I don’t know, but I look forward to any and everything you produce.

I’m very happy with the current state of the prequel edits and don’t plan to update them further. Never say never, but nothing stands out to compel me.

The only thing I have actual plans/intentions for is another go at the OT after next year’s OOT release and anything else.

I remember seeing a version of the original explosion of Alderaan of which the middle portion was removed from the final version of the movie, because it had writing on it. I wonder if AI could be used to Render out what the full original explosion would’ve looked like in the movie.

I like it. I’d be reluctant to use AI generated video but perhaps audio could still help here.

“Hidden, safe, the children must be kept. The mother agrees: split up, they should be.”

“We must place them where the Sith would not sense their presence.”

“My wife and I will take the girl. Her mother may stay with her for however long she’s able. She will be loved with us.”

“And what of the boy?”

There was one shot I really wished was possible when I was first working on Labyrinth Of Evil.

There needed to be a shot when we cut to the Taintive IV (or whatever ship it is) after the Vader “Noooooo” moment showing Padme. She’d need to be conscious and not asleep, in an environment consistent with the interior of that ship. Ideally holding a baby, either crying, distraught, or numb.

Arguably this would take away some of the punch of finally seeing her once they land on Alderaan. Another solution that was explored was to hear her distant wailing from another room but that didn’t feel right, at least with audio available.

I had done that for my custom SE edits but not this project. Wouldn’t be a bad idea but at this point I’d rather wait and see what next year brings.

I’m assuming that he used ohteedee’s source as-is, whereas I monkeyed around with some LUTs to alter it.

As far as comparing his version to mine I don’t know what all his changes are so I imagine the best answer you could get is to compare the change logs and see what was done for each project.

I fully appreciate why I shouldn’t have been, but I was skeptical of modulating and slowing Vader’s voice. But this is genuinely impressive.

Using video and audio AI, swap the lines for Kenobi and Yoda during ESB for continuity to the ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ series.

Yoda: “That boy is our last hope.”
Kenobi: “No, there is another.”

Thanks for saying so, and I’m glad to hear it. Also, I’m fairly confident that that scene actually contained no changes.

I’d be very happy to add entirely too many audio tracks to a deluxe custom SE project.

Tobar, it’s a good idea. I certainly don’t wish to revise things just for that but I’ll keep it in mind in case I am compelled to anyway. Glad you liked it overall, and if that’s the only thing that felt imperfect, we done good.

Octorox, the current version has addressed this. Are you sure you’re looking at the most recent version?

ANH has been quietly given a very minor update.

I swapped two R2 vocalizations when we meet Ben Kenobi so that a “sad beep” follows the line “I don’t seem to remember every owning a droid.”

Vader’s TIE jumps to hyperspace after the battle (thanks to TMWNN). (Harmless, and ties into my Ascendant project.)

And… this’ll of course be the final update before the juicy new source material hopefully coming next year!

That wouldn’t be the case in space though. No atmosphere.

Unless Star Wars has an atmosphere in space, but you get my point.

^ To be clear, JJB, I just saw a chance to make an ESB reference to Han and Leia’s hallway fight. 😉

This was removed because we need to remove the Force speed/teleport.

We need? Well, what about you need?

Just kidding. But seriously, I feel both these perspectives about the introduction to the destroyer droids.

And octorox is right about the scene between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. I feel the weight is more put onto Obi-Wan without their having kindly made up. I think this also supports the angle that he “took it upon himself” to train Anakin. I just don’t think that pickup scene adds anything critical, even if I don’t dislike it.

Ah, well good to hear it worked out and that nothing was wrong that I would need to fix! 😉

Just generated a checksum for the file, just the .mkv file itself.

It’s: 7c18fc3f1438897239133849ab4b9fcd70e3127d5d9bf6922b26f03c623b429a

Cannot confirm on my end, all appears fine. Which do you have, the large 1080p, small 1080p, or tinyencode?

There is some good footage here of the Death Star’s destruction-

No, there isn’t.

Bottom of OP.

The day is finally here! The ‘Rey Nobody’ alternate version is now fully up to snuff with all the benefits up to V5 included. (It is the same ‘alternate pieces’ as in the older Rey Nobody version, just with the rest of the project’s upgrades being implemented around them.)

Now available, usual place.

I noticed a little oopsie in the AI-free track while adapting it to fit the Rey Nobody version, so I am uploading a fixed mkv version now and the other two will follow shortly.

Also, I removed the old Rey Nobody version and am uploading a workprint version. It’s small, but fully complete, just without all the bells and whistles like subtitles and all that. But if anyone’s itching to see that version, it’s perfectly watchable for the time being until I get the rest done.

I quite agree. But as I seem to like to do, alternate audio tracks are an easy way to make more people happy with some things.

At any rate, the version with fixed colors and the AI-free track is now up and available.

What are the lines?
