Is there a way to get a GOUT synced 1080p version of this? I got the 720p reencode from the spleen but would like to have the higher resolution.
How would you GOUT-sync the Grindhouse version without re-encoding it?
I think he is talking about the conversion to 720p. I also would love to have a GOUT synced 1080p version of the SSE.
Hello all!
I have a few questions about older versions and plans for future versions of the the Despecialized trilogy as a whole.
Would this be a good thread to use, or is there another place better suited to that more generalized topic than the Star Wars thread?
I think this is the right place.
Also make sure that the format option of your TV is set to “original” or “just scan” or something similar.
How is the 2.0 audio sourced? This looks fantastic by the way. The final, cleaned-up version of this will be my preferred version of Jedi.
Is anyone working on a cleaned up version of ESB or ROTJ?
Actually, R2 wouldn’t have been completely monochrome - they really had a model with all black panels that they used to shoot blue-screen shots with. And those shots were shot normally in color.
Oh, ok, thanks for clearing that up.
I think the shot in ROTJ where R2D2 has black panels instead of blue ones needs an update. At least looking at the comparison gallery it seems like the droid is totally monochrome in GOUT (with the exception of the red light) and in full color on the Blu-Ray. So now it is somewhere in between with just the panels being black again. If this is true a 35mm scan should be used for this shot.
Whelp, I guess it’s time to redirect my obsessive attention from the ROTJ thread to this one.
I have no problems directing my obsessive attention at several threads at once. It just takes the right amount of obsession.
And what would be the point of making 70mm prints in the first place, if they didn’t have better detail?
Marketing? There is no real good reason to release a film shot on 35mm on 70mm prints as far as I know. Same today with regularly shot films released in IMAX theatres. But the audiences think it’s better and pay more.
just an off topic subject, does someone know where i can get all the deleted scenes from all 6 movies in 720p or 1080p quality? if anyone knows where to find or have in your personal collection, please share it with a pm.
Aren’t they included in the official Blu-ray collection?
thanks for all the work you have done all these years. im still on spleen downloading.
so the current final version are:
SW 2.5
ESB 2.0
ROTJ 2.5it that right?
Yes.
and can anyone says what is a grindhouse version of a film? i never get that…
Team Negative1 scan original 35mm versions of Star Wars. If the scanned print is very used and the scan hasn’t been cleaned up yet, they call it a Grindhouse version.

Again. Thanks. That links to a google document which links to the place to download, and that only has the Workprint. I was just asking where or when I could download it.
Patience you must have, my young padawan. The new version is going to be released today.
TRACK 20) 2.0 Dolby Digital [English] (2011 BD Archival Interviews Audio Commentary - recut to fit this release)
TRACK 22) 2.0 Dolby Digital [Music] (Isolated Score)
Where’s Track 21?
Hidden Bonus Track featuring Harmy’s personal audio commentary with interesting details about the Despecialization I hope
Think broader than Despecialized 😉
E.T. The Extraterrestrial Special Edition in HD? Or is this too broad? 😉
I’ve always wondered whether there’s a massive difference between 720p and 1080p, especially for a film like SW. Looks great as it is!
It depends on your equipment.
And on the quality of the source material. The current release by tn1 doesn’t lose much when reencoded to 720p but the Technicolor scan they are working on seems to have much more detail.
Never mind, sorry, can’t delete this post.
It’s really a matter of taste. I like it better if Blu-rays have grain and show that the movie was shot on film and therefore I prefer the TN1 version. Also Harmy had to mimic the original special effects in some scenes while the silver screen edition really is 100 % the theatrical version.
Would there actually be an increase in quality, though? 70mm was just the blow up, not the movie’s native format.
I guess that damages to the film might be easier to erase when having a larger format to scale down to 1080p.
I am messing around with the Team Negative1 35mm Silver Screen edition trying to synch it to Harmy’s. Is Harmy’s GOUT synched? I read that it might be. Just wanted to be sure.
Yes it is. There is already a gout synched 720p reencode of this on the spleen that contains some of the DE audio and subtitle options.
The scan is meant to look like the actual print that the team had in their hands, not like another print of the movie .
My last info is that Harmy is trying to release the new version for Episode VI some time later this year but he can't promise he'll manage it. After that a new version of Episode V will be his next goal but nobody knows when this will be available.
Any details about audio tracks for the German release only Laserschwert himself can answer.
AFAIK, German versions of Episodes V and VI will be released after Harmy has finished the new versions of these.
Also, if you read the first post of this thread you will notice that the file has 21 audio tracks.

That is not what the BD looks like. But if there were scenes looking like that, I would simply add some grain.
While this would make the picture look more natural at first glance, it doesn't bring back the image detail that was lost in the DNR process. I know that there are some cases in the trilogy where you added digital grain but I don't really see a real benefit in this. It's just adding something artificial to the image instead of bringing back the original grain and the image details that were removed with it.
For me the best part of this news is that if Disney and Fox can manage to work together for a VOD release, there don't seem to be legal problems in the way for official release of the original version of the OT.
