No there isn’t, and we don’t know yet. ANHR:HD will release first, and after that It may take several more years. Adywan takes his time on these projects.

Wasn’t it so, that he makes ANHR:HD and ROTJR:HD more or less simultaneously?
And that they will be released at the same time respectively shortly one after another?

I can only say one thing to framerate “enhancement”…

Artifacts free version? What do you mean?

There are some blocky artifacts in some dark scenes.
Like in the scene when Luke comes out of the connection tunnel into the room where he gets pelted by Vader and then falls through the window on Bespin.

It’s better visible in motion.

I think that was a masking error or so.

As far as I can remember, Adywan meant that he will fix that with the next release of it, together with ANH and ROTJ.

Could we maybe use the new Video Enhance AI software method to enhance the current Adyan Editions till HD versions are about ? 🤔

Sure that would be feasible.

I rather would wait for ANH and ROTJ in 720p and the artifacts free ESB and AI scale all three movies up to 1080p or even 4k.

I don’t know if it may help with the grain problem.
But there is a very powerful plugin for Premiere, After Effects and other video editing programs called Neat Video.

It’s not to expensive too.

I hope the fake stormtroopers etc. in the hangar scene will be replaced with something more convincing. ^^

I feel like I’m regurgitating a bunch of my favorite ideas from the ROTJ collaborative thread, but I’ve always liked the BTL-B Y-wing design and think it complements the OT’s Y-wing nicely.

That are the same ships.

The OT Y-Wings just have their armor panels removed because they are easier and faster to maintain this way.
Also the armor was total useless against modern fighters so it was already obsolete and just made the Y-Wings slower.

So it makes no sense to put them in ROTJ.

My favorite part of ESB:R was the use of the AT-STs. If I were to mention one thing I’d love to see (and I know I’ve mentioned it in multiple threads), it would be the inclusion of Victory-class Star Destroyers at the Battle of Endor. The illustration below was an early sketch of a potential design for the Imperator-class, and was later adopted by West End Games to create the Victory-class, as they likewise did with other early designs (such as the Z-95 Headhunter, taken from an early X-wing sketch)

I have always loved the design and believed wholeheartedly it would be included in the prequels. I was utterly disappointed when instead we got the stupid looking Venator-class. I’ve got other ideas I intend to share, but if all I could ask for was one thing, this would be it.

Seeing some Victorys at the Battle of Endor would be fantastic.

Maybe Adywan could get some help from Fractalsponge who makes wonderful Star Wars 3D models.

Maybe Fractal also could come up with a good shuttle design for the Tydirium replacement.

You’ve now got me wondering what ‘Bossk’ said to ‘Admiral Piett’ in the bounty hunter scene… Was it something rude?

For me (as a german) it sounds very like “Pass bloß auf!” which means “Watch it!” in german.
Which would makes sense because Piett insulted them as scum before.

I just noticed that it sounds the same in english after I watched it the first time without dubbing.
Before that I thought Bossk would say it in basic with an trandoshan accent.

And to keep it on topic (not to mention that I did bring up another female that is in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK), is there any way to add a CGI overlay or whatnot to the AT-AT heads to give them more detail (or just more texture), being that the close-ups look very model-ly?

I figure nothing can be done (short of ILM and a few million pesos), but just wondering if ANYthing could be done to spice up the head shots...

Regardless, here is a 3-D AT-AT head (and body) someone created:

As far as he said is that he didn't finished the model at all.
