CommandBen, As you know I already did a Beta of ROTJ, I do not have any immediate plans to do anything further because of a lack of time in my personal life.
With that said, there are a few additional things l would like to update time permitting but my main focus is trying to improve SW ep IV. This one is one of the hardest ones to work on and I already privately spoke with ADYWAN (PM) offering my assistance with his HD version of revisited. He agreed but he said it will be some time before he can get around to recreating his original vision of IV revised.
Right now I am working on the basics of episode IV, (Vader chest plate lights) (mask for Vader’s eyes) Laser replacement, light saber replacement ect. Plus the same type of work like I did on EP V, and VI…
Also some of the original Laser blast that were drawn in by team George Lucas were poorly done as they lacked proper perspective. This of coarse was 1978 so it was understandable at the time, so I am frame by frame “REPLACING” not re-scoping those effects. This is a detailed and very time consuming process because it involves cloning video information from other film frames for the removal process. Once done they will be re-animated and will reflect VFX for a more modern 2015 Star Wars universe.
I am also attempting the same process for some of Luke’s Light saber sequences (remove the original) replace with the new. Some shots are simply near impossible to do this, others are not.
So I plan on releasing a beta hopefully before this Christmas with the above changes, and then next year a more detailed edit, with sound and audio changes. (replacing the audio of the laser blasts and replacing the audio effects with the same sound type, but more dynamic range. Most of which I am going to source from the vast existing SW sound library’s out there. (5.1 mix)
There will be welcomed changes like Han shooting first ect, and the deletion of the Jabba scene. But over all my focus will be to just concentrate on the above mentioned effects, it will be much more conservative than all the changes that ANDWAN did with his revisited release.
Thanks for the interest, I appreciate the support, I will upload a clip soon of a finished sequence, hopefully if will spark some interest in this project
I can’t tell if “Special Addition” is on porpoise or not.
That’s been bugging me too, but I didn’t want to break Telecine’s combo.

It’s clear I need a publishing editor. lol
Open forum for title suggestions. As this release
Is for the the fans.
Just out of curiosity, are you going to be fixing R2’s blinking light in this, to match the rest of the saga? I know you’re doing Vader’s Black Eyes and Chestplate lights, but you haven’t said anything about this.
I thought about it but it but I am running out of time. I fixed r2 holo gram sequences however. But that will have to wait till next year. My Main focus is the light saber fixes and laser replacements. It should be done in a few weeks. In fact I hope to have this wrapped up just before the new movie hits the theaters that’s my goal At least.
It is starting to come together finally… :}
