Gotcha makes sense. I honestly wish all the cg creatures could be removed but I think that’s a personal taste thing.
I like the idea of the creatures, but hate the dated CGI. After all, Dewbacks were in the original cut, just immobile.
I had this idea of attempting to make them look like Harryhausen-esque stop motion creatures by changing the frame rate (there’s a stop motion feature in Davinci Resolve), and using sharpening to make it look more like a clay model. That method didn’t’ help too much. I think one would have to straight up change the texture to give it the look I want. Which I would appreciate advice on how to do, if anyone has any idea.
(it would be a dream of mine to do this with the Jabba scene so we could see what a 1977 version of the scene could’ve looked like if they had the budget)
