Bobson Dugnutt,

Looking at the clips you have, They seem to need very thorough cleaning. If you’d like, I can do a pretty good job cleaning these clips. If you’re up for it.

I appreciate the offer, but I have aimed to go for a little bit of a retro look to it. I still think the most recent 2019 BR, and even D+ project look far too clean and sterile.

I did do a pass on the raw deleted scenes off the 2011 disc, and doing an upscale and DNR pass to get rid of the digital noise and artifacts introduced by the modern encoding. Then introduced a new grain layer, using real 35mm film.

It would be great if the blasters shots matched the look of original vfx. And what work are you referring to regarding the Wampa arms?

I’m using the original WOTS2 scene as a reference, with hopes to redo the effects.

Here’s the newest cut of the scene, of which I’m very happy with.
