Awesome!

Harmy, what clued you in about the giant door shot being a recomp in 2004 (perhaps even 1997)? Looks pretty close to the original to me.

The 2011 change is one of the most mysterious. Perhaps there really was a reason that this shot in particular was changed? Like they had to recreate it in 2004 anyway, so they had the digital assets to just go around messing with it further? It’s always interesting seeing Mike Verta’s videos and learning that it’s quite likely that some of Lucas’s changes are due to o-neg damage rather than creative vision.

Edit: I wonder if some of your rancor shots in the gallery are 2.0 and not 2.5. The last few seem very dark compared to the adjustments you made for 2.5.
