The Falcon is always falling apart. I think you can safely assume work was done on the ship during the three years after Battle of Yavin. Among them, Replacing the lights in the corridor, re-aligning trim light in the cockpit, and the addition of new bunk.
I mean Han and Chewi are literaly working on it in the openning of ESB so yeah.

This looks so good, can’t wait!
Really minor gripe with the added holo display of the Death Star orbit. It’s well done for sure, but unlike the interactive tactical panels added to Echo Base that blend in seamlessly, the colored 3d holo as a centerpiece here feels detached from the OT aesthetic somehow (plus the original is such a cool design).

Yeah but it’s also a cheeky way to add a hologram into ANH, as in EVERY other film (including the OT) there are holograms except for ANH so yeah, I stand by ady’s decision on that one.

But we see the rebels using a colourful hologram as a centre piece in Return of the Jedi, so i think it fits in with the OT asthetic
@adywan how’s compression going to be compared to a 50gb with your complete trilogy release? because at certain levels compression can make the image quality look really bad especially in hd.

Can’t argue with that!

Looks Great!
I have high expectations and your previews never disappoint!
NEW COMPARISON VIDEO … See how many changes you can spot. I’ll put together an illustrated list of changes early next week so you can check if you spotted them all
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.

I agree, however, I’m wondering if that’s too much cutting between shots that it would be distracting?

My thoughts too until you try it, you won’t know if you should or you should not splice to much.
Adywan DaVinci Resolve now does realtime voice isolation/music removal. It works awesome. https://youtu.be/EzpRM8lCwNI?t=1103
Also if you want instrumentals, acapella, this one works great-> https://ultimatevocalremover.com/
I really prefer Beru’s lines in the mono mix. I heard the stereo version first but I guess I heard the mono version more because of taping the television broadcast. It sounds more natural to my ears. Which Beru will we be hearing? +++edit+++ opps… Answer given in the opening post… My apologies++++
I remember adywan mentioning there would be more comm chatter during the Battle of Yavin (I guess he’ll take this from the radio play).
Adywan, you may have come across this already but Adobe Enhance Speech is in beta right now:
https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance#
I used it here on some clips from ANH and it’s pretty amazing:
https://youtu.be/K3VBE5hMVu0
It’s not flawless. And I’m sure you can mix the vocals into your edit better than I did in my clips. But I thought you might want to consider using this for certain parts in ANH:HD.

Agreed, and yet Ady recolored the ones in Empire to green to match ANH and TFA
reylo?
@adywan SomethingStarWarsRelated just found a program you might want to use for your original trilogy edit. used in the right way it’s a game changer not just for Star Wars but for a lot of old movies shows cartoons etc. it’s wild https://youtu.be/K3VBE5hMVu0

Wow! That’s amazing stuff. I wonder how that could help with Vader’s lines in ANH to making him sound more like the other OT films. If Ady’s up for it I could definitely see the “Mix of both” being used to help with some of the on-set lines that are rather lacking in crispness.
The Skywalker Saga:
I · II · III · IV · V · VI · VII · VIII · IX
This is the way.
I must admit that is indeed very impressive tech. One could argue that part of the charm is hearing audio the way it was recorded then, however I think it could be used sparingly in some instances for ANH and still not have it be distracting. After all, if one of Ady’s objective is to give the films a visual update, why not experiment with this tech to enhance this way the audio?

I know right and the guy who used the audio program said this is a beta so maybe it might get better.

Yeah, Vader was interesting. I did help and it also didn’t. It actually removed a bit of whatever filters they use on James Earl Jones’ voice. It still might be usable to a degree. It would probably have to be lower in the mix.
It’s interesting because it almost completely eliminated the filter on Leia’s hologram dialogue!

No I found your message in the deepfakes thread it was just a coincidence.
It always bugged me how A New Hope sounded so much older than Empire and Jedi. This is really promising tech. Exciting times for Fan Editors.

People have pointed out how in spots the actors don’t sound like themselves but i think that can be worked out after all this is a beta. I think the people complaining wouldn’t have as much a problem with the final release version of the program.

Although an intersting tool the devil is in the detail it’s not isolating the audio at all it’s recreating the speech audio and parroted back as a sound alike or that is what it seems to be doing to me.
Although Star Wars does have a lot of Audio issues I feel a bit sad in a way that people are trying to apply A.I tools to an old film from 1977 that celebrates the Human condition the robots were people in costumes. The vision of the Robots being people in costume is one to cherish. I’m not sold on the A.I tech that I have seen seems like it’s another hyped up fad.
