Taking the usable deleted scenes and making the longest possible cut of ROTS
SOURCES
CLIPS
Here’s something that would probably be used in a workprint, Qui-Gon talks to Yoda. I took a bunch of lines out of the Clone Wars episode “Voices” and edited around them to add reverb and some new music. The scene with finished VFX only has a few of these lines.
Does anyone know where this scene should go? Some of the dialogue appears later, but will be cut out for this scene.
I was thinking after the council room scene, before the first Padme/Rebellion scene, and thats before Obi-Wan and Anakin talk about this. Might fit there but unsure
I realised I forgot an audio track and left out the music at the end of the elevator scene, which makes it sound a lot more complete
Holy crap! Those are great! Can I get HD links to the first two clips? Also Bobson, how are you going with your efforts to reduce the blueness in Luke’s force ghost? It’s a project I have immense interest in after seeing your test screenshots.
I’ll put them up soonish when I’m 100% happy with the scenes, still needs a minor tweak or two.
I’ve been working on that Luke ghost scene, so that should also be done soon
Also thanks for the other kind words, I plan to put these in Octorox’s extended edition to make the longest cut with finished effects, maybe adding the other DVD scene with Mace, Yoda and Obi-Wan
Did some work on the usable Blu-Ray scenes from Revenge of the Sith and fixed up the Dooku advantage line. They’d be ready to put into the film in this state I’d imagine
(the images are links btw)
There’s a few shots from the trailers and The Skywalker Legacy doco. There’s only really one actual full scene that’s been released which is Rey oiling D-O.
The doco clips can be seen here

Not sure if anyone has collected the trailer shots yet, but it’s not much if I remember.
So ROTJ has trailers and tv spots but not the other two???
Star Wars has a launch trailer, which I’m pretty sure is just this one from the Digital Collection, but other than that, nothing.

Doesn’t seem like its got too much worthwhile stuff, I thought they’d include Empire of Dreams in some capacity, maybe The Making of Star Wars or SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back, perhaps some featurettes or trailers but I mean its something I suppose.
EDIT: Glad to see that Classic Creatures got a feature on the Jedi BR, although in SD its very welcome
Here’s a version with the green reduced
And how it looks on the other shot
I would like to consider Bobson Dugnutt’s direction for the colouring as an alterante option so Bobson, if you’re still active and listening, could I by any chance grab a PM of the force ghost scenes once you’ve finished the colours? Thanks in advance.
Once I have the Blu-Ray, I’ll work on it, for now I’ve only got screenshots
Master Skywalker?
Trying to fix the hyper blue they added to Luke, so that it’s more in line with Yoda in TLJ and Obi-Wan in Empire and Jedi instead of looking like a neon hologram
I did finish the edit up, but I didn’t post any updates over here as I’m more active on fanedit.org, but feel free to PM me if you’d like it
Here’s a trailer for the release

Now then, who has a complete version of the Declan Mulholland Jabba scene to go with it? Every version of it I’ve seen has those tv station borders/logos burned in…
Look over here for some work I’ve done on the scene…
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/ANH-Jabba-Scene-Pre-Special-Edition-Recreation/id/69559
I have constantly heard about others using this seemingly magical program to do all kinds of things to videos that seems unfathomable like cleaning up dirt and subpar footage into great looking restorations, so I looking into using the program myself to simply make a standard definition, interlaced, 25fps clip into a reasonably good looking deinterlaced 23.976fps that could stand up against some HD footage. What I got a lot of technical jargon to sift through and a lot of stuff to install with little instruction about where to put it and how to type code or something.
If anyone around around here knows a decent guide or is able to help with such a request, I’d be very thankful
They’ve revealed the Bonus Features on the 2nd disc, no deleted scenes to be included much to the dismay of many who were wishing for an fanedited extended edition
I enjoy that they’ve included a lengthy doco about the making of the film, hopefully in the same vein as the very in-depth The Director and the Force from TLJ instead of a fluffy PR piece like TFA, but that remains to be seen
Let’s Hope Jabba Scene Pre-Special Edition Will Be Restored And Remastered, Eventually.
This is what I am doing?

why you don´t use the scene from the movie,change jabba with the actor and remove other things they are not original like boba…
Because so much of the frame has to be replaced in this quality and as Jabba keeps moving, its very distracting so it’s a little better to keep it like this
Wasn’t there a Japanese laserdisc that included the original deleted scene as part of the movie?
Perhaps the japanese “From SW to Jedi” you’re thinking of? That’s the only one that I know of that had the scene included, but maybe there is one out there that I’m unaware of
This is some really great work Bobson 😃
Thank you!
Now here’s the hard part, the backend of the scene with 8 different sources, all wildly differing in colour and quality. I’ve tried to get the colours as close as possible. The audio isn’t done yet and the last shot still needs work to remove the credits or just further crop them out, the shot slowly zooms in so there isn’t such as jarring cut, but it might just look like garbage, so I’m not sure.
Finished a few more shots and adjusted the first couple
Using the 2011 Blu-Ray and the recently scanned “From Star Wars to Jedi” 16mm print (as well as whatever source Jamie Benning used in Star Wars Begins, a few VHS recordings I think), I’ve tried to recreate the Episode IV Jabba scene with the original actor Declan Mulholland before the CGI slug got shoved in there.
Obviously it’s still a work in progress and the colour isn’t all there and the seams are visable, but it’s miles above what we’ve had before I think. Ideally I’d like to use a scan of the 97SE since I like that version far more, but since it isn’t completed or released yet, the Blu-Ray will suffice.
What stormtrooper scene exactly? This is the first I’ve heard of it
A livestream of him editing in real time, must be thrilling stuff.
Derpston P Derp and Bobson Dugnutt are one in the same, both are me but just different aliases for my seperate online stuff. Feel free to PM me for whatever edit you’d like.
MovieJim is on Reddit under the name moviejim1 and can be PMed here if you want as well as being around here somewhere.

I don’t know if anyone cares still, but I found a full capture of BTTF 3 from 1993 with censored overdubs. If anyone wants it for whatever reason, feel free to PM me.

May you point me to that ROTS project? Thanks!
Here’s a preview he made, regraded and regrained in 4k and it looks incredible.
https://mega.nz/#!bX5zVCZJ!EJ1lB3vHebXlMi-92oZDtydG_-DyOvKdLtl-kS76CFY
How does this upscaling to 4K work exactly? I was curious when ROTS was done by another user, but I’m unaware of how the process works.
Looks excellent by the way
This sounds like a great project, I just wanted to add that the DVD version of season 1’s “Telltale Head” is cut by almost a minute compared to the broadcast version. It’s all in the final scene. I wanted to create at least a patchwork fix for myself, but the only copy I could find of the uncut footage was on Youtube, which was good for confirming the exact details of what is missing from the DVD, but such terrible quality that it could not be used. There are other small discrepancies here and there, such as the “Tourette’s Syndrome” joke, but I believe “Telltale Head” has the only significant omissions on any of the sets.
Funny enough I have this on VHS and did a quick rip of it
