Hey Phase, congrats on nearing completion of the edit! Must be a good feeling after all your work on it.

One (hopefully) last update to the visual effects, prior to finishing off the edit:
On Naboo, Obi-Wan gets knocked off the walkway and his Lightsaber falls to the floor. The next time we see the Lightsaber hilt, it’s in a different position; I’ve made a small adjustment to better match how it’s seen earlier in the scene.

If you really want to go OCD with this scene, the wide shot of Obi hanging in the lower left corner of the frame before climbing up also differs from those two shots. 😉

Some progress:
With regards to the colour grading, I’m aiming for a neutral, balanced colour grade, as well as removing the various tints applied to the Blu-ray releases as much as possible.
Here are some before-and-after pictures:

Amazing! Are you manipulating one RGB color in the shot at a time? It would be interesting to hear about your process. I myself have been quite lazy to learn about color correction but this gets me more exited about it since I can see what can actually be done.

Anyway, count me in as interested in getting a link to the edit when you are done!
