A slow work in progress of an extended cut of ESB. There’s a lot of stuff out there from a lot of sources, so I’m not 100% on exactly what I will and won’t use. I’ve finished a pass most of the Hoth section of the film so far.

Extended Opening

Extended Medical Bay

Han/Leia Arguemnt

Rough Wampa Attack (almost no sound mix)
https://vimeo.com/689887320

Obviously none of these clips are 100% finished yet, and the sound design (more than anything) needs a lot of work as most deleted clips are silent or have an extremely minimilist sound mix using only on-set audio. If anyone wan’t to help out with sound design, I’d be more than happy to work with you.

ADDITIONS (so far)

• added additional shot of Probe Droid rising up after landing
• added exteneded scene of the Wampa attacking Luke
• added extended scene with Han telling Chewie he’ll be right back
• added extended Echo Base argument with Han/Leia
• added a Wampa attacking Echo Base
• added extended Medical Bay scene
• added C-3PO ripping the sign off the Wampa trap door
• added a Snowtrooper being pulled into the Wampa trap room

With all of those scenes back, the film runs at 2:09:22 vs the theatrical 2:04:54. Obviously there is going to be more additions and trims and all that to get the deleted scenes and moments to all work as best I can.

I plan on making one version with the finished colour scene, and another with the unfinished B/W ones, since there is a lot of interesting stuff in these exclusively monochromatic scenes.

Also this print isn’t matted fir 1.33.1 it’s actually a wider and taller aspect ratio than that

I can’t wait to see all the boom mics and matte boxes in frame

Once you buy and download it through iTunes, you can use a DRM removal tool like TunesKit, and then you’ll have a workable m4v file to do with as you please.

Has anyone reuploaded the full deleted reel since? It would be great to see this alt. version of the scenes which look to be less damaged than the Blu-Ray scenes.

Any Plex posters?

There’s an “iTunes” cover included. I’d imagine that’d work best.

I think this TikTok Text-to-Speech thing might just be the most worthwhile breakthrough we’ve had since the invention of the NLE.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more…

The bloopers are partially on the Ep3 2020 disc, but they’ve been cropped and have been re-encoded to 30fps or something because there is some significantly bad ghosting. I’ve never heard of it being on iTunes before though, but I’d love to see it if it is

I’d absolutely pitch in a few bucks too to go towards this scan!

I’m after the deleted calamari pilot shot so if anyone else takes this on would you mind sharing?

I did a quick DNR pass at the footage and it doesn’t look half bad

Still needs dirt and scratches cleaned, but if you give me a specific clip or segement to work on, I can give it a shot

I might check those guys out. Do they have any websites or profiles I can look at?

You can message either one of those guys right here on this forum. Willarob has done many Bond pictures, Star Wars films, and everything inbetween. TomArrow (or LucasGodzilla here on OT) does a lot of varied work as well, and I’ve donated to prints scanned by both of them with exceptional quality.

Where’d you get your scanning prices from? I think if you get in touch with Willarob, TomArrow, or those guys who have done some great scanning recently, it only costs a few hundred.

Not sure if anyone still cares, but I’m pretty sure these should be all 4 Featurettes as featured on the disc.

1. Costume Drama - https://youtu.be/DUCjfLGMiJA

2. TPM Costumes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cWexTfyzUI

3. P-19 Webisode https://youtu.be/3Wjk_-E5LoQ

4. Epic Designs For An Expanding Universe https://youtu.be/fbp1PLFikog

5. EPK Costumes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdho-o-XooU

I still think this should cover it, but it would still be fun to preserve the disc.

Sorry to Necro such an old thread, but I managed to get the S2 Bonus Disc and all its special features.

Someone on Reddit bought the disc and uploaded it to Archive.org. I grabbed it when I could but I don’t think it’s still up there. If anyone is interested, I can reupload it.

The Season 1 disc is still missing, so if anyone is able to find that too, it would make a great match.

Just bought the disc to see if I can free the files from the harsh early 2000s encryption itself! I’ll try and upload it somewhere for all to see when it arrives

It’s looking damn impressive Nev, can’t wait to see Han’s face post-operation@

• Lloyd almost getting hit buy a car while walking into the convenience store (apparently aired on TBS, but never remember seeing it. Replaces scene of Lloyd leaving store swinging restroom key around)

What is this scene? I’ve never seen mentions of it and can’t find it anywhere online

What’s the idea? Rotate the whole frame?

Section 3 is looking good, and I can’t notice any flaws. From memory, I think there was another audio change in TPM, as the senate chanting was changed from “Vote now!” to incoherent yelling. I think this was a DVD change, but I’m not 100% sure as it could of been a BR change.

Otherwise, I haven’t noticed any technical or factual errors, it’s looking good!

Other than the Episode III clip with Dooku, I’ve never heard of anything showing up. There’s the battle droid line in Trivial Pursuit too.

Any updates on this? Clips look good so far.

This edit should be released this coming Monday as everything is pretty much set in stone.

Here’s a fun little bonus featuring some excerpts from the commentary track, with George, Ben Burtt and Rob Coleman talking about deleted scenes, with some added relevent visuals.

Here’s what Ridley was able to do, there’s just one shot that needs something done about it but it’s otherwise great.

I’m amazed how good that compositing looks, especially since its all B/W to begin with.
The colours also look great and natural. I hope to see this scene completed soon hopefully!

WOW that looks incredible. Did Zig’s 35mm scan come out already or did someone else get their hands on a print? Either way I’m hard. I haven’t watched this film proper in ages with the exception of the version I got from you almost a year ago. I’m in eager anticipation of this. Keep up the good work my dude, TPM deserves more love from the fan restoration community.

Puppet Yoda this time around or CGI?

Zig’s 35mm scan hasn’t come out yet, this is a seperate scan that’s been done by different people.

I still don’t love the film, I think its a boring mess of crap but I think it’s important that it’s preserved in some fashion.

CG Yoda still for this project, cleaning up the Puppet Yoda will take a lot more time.

Speaking of cleanup, here’s a comparison with the first 4 35mm shots

Work has restarted on this as I now have a 35mm scan of the theatrical cut, and am now using it as a source instead of the HDTV version. I’ve cut the 2019 Blu-Ray to line it up with ZigZig’s laserdisc, and am using the 35mm scan to fill the gaps, of which there are 9.

Here’s a look at a bit of the work I’ve done on the 35mm, trying to make it look a little closer to the Blu-Ray, but of course there’s still some grain and scratches that prevail since this is the raw scan with no cleanup.

Top is the raw scan, then my colour/cleanup, and then the Blu-Ray.

Here’s the clip in motion
