Star Wars Custom Blu Ray Saga Set (a WIP)
Time

I really like like the idea of “saga edition” for 2011. Sounds like something lucasfilm would put out so I’ll definitely change that one.

Not gonna call 04 the “DVD” edition because I’m going to use an hdtv broadcast and all of them will be on blurays, so calling it the dvd version just seems weird and makes it seem much more fan made. I’m all for changing “special edition redux” to something else, as I really only put that because I couldn’t think of anything else. Any suggestions would be awesome.

I’m gonna be pretty stubborn on the names thing though haha sorry I just can’t bring myself to put just the year to differentiate them all.

How do i download this?

Well first of all you’re going to need a virgin, a goat, and a ceremonial dagger. When you have obtained these items, return for further instructions.

Can you use a virgin goat to save a step?

No. They must remain separate to download the mkv version. However, if you only want the AVCHD version then a virgin goat will do just fine.

I just personally wanted some differentiation between the various versions beyond just the year of release. I’m basically trying to make something that looks like it could actually feasibly have come from lucasfilm and I don’t see any marketing department calling three different versions of a film the “special edition”. Also I feel it’s worth noting that neither the 2004 version nor the 2011 version have ever officially been referred to as the “special edition” or any official “version” title, so I took some creative liberties with the names.

Here is an update on the cover. I think this is the final design I’m going to go with. Any input? I added an extra disc for the 2011 version.

Calling the 2011SE the “Final Edition” seems awfully optimistic to me.

Haha well I couldn’t figure out what to call it to differentiate it from the “special editions” so I took my cues from blade runner’s “the final cut”.

He means the theatrical versions of porn, obviously.

So much debate over those original colors. Some insist her boobs are supposed to be more on the red side, but given the filmstock used, in the lighting of that motel, would produce a slightly more peachy colour to said breasts.

I’ve procured technicolor reference and am waiting for delivery.

Here’s something I could do on my own if you’re too busy, but there are a number of shots at the end of ROTJ where you can clearly see Vaders hand is just covered up by the costume and his wrist is even bent in the shot where he’s looking down the shaft after he throws the emperor. It’s something that’s always bugged me and if you could fix it that would be awesome

@dlvh I wasn’t planning on it, but if you have any specific shots you’d like to see, post them and I’ll show how I’ve corrected them.

@MoiseMust I wasn’t able to unfortunately. Although that’s probably down to operator error more than anything haha. Instead I’m simply putting each version of the film in full on it’s own timeline. As for languages, I haven’t given it my full attention yet as I’m not quite at that point in the authoring process. I was planning on including most (not all) of the audio tracks on the mkv of despecialized, but if you have specific audio you think the project would benefit from having, certainly let me know.

I like the Death Star explosion, but when it gets gradually brighter in the beginning, I think it should have a more red/yellow hue to it, to suggest it’s heating up. Looks kinda cheesy as it is. Also once it’s completely white, I would cut straight to the explosion, rather than lingering as its gets the outer glow. Just my personal opinion, but I think it would work a lot better.

I’ve begun a very minor color correction to the despecialized edition for this release. Nothing major, just fixing a couple color issues. I think Harmy matched it a little too close to the IB Tech source, which at the time everyone assumed to be a perfect representation of the original colors, but of course we now know that isn’t entirely true, as technicolor prints have inaccurate idiosynchasies of their own. Im just fixing a couple things, notably the distractingly over-yellowed tatooine scenes. But again, nothing major. Harmy crafted a masterpiece and I’m careful to not mess with it too much.
