Update
I’ve been rotoscoping and tweaking the scenes with R2-D2 and C-3P0 on Tattooine now for the better part of a week, and am looking forward to showing you all how they now look compared to the original footage.
The original footage of them in the desert is unfocused at places, colors are changing and especially C-3P0 changes color and sharpness and goes in and out of focus due to what I suspect are changes to the sun’s placement on the sky as they were filming the scenes.
The scenes also jump up and down in overall brightness and contrast. This is fixed.
Changes:
- I modernized the shots with changes to the skies and the colors around them
- I have, as best I can, kept the colors and focus on R2-D2 and C-3P0 consistent throughout their movements in the desert
- I have increased the quality of the ambience
- Improved overall dialogue compression as to make their interactions sound renewed and modern
… and a lot of rotoscoping on C-3P0.

Upcoming Changes:
- Add glow to C-3P0’s eyes on close-up’s.
- Try to add even more focus to the two droids in the establishing shot
- Add more focus to C-3P0’s (who’s kinda out of focus/blurred out) in the shot at 0:40)
One thing you could do to modernize this movie is to use the version of the throne room theme from the ROTS soundtrack.
I’m not following. You mean the emperor’s theme?
