I only just watched this and It’s quite a notch up from the Old DVD-9 version.
Liking the fix to the Jawas eyes it’s a nice subtle effect.
As others have said on the Binary Sunset I myself have thought a lot about what is wrong with it and the conclusion I have come to is the sky needs mixture / total replacement for Luke coming out the hut. The white sun needs to be red and omitting a Red Haze through a purple sky which the skymaster version sort of demonstrates the purple look without any light haze. I think you went for something kind of halfway between the Red Version and the Blue Version that are seen in various versions. I don’t mind what you have done with it but It’s a very perplexing set of scenes in terms of the lighting and color and I think it’s a damn difficult part as it’s also subjective as to what 3 versions being around.
There are a great many things that are better I have to say the Mos - Eisley Distant Matte painting looks much, much better that really pops… The Next shot however seems like it could be better color or contrast or something there and C3P0’s eyes are not lit up… The new fix to 2 R2D2 scene is much better.
The Falcon Dish shot looks much better than your last version really good work!
The Elevator Shaft scene feels like a milestone in something that you wanted to do previously and could not do. I think the matte painting looks good now and the fix to the guy walking past makes that pretty seamless now. It’s a very good edit.
Liking the Alternate angle of Obi-wan on the Chasm Matte very clever. I think it could be good to splice back to the closeup angle though just before he turns the apparatus on the tractor beam controls for Visual orientation.
Removing the Shakes in the Turrets cockpit is interesting on the Death Star Escape I am wondering how that might go?
Having the Single Lasers coming out the falcon Turrets is far better than the Double Lasers that actually used to bug me in you old version a bit.
it’s good you put the Correct pilot guy back in on Red Leader Trench Run I have done the same as you on this without even seeing your preview but I can’t help feeling there is a bit more to this missing pilot than meets the eye… 😃
As for that last shot it seems to me that there is too much space on the left of the frame and possibly the x-wing and the falcon need changing position to be further out to the left of frame to fix the angles and perspectice.
Well anyway it all looks good Keep up the good work.
