I really liked the color correction you provided in the duel between Obi-Wan and Vader, now I can see properly (finally)! But personally, I think the sequence was a bit confuse. I missed a few transitions between the fight, like Obi-Wan crushing Vader’s helmet, and if this is a mental battle, I think Vader’s ship shouldn’t appear.

Glad you like the color correction. I hated the original coloring of this show. I significantly trimmed the Obi/Vader fight. There is no Obi being buried, and no rocks being lifted or thrown. I wanted to keep the vision more of a nightmare sequence that nobody clearly wins. Just like the AOTC training sequences. The broken helmet was not caused by Obi-Wan in this, it is merely a nightmarish glimpse that lets Obi-Wan see behind the mask. The good in him, and the bad.

I have made two more adjustments to the scene, will upload later today, to sell the idea that this is all in his head. I added a bacta tank scene before the “talk”, lengthened the nightmarish Vader walk through the valley, and adjusted the score a bit.

Would love to get rid of the ship in the shot as I agree with you, but I don’t have the skills to paint that out. The whole planet has a dream sequence, not reality feel, to it so I can look past it, but in the perfect edit, yes that would be painted out.

Appreciate the thoughts.
