Hello all. This is something I’ve been working on for a little while. It’s sortof my own semi-specialized version. of the Star Wars
Most of the footage will be sourced from the blu ray, with a new color grade to make them easier on the eyes. Some sections will use footage from harmys despecialized, with slight adjustments to make it match the surrounding footage better.
Here’s a more specific breakdown of the aim.
EPISODE IV (finished)
-Most updated visual effects are kept.
-All lightsabers and blasterbolts re-rotoscoped, courtesy of telecine_7.
-Removed extended dewback sequence of the troopers using 4k77
-Entire Mos Eisley sequence restored back to original version using despecialized, with tweaked color timing to fit in with the surrounding film better.
-some jump cuts and other errors smoothed with editing tricks
-Sorry, but the shot of the walking trash can in the sandcrawler has been removed. I promise it was done seamlessly but I always hated that.
-Bad audio cut during the sandpeople music cue is fixed by borrowing audio from adywans revisited.
-Cut line where obi-wan doesn't remember owning a droid. I know many of you will hate this, and i don't really blame you, but it's just one line that makes it gel a little better with the prequels. No other changed to tie in were made, I promise
-Replaced music in title crawl with the master from the soundtrack. It's the same take, but all versions of the films audio sounds muffled and slightly warbled for the opening hit for that.
- With some editing trickery I fixed the infamous shot where Vader awkwardly gestures after he has finished speaking in the conference room.
-Hyperspace shots from Sir Ridley are used.
- Vader's voice modulated throughout to somewhat match the sound of the other two films, with audio borrowed from Adywan's edit, but in some cases re-eqed to blend in with the surrounding 1997 mix in scenes where it drastically differed.
- Obi Wan vs Darth Vader duel has been re-edited to be a bit faster and less stiff. Nothing too drastic, but it's quite noticeable.
- Luke now says "Blast it Wedge where are you" instead of Biggs taken from adywan once again.
-A few other miscellaneous edits and tweaks, all very minor and inconsequential just to subtly de age certain sequences.
The audio is sourced from the 1997 sound mix dts files for most of it. The 93 and 77 mixes are also used in some instances. The audio will be 2.0 Dolby matrixed surround with a high bitrate.
The release will start with a 720p mp4, then a full bluray.
The other two films will be done as well.
Special thanks to chainsawash and collipso for screening for technical errors, as well as chainsawash for the covers that will be used for all 3 films, which I will reveal as they are released.
720p and 1080p versions available.
