team negative1 - star wars 1977 - 35mm theatrical version (Released)
Time

It’s a little absurd to spend such incredible amounts of time and effort in a preservation and not attempt to release it in the absolute best quality available. Not only will it then look phenomenal long into the future but people without the ability to use 80GB files can seek out a smaller file version. It’s easy to slightly decrease quality to achieve a smaller file size, to do the opposite is not so easy…

It does seem odd to create a 4K version of these, they were recorded in 1080p, it will just be wasted gigabytes

As far as I’m aware emanswfan is is upscaling to 4k then downscaling back to 1080p only to achive a particular effect with the grain. He’s not planning on actually releasing in 4k.

No matter what you do, you won’t be able to make the CGI look like practical effects or make the story and characters feel like the originals. The only consistent aesthetic connection between the two trilogies is John Williams’ score.

Well for people who actually really enjoy the prequals, it’s still worth it to try and make them look the best that they can!

OK, so I have v2.0 cut assembled and I have the audio tracks from hairy_hen but I’d still like a few volunteers to check out a final workprint before I do the final release. Any takers?

Count me in, I was able to help out when you did the same thing for Empire.

Humble brag.

The only proper way to brag…

OT Audio Changes
Time

Would someone be able to point me towards a video which details the audio changes made to the Original Trilogy throughout the years?
I’m moderately knowledgeable on the OT visual changes (if anyone knows of a definitive visual changes photo gallery please let me know!) but to properly understand the audio changes, hearing them would help greatly! I can find lists of the audio changes but I’m more interested in actually hearing them!
Thanks 😃

Lucas is done with Star Wars, not only would Disney not hire him, but to come back to Star Wars after (I imagine) working so hard to emotionally deal with leaving would be crazy!

He’d also be trying to work with a story he doesn’t even approve of! So IMO it’s just really wishful thinking…

Yep, I do agree with you on that. I kind feel sad for Mr. Lucas.

I’m sure he’s crying in his four billion one dollar bills.

Haha true but money doesn’t buy happiness. No matter how much money Lucas made from the Disney deal it wouldn’t have softened the blow of selling your precious universe to someone else…

Anyway, that 4B he gave (mostly) to charity. I don’t think he’s very concerned with making money anymore!

Just finished reading through this entire thread and wow, this project is looking amazing emansfan! Can’t wait to see the finished product 😃

The idea of changing the lightsaber colors (adding in yellow, taking out magenta ect.) I’m really interested in! Maybe once the standard 35mm versions are done there could be a big poll to decide exactly what alterations people would be happy with…anyway, great work 😃
