Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released) — Page 600

Thanks for the reply. So I’ll just wait for the other one to finish his re-translation; I have recently synchronized french subtitles with Q2’s “Return of the Jedi”, wouldn’t be too much work to re-sync them back with the GOUT audio, but for EpVI there are not really bad translations (ANH really is the one which requires a deeper re-translation work), just things to be improved here and there, more to my taste (such as using the proper names, “Darth Vader” and not “Dark Vador”, etc.). I’ll let you know by PM if I find enough time to finish that.

Sure. If I understand correctly, the French GOUT subtitles are unique. Nearly every home video release (VHS, Laserdisc, GOUT, etc) got a fresh new translation – some good, some bad, and none of them matched the theatrical subtitles. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the French GOUT subs, so I imagine they’re not the best of the bunch – but DVDs are easy to rip, so everyone uses the GOUT subs anyway. I’d be happy with any corrections.

MalàStrana, I’m curious, it would seem you are French, so why is your user name a Czech name of one of Prague’s districts?

Harmy, I have a question about the future v3.0. I know that the current plans for that release are to upscale all three films to HD. But, as for the question, do you plan Mike Verta for some footage from his Legacy Edition Restoration, in order to incorporate it into that release? I know it might be a little too much to ask, since you have given so much to the community already, and on top of that, all the legal issues of Mike’s restoration, due to his proximity to the film industry. Just a small suggestion. Thanks for the consideration.

Well he won’t be ‘upscaling’ them to 1080, they will legitimately be 1080.

Oh. Sorry about the misguidance.

drifiting a bit off-topic, you can actually see David Prowse behind the Darth Vader (like you already know 😐) just a little thing I spotted while watching 2.7.

increased brightness and contrast

Vader!

What do you want to say with this? The goal of Despecialized is to recreate the theatrical version, not to “fix” it. If Prowse was visible in theaters in 1980, he should be visible in Despecialized. Things like this make people think you’re trolling.
Or did you want to post this in Adywan’s Revisited thread?

You Can only see it when you increase brightness anyway.

'Cause I’ve been in a training period in Praha a few years ago and I loved this district.

edit: but I used a different accent on the “a”, otherwise it would be quite difficult to enter my username with an azerty keyboard 😃

Seriously don’t be a dickhead Frink he’s just trying to be helpful.

Anyway Harmy I noticed in 2.5 that if I freeze a frame of Mark Hamill, tweak the contrast, and then photoshop his mouth upside down it looks a little bit mental. I then popped in Empire 2.0 to see if I could recreate the issue and sure enough it looks like that release is affected as well.
Example

I popped in my legit retail BD of Lethal Weapon to see if it had the same problem and it wasn’t as bad but then I also photoshopped Mel Gibson’s eyes so they were looking in different directions and I could start to tell it had the same problem too.
Example

Just a quick heads up, don’t know if this can be taken care of in 3.0 or not.

…well, this place is not creative enough,

By the way In 2.5 you can see a blue sky.
And in 2.7 Han shot first.

Look closely in 2.7, brighten up the contrast, and you can see the sandcrawler is from the GOUT.

obvious sarcasm is obvious

Quick question: How does v2.7 improve upon v2.5 of SW despecialized? I’ve watched both and feel that the technicolor coloring of v2.5 looks alot better (in my opinion)

Which is why I didn’t take v2.5 links down - it’s all a matter of taste.

Doesn’t it also replace several GOUT-sourced shots with equivalent shots from 35mm film prints? That seemed to be the more relevant tidbit to me at least. The colors… I think 2.5 looked fine on that front.

Also in mine. But it’s nice to have both.

Aren’t you going to have to pick one when you start work on 3.0?

3.0 will of course have a multi angle feature for different color styles.
