I was on a roll with my BR color correction so I let this project sit idle. But it is a new year and I want to get this done first. I need to reorganize my file storage, but I got started on one piece of this already.

This time around I am going to tackle the most difficult part first. I’m going to use the 1977 crawl from the 35 mm scan and the SE crawl from the Blu-ray to align the elements of the flyover. Then I’m going to separate it as three layers: the two ships, the laser bolts, and the engine glow. I have three versions of the 81 crawl from SD sources that I’m going to match to to get the intensity of the stars and the relative position of the final elements. I’m going to have to scrub the elements of grain and then add it back in when I composite the layers together. I also need to recreate the final frame by pulling the star destroyer from the 35 mm scan and edit it to match the SD sources. Then I need to work on the starfield again and the moons and planets. My last version is okay, but I now have better sources to make it even more accurate. Plus I need to further tweak the layer composite during the pan down.
