I am hoping That this can somehow get made but I am sort of the opinion it should be a bit shorter taking into account deleting any reshoots…
This is my opinion however and I personally think trying to add extraneous material apart from some small snippets here and there which is a given.
My Opinion is “it’s all there bar a few small things…” Keep it simple is my motto and it will happen. And with Logic applied the answers come naturally.
The best approach is a “Lost Cut” Black and white
Colorized “Workprint” All music and sound effects restored and in proper chronological order any Reshoots deleted. Shorter and Tighter Version.
The Colorized workprint is more my Gander.
I have done the Audio for the Landspeeder Search and attack of the Sand People already…
Star Wars Snobbery and Robbery?
Chronological order is among my primary objectives here. Correcting the Battle of Yavin has been a very challenging exercise so far; perhaps too much of a challenge to begin sharpening my editing skills with the roughest part of the movie to edit.
Part of the need for black and white/degraded is because of the poor quality of so much of the deleted material. It’s far easier to downgrade the whole movie rather than upgrade the deleted material. The Lost Cut idea justifies the low quality and makes for an interesting experience.
