Have you considered adding the original hyperspace effect briefly seen when the Falcon arrives on Alderaan to the Falcon interior after the DS escape rather then a modern one?

Hmm, I’ll see what I can do.

Anyway I’d like to announce that I’m back and I might a hell of alot of progress within the past 2 weeks than the past year which equates this edit to be around 50% complete more or less, with the goal of finishing the V1 this year! Which is crazy since this has been 6 years in the making, well actually 3 years of actual editing (and big setbacks), while the first 3 years was me growing up and learning how to use compositing and tracking tools.

I’ll try to finish V1 as much as possible within the deadline, and some stuff will be borrowed from the Devastator Edition V2 and ANH:RHD for one shot. Once ANH:RHD releases, I’ll implement more of Adywan’s subtle fixes in the V2 of the project if that ever comes to fruition.

I have basically went through and re-downloaded all my sources again, and went through and adding a whole lot of new, subtle changes that hopefully will make the movie way more cohesive with the right amount of CGI elements that doesn’t detract from the story being told. These changes include the Mos Eisley sequence, Ben’s Hut matte painting, Greedo’s flash frame among other things and fixes that lean this towards Revisited/Devastator territory.

Lastly, I’m thinking of renaming this project so it would roll off the tongue better than DSG Special Edition, a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it? I’d like to hear some suggestions below.

Here’s a sneak peek of what I’ve been working on for the past 2 weeks or so:
