Two things–

First, Harrison Ford moves his mouth a lot, and quickly. Carrie Fisher on the other hand, speaks quickly without nearly as much mouth movement. Ian McDiarmid moves his mouth a lot too, but slowly. And other people wear plastic masks 😉 So it makes a little sense that maybe Ford would be the first place you’d spot a small sync issue.

Secondly, I stand corrected, Discostu is right. The German dub matches English lip movements way closer than other dubs, and as a result, a small sync difference of two frames is noticeable, and not just at the “He’s my brother” scene. They’d never notice it in Thai because lip matching is pretty haphazard there. I think part of this may be due to the Krieg der Sterne team assembling a top-quality sync from several imperfect sources, but now I can’t really rule out anything (okay, maybe I can still rule out Thai).

So there’s a pretty big pile of audio to edit for 4k83 after all. The good news is that we know it needs to be done. The bad news is I’m not doing it yet. I’ve got a lot of other things on my plate, and those other things have priority for me. I’ll probably get to it after Harmy weighs in on whether he (and therefore Krieg der Sterne) intends to use this new frame standard going forward. If so, that will bump up the priority. Or if someone releases a GOUT-synced version of 4k83, that will reduce the priority.
