Love these posters. The TROS one is just gorgeous. Great work on the text removal!

I can’t get render to work, it just makes black screenshots. I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while. I’m using version 2.8 of Blender. Can Jackpumpkinhead or someone else let me know what version of the program is used in the tutorial video? I could try with that older version.

You need to change the output settings so that it renders a video file instead of a single PNG. Or if you want a PNG sequence, hitting the Animation button should render that. Might be wrong, just going off memory here. Or maybe your frame range isn’t set right?

The cyan tint of the original is pretty bad, but monochrome and uninteresting is worse. Something in the middle would be my cup of tea.

Sounds like you would like the LUT used in Hal’s TROS edit 😃

Yup, that looks pretty fantastic! Excited to check out Ascendant when it’s completed.

does the AFTER Image Look Fake??? as its CG
Thanks

Yes. Interesting take, but I think the whole point is Luke’s face is supposed to be in darkness.

So, now that we have the film in 4K, I very much hope the deepfake that fixes Leia will be redone.

I just watched the latest iteration. The mouth is still a bit wonky, but MAN does it look amazing.

Not to change the subject too rapidly, but has anyone ever worked in the deleted clip of Yoda saying “Obi Wan would’ve told you, had I let him” to Luke? I vaguely remember someone making a rough edit of the hut scene with that clip added in awhile back, but has it been added to any edits?

I know Ziggy added the line to his edit.

That headless guy in the middle is really freaking me out.

I’m guessing he moved his head while the camera was set to a slow shutter speed? Either that, or someone did a really lousy Photoshop job removing his face for whatever reason.

His head was shopped off I guess. I wonder why?

There’s a 35mm '97 version?

Yup, 4K97_IV I think it’s called.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I’ve always assumed the thing Luke throws to kill the Rancor was a rock. It’s actually a skull.

I might be mistaken, but it seems in this new YouTube video he contradicted himself on a couple of things. Before he said the alignment of sources were performed with a semi-automatic software using the method of image registration - there even was a video demonstrating it on the SW logo.

iirc Mike’s always said that the stabilization had to be done by hand. I think he used the image registration software to fix warping.

Mike’s live on YouTube talking about Legacy.

It’s a bit dark, but if Chewie stayed dead and Rey actually spent time dealing with the demons…that would’ve made for a better movie overall. In fact I’m sure that was intended at some point but the executive hands rewrote it. Same with 3po…

I agree. I thought that was what was going to happen after Chewie’s “death scene” and I was excited for it. I remember thinking “holy shit, Rey kills Chewbacca, this is going to be good,” but then we learn he’s still alive a minute later and Rey doesn’t really have to deal with it. Would’ve loved to see more of her struggling with the darkness within her, and afraid to continue on, fearing that she’ll destroy the rest of her friends.

Really like what you’re doing here! I’d pick 2, ESB footage looks most natural to me. I’d also love to see a Sebastian Shaw version, though I realize the resources available for that are limited.

Maybe someone could isolate the Nightsister magic sound effects from The Clone Wars and add it to some Exegol moments to convey the feeling that a mysterious power is at work.

Dang it, I wish the Star Wars Soundboard flash game were still up, I’m pretty sure they had some of those sounds.

I archived all of the sounds a while back, it’s available here:

Did you flip that shot of Boba in Jabba’s palace or was that done on the initial release of 4K83?

Either way, I’m glad to see it corrected. That shot always bothered me.

That shot is from the Lapti Nek scene, which has always been like that (not mirrored). The mirrored shots of Boba Fett you’re thinking of are from the Boushh/Chewie scene. Presumably they stay mirrored in this version.

Looks nice, but in this case I think this scene should definitely lean towards blue, to contrast the scene in TFA that is red.

Always thought it was Carrie
Edit: Listening to it again it sounds like Nev is right

Was at least hoping for some new OT deleted scenes or something. There’s so much material they could release. Would be awesome to see anything new. But nope. That’s Disney for you.

Wow, color me amazed. Fantastic work.

At the beginning of this shot in ROTJ you can see Luke, Chewie, and Threepio hitching a ride to the shuttle.

I like the slow-mo, I think it shows that Luke’s reflexes are quicker than Kylo’s.

Found it on a stock image site here. There were 2 versions on there, duplicate images but with different watermark placements. I combined them to make a clean image: https://i.imgur.com/8FWS0Nt.png
It’s slightly cropped on the bottom though. Found another one here (not cropped but lower res).
That’s the best I can do, but I bet someone else has a better one. 😃

The Empire Strikes Back: 10/10
Star Wars: 10/10
The Rise of Skywalker: 8.5/10
Return of the Jedi: 8/10
The Force Awakens: 7.5/10
The Last Jedi: 6.5/10
Rogue One: 6.5/10
Revenge of the Sith: 2/10
The Phantom Menace: 1.5/10
Attack of the Clones: 1/10

Have to see TROS again.

Pretty damn awesome. The retcons don’t make much sense, but they make the film much more interesting (as well as 7 and 8.) Wasn’t expecting Rey Palpatine at all, but I like it. I was rooting for that twist in Episode 8. Snoke = the Emperor works I guess. Hard to bring Palps back without that being the case.
It’s way too fast paced, and I was a bit overwhelmed. Should’ve been split into 2 movies or something. I’m eager to see some deleted scenes. Hopefully, edited in, they can give the film the breathing room it needs. An official extended edition would be great; it feels like they cut the film down a ton.
TROS is not perfect of course, but I really loved it. I’ll admit that the ending had me in tears. Way better than I was expecting after seeing the crap Rotten Tomatoes score. (Also I loved the John Williams cameo) For now I give it an 8.5/10
