Wow, you’re really committed to the 81 crawl. I like that a lot, because it’s what I grew up seeing, and it helps the film stay connected to all the other episodes (yes, even the prequels - I’m not as critical of them as some, but they’re definitely not my favorites). I assume this will be 1080p when completed?
Yes, I’m trying to match it in quality to the work Williarob is doing on his 35 mm restoration. It should exceed it in some ways. I still have to tweak the edge of the Star Destroyer a bit. My draft was ok, my last pass was much better, but I need to tackle it again to get closer (and hopefully to a final state). That is really the last thing I’m working on. I’m trying to decide on whether to feather out the edge more, lighten it, or (in the case of the Blockade Runner) bring the other element in front and feather that.
