Just watched this again.  It is so good!  I love it!  Now to get nit-picky just in case you want to refine it further...  Because it is so good now, other issues are more obvious.  I never noticed it but R2D2 has a compartment door swinging open right after C3PO says we're doomed and no escape for the princess this time.

Here are some things that could probably be fixed fairly easily:

- Gate weave.  This is probably the biggest noticeable distraction now.  It is very easy to fix, at least in After Effects.  It can be done scene by scene by selecting a stationary area or two and telling it not to let it move.

- The Lucasfilm logo at the beginning has noticeable aliasing as does other very specific scenes every so often such as the R2D2 closeup.  For specific scenes, I would suggest to crank up the anti-aliasing at the expense of the detail gained from SR

- Resolution - Should be 1920x1080 and encoded at 4:2:0 to be blu-ray compatible.  For those wanting a DVD-9, it would be super easy to downconvert the 1080p version very quickly and it wouldn't need to be recalculated the time consuming way.

-Ringing/halos - they are in the source, but maybe there is a filter to hunt them down and destroy them just like there is for aliasing.


Not saying you should do any of this, but it would make it even better if you did! ;-)

Thanks again!
