A longer look at different scenes in the movie hit with the HDR, a lil color grading and some 35mm grain added.

It’s amazing how much jar jar and watto look they really don’t look that dated if at all.

I think the HDR and grain def help with them blending into the scene better. Im working on getting a better example of the field battle. That one has a lot of scenes that look bad

Have you looked at the 4K99 35 MM print? I can pass it through PM if you want.

I have not, but Id be interested to check it out. I didn’t bother with the 4k cause I read the colors were bad and that the improved image quality wasn’t much better due to them only shooting in 2k.

Yeah even the underwater home of jar jar binks looks great I’m surprised. you can at times see the textures of binks and watto aged a bit but I’m not bothered by it really at all. if it could be updated great if not no big deal.

The textures are the biggest issue. I will try to improve them some but Im not sure what all Ill be able to do just yet. I was already adding textures to certain things in shots, like Anakin walking up the Jedi Temple in ROTS. Doing people is harder than walls and such but long as its tracked right it should be an improvement.

Another thing ill be working more on is the lightsaber light washing over things like the Jedi or surrounding objects. I had done a mock up years ago of Vader vs Obiwan in ANH and I did the saber reflections on his eyes, so I was pleased to see this is Obiwan show. The purple colors from when blue and red sabers meets as opposed to the yellow from when red and Green hit.

I think that the prequels should have an aesthetic less technologically advanced than the OT. Thus vector graphics for the displays.

We shall see what I do there. I do plan on probably redoing Adywan’s trilogy a little bit to match the prequels more, like saber effects and lighting. I love what he’s doing, but I need them to blend with the Prequels a lil more and Ady is not a fan of the prequels and dropped plans on redoing the prequels. He does how ever like the sequel trilogy and is matching certain things to that. So redoing some of his to match the prequels will also help them match the Sequels and Obiwan/Mandalorian.

I have plans to cut down the Mandalorian to 1 or 2 movies, and am also considering cutting down Obiwan and editing some parts into Rogue One as flash backs that Vader is having, making Rogue One a more Vader centric movie. We’ll see though what I can do when I get there though.

I am also curious what they do with Ahsoka in her show. If they give me useful flashback scenes of her and Anakin, I may add them into the Prequels for fans. Well see though.

As uncomfortable as using ai to voice Vader was it could improve parts of his voice in rogue one.

Yea Im curious what tech that is and if its available. It may help with some other quick lines of dialogue.

A look at Quigon and Obiwan meeting Jarjar. First the original, then the Revised, then a quick couple examples done as wipes from original to Revised to see a quick comparison.

This just looks great. The detail brought to light and hidden by the original color grading is astonishing.

The grading is all over the place through out the movie. Here I tried to bring out the yellow from the sun on the leaves in the highlights while also getting rid of the teal, but in the shadows i pushed the greens and blues slightly. The Field battle at the end Is going to be the biggest pain. Ive already tried a few scenes through out the movie and those during the climax need the most work. Ive got some promising results, but I think some vfx is still going to be needed. Like masking out sections of the background to add atmospheric haze. Specially with all that smoke after the battle’s been raging.

Quick look at the Gungun city in the swamp. Brought a dingier look to the swamp color and brought back out the whites a lil in the highlights

Updated clip after toning down the color vibrancy and specular highlights

You do color correction on shadows? Damn, this is the extra mileage. I usually do WB—>CC to my liking in the highlights sometimes the mids and leaving shadows balanced on all colors —> contrast adjustment.

Here and there. In the forest, the yellows are coming from the sunlight, so the shaded areas should be opposite in the blues a lil.

With HDR they give you the Blacks, Darks, Shadows, Light, Highlight, and Specular.

So to get the best quality for some you may need to adjust each individually, including the color and saturation to those parts. I pulled the saturation and vibrancy to the colors on the main section, but then under the individual “Light” and “Highlight” I boosted them back up a lil so the lit areas had more color than the unlit areas. To help give depth.

One idea I mentioned on the Radical Redux thread was having Dooku and Sidious meet on Exegol at the end of Attack of the Clones. This ties it into the ST.

Not really the most concerned with the Sequel Trilogy. As Ive stated before, for me, the story ends with Luke. I like the Mandalorian cause it didn’t conflict with any of this and allowed us to see Luke get his first Padawan. As far as more Skywalkers, Palpatines or the like, meh.

This would be like trying to retcon every plothole the MCU keeps introducing the more they “expand” the world and overall story.

Sometimes, you just have to close the book on a story and let it end. Or you end up with an unfinished story like A Song of Ice and Fire.

Crude lighting test. Testing out various methods for getting the light from the sabers to light up the person more than just recoloring them. I want the light from the sabers to look like they are really lighting things around them up.

Im also toying around with the idea of making this whole scene darker with the red emergency lights flashing (So on Obiwan in this pic, it would light his face up from the Left and the saber from the right.) The lights would be flashing though and the room would mostly be pretty dark.

One. This makes the saber fight here look much cooler, and gives a dark “Hallway” fight like Vader and Luke, but slightly dif.

Two. A couple deadly Jedi just broke lose of your plan to kill them. Ship is going into emergency lock down mode.

Three. It looks more realistic and more like the Sequel trilogy.

(Yes at some point this will be done to the original trilogy. Ill probably just use Adywan’s version to do the small changes I want. Mostly just to complement his already done work and blend it with sequels and prequels)

Just dropping in to say how incredible your work here is. This is truly next-gen fan editing and you are on the forefront! Greatly inspires me to keep learning and improving on my own skills.

Thank you very much! That means a lot to me!

The way you planning and executing the lightning fits nicely. Keep it up this way 😃

That would be an absolute dream😍

I think its going to look much better than it was looking but will take a bit of playing around to get it all right

I don’t care what anyone says I don’t hate midiclorians and as corny as the chosen one part of the story is I don’t mind it.

I don’t hate them either, but I do feel like it works better with out them.
