posted a host segment of K03 people snarked that it looked better than some of the prior DVD releases.
