Is anybody worried about Disney? As much as we are angry at George Lucas for screwing up Star Wars you do have to give him credit for not taking legal action against his fans. Now that a major corporation without its history based mostly on Star Wars has taken over I worry that Disney won't think twice before bringing the hammer down
There's plenty of this discussion over at 'General Star Wars Discussion' where it belongs.
The color corrections on the dual video look fantastic!
+1 for the latest changes! Very, very, very cool. Can't wait to check the latest comparison. Thank you for giving us these clips to check out as things move along. Regarding the "blueness," I think it looks "just right." The coolness here (color temp) seems nothing short of perfect, but I'll wait to see the clip before really deciding. Incredible that it can be manipulated better with the improved tools.
...........also, I hate to ask again, but may I please get an invite to the myspleen from anyone here? Already have all 3, but wouldn't mind helping seed, and/or still volunteer to help w/getting 2.1 onto the groups of news, unless that's already going to be covered.
A couple of friends have now seen 2.0 and been very happy. One friend commented that he had completely avoided the SE crap, and was humbled to view the "real thing" again after so long, and also commented on how seamless it all was.

Would Star Wars "clapper" clips help as definitive color references and do we have them like the Star Trek community has (the black & white board would help, but one with a color strip would be better)?
I don't think so. It would of course give you a definitive idea of what the colours on set really were, but SW was shot with a variety of filters, lit specifcally, and, as has been pointed out, intentionally graded after the thing was assembled. Knowing the grey point wouldn't give you any idea of what the film looked like when Lucas was ready to send it for duplication.

No matter what I try, no matter what codec I use, I keep getting these rendering errors when rendering AVI.I hate the ghost in the machine. Hope you can excise yours without too much trouble.
This may be the oft-cited monitor calibration issue, but v.2.1 seems too strong orange-hued. I hadn't watched much through v.2.0 development, but it here seems weaker with some hue-steps off in the other direction. Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears' porridge, overlapping the two seems just about right:
Yeah I know this is a week late, but wow that's really nice. AFAICT it's mostly desaturating the orange and leaving the rest about the same. I wonder what this process would do to 3PO though.
Did anybody notice that the Blu-ray insert for Star Wars says "two unforgettable droids RD-D2 and C-3PO"?

STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD 2.1 Blu-Ray has not been released yet, perhaps your in the wrong thread?

He's off-topic most of the time. I think he's talking about the official Blu Ray by the way.

Sorry for being off topic I'm new here. I'm referring to Harmy's Star Wars Blu-ray insert

Nice catch! Apparently, no one else did. Harmy likes feedback to catch such mistakes.
Sorry for being off topic ...
No need ... you're completely on topic. Some don't "noodle it" (like checking the first post of this thread to verify):

Maybe not. Back in 1976, movies put as much as they could in front of the camera lens. Their post-production "grading" was nothing like today's (where everyone does it and much of it is done wrong). And Lucas wasn't 20 years older with allot of time on his hands to toy with it:
"... George recalls. 'I really just wanted to get done with the damn movie and I didn't care what it turned out to be.' " -p.176, Skywalking: The Life And Films Of George Lucas, by Dale Pollock

It was a 50-50 blend for this frame. Others may look better more one way or the other. And still others may look fine untouched. This was just a way to quickly exemplify for Harmy my observations ("too orange" is too obtuse).

A typo on the cover for the case. It's there.
Oh, wow, I never even noticed it in that post and I read it really slowly several times too...

Anyway, here's something new:
The colors are just Awsome!
One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Can anyone guide me to where I can download the V2.1? or is it still in development?

It's still in development, AFAIK.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Sorry,I just read a bit further up and noticed that.

The clip of the duel looks fantastic, Harmy. Thanks for the update.
It’s really sad when the “creative minds” behind something we hold dear are also guilty of its destruction.
Hi all. new to these boards and just came across this.
I found the torrent link for the Starwars ep 4, but are the ones for Empire and Jedi done too? if so about how far back in the pages are the links? there are over 240 pages and I have no idea where to look.

It is against the rules to post hyperlinks to full downloads, so you won't find them if you continue to look here.
They're on Usenet (a.b.starwars) and MySpleen.

Well... actually I'm glad about 2.1, because the 2.0 felt too much off color-wise when watching the whole thing on my TV. The 2.1 version goes in the right direction.
