STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 REVISITED ADYWAN *1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION — Page 449

The following contains spoilers from The Mandalorian…

Comparison…

I think perhaps the TV series might win a bit… But it’s not to late. I said about the color of the haze > around the planet before and it looked a bit much on your still perhaps but I will leave it up to you.

I think the more blue / purple is the way to go personally though. Actually the turqoise color comes under the >purple blue if the TV series is anything to go by.

Planet has less contrast more whispy too and a bit different tint.

Ronster, see the post right above yours.

Amazing that, after all those years, the clouds haven’t moved an inch 😉

But i think we should keep any discussion about the Mandalorian eps out of this thread for those that haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.

I am amazed that a double sun parched desert planet has that many clouds at all.

Unfortunately, streaming quality isn’t as high as Blu-Ray quality would be. And also unfortunately, if it’s not released on physical disc or, at minimum, a purchaseable download (versus streaming subscriptions), working on an edit using material from it would mean that edit can’t be discussed at fanedit.org or listed on IFDb due to their extremely strict “own the source” rule.

Sadly, though, I agree - it’s unlikely that The Mandalorian will be released on physical media in the forseeable future.

If something isn’t commercially available on physical media, I feel like being subscribed to the service where it is commercially available should count as “owning the source” for the purposes of fanediting. Either way you’re circumventing copy protection, which isn’t strictly speaking legal due to the DMCA in the US. As media moves from an ownership model to a subscription model this will become more and more of a problem for faneditors.

It definitely raises an interesting question regarding the legality of it all. I agree with you that under current fan editing rules, if you proved you have a subscription to the relevant streaming service, that would prove that you have purchased that product/service in a similar vein as owning a physical copy of the movie/show of the fan edit, and in effect not taking away from their revenue. But yeah, it is a flimsy gray area regardless.

It’s very explicitly against fanedit.org’s rules, unfortunately. I don’t believe we have as strict a policy on that here.

They do allow purchasing a digital copy (e.g. from iTunes or Amazon) as far as compliance with their Own the Source rule, but simply being subscribed to a streaming service, even if that’s the only way one can access that particular content, doesn’t count. You have to be able to pay for the specific movie/show you want to edit in order to comply with their rules. For instance, Stranger Things edits weren’t allowed over there until the Target-exclusive BR release came out, and season 3 is still off limits on fanedit.org until a physical release exists.

Again, I don’t believe the rules about that here are as strict. There’s already a Mandalorian edit available here.

There’s one small thing that’s kinda bugged me about Luke’s trench run - he says he’ll be going at full throttle (implying the runs before him weren’t), but his X-Wing targeting display appears to be moving at the same speed as those of Red and Gold Leaders.

How possible would it be to fix this?

Hello there.
I just re-watched the original ANH:R. Loved it again. The way the scene in Ben’s hut plays is so much better. It feels so natural. It would be good to get rid of some of that flat lighting on the Death Star. Compared to Rogue One the beautiful sets look very uniform and a bit lacking in appropriate gravitas. Vader also seems a lot less menacing, sandwiched between Rogue One and ESB. JEJ hadn’t quite found the character yet. The thing that confuses me in every version is what the rebel pilots are actually doing in the trench run.

You have each pass of three fighters. A leader and two wingmen. The wingmen are doing something to give the leader time for his one shot. While turbo lasers fire you can imagine (though we see little evidence) that they are picking guns off to reduce risk. But when the fighters come in they sway too and fro which present a bit of a challenge for Vader and the boys but it does take them a while to take down the fighters. Maybe adding a rear facing weapon or having the fighters blast chunks off the trench to act as an obstacle would make that sequence make a bit more sense. Alternatively have rebels enter the trench behind the ties and have them fail to pick them off. It’s always kind of bugged me but much more this time. Good fortune with the continued work. Hope we have a change of regime tomorrow. As soon as my ship comes in I will send a donation. Money is really tight at the moment.

BINGO!!! Hi Bingo!

Bingo… Bingo… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long while… A long while…

👋

Looks amazing, thanks Adywan! I too was curious whether the battle droid would be in there haha. The sunset shots look absolutely gorgeous, and I love the double sun!

Wonderful!

Wait… video side of things is done for the whole film??

Great job Adywan!
As mentioned above the new canyon matte looks beautiful.
Looks as though you’ve managed to tweak R2’s trajectory after he’s received Leia’s message, he doesn’t appear to headed for the wall now.
Thanks for the clip 😃

Cheers, Paul

It looks really good!

Did you add extra beeps to R2 as he is rolling away from 3PO on Tatooine? Maybe I’m misremembering it.
