No cleaned up versions have ever been released. All these attempts have been by fans.
I know, I meant by people here. There are dozens of threads, but it seems like a handful of people have files but there are no links and no one can get ahold of the people who made them.
Attempted to put the librarian talking about Dooku back into AOTC, as the BR scene is quite rough. Quality wise, it needs some kind of deblocking and sharpening to work with the film, but it’s not a bad scene itself, just terrible quality.
We should try running it through EbSynth with keyframes based on frames from the parts that were left in.
So excited about this. It’s exactly what I’m looking for with all the SW films!
Any updates as of late?

Actually, what about combining the methods? Using automated color tools to add color information into the picture, then using color match to adjust those colors?
Perhaps someone familiar with Matlab could help with this? Looks like it could be pretty amazing for establishing a base image to match from. http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~yweiss/Colorization/
thx for sharing the matlab link …that is crazy. best auto match tool I have seen in adobe premier’s match function with after effects for the slight correct after (if needed). but it’s getting a color picture base to start from. I may have to look into that stuff in the link. I am doing an extended version of EP 4-6 as was not going to include BW, but after seeing that wow! Now we can actually add those scenes in and have it be seemless (from a technology standpoint)

glad you will do the black and white scenes too. 😃
While I’m not actively working on a ROTJ Extended Cut, I did some work on the Vader/Luke deleted intro scene for a user who requested it. Needs a re-rotoscoped lightsaber in one shot, but other wise looking alright.
Why did you make it look so blue?
Probably because it looks better that way, at least in the Imperial facilities. It’s not exactly TRoS color grading.
