WOW that looks incredible. Did Zig’s 35mm scan come out already or did someone else get their hands on a print? Either way I’m hard. I haven’t watched this film proper in ages with the exception of the version I got from you almost a year ago. I’m in eager anticipation of this. Keep up the good work my dude, TPM deserves more love from the fan restoration community.
Puppet Yoda this time around or CGI?
Zig’s 35mm scan hasn’t come out yet, this is a seperate scan that’s been done by different people.
I still don’t love the film, I think its a boring mess of crap but I think it’s important that it’s preserved in some fashion.
CG Yoda still for this project, cleaning up the Puppet Yoda will take a lot more time.
Speaking of cleanup, here’s a comparison with the first 4 35mm shots
Gotcha. The cleanup looks great. Keep us posted.
I’d love to see some scenes with the CGI characters if you get the chance (even if you don’t end up using it). I’ve often wondered if a scan of a print would look more natural than the sterilized look of the home video transfers and how much the CGI stands out.
