If I had the time, I’d consider trying to do a comprehensive visual difference guide. I just love how I’m still discovering ESB:R changes even five years after it came out.
We’ll get to that.
He meant bunk, not bunker.

And for a moment I thought, why shouldn’t ESB:R somehow get this treatment. I understand already that Topaz and re-rendering of shots was done but, the ESB 4K Blu-Ray exists.
Because Adywan someday wants to be done working on these movies.
Hopefully they’ll be able to go back and tweak some of the weaker rotoscoping like this. The edit and sound are incredible, save for a few shots!
The Battle of Yavin will be enhanced like the Battle of Hoth, it just won’t be extended, which is a good thing pacing-wise.
I was very unsure about adywan’s decition to give Boba Fett a new, finalised death scene given that he would now be returning very much alive. However, after watching what I just watched I have come to the conclusion that Boba Fett died in 1983 and fully support Adywan making sure he stays that way. Very much looking forward to seeing that happen.
It’s safer to assume that Mandalorian/BOBF Boba is a younger Jango Fett clone who believes he’s the real deal (and the other characters just humor him), kind of like how the Batman in All-Star Batman and Robin is likely a random asshole who found a Batman costume in a dumpster.
Can we leave discussion of Book of Boba Fett out of this thread? Adywan has never been beholden to canon before, his trilogy will be his trilogy.
I think 4K77 would blend with the VHS better at least.
A laserdisc would blend best.
That’s the truth.

You can tell from the preview images they’ve eliminated the matte lines AND increased the quality.

They do still say “Yub Nub” in the SE, Wicket says it to Leia when trying to get her to go to the village. “Freedom” maybe be the name of the village (I know it’s “Bright Tree Village”, leftover from Legends).
Much appreciated! Just to reiterate, I’m currently waiting on 4K80 to be released before resuming work on this project.
Aren’t we all?
Why, it’s already in Book of Boba? He’s barely a character in this movie.
A space for doubleofive’s comments / updates / news / new articles etc:-
I really appreciate the support, I worked really hard on the Wired article and would love to see traction on our efforts to get the original released. Below are some highlights of my work:
Star Wars Visual Comparisons v2.0
I have started my project to recreate the entire archive in full 1080p using the retail discs and 4Kxx. Return of the Jedi is already complete.
List of Academy Awards for The Original Trilogy
A handy list of the Oscars the OT won/was nominated for, marked with my opinion of if they still count towards the existing version.
The Lost Art of Star Wars
A compilation of every effects shot that was replaced in the Special Editions. Some artist worked hard to make those shots, and their work is simply gone.
I’ll post more interesting things as they come up!
Don’t know if this was mentioned but the Digitalbits article on the 4K version of ANH mentions that the speeder was shifted slightly to the right in this scene. That’s not actually correct. The image is cropped somewhat more in the 4K version compared to the 04/11 versions.
YOU DOUBT ME?!
What’s really messed up is not only is it moved over slightly, the left side of the speeder is in the same place, like they pasted it on top of itself?
I watched Faces 100 times, how could I miss this. I suppose I was a child.
My VHS copy of Faces did not have blue lasers at any point, I assure you of that.
Taking note of this for V2, thank you!
I’d wait, personally. As I am waiting myself.
Team Negative 1 has a scan where you find 4K77!
Finished my VisComp for Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director’s Edition DVD. There’s hundreds of tweaks I didn’t catch, but it goes to show you how subtle the original version was.
No, there isn’t. Ady said he would put one together, but he got distracted by doing all of the edits again.
They posted a preview comparing the 2001 Director’s Edition with the new 4K version!
They seem to have already taken it down, mate.
I’m looking right at it.

Happy Star Trek Day!
In celebration, check out TrekMovie’s review of the UHD set, which I agree with, especially the parts that talk about me.
