Restoring the theatrical version of The Phantom Menace?

Restoring the theatrical version of The Phantom Menace?
The project is moving forward, with the usual hazards for this kind of project (we are still waiting for a new 4K sensor that is stuck somewhere by a Japanese supplier).
In the meantime, I’ll post screenshots made from the first test scan (720p) ASAP so you can compare raw colors to official releases.
And as Omni and RU.08 say, it’s a long way, you’ll need to be patient… I’ll keep you informed of course!
Thanks man! I was hoping you would show something from the test scan! But why not the whole thing? 😃
The Phantom Menace - The swim to Otoh Gunga
Attack of the Clones - Dooku trying to sway Obi Wan
Revenge of the Sith - Window scene
A New Hope - Trash compactor
The Empire Strikes Back - Carbon freeze
Return of the Jedi - Rancor pit
Bonus - Victory Celebration
Are the theatrical colors the same as the VHS?
Any word on this project?
Add Admiral Ackbar’s father to the Prequels and explain that they come from a long line of renowned trap-detectors.
Rumor has it Ackbar senior was forced to adopt after being trapped.
Is Adywan going to release the Blu Ray cut with this gorgeous color grading?
Maybe you should overlay the Chroma from the HDTV over the luminesce from the Blu-ray @emansfan
Can you release this?
Personally, I don’t like the color shift you chose to use for the Kamino scenes. I feel like it kills the moody overcast atmosphere.
Hope this is constructive criticism. You can do the project as you see fit of course! 😃
I like what you did with the Corusant shots btw.
Would be worth comparing and worth having diversity.
Absolutely. I for one, would like to see this transfer.
Those who are not interested can choose not to. 😃
I never understood why people would trash fan projects. It’s not like the source material is going anywhere!
I would buy the set of if didn’t include the ST. It’s inclusion actually lower the value I perceive it to have.
I don’t like the “heavy lightsaber” presentation they are deciding to copy from the Sequels.
Lightsabers are supposed to be “an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age”, as shown in the Originals and Prequels, not weighted sticks that are swung like clubs.
I wish I would’ve seen it in 3D when it was rereleased.
I saw the 3D version opening day. The theater was packed and the crowd cheered when the 3D opening crawl started. First time I ever saw an audience cheer for a movie. I also met an actual Star Wars fan my age (a rarity for me). We sat next to each other and had fun pointing out every easter egg. The 3D was also done rather good from my recollection.
It’s one of the fondest memories I have.
Count me in as someone interested in acquiring the download link. 😃
I’m planning to do a Star Wars countdown with friends over the months. The only theatrical cut I have of this is an old VHS widescreen copy, but if there’s a chance to get this in a quality relative to LD or HD…
Palpatine voice: I look forward to watching it with great interest.
Zig Zig uploaded a composite HDTV relative to LD on spleen that you might want to check out.
PS, I also wanna copy. Pretty please, sugar on top?
He is one of the most recognizable individuals in Star Wars.
So time doesn’t actually matter here.
Water. You’ve decided to leave alcohol behind in pursuit of a better life.
He is not a good writer, the guy who helped write Empire was.
IMHO George can craft dialogue and story that is enjoyable in every direction; stories that are either hilarious or incredibly deep and thought-provoking depending on how you look at it. In many ways, his writing surpasses Laurence Kasdan’s. Don’t assume I’m joking either, this is genuinely my opinion.
had the script written by an actually good writer.
So… George Lucas?
That was awful kinky
Waifu2x is another option, and it’sdesigned specifially for upscaling anime… Plus it’s free!
That is infamous for destroying details, and smearing the image.
I notice Harley Quinn is your avatar here. I take it you’re a Batman fan, right? So, is Batman really Batman without Bob Kane and Bill Finger? Is Paul Dini eligible to write Batman stories and whatnot? So Rian Johnson should be eligible to write a Star Wars film, no?
Batman is a franchise that has undergone many reboots and iterations that divulge significantly from the source material. Any writer can write a Star Wars movie, but they won’t be true continuations of Lucas’s core story. While I would like to believe that Star Wars could be different from other franchises and their multiple iterations, it really isn’t. So under that logic, there isn’t an issue with a George Lucas Sequel Trilogy being made after this one wraps up.
How would you people feel if Disney released the OOT in glorious 4K and then Lucas bought back the franchise and made a proper Sequel Trilogy?
There already is a proper sequel trilogy.
Sort of. Star Wars isn’t really Star Wars without George at the helm IMHO
How would you people feel if Disney released the OOT in glorious 4K and then Lucas bought back the franchise and made a proper Sequel Trilogy?
Not happening?
Wasn’t the question
