I just checked out the project. It’s really amazing! Congrats!!
Do you plan on including the “previously” and “next on chapter xx” like in the original releases? What about the scenes that were excluded from the DVD release, like the battle droid targeting the clone trooper, do you plan on including them?
Thank you! 😃
At one point, I considered restoring the PREVIOUSLY / NEXT segments and the deleted shots, but ultimately chose not to for the following reasons:
-
Since all episodes can be watched consecutively, I felt the PREVIOUSLY / NEXT segments weren’t necessary. During marathon blocks of the show, these segments were typically absent, with the presentation consisting of just Intro/Transmission > Episode > Lucasfilm/CN Bumpers.
-
While it would have been possible to reintegrate the shots excluded from the DVD release using broadcast recordings, even with extensive denoising and cleaning, the footage would still feel like an intruder, detracting from the overall visual consistency. I made a deliberate choice to maintain a balance between picture quality consistency and restoring as much content as possible using the available footage.
