Are you watching the DVD5 version?

its not on the dvd.

no

huh?

EDIT: sorry, I get it now and I see what you mean, it should actually be an easy fix.

Erik's corrections are very good.  I might recommend, for ESB, saying "Return to a galaxy far, far away...",  to match the iconic phrase, but that's just a judgement call.

Here's the final version of the STAR WARS Death Star Explosion:

 Holy shit you're a madman, that's unbelievable Harmy. Bravo.

When the 'Look Sir, Droids!' scene first wipes in, and we see the Dewback off in the distance, the sky darkens at the top left of the screen, as if a black mark suddenly appears. Was wondering if this is something that could be fixed for v1.2?

Apologies for, perhaps annoyingly, bringing this up again, but I wasn't overly sure if you saw this? 'Tis about the only suggestion I can make to improve what I thought was already a premium release - and I don't want to miss the chance of being an 'apostle of awesomeness'... ;)

I'm redoing that scene from scratch :)

I just went through the Luke training on Falcon scene and I can't find any other bad lasers.

Harmy, the new DS explosion is really nice. How did you do that?

Step one: Remove the ugly blue haze from the SE explosion.

Step two: Remove the ring using DJ's GOUT upscale.

And the thing Laserschwert pointed out is actually another smaller ring added in the SE but I tried to remove it and couldn't get it to work well, so I decided to just keep it, it's nowhere near as distracting and out of place as the big one.

Amazing job!

hey harmy,

are you going to keep the new sky on the c3po desert scene?

I respect your decision but if you are on the fence i really want to emphasize that i prefer the old sky.  the old sky just looked better with the other shots in that scene to me

I noticed that ring too. Don't know how distracting it would be in the context of the bigger picture.

Pleased to hear you will be fixing that patch of sky I noticed back in Post 480!

Well, to be honest, if it was just that, I probably wouldn't have redone it but I didn't really like the way it turned out. Similarly to the speeder coming to Mos Eisley shot, this was one of those shots I did at the beginning and I knew I could do better now, so I improved the re-creation of the Dewback (notice the shape and location of the Dewback, the way the stormtooper is seated and holds the pole and the look of the pole) and the motion tracking and motion blur during the camera pan.

I noticed that DS ring too. It's noticeable when you're scrutinizing youtube test samples but not sure how it would be in the final version.

As far as what people said previously about trying a 5.1 mix with all the elements of the mono mix, why not try to use hh's 70mm? I kinda like the idea of a 70mm mono mix.

Whew! And here I was thinking I was alone in my anal retentiveness!

Likewise, really glad you're fixing that slight glitch Harmy - even if it is indirectly ;)

At first I didn't like the Light sabers but I am pretty OK with it now since Harmy cleared some stuff up.

The only thing is I wish Bens's Light Saber blue is  was a little more lighter color like the original.

At this point I am just happy V2 is even more closer to the original.
