I’d try to match 4K77 v1.4 as far as 4K output. I don’t have it on hand so I can’t tell you bitrates or anything, but it’s h265 for sure.
PS: TNT, instead of filling everyone’s post with odd suggestions, you could always try to make your own edit. Just saying…

Expanse S04 is very good, and S05 will be the best of them all if they stick reasonably close to the book. Can’t speak for beyond that as I’ve yet to finish book 6 or beyond.
You mean the set that’s coming out on the same day as the standalone release?
What are you talking about TNT???
My reaction to everything he posts.

Hmm…are you sure? I know the filename says v2, but the Rancor shots all look very 2004/2011 recomposited and not much like 1983/1997…
EDIT: That’s because they are, because V2 still uses the 2004/2011 recomps. The version I thought I was downloading as mentioned on October 9th’s post doesn’t actually exist yet. That’s disappointing, but entirely my own fault for not going back one more page to the September 30th post.
I think that’s a very safe assumption, yes.
Also, if anyone ever comes across a non-revised first draft, please let me know! I’ve never seen it. (The one I linked doesn’t say “revised,” but it’s identical to all the ones labeled “revised first draft” I’ve ever found and I just tried to link to the best-quality copy of each draft I could Google within ten minutes since I didn’t feel like figuring out which hard drive my PDF’s are on.)
Is there any mention of the extended conference room dialogue we saw only recently in any of the scripts?
Is there any script where Ben Kenobi does not die on the death star? This is an admitted change to the script by Lucus himself.
Could you actually link to some versions I did look at one version.
I think it is quite impossible to know you need original shooting script and shooting schedule and shooting script revisions. It would be quite complicated due to the various rewrites during shooting.
If non-print sources are still needed, I have a feeling they won’t use any D+ frames until the physical discs are out so they aren’t hamstrung by streaming quality defects.
I don’t know, though. Hopefully williarob will chime in on that one.
I for one remain convinced that the DLP and DVD versions are the same, but I seem to be the only one. Everyone else assumes that the extension to the Lars garage scene with Anakin and Padme was added for the DVD, but I have my doubts about that.
The 35mm version definitely didn’t have it though, that’s a certainty.
Cool, thanks!
Will this version be released on the 'spleen?
I just uploaded it there and I’m seeding…
Hey stretch, is the version you uploaded to MySpleen the updated v2.0 (with 4K83 used for the Rancor scene, etc), or the initial v1.0 release?
Honestly, you guys might want to hold off. Dre is doing a reel by reel color correction that looks excellent and preserves the original color differences from shot to shot from the print (1.4 uses Sanjuro’s shot by shot color correction, which does not) and removes the green tint, and Williarob will be using Dre’s new correction for an update that will also replace many of the patched-in Blu-Ray frames with new 4K print scans (some from an LPP print, some from a 1997 SE print).
No set timetable or anything but I don’t think it’ll be too crazy long since Dre’s been working through the reels fairly quickly and I believe Williarob has already begun prepping the replacement frames so he can just drop in Dre’s LUTs once they’re finished.
Seems to me like it’ll be well worth the wait and might make v1.4 effectively obsolete.
Yeah, your life and sanity take precedence, especially when we’re talking about a movie that quite clearly brings you no joy.
Take a step (or ten) back and let others tackle this one for the time being. Who knows, maybe something that someone else does with it will spark some inspiration for you to hop back into it - and if not, there will absolutely be plenty of options for people to choose from to follow TLJ: Legendary!
(Let’s be real, don’t all of us have a hodgepodge of edits from different editors as our own personal “definitive” sagas at this point, anyway?)
Hello,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I’m just wondering what the rules are with gifting the Despecialised Editions? My uncle is a Star Wars fan and owns the official release so would it be okay for me to make a copy for him or does he have to obtain it himself?
You can absolutely gift him a copy.
And what about gifting the Despecialised Editions to someone who doesn’t own an official release? I’m guessing you’d have to buy an official release for them to go with the Despecialised Editions to make it legitimate.
Here’s what I’ll say about this…
What do you mean, “legitimate?”
If you mean “legal,” then there’s nothing you can do to “make it legal,” because having a copy of Despecialized or any fan edit or restoration is inherently illegal no matter how you got it or what official version(s) you own.
If you mean “ethical,” that’s up for debate but personally, they’d need to own an official copy.
The “own the source” rule is to protect the project creators, the community, and the site, and doesn’t really have anything to do with legality.
PSA to all:
VLC was once good. Not so much these days. You’re much better off with MPC-HC or MPV.
The Last Jedi takes place immediately after the events of The Force Awakens. Rian Johnson even said so himself. Rey only gives Luke the lightsaber after Finn asks Poe about Rey.
Way to fundamentally misunderstand the way movies are edited.
Aren’t you Canadian?
But I can’t download them on my software
Why not? What is it about your “software” that prevents you from being able to download them?
The only computer I have is a horrible chromebook. It’s really only good for email.
That shouldn’t be a problem as long as you have an Internet connection and a large enough hard drive (which can be an external USB hard drive), right? Granted, I know next to nothing about Chromebooks, so maybe something else about them precludes being able to download large files…
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of what Adywan did with Yoda, but I do agree that some enhancement to his eyes is warranted, especially in ROTJ. Sometimes they’re supposed to be closed but are still open, sometimes they’re the opposite, sometimes they’re cross- or lazy-eyed, etc.
I was just asking if you were talking about something along the lines of what he did, or something more drastic.
I’m talking about something that looks, expresses emotions, and moves more realistically and organic, like how real organisms would do.
Um. Okay. But how are you suggesting this be accomplished? Using morph effects like Adywan? Deepfaking CGI Yoda on top of puppet Yoda? Replacing puppet Yoda with CGI altogether? Genetically engineering a real Yoda, filming it, and compositing it over the puppet?
Suggesting a drastic change without an idea of how it might be achieved isn’t terribly useful.

You mean like Adywan did in ESB:R and is doing in ROTJ:R?
If it alters the colors it has to be a reencode by definition. The question is whether it’s a reencode of an already reencoded version, or whether it’s a reencode of the master file (so, how many generations of encoding has it undergone).
