Hi Harmy,
Can I get a link to both HD and SD versions? I've been looking for days at various edits and, once I saw yours...... Just WOW!
PM also sent :-)
Could I please get links to the SD and HD versions?
Thank the maker!
PM sent as well :-)
Hi Harmy!
Finally finished downloading all the files today (took me a week and a half with our less than ideal ISP). It was well worth the wait - you've performed miracles in despecializing Empire, and I feel like for the first time in a VERY long while I'm able to watch an old friend again 99.9% how I remembered it. Prior to your work I relied on the GOUT upscaled, but now I'll be able to kiss that one goodbye.
THIS is THE Star Wars release of the year for me - September 12th has come early ;)
There were literally only a few instances where I can tell footage has been mixed, and even then it's purely because I've watched this film more times then I care to mention! I loved what you did with the Falcon cockpit in zooming the shot out again - flawless! It bought tears to my eyes to see the truly awful "alert my Star Destroyer" section excised and the original and perfectly paced & scored sequence restored to its former glory - great stuff!!! Lovely to see the lightsabers restored to their former glory too particularly in the dagobah cave sequence. Ditto the Hoth Wampa sequence which is now back to its original and scarier best!
My only slight criticism (hey there had to be one!) is that the colours - at least on my monitor - looked a bit too red in places. However using VLC and turning the saturation down by only a slight amount restored things to near-perfection.
Thank you so much for bringing back this film in such high quality Harmy - the work you've put into this is of a very high standard and one can tell it must have been hard work. It's very much appreciated by this fan and it'll be the version I watch either on my own or with others!
Needless to say I am eagerly following/looking forward to your Star Wars Despecialized edition.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I must admit, that going through it again, there are some places where the skin tones are too red, particularly in the Hoth battle. I guess I got so focused on getting it closer to the saturation boosted GOUT, which in itself is red-shifted, that I lost perspective. I still maintain that I really like most of the colours though, especially Dagobah and most of Bespin, so I won't be making a new version just for that. And anyhow, anyone can do what you did and turn the saturation down a bit when watching it B-) But anyway, I'm trying to avoid this issue in STAR WARS as much as possible.
Harmy
Can I get a link for the HD version? THANKS

Harmy, If you would not mind can you please send me a link to the HD version. Thanks!
PMs sent :-)
hello harmy thank you very much for the link, really enjoyed the HD vesion of ESB,
wanted to know if is possible and how I could change the track of foreign language for the Spanish track of gout dvd
thanks in advance, would be the definitive version of ESB for me.
That shouldn't be a problem to do using TS Muxer, if you go through my PDE thread, there (somewhere within the first 10 pages or so) is a tutorial on how to apply an audio fix to an old version of ROTJ - you'd do it the same way.
THANKS Harmy
Adywan just released a comparison video of his new lightsabres vs. 04SE and I was glad to see that it looks similar to the way I colour corrected that scene in the Despecialized Edition. He of course re-rotoscoped the sabres, so his are higher quality but the general impression is very similar.
I'll post a comparison video later :-)
Sounds like fun!Harmy said:

OK, here it is, but the last third got somehow screwed up, so I'll re-encode and re-upload it later:
Just with color correction, you did this? Impressive! Most impressive!Harmy said:

Here's the fixed version. I couldn't get it to render properly at 1080p, so it's 720p only.
Harmy, this is amazing. My go-to version of Empire for sure. Thanks so much! Your work is very appreciated!
Thanks :-)
Can I have links please? Are you from Czech Republic?
