D+77 - Star Wars - 4k Theatrical reconstruction (Released) — Page 2

What changes were missed in this awesome edit?

The changes that I noticed were:

• R2-D2 and C-3PO’s escape pod cover on Tatooine remained grey and was not changed back to blue.

• Darth Vader’s lightsaber stayed red when Luke blasted the door on the Death Star.

• The detention hall’s hallway remained altered with the special edition version when Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca were attempting to escape.

These were the only changes that I noticed which were not restored to the theatrical version; otherwise, everything else was pretty much originally unaltered and theatrical.

I remember hearing that special edition “thud” noise from when the Storm Tropper hits his head on the blast door.

When I was checking it out on the computer and comparing it to other projects side by side, I think there are some shots that can be updated to better versions. You know the film scans used to cover up the crappy CGI.

One thing that surprised me was when Luke and Leia were in that tube where they had to swing over to get away from the Storm Troopers. Their voices were super echoey.

Was the “thud” noise in those audio versions? I had thought the thud was added for the special edition from what I remember people saying about it in the 2000’s. I remember being in a message board where people thought it was brilliant to add a “thud” noise to the Storm Trooper hitting his head. At the time, I hadn’t seen the Original Trilogy since the 80’s, so didn’t know what they were talking about at the time. It seemed like in the mid-2000’s, a lot of people were liking the special edition what I saw talking about it. But at the time as mentioned, I didn’t get it as I’d had mostly forgotten Star Wars other than seeing the prequels, which were still fresh.

I’m pretty sure the “thud” was originally added in the elusive 1977 mono mix.

I put in my 2006 DVD GOUT disc and it does have that “thud” noise. Then I put in the regular 2006 DVD, and the thud is there too, just louder. So I guess the “thud” was there from the beginning. Which, for whatever reason, I had read over the years that “thud” was a special edition change.

Just saw this an hour ago. Very nicely done! The original scenes blend in quite nicely with the 4K sources.

This is now my go-to Star Wars to watch.

About the only thing I would change is that known glitch during the Death Star battle.

What “glitch” are you referring to? The one where some ships are in front of other ships when they should be behind those ships?

I misremembered it as being a “glitch”. It is more like an artifact of the effects used at the time. I am referring to that black diagonal line that shows up very briefly when a tie fighter is destroyed, starting at 1:46:28 right before Luke thanks Wedge. I believe Mike Verta talked about it in one of his restoration videos.

This is one area where I kinda prefer the CGI scenes. There were times where I got used to them so much, I totally forgot about how it used to look and it was a bit jarring when seeing the old scenes again.

Don’t get me wrong. Ever since I became aware of what Harmy and others have done to preserve the original presentations, that is what I usually watch.

I also really like D+77 because I get 4K without the HDR making everything look too dark. I do not know if this was another mastering error with the official 4K UHD release or just something that happens with playback on a non-HDR 4K display. I have seen something like this happen with other 4K UHD discs I have but most look fine.

hello I would like if someone can add spanish audio track
I could add and sync spanish audio track of harmy version, but I need to know if this video track has different duration

Hey, just stumbled on this while trying to find the original trilogy without the CGI added. The only places after looking around, the only places I’ve seen to download is on invite required sites. Is there a link I’m missing where I can see this?
