I find the whole 35mm shots to be vastly superior to some of the mixed-source rotoscoped shots in the other releases. Though part of that may be due to his ever increasing skill and sources, since the rotoscoped parts of Jedi 2.5 look fantastic. But this thread really isn’t for general reviews and preferences. It’s for pointing out actual errors.

Well I guess this is where there is a difference of opinion. While I may have written in the form of a review. To me the errors are that while watching the film I could tell almost every time it went to a shot from the 35mm LPP because it doesn’t match the surrounding material because of the darkness, contrast, and softness. I was taken out of the the story.

Shots that were rotoscoped in other editions (even dating back to 1.0) were all pretty seamless to me. I was not taken out of the story. In my book, if you are noticing a color shift, and getting jarred out of the story - that qualifies as an error.

Also, I just went back and looked at the Rancor scene from the official release and compared it to my LaserDiscs of the GOUT and v2.5. There were at least five shots that Harmy claims were recomposited. Four when Luke puts the bone in the Rancor’s mouth and then when the Rancor keeper is crying over the beast’s death. But for the life of me, they appear to be the same.

And saying that this film was given the short shrift doesn’t mean Harmy didn’t put a lot of work into it. I thanked him for all his work. But considering the amount of roto he did on Star Wars (even going to so far as to keep the original star field while removing the praxis ring) it does appear to me that he put less work/effort into ROTJ and had a lesser standard for what passes muster than he did with SW and ESB.
