Whatever your feelings about ROTJ the performances of key actors are not up to the same quality as the earlier two films. Obviously it’s impossible for a fan editor to go back in time and direct new scenes with … You know who… And ahahham fnmm but what I suggest is we have strong hard look at the scenes with those characters in from the early films and see if there are aspects like inflection or voice pitch that can be altered. Some shots like the doors to the Hoth base closing work with slow camera movements and less dialogue. Can these sorts of camera moves be simulated by reframing the character in full HD to be smaller in frame and zoom into picture elements knowing that the final outcome may be in 720p? Cutting individual words adding silence or natural human emotive sounds (sighs, tutting, intakes of breath etc) might as nuance to some very flat performances. I suggest an audit of the greatness of the first two films from a character performance perspective.Looking at acting, dialogue delivery, camera work and lighting. The goal being to get the best out of what we can use.
