@WXM can you improve the shot like what was done with the empire strikes back scenes in revisited like what was done to the green screen scenes etc.
I wish someone could make it sound like people are calling him Dow koo it would improve him as a villain so he doesn’t sound lame name wise.
The Probert concept was for a grand officer lounge:
(as seen in the final film here when Spock’s shuttle approaches):
They had to scrap this as they were behind on budget and time.
Both DC changes (first adding the nacelles and then adding this backdrop) are at attempt to bring this to the film.
Both attempts unfortunately look very poor and they should have just avoided doing so (the added nacelles screw with the visual weight of the frame, and the attempt to blow out the wall looks amateurish). This video is a decent illustration of what they are conceptually going for, though:

It was possible to update the effects in empire strikes back with adywan doing hoth with revisited so how is this impossible for a fan or even a major studio to do?
Wouldn’t restoring midichlorians and the prophecy just be a matter of adding back in a few scenes? Should be super easy with a few minutes in any decent video editing program for anyone who wants to do so and probably not worth asking for a new cut just for those things. FWIW I agree the trilogy works better with those concepts in as the Jedi treating The Force as a scientific field and interpreting the prophecy in a way that’s convenient for them is good for underscoring their arrogance.
Depends on if you can color match what I did. If you just go to the color wheel and move stuff, you’d be wrong. Splicing in the uncorrected scenes would stand out.
Forgot about that. In that case, a version where it’s just SFX and color correction with no story changes sounds like a really good idea.
That’s be the Purist Cut
Is it possible to change dooku’s name pronunciation to dow koo that sounds better.
What does it look like on the dvd version of the director’s cut?
Scroll down this page to get the 3-way comparison, fifth one down…
What the heck were they going for but failed with the 4k version of that scene?
Looks like we are getting a 4k version of the SLV and bluray versions of the deleted scenes.
Any word on if those few bad shots are being fixed?
Nothing official yet. I’d be surprised if they did but then I’m surprised they are releasing it in 4k at all.
Edit: Apparently David C Fein confirmed on Twitter that they added digital effects to the airlock scene! That bodes well for a cleaned up version!
So this should be the best version of the movie then.
Hmm, I like a lot of the edits in the DE but I also like the character scenes from the SLV. You won’t find any consensus over which version is best.
I meant in regards to the effects that had no work done on them a look bad getting fixed. I can’t talk about the quality of the movie because I never seen any of og Star Trek same goes for most of Star Trek the next generation.
Actually Star Trek the Motion Picture remains a visually impressive movie even before you take it into account that it is 40 years old. They mostly just improved overall picture and sound.
There are still a few minor issues and many people find the movie itself to be a bit slow, but those that love it, really love it.
The only scene that needs significant polish in the new version is the officers’ lounge. Personally, I think the original was fine, but some people were confused about where it was on the ship. Picking one of the smaller lounges elsewhere on the ship and picking a star field appropriate for that location would be fine.
These shots are the only ones that I think are bad in the director’s cut not sure if there’s more.

Yes the problem I found was that due to aspect ratio and colour grade of the various existing versions it meant that it’s not possible to just fix the problem frames. You have to do the whole shot.
David c Fein described the rotoscoping as ‘quick and dirty’ so I am going to wait and see if it gets improved in the 4k release before putting in too much effort.
I hope the improvement is actually good and not a garbage rush job. I hope we see it sooner than sept.
Release date is 5th September 2022. I’m not expecting any changes but you never know.
You said this. David c Fein described the rotoscoping as ‘quick and dirty’ so I am going to wait and see if it gets improved in the 4k release before putting in too much effort. So are those shots what he was talking about or not?
Yes he was referencing the lounge scenes but they would only be improved if the Paramount release was ahead of schedule i.e. before the project was finalised. There was no additional budget for a do-over.
So it’s always going to look like garbage good job paramount.
Too soon to say. My own version will be the version of the scene I like the most. The rest of the release is fairly close to perfect with more than a few wow moments when I saw it for the first time. One slightly dodgy scene doesn’t detract completely from all the other great stuff in this release.
What’s the version of the scene you like look like?
I never really had a problem with the original but I admire the effort they put into the others. I think it will depend on whether I can merge the different versions or not.
What does it look like on the dvd version of the director’s cut?
Lucas pronunciation was better than the official one it’s a shame it wasn’t officially used it sounds cool unlike the official pronunciation.

A quick comparison of the Intro between the Original and the Color Corrected HDR. These aren’t final, still just playing around and seeing what works best.
Looks great. I just thought of one thing that sticks out with cgi yoda in the phantom menace. he’s unhappy in scenes he normally wasn’t as the bad puppet is it possible to fix those scenes?
Is there a reason Yoda should be happy?
I think the scene me and some other people are referring to is the final scenes of the movie the Victory celebration parade specifically.
Oh ok, Ill look into that and see what can be done.
I just found out dooku’s name seems like it was supposed to be pronounce as Doe-koo that would have been a cool sounding name what happened lucas was the one who pronounced as Doe-koo

A person on Blu-ray.com forum said this about the bad shot.
the person involved with the special effects for the restoration was on a podcast a couple of weeks ago and he explained that they did the best that they could do under the circumstances with that scene. He said they were unable to locate the live action footage of the actors against a blue screen. If they had that it would be much easier to lay in a different background that wouldn’t have the problems that the current version does. So basically he’s saying they did the best they could with the time and the money that they had and that it respects the wishes of the original concept and storyboards.
This is disappointing to hear it means it can never be fixed. 😦

No but it shouldn’t have gotten pass quality control how it was missed amazes me.
I don’t care what anyone says I don’t hate midiclorians and as corny as the chosen one part of the story is I don’t mind it.
I don’t hate them either, but I do feel like it works better with out them.
I know this might be asking too much but can you do a cut with them still in the film? you see I love the clone wars series and want your cut to line up with that plus I don’t hate them being part of the story I hate the rest of the issues with the films that’s it.

@adywan how is the compression since it’s not a full 50gb file?
When I watched the retouched edition of a new Hope it was great with the Color grading of the tie fighters and the devastator.
Something that needs improvement:
- De-aged Owen’s Lars face to the actor who acted that character in the live action show Kenobi.
- Cut the line he died about the same time as your father as we knew that he’s been in exile for years.
2 shouldn’t be changed it’s owen lying to Luke so why would it matter he lied about anakin too.
