I have to agree. This is for sure the best I’ve seen of reel1. I opened the sample and the grindhouse on separate monitors and had them playing at the same time. In a good number of shots the grain is distracting in the grindhouse, whereas it appears very pleasant or almost non-detectable in this sample! Specifically the scene right after Luke is in the bacta tank (where his sister kisses him;)) the sample really shines! Definitely worth the grading effort and without a doubt worth a cleanup! The gate weave is much less of an offender while watching as well, and the fact that this is cropped less than the grindhouse leaves room for adjustment which I like!

Keep it up poita
