My first test of the new matching subtitles has been pretty successful, sample below (click for full size).
Things I worked on:
- The font, which is mostly Franklin Gothic Demi Cond, but you’ll see on the lowercase “g” and the question mark that I’ve modified it to look more like the theatrical font.
- The drop shadow, which is now scripted with Perl and ImageMagick (of course, one trick pony…) to look more like the solid black drop shadow of the films than the semitransparent drop shadow generated by easySUP.
- The border, which isn’t theatrical at all but is pretty much necessary if you want to read the subtitles against a white background (think Hoth). Instead of the thin black solid outline you can see in the example in the first post, it’s a thin faint semitransparent border along the northwest edge of the letters to provide some definition – much less obtrusive IMO, but still necessary.
- The blur, which you can only really see in the larger version. I blurred up the subtitles very slightly so that they appear to be part of the film itself, rather than much sharper than the rest of the film. I think this makes it look much more seamless.
I may decide to do more things, but I’m actually very happy with how this test run looks.
Please note that none of these changes are going into the regular subtitles–just the ones that are supposed to look like the burnt-in theatrical ones. In particular, don’t panic about the blur, it’s not going anywhere else.
Looks awesome CatBus!

Hello and thank you very much for these subtitles! Would you be kind enough to send me the links for the original trilogy, Despecialized Edition v2.5 in French?
Also, could you explain why you don’t want to put your subtitles on specialized websites like sous-titres.eu or subscene.com for example?
Thanks again for your work!

PM sent. There’s a few reasons I don’t put these up on subtitling websites. First, these websites typically only accept subtitles in a text format, like SRT or SSA, which would lose a lot of the value of this project, which is in the graphical subtitles – after all, I don’t actually recommend anyone use the SRT files except as a last resort, so I’m not inclined to upload the subtitles somewhere where I can’t give better options. Also, this project gets frequent enough updates that it would require re-uploading them, and many subtitling websites are designed for “upload once and it never changes”, or “have a new version? make a second (or third, or fourth…) download to confuse people”. Third, this project is ultimately a toolkit for the people creating Star Wars preservations (i.e. for Harmy, Puggo, negative1, etc) – the goal is that every preservation will have all of these subtitles built-in, so there will be no need at all to download separate subtitles. We’re not there yet, but at least the Despecialized Editions are getting there.
That said, if you want to put this project (and I’d prefer if it was the complete project rather than just the SRT files) on some site catering to a particular language, feel free.

OK thank you. I respect your vision for these subtitles. I will talk with the sous-titres.eu admins to see if we can integrate all of the French language files (not just .srt and .ass) on the website. After all, this website deals with ZIP files and not only .ass or .srt files. We could even integrate a French readme to tell users to go see this topic for updates. I will keep you updated about that.

Sure, and thanks. Of course, I was just contacted by someone who said he would soon have some suggested changes to the French subtitles, so the ground’s always moving under our feet.

Thanks. If anyone’s curious, I ended up going for a slightly more noticeable border (that’s the faint edge on the northwest side of the letters – I tested a few Hoth scenes and the previous one just wasn’t quite adequate), I reduced the blur a bit, and the positioning was also a bit off in the sample screenshot. Other than that, no changes planned.
