This one is actually watchable. In fact the first BD is pretty much crap.
Restoring Star Wars and Jedi is difficult. Empire is a different story.
The transition between shots is not jarring. Or Jar-Jaring. The results
are much better this time.
There are only 4 shots taken from the official DVD footage (which still
looks better than the first film's). About 160 seconds are from adywan's
Theatrical DVD, which is much better quality, and the Grandma Emperor scene
(48 seconds) is from adywan's SE 1080p release. The opening crawl is from
Sky HD and the rest of the movie is the unaltered Premiere HD capture.
No color co-wreck-tion was done to the HD footage. I've seen a few
different attempts at that and they all look terrible.
I decided to keep as much HD footage as possible this time and ignore
extremely minor changes. With that in mind here is a list of
What was not restored in this film:
-----------------------------------
The shot of the Imperial Probe Droid flying away is slightly modified.
An extremely minor difference in Vader's first scene. If you can spot
this you get a Wookiee cookie.
Numerous tiny differences in the Battle of Hoth (lasers bolts and some
backgrounds). You would have to compare frame-by-frame to even notice
these.
Despite the new transfers having more picture information in most shots,
some Falcon cockpit shots have a slight zoom-in in this film. You would
have to compare side-by-side to see the difference.
R2's panels were originally black in space shots due to the limitations
of blue screen used at the time. This was fixed for the new release. You can
justify this as being a simple color timing difference (even though
technically it is not).
Different clouds in the background of one Falcon cockpit shot and in one shot
below Cloud City. No need to be anal!
Han's shadow/vest shots. I couldn't justify putting Harrison's close-up
in SD for this one minor thing.
One shot on Dagobah where the new edit is off by a few frames (but still
stays in sync with the original version). This is true of many of the optical
wipes as well. Again, nothing that can be detected without a frame-by-frame
comparison.
Lightsabers. The new version of the trilogy has thinner lightsabers to make
them look more like the prequels, and I hate them. This was actually the
main reason why I started this whole silly project in the first place.
But I think most people probably don't care about this and they want the
lightsaber scenes in HD. So here you go.
Admiral Piett and his Lieutenant had reverse insignias due to the film
being flipped. This was fixed in the new version and I left it in. Sue me.
In the final shot the characters standing in the window have slightly
different framing. Big whoop.
Triple passworded for your protection. For elitists only.
