ANH GOUT Reconstruction (WORK HAS BEGUN FOR GOOD)

So in 2006 along with the normal special edition discs, bonus discs of the OG trilogy (unaltered) were released. even Though they had terrible quality for a DVD, the color and layout were loved by many fans, You can argue that it may be the most natural grade in ANY star wars release. I will be recreating the (ANH) GOUT in HD using 35mm sources and the color corrected version of ANH done by Adywan, with a few adjustments the color and layout will match the GOUT no problem as well as other tweaks like Greedo having no subtitles, other than that, this is completely theatrical. this fan edit will be released later this year (Maybe).

Do you guys think the death star corridor should be grey? In the gout you cant tell if its meant to be blue or grey… so i will let you decide tell me in the comments 😎

It should be blue like in Harmy’s edit. It was color graded based on 35mm sources so it would be very accurate to the original.

Right, I will post a screenshot later of the blue wall.
But remember it wont be as blue as in Harmy’s edit, because this is supposed to replicate the Gout.
So it will have a blue tint but not as much as harmy did.

Here is the edit poster the full Blu-ray cover isint done yet

Well it will be cleaner, and the color will be very different. Aswell as other things.

I mean I will post a link here instead of putting it on usenet or something.
Which is complicated for some people.

If direct download links were allowed here, don’t you think we’d all post them?

Sorry, I goofed I guess I cant do that, I will find another way to release it.

Will there be a version of this project that uses the 2019 masters as the main source in the future?

For ANH, Im using Adywans colour corrected 2011 Blu-ray, as that looks better and requires less work than a brand new color grade on the 2019 edition.

I have finally finished tweaking Adywans color graded Blu-ray. To match the Gout.

Yes, it really does look good. Having scanned at least 10 prints of Star Wars at this point I have come to accept that the colors of the GOUT are not always representative of the theatrical look of the film, however, I spent the 80s and 90s watching the VHS tapes over and over so this is how I remember the film looking and I’m very glad that you are preserving that look in such high quality. I will definitely enjoy watching it.
