I am eagerly awaiting the release of the touches station scene…
But I did get back to work on some things over the Halloween period.
There is four more deleted snippets required to flesh out and complete Star Wars 1977.
- The informant in the cantina.
After Obi-Wan says "“Chewbacca is first mate on a ship that might suit us” chewing walks past the bar. We then see the informant look and quickly leave cantina on the wipe not a wipe cutting him out the film. Then the wipe from him leaving the cantina and switching to the storm troopers makes sense. This deleted clip has a few frames in color then goes black and white. This could be done the same way other clips have been colorized.
-
Vader Striking the wall from the 1977 trailer for star wars. This would require the lights are to be rotoscoped and footage resized. That guy with no name may have or may not have sorted this…
-
There is a still image for an alternate take in the death star bridge or main control room. This is simply a quick cut away when Motti speaks. Not Sure if AI could be implemented on this? It would require his lips mouth the words and a slight movement exactly what AI limit is so do-able. It would be around 2 second alternate take. Not that important either but it’s a challenge. This is from the scene where they talk about the princess still being of some use to us and responding to alternative means of persuasion. The cue point for the take is the back of mottos head when he speaks.

I think the big wide shot of the landspeeder with Luke and threepio would be a good addition to sandwich in-between Owen calling for Luke and then entering the kitchen continuing to wonder where Luke is. No dialog just sound effects a nice shot.
Now in further investigation. I have found further issues in the editing that are new by Star Wars 1977 observation standards.
In the briefing to attack the death star showing the plans. “It’s a small Thermal exhaust port right below the main port”
Change to “it’s a small Thermal exhaust port” there is no other port.
When gold leader goes on attack run his wing man says “we should be able to see it by now” this is in the completely wrong part of the sequence. It needs to be part of the missing conversation around “Almost there…” big editing error.
I am close to getting a total edit done but still a way off yet but mostly done. Just wondering if these last few pieces of the jigsaw can’t be sorted?
It is very close now…
