It’s going to be The Empire Strikes Back Ady style with Jonno’s support feature reconstruction. WUP! WUP!

I should probably get around to downloading it now that I’m back.

What’s this Jonno thing?

He has done fun reconstructions of the sorts of adverts, trailers and support pictures that would have preceded the showing of the original films in the UK.

Irregardless of if he was removed I would like to at least hear Yoda’s dialogue so he isn’t jumbling up his words like he did when he was pretending to be a goofy swamp-dweller.

He jumbles his words after he drops the crazy act - it’s just how he speaks. It would feel really weird for him to be speaking normally IMO, even in a place where the whole planet is one big city.

He drops the act and drops the speach mode. He only resumes it in Jedi when he is making the joke about looking good for his age.

Everything is spotless all around. So it pains me to even mention the one thing. When Yoda says to Luke, “Judge be by my size, do you?” His eyes turn towards Luke now and its a little off putting,

That was the very bit I loved that loved and mentioned in my previous post.

I had lots of trouble playing this (nothing to do with the file itself just my equipment falling to bits) so it was a bit frustrating and probably not the most optimal viewing experience.

However. Wow!

It felt very familiar and yet fresh.
At no point did I feel that any of the changes were things the technical wizards of the day wouldn’t have done if they had the time and the kit.

Yoda felt as much an actor performance as Sir Alec in the first one. There is a moment when he looks at Luke which is utterly sublime.

Those scout walkers are characters in their own right. Moving like stop motion but able to convey worry, nervousness etc in all the ways the battle droids of the prequels did not.

I will need to see this again many times to register some of the changes which took months (maybe years) to plan build and film. The hanger matte replacement, my biggest gripe about the original version was that hanger matte, made worse by the contrast and tinting of future versions, was over in seconds but looked much better. The Han in Carbonite and Wampa changes are almost subliminal at times and yet give the film increased tangibility.

It’s an astonishing achievement to make these sorts of improvements to an already classic and timeless movie.

I can’t wait to see what you do with the increasingly less classic third sequel and prequels as they are the films that really need rescuing.
