I created a “kind of extended” version of not the whole movies, but only some of the segments. Almost none of the scenes was however restored, and I honestly don’t know if it’s good enough for a “release”.
It would be nice if you could share an example but, This is exactly my feelings that a base version should be decided on that it will be extended and then any effort from anyone the content will build gradually. and done with bolt on segments as you say. I think despecialised would be a good choice but it will soon look like the technicolor version so it will be quite different from previous versions I imagine. So perhaps it might be better to wait a bit but I will try and put something up here next week at some point.
Oh yeah this is also something that I never understood until recently but on the gunfight in docking bay 97 the Falcon turrets are firing aswell as Han’s Blaster. So a thought i had was to somehow show a turret letting a blast off in close up for the large explosion that takes a massive chunk out the wall.
watch out for the storm trooper for whom we only see the tail end of his death… i.e. Falcon Shoots big explosion. Han Shoots kills storm trooper but the way it is edited it is made to look as though Han shoots massive explosion.
I think the footage without lasers is in the trailer for the trooper death but flacon shooting would need to be made.
