Hal 9000

Harmy, I did not mean to say that the colors looked similar to the Blu-Ray, or to imply that version 2.0 was a partial reversal of color work done for 1.0. 

I just meant to express surprise that the "true" colors of the film do, in some ways, look closer to the Blu-Ray than the GOUT. (The Death Star isn't just grey; it's got some blues in it too, for example.) 

Of course your Despecialized project looks a hundred times better color-wise than the Blu-Ray. It's just... I've never seen Star Wars look quite this way. But that's a good thing. 

Finally got it, and am seeding as much as my computer is able, which sadly isn't very fast. My ratio is only 0.25. (I had an impossible time seeding my LOTR fan edits a few years ago.)

Anyway, the project looks great. The colors seem so different than I've ever seen Star Wars, and the old footage is blended nearly seamlessly with the new. It has to be the best presentation of Star Wars in many years. It's interesting that some color tendencies (such as the bluish Death Star interior) were more similar to the official release than version 1.0, per the technicolor prints. The lightsabers were my only real disappointment from the first version, and so this feels very satisfying. 

Tremendous work!

I have 8 Myspleen invites available, so ask me too.

I couldn't find a list from Google of differences between the 1993 mix and the theatrical versions. Does anyone know of a list of changes made in '93 to the soundtrack?

I'd prefer silence for non-scored parts of the film for the isolated score track. If I wanted other sounds, I'd switch to another track. I'd vote for music only.

Good luck! I'd think these projects would be all the resume you'd need.

The lightsabers look fantastic. That was the main thing version 1.0 lacked, so I'm glad to see some last-minute improvements. 

And that red/green shirt guy is great too.

If George directed the Olympic coverage:

lol, screw that crap

You only have to buy it if you want to download it. You can play it within the browser.

And I'd say the ad was about right; 3 to 5 laughs throughout the two hour running time. 

Remember that the podrace seen in the film is the first time Anakin has used his own pod. You'd have to find a way to excise the scenes of preparing for the race, and the exposition of Anakin's pod. 

Nobody's responded yet? I love the first line of that clip. 

Your parentheses excuse you. I didn't know if you had any open robot roles for Bender, perhaps. 

Last time I posted a potential source, somebody already beat me to it.

But, I wonder if this could yield anything for this edit:

I'd suggest having him get interrupted saying one of his own lines than a Ben lift. That'd be perfect. 

This looks like a real treat. I'll hopefully be able to watch it today. 

Maybe just show the arm sinking. Just as Obi-Wan slices his limbs, do an extreme crazy zoom over into the lava, and show the arm sinking. 

Every time I see that R5 unit in the foreground of the street scene, I expect it's motivator to blow just like in Episode IV. ;)

Hmmm. Maybe somebody could make that happen.

I'd join in if at all possible.

So, I just went through 005's comparisons for SW, looking for stuff I may have forgotten to change back and I only counted about 10 shots that I'm not changing that aren't wipes. And those are all stuff like garbage matte removal or recomposites that look practically identical to the original.

Keep in mind, any GOUT-synced audio will be able to be muxed along with Harmy's video.

How about this?

:P

Or you might be able to work that whole scene in. Cut away from the action of the droid factory sequence to Dooku sitting in some other room with a random alien singing.
