Is he back? Where’s that picture from?
Intriguing title, to say the least. Which singular Skywalker is being referred to?
a 55(!) hour marathon preceding Avengers Endgame
Crimoney, what’s the cost for such a privilege?
Just for the doc.
I suppose having the galactic state of affairs be somewhat of a parallel to things in the OT does offer something fittingly parallel for Luke to forsake, especially related to a new call to adventure with his father’s lightsaber.
I can see how TLJ, being written by someone receiving TFA as a complete entity in need of a follow-up, would want to set it up like that. It gives Luke something to rise to and comment on the phenomena of galactic civil war itself, transcending the concrete manifestations of it, just as Luke does so with himself, becoming a legend and departing this mortal coil.
I’ve always been happy with stereo. For both your ears.
The more important question is what font the title appears as in the crawl.
Well, this is the man who presented the world with a film titled ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’
Mark Hamill says it’s not official.
Of course it isn’t; it was leaked.
Rikter! This would be an incredible project. Keep us posted.
Once the LUTs are published, I will be happy to put them all together and publish DrDre’s ESB regrade in encoded form. My hope is that removing any form of resistance on Dre’s end can expedite a finished produce for everyone. Just generate the LUTs, hopefully avoiding agonizing over them, and I’ll take care of the tedium of encoding, muxing, and publishing. And I’ll have a wonderful new source for my own ESB project. 😃
Certainly; I just mean to point the unintended humor of the line out of context.
Wow, that’s some great work, NeverAr! It’d be sad to lose Han’s hilarious line “If I get any higher they’ll see us!”
Really looking forward to seeing the final product. 😃
Isn’t there an establishing shot at some point that suggests the emperor’s throne room is at the top of a tower somewhere along the surface of the Death Star?
Thank you for posting the specific timeframe we’ve secured. It’s really good to know!
Here’s the final dewback scene, for anyone still uncertain about it. If you do a direct comparison with the OOT version, it merely looks like the SE has chosen to minimally enhance the background dewback. The original shot was very static.
I don’t have a copy of KK650’s ESB handy to check, but can anyone confirm that his version does indeed have the uncropped Falcon interior?
I wouldn’t bet my lunch on it.
I almost want to do a quick edit that sarcastically addressed each and every thing on that list.
What exactly merited the PG-13 rating to begin with? Han being skewered? To remove that would be to leave a gaping hole (pun unintended) in the story.
Is there anything else in the movie you’re concerned about?
I’ll do that, Ridley, as soon as I have the chance, and send the images to you. I appreciate you!
It looks like DrDre’s color matching tool can output a LUT based on the reference and target images.
Even if it proves impossible for me, and I’m planning to give it a try when I am able, it should be possible for the user to create LUTs to be applied on a scene-by-scene basis. Or perhaps even more general, like a ‘Hoth LUT,’ ‘Dagobah LUT,’ etc.
I wouldn’t know until trying, but I wonder if one could create, say, 10 LUTs from random points in the film, and apply them uniformly to the final product, each at 10% effect.
I’m not sure, since I haven’t either. If anyone with a Windows machine can advise, I’d welcome input. I bet it’d take my Mac running a virtual machine 10 years to render something like that.
I’m re-downloading KK650’s ESB to take a closer look at it; it’s actually about 22GB, a good 9GB greater than my original primary source, so it may do the trick well enough.
The thing is that the source I used has 100% perfect colors, as far as I’m concerned, but not great picture.
Using KK650 would be a step down in colors (just because his target is different, not because they’re poor), and a fair improvement in picture. I believe it’s abailable at something like 19GB, compared to Adywan’s 1997 SE project’s 13GB.
What would be a big upgrade in picture that would make it more acceptable to sacrifice the color grade would be something sourced from the BR and clocking in at something like 25-30GB.
That’s pretty good! I like how you repurpose the few shots at the beginning that the ‘Restructuring’ had to exclude.
For lack of a proper ESB regrade of the BluRay like the one used for ANH and hopefully for ROTJ, I wonder if a LUT could do the trick.
Ideally, I’d like something in the vicinity of the 1997 colors for ESB. I know a simple LUT would only go so far, but I wonder if it’d be good enough. The existing release of this project for ESB is fine, but the picture quality leaves something to be desired, since it was based on outdated (though still really cool) work from Adywan based from the HDTV master set at about 13GB in size. I would still very much like to remaster my ESB release.
I know I’m only setting myself up for disappointment, but I’d love to have my presentation of all eight saga films by the end of the year. I can’t keep doing this forever and am eager to wrap things up, though without making sacrifices in the end result. I think it’s gonna be a bugger getting an eventual IX edit completed since I’ll have two little ones running around by then.
Anyone good at making LUTs?
