Luke & Treadwell Deleted scene ANH -X, finally complete

Kind of excited about this one as it seems like it has taken as long as doing an entire short film even though it is only 53 seconds.
This is my first deleted restoration scene and it has been a long road as it is quite possibly one of the worst ANH color scenes as far as far as image quality (The troopers in hallway might be close). This scene needs no introduction and from what I can tell, was how ANH was supposed to start(cut due to the opening battle more exciting). Still, it introduces Luke’s boring farm life and somewhat odd ability to understand droids. Scene starts as the battle is happening and some first shots are exchanged between the two ships. Obviously, ends with Luke speeding off the tell Fixer and the gang.
I will later have a transitional scene that is a longer bridge to him making his way to Toshi Station, but for now this is my attempt to restore this scene. I used what I saw was the best version of this as a base, which had come along way from when I first saw it on “Behind The Magic” CD-rom @ 640 X 480 (I still have my copy of that 😃 ).

Edits:

Footage cut into the story to make it fit and pacing such that it feels like it could have made it in as an Introduction to Luke.
Removed thousands of dust particles and scratches.
Rotoscoping everywhere and clean background plate made
Adobe AI JPG artifact removal and smoothing of some stray blockiness
Re-texture of land speeder panels using original imagery maps to video and correct perspective
Image enhancement/contrast color grade fixes.
Music added and original sound kept where applicable.
Extra dialog from Mark’s performance in the Radio Drama of this scene
Adywan Binocular template and CG scrambled image to closely match the macrobonocular scanlines of the ships (Triangles)

I do plan to revisit this later for the following updates, but right now I need to move on + I am kind of burned out from this one as the rotoscoping and all the dust removal gets monotinous after a while.

Will replace binocular view with original template overlay since I have it now and replace triangle ships with actual ships + make it looked zoomed in/different in size compared to when you see without Binocs.
I now have a Droid caller, Macrobinoculars, Luke’s hat/goggles and Luke’s belt props, so will do some texturing fix where these replace the same that is blurry
Possible treadwell revisit to improve more
Possible extra scenes from a different angle to split things up more and only a single “through the binocular view”
downloads now are with a 5.1 track, but this was not really edited for correct surround, so a proper 5.1 or better re-edit will be later.

Two versions for you to watch or download (comparison and full scene 1920 pixels)
For the comparison (like others I have done), I have the before and after edited side by side and in sync as close as I can. There really was no original scene here, so it’s more just so you can get a feel of the before and after.

Hope you enjoy.
