Golden C-3PO rather than that weird greenish color he has on the bluray, man I love this…

Maybe…
I’ve done a basic correction on the cropped shots.

Which image did you mean? I can up you a raw version.

I actually have a question on this subject. How much of the shifts in the color balance may be caused by the printing process? Or are all of the color shifts allways part of the grade?

It’s amazing how much the CGI additions stick out.

Yeah that Green-cast thing was a dead give-away for all kinds of films, not just the Special Editions! I always wondered why they didn’t correct the colour before compositing the images…

Reel 3 should be finished by Friday, but that brings me to the end of funding for the SE, the other three reels may have to wait a while.

I will be setting up some video files and raw files for supporters over the next few days once Reel 3 is done.
Thanks again to everyone for helping make this possible, there are some very cool things in here that I will be sharing soon.

“And blood-black nothingness began to spin… A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem… And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played. Cells.”
“Cells.”
“Have you ever been in an institution? Cells.”
“Cells.”
“Do they keep you in a cell? Cells.”
“Cells.”
“When you’re not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells.”
“Cells.”

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

Not a huge fan of the Special Edition, but it’s the least offensive of the altered versions out there, but I do have some fond memories of seeing it on the big screen in ‘97. At the time it was undeniably exciting to see the extra ‘76 footage in there.
