Of course, the subtitle scenes will be different, I would recommend looking at the scene with Anakin and Padme in the field on Naboo. There are lots of patches throughout that scene. The German HDTV had a lot of problems with any scenes with bright greens or bright reds, as well as with sudden flashes of white light, so basically all of AOTC. There are lots of patches throughout that scene.

I don’t want to over sell this update. The main work I’ve done is to upgrade the secondary source and minimized patches from the Blu Ray to nearly zero. Although I did use them in SW and Jedi to remove the subs. Besides the ALTA/Opening Crawls, there are no full scenes that were ever completely from the lower quality source. I could have done it that way, but it was always too easy to spot. Mostly we’re talking about 3-5 frame patches throughout to cover encoding glitches, or less frequently stream errors, which might be around 10-15 frames at a time, depending.

AOTC and Jedi have by far the most patching, because of how much red and green they have. It may not be completely visible when watching in motion, but there are just hundreds of 3-5 frame segments, where blocking artifacts that will cover significant parts of the screen. But, again, we’re talking about less than 15,000 frames for AOTC, in total that have been upgraded. That’s only like 7% of the film.

Anyway the other main upgrade will be the improved audio sync.
