I have decided to redo these mostly from scratch (mostly because I will probably just reuse the audio tracks and just try to sync the new video to them) using the settings described by JawsTDS in the thread below for video, but still using telecine7’s redone lightsabers and blasters. This is not a shot by shot regrade, it is not authentic to any source, it’s just a blanket correction that makes the existing timing much more natural looking and less dark, and no more magenta skin.

I don’t actually have Sony Vegas, I just used the values he gave and fed them into other programs, mostly avisynth, but it looks very similar. I’ll post some screenshots of anh once it’s done rendering. I never shared this anyway so nows a good time to do this so I only have to share it once. So just to recap, you’ll get:

2011 version but with JawsTDS improved color and gamma settings, as well as telecine7’s re rotoscoped lightsabers and blasters.

1997 sound mix sourced from dts converted to dolby surround (this way you can get most of the fidelity of the dts track but with the increased compatibility of an ac3 track, due to each channel getting a much higher bitrate, but still surround. Actually I used a PL2 matrix so it should actually upmix even more accurately than dolby surround from the 90s. Plus this should allow for easier use since the one track will sound good on any setup whether it’s stereo or surround)
Entire mos eisley sequence reverted to it’s 1977 state, so no jabba and no greedo shooting. Can’t remember if I used the 77 mix or the 93 mix for that.
