SW: Enhanced Edition |WIP again

Hello. This project was supposed to be ready already on September 12, 2024. But due to the lack of time, I had to delay it to 19th day of September, but that also was too little. And eventually the entire project entered a pause. The last time I did any major things to this edit was around May 2024 when I started this project, it had a OT.com post.

CURRENT SITUATION AND BACKGROUND

I started working on this on May 2024, and I used the 2019 Disney edition as the master, but then it took more space than my device could handle, so it was paused until August. I used a new master, but due to the delays, it was paused again.

Now, as of January 2025, I will restart this project. I recently finished the best version for my 1997 preservation, and I have a device which has double the amount of storage the old one had, so I set 20 Gigabytes to be the absolute maximum of this project, and will tend to use only about 10GB. I will use the 2019 Disney editions and reconstruct the 1997 editions using those. The 1997 editions I restored are not usable as the master of this project due to their 1997 quality, so I will reconstruct those using the 2019 master. Many of you will probably ask why can’t I just use 4K97 as the master, and the answer is that it takes too much space, and its colours are difficult to correct, not to mention the German audio in 4K97_V. And the other possible source would be ImBateman’s reconstruction, but ImBateman is not active or sharing the links, and MySpleen torrents have a low amount of seeders, so I will have to reconstruct them myself. I will use the least space-taking 4K77, 4K80 & 4K83 scans to replace changes made after 1997. I will also use the lowest space taking but highest quality clip of Jabba in ANH. I will then colourcorrect these to my liking. I will export the film scans as 720p 24fps. I will then use those 720p scans as the master of my fanedit. So now I will just have to make the changes. I will upload the 1997 reconstructed master somewhere private for myself and delete it from my device, but I will not share it, because it is only used for this fanedit. But unless many of you want to use it, I can share. The previosly mentioned process will start sooner or later.

A what planet?

How are you planning on having a 50fps intro while the rest of the movie is in 24fps without having jerky playback?

I am not planning to have a 50 fps intro, the full movie will be rendered as a stable 24fps, but the intro itself is 50 fps right now, but when I export the project as mp4, the full movie (including the intro) will be made 24 fps.

You can give me suggestions. I am not sure yet.

Update: The original trilogy is currently in progress and will be ready soon.

Ok and what are the changes besides logos and a couple you have listed for ANH?

ANH is currently in production, it has changes I have not listed, but when I have time to add the changes to the list, I will add them.

If you’re gonna put the Death Star near a planet, I’d recommend something like Coruscant or Geonosis. It’d be cool if it was a rather alien planet and not too Earth-like.

Thank you for the idea, I might as well actually make the Death Star near Coruscant.

Geonosis could work, since it’s pretty remote. Coruscant would be kinda weird.

It’s a secret weapon, parking it outside of the Galactic Capital would probably be noticed lol.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to add a planet nearby.
