Well, I can’t make a full edit, but… I can at least try restoring a few select frames.

As Mike Verta pointed out, the seams between the matte and the set is glaring. So I gave a shot at patching it up.

It’s still… very bad, but not as bad as it was before.

I had to correct the sky colour to match the other shots in the Mos Eisley sequence, and while I was at it, I figured I should try restoring some detail.

So I used the same frame from the Special Editions to do that. The Landspeeder, though, still suffers from that hazy forcefield; it might need a thorough redrawing.

This shot’s ok. But having been inspired by the Legacy Edition streams, I hoped to take it a step further and make it look cleaner and whiter.

Also, I tried to reduce some of the aliasing on some of the brighter light domes. Interestingly, it all looks better without the grain. Hm…

On a less-than-subtle note, I did experiment with lens-flaring. Looking at it though, I think I ought to have used two different types. Hm…
