Well, I did see it as completed. I had no plans of issuing a file, just supplying the settings I used so you could do your own render. But after revisiting TESB and ROTJ and finding some tweaks there, I think I must revisit this. Plus with the excellent -1 version now available, I have a new source to compare to and that could change some things. That gives me the GOUT (DNR’d to hell but good colors), the JSC (missing many frames, but a distinct transfer), the 97 SE broadcast (also DNR’d to hell, but also good colors), the DVD/BR (with so few changes and adjustments, they are practically the same plus they are from the same transfer), and now the Team Negative 1 35mm scan. One thing that I am trying to also do is to identify non-optical “corrections” to the film that were done to the DVD/BR transfer so I can undo them. If it weren’t for such things, it would be easy to create settings to re-render the entire move. As it is, some scenes are just crap because they “improved” them. The early scenes with C-3PO are particularly nasty. The purpose of this topic is the basic settings on top of which those “improvements” and “corrections” can be undone.
