Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released) — Page 684

The guy with no name may be able to help find the bad shots. He worked on a remaster of the 2020 Blu-ray of Star Wars and fixed many of the known problems, including detail loss, static grain and displaced power windows.

Since his project was never officially released, but he is still active, you might ask him if he knows a list of problematic shots on the UHD Blu-ray or if he could even provide finished, fixed shots.
If you would like to find out more, here is the link to the project: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/STAR-WARS-EPISODE-IV-2020-4K-blu-ray-Remastered-WIP/id/99662/
Maybe that would make the work for v3.0 a little easier. 😃

In fact, on the ESB Despecialized forum I already told Harmy that TGWNN is working on that remastering of the 2020 Blu-Ray adding details that were erased by the strong DNR and that only exist in the 2011 BR, currently he is working on 4K77 remaster, but I could ask him for a list of scenes where the 2011 BR looks better to fix the 2020 one, although the best thing would be to rotoscope those elements that look better in the 2011 BR to add them to the 2020 BR, since they are usually background elements like the rubber walls of the Millennium Falcon, since other elements that are closer in the 2020 BR usually look better.

I’m not sure if this change has been mentioned anywhere or if anyone else has noticed it, but I spotted something in the first scene on Tatooine.

When comparing Despecialized v2.7 and the UHD Blu-ray, I noticed that the sky appears to have been either brightened or replaced. I also saw that there’s a visible soft edge between the sand and the sky, which doesn’t look quite right. It looks like this change was introduced with the UHD Blu-ray.

Here are some comparison images:

• Despecialized v2.7:
• UHD Blu-ray:

I haven’t seen any discussions about this yet, and in a sneak peek video from Harmy, this change seems to have been kept—though you can briefly see the original sky during a wipe.

Would it maybe be possible to revert this for v3.0?

I saw on the forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com that a change to the 2019 BD has been discovered that is not documented anywhere yet. I wanted to share this information here so that this change can be reversed for DEED v3.0 or other projects if necessary for maximum accuracy.

I don’t see that missing thing in R2.

It’s on the bottom left side.

How do I find the download links?
