Adywan,

I know your cup is clearly running over with all the projects you are undertaking but I have to ask. The work you are doing here is stellar and so much better than what Wookie Groomer is doing, (not to mention all the drama), Could you make these new encodes sized for BD-9's and BD-25's.  I am not asking for fancy menue's or anything just that the files are encoded to compliant 1920 x 1080p so that those of us with Blu-ray burners can create our own Blu-ray's. Pretty please with sugar on top.

I am toying with a more classic set for just the trilogy...

 

Galatians 2: 20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

The Force is strong with this one!

No, seriously, Adywan, now when Empire Revisited and this comes out I will finally be able to invite my friends who've never seen a SW movie before to come over and view your AWESOME work! I don't think I'd be able to wait until ROTJ revisited though... But this will do just fine till then!!

Thanks ! Thanks again ! Thanks one more time!

You've just made my day.

Yippie!! (I shouldn't be quoting those darn prequels, but who cares...)

AOTC may be coming soon..... but this is coming sooner.......... (but still a couple of months away yet, i'm afraid)

 

Here's hoping for new star fields in the AVCHD ROTJ? Maybe?

 

I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

Adywan are you going to do anything about the sabers. I sound a little whiny but those sabers are killing me.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

The cores wil be back to being white but i won't be doing anything about the thickness because that's how they appeared originally

That is all I need. I loved the sabers when I was a little kid on the VHS and later on the SE. The 2004 dvds made me hate the sabers. I dunno why they weren't fixed. They were actually 10 times worse than any release.

I have no problem with the big "whiffle bat" sabers in ROTJ. It's just those damn colors that were completely ruined in the 2004 DVDs. Thank goodness Ady will be restoring them back to red and green with white cores.

Hey Adywan, are you going to be able to fix that horrible "crossed saber" issue when Luke tries to cut off the Emperor's head? I can't believe how horrible that looks. Apparently it doesn't take much to be a QC person at Lucasfilm! ;)

I'm still not sure how they broke that saber.  It looks like one could adjust the brightness and get a decent fix (I set the white balance to the core of Vader's saber on this):

This brings out the Emperor's "slug" in a big way (never noticed it until I was playing with this yesterday).

The best way is saber replacement:

Special thanks to Ady for sending me an AE project file with his sabers so I could replicate them exactly using Photoshop.  This is also responsible for my random signature.

005, those sabers honestly look better than ever!

Yes, nice job! It's still amazing how weird the DVD version looks.

And this is one of those instances (for the sake of ROTJ:R, not this release) where some interactive lighting might be good. I agree that it's not necessary all the time, but if any scene could look good with it, this is the one.

Wow!  That's good news.  I'm far more anxious for ROTJ than AOTC.  Is it the theatrical like ESB?  I hope so.
