Adywan posted his early attemt in the hoth video ages ago. 

Yep...sorry forgot about that.....found the video on LadyFerry's youtube channel.

Ady's already done that (as aalenfae had also predicted)

Hope you don't mind a question/suggestion from a first time poster, and a bit of gushing... I recently watched The Empire Strikes Back for the first time since... well, the 1997 Special Edition re-release (which was my very first Star Wars experience), using Harmy's Theatrical Reconstruction. I watched A New Hope Revisited last week, and I could not have been more impressed. Even as a kid I knew the New Hope Jabba scene was ridiculous, and I honestly look back at it as the reason I never got in to Star Wars the way so many people have. I can't wait to watch the completed, Revisited OT with fresh eyes.

One thing stuck out to me for Empire Strikes Back, and while I have read a lot of this topic, I don't know if this has been brought up in the last 1002 pages, but it wasn't in your original post for specified changes...

In the Theatrical Reconstruction (I do NOT know if it is in any other edition), the scene where Han is frozen in carbonite had a continuity error where Han changes outfits, specifically during the 'I love you' exchange. I know for certain that it happens twice, once with 'I love you' and once with his reaction shot of his cuffs being tightened. In the long shots, he's in the white shirt, in the close-ups he has his vest.

Is this something you are aware of, willing to fix, capable of fixing?

And a really huge, sincere thank you for all the hard work you're putting in to this edit.

I believe that was already fixed by Lucas himself for the '04 Special Edition, so it's certainly do-able. I'm not sure whether Adywan intends to un-fix it though... I would guess that he would keep it fixed.

I'm sure Adywan could do a better job than LFL did...still looked unnatural to me

As I recall the official word was that he was never wearing his jacket in that shot but it was just a trick of the lighting that made him look like he was.

If the Blu-Ray is to be the source wouldn't it be difficult to undo the Lucas crop?

I imagine there would be too much movement in the shot to realistically replace the shirt and the resolution would be mismatched to restore it in it's corrected form.

I don't know, I think that was one area where LFL did a decent enough job.

I think the problem Bingowings has pointed out is that to have it uncropped, Ady would have to use the GOUT as a source just for that one shot. The shot before it was corrected and cropped doesn't exist in any other form, therefore there'd be a visible drop in quality. Even if it was masked in a way that it was just the outfit and the removed parts of the frame that were GOUT sourced, it would still be a noticeable drop in quality.

Yes it's definitely do-able, the brightened 'real' shirt i photoshopped in came from the following shot of Han lowering into the carbon chamber, I just skewed it and meshed it a bit to fit over the darkened shirt....therefore Han and the new shirt could be HD sourced this would leave just the out of focus background to uncrop....which luckily is not the focal point of the scene.

Ah. I had no idea that there was another shot with a near identically positioned shirt in it. Now it makes sense :-)

Good point, she certainly Twitters a lot.

 

Meh.

I personally don't think the donation is a good thing, I think it put useless pressure on Adywan's shoulders if anything.

I think the amount of energy and human's life time used for this project is at the same time amazing and maybe also starts to be not healthy. But that's just me.

Good luck and Keep up the good work though, just don't loose your mind.
