I’ve had a frustrating time encoding the video streams for Empire, but it should be coming down the pike pretty soon. Then V6 of TAS shouldn’t be far behind, though still needs me to resync subtitles and things like that.
Out of curiosity will this version on ESB have the cropped Falcon shot or the un cropped? I remember you inquiring about that a while back and noticed the cropped shot were used.
It would be more trouble than it’s worth in my estimation, and would force me to use 720p Harmy footage for large chunks of the movie.
Yes the fact he got money to finish a work he wasn’t 100% into lately is questionable.
I think it’s irrelevant how into it he was. The point is he is hyping up a big monetary gain from what he’s doing, and pretty transparently using pirated sources. These are things that endanger us all.
Were this not the case, it’d be hard for any of us to feel strongly about what he’s doing. But because he is, I think that’s why we are holding him to tight standards.
He’s the hockey pants counterpart to the Phantom Editor’s Batman.
I don’t think so because it’s completely political exposition without ‘angry Anakin,’ and ‘angry Anakin’ is opposed to the goal. I don’t hate the scene but it doesn’t do our love story any favors.
I appreciate the vetting, but it’s not something I’ve hemmed and hawed about like some other things.
The worst part of losing it is seeing Padme change clothes between two instances of seeing her walking, but it’s hopefully clear she is staying elsewhere and only visiting her family. (Or else Anakin apparently just ditched her bags at some point.)
PM sent.
That’s awesome! PM sent.
I’d bet anybody anything that the music that will transition into the end credits is the ‘Binary Sunset/Force Theme.’
Just putting out another call for anyone to help me try to find a replacement 3PO line for “I think I’m beginning to get the hang of this flying business.”
If you own the radio dramas for the OT, consider scrubbing trough some of it as I’ve done to no avail yet. I appreciate it; replacing it will cement the gently implied 3PO backstory into legitimacy.
And there’ll be an alternate audio track for ESB, for the four or five affected frames.
Exporting a new audio track to sit alongside the other. This track is the same, but includes:
Create fake ‘mono mixes’ for the other movies by changing arbitrary things and releasing in low quality.
Well, I don’t think this is half bad. I added the first syllable and a half of “A Jedi can feel the whisky flowing through him” from ANH.

Hmm… shifting the bass affects the rest of the sounds occurring at the same time, and won’t work for me. While I appreciate the logic and consistency of using the 2011 track for all of Vader’s dialogue, I think I’ll pass on that one.
Can anyone with access to the mono mix (including via Harmy’s DeEd), please send me the clip where Luke asks, “Blast it, Wedge, where are you?” I’m pretty maxed out on hard drive space right now and don’t want to download the 20GB file just to rip that small chunk from it. Much appreciated, if so.
Also, I just recreated the mono mix’s slight ‘sneak preview’ of the Cantina band music as the heroes approach the entrance. Gave it a low pass filter and matched the noticeability of the (clip on YouTube I pulled up of) the mono mix.
Someone around here suggested applying a bass boost has a similar effect, and that’ll probably be worth playing with rather than hopping around sources for much of the movie. I still don’t trust the 2004+ mixes.
Yeah, that’d be a good idea. 😃
I think that’s the only tweak of the sort that I would like to apply to ESB, but for ANH I think I’ll do an alternate track with the following:
I like the sound of that. 😃
Have you got any leads or tips for me about it, since you’ve delved there before? I was only able to get ANH’s line to work after seeing what you’d done.
Oh my goodness… I’ve gotta get this done and put behind me!
I think I got the line to sound a little bit better even. I threw in a tiny bit of the “I” leading into “I have something here for you.” But I crossfaded it with the end of “your father” which evidently sounds a fair bit like Ben is saying “I” in the first place.

Hoping that “A Jedi Master…” turns out okay, too. It at least won’t be as easy as clipping the beginning of the word “the.”
If I do make such changes, it would be in an alternate audio track.
That implication in ROTS is already present the way things are, and removing the slaughter would only leave the audience scratching their heads when Palpatine references it with no details.
I don’t see any merit to keeping the garage scene without the confession, and while I don’t mind disagreement, it’s a firm resolution for me.
Does anyone else seem to recall Adywan once doing a mockup (long ago) of changing the line to “A Jedi Master who instructed me”? I can’t seem to find it anywhere, and was hoping it would steer me down an already-established path to doing it.
I believe that could’ve been mine. Somehow I just cut out “Your father” and that alone somehow made it sound like “I wanted you to have this-“.

I like that a great deal! Did you have to adjust sync of the shot to do that? It doesn’t appear so. Could you perhaps send me audio?
Re: “your mother” - I tried to sort of tackle this in LOE.
