Hal 9000

Use this game footage as a pre-credits opener for The Book of Boba Fett.

I also thought the line was weird that his armor fulfilled its purpose and kept him from the acid.

Did it? Thought that was why his face is scarred.

If that could be pulled off with VFX, it’s be hilarious.

Revisiting the Sarlacc seems like a pretty natural scene to cut. We understand that Boba wants and/or gets his armor back from Mando just fine without that as setup (or retroactive setup).

The Slave I looked kinda silly smashed up against the opening to the Sarlacc, and that sonic charge nearly killed them.

Without seeing each, I’d imagine the ‘pleasing image’ is better. DVD-locked grain sounds unappetizing, and it wouldn’t be on a negative.

Made a few more tweaks, so I think this is gonna be the final version for Morrison in ROTJ.

Again, if anyone could help clean up scratches and dirt for a single shot, please let me know!

I like how they handled the Sarlacc! Sure it has a beak, but we see it from the outside and it looks the way it does in the OOT.

I don’t have any plans to mess with the TV series’s. Smudger9’s got the knack for that sort of thing.

“He’s no good to me dead. Like a bantha!”

Well, there’ll still be an audio track with the original voice, so nothing will be lost in doing this.

Here’s what I got, but I’m open to feedback:

Are there any progress on the nobody version?

Business was slow today so I worked on adding Morrison to ROTJ. I used the sound of Boba’s jet pack from Mandalorian s02e01 to help mask the original scream. I’ve replaced vocalization when Luke slices his blaster, he collapses, says “what the,” flies out of control, bashes against the barge, and gets swallowed. (The last two weren’t easily removed without damaging the soundscape because they took the other sound effects with them, so new sounds were added to augment them.)

It’s not polished fully, but it sounds all right. The performance is a little less screamy, but I tried to make it as close as possible. Fortunately the Bounty Hunter GameCube game provides a lot of options. I’ll post a clip whenever I can finish it up.

There’s also a very nice take of “as you wish” that I plan to add to ESB, to have in place for whenever I next revise it. (Won’t put out a whole release for just that.) I don’t plan to replace the other lines, since they would be paraphrased and wouldn’t blend well. The “as you wish” line is in a scene all its own and I think it’d do fine. It sounds like Morrison imitated the Wingreen delivery. For a hypothetical first time SE viewer this would be easier to swallow.

Would anyone be able and willing to do some dirt/scratch removal on a single shot? Ohteedee’s source for the DSII explosion is in need of such treatment.

it’s been pretty quiet around here now that V2 is now out.

So, what’s next for Hal?

Well, I would like for all of my project to eventually reach a point that they are complete and that I can feel that they are. For the prequels, that’s achieved. For the sequels, that’s close to being achieved (need to do another revision for TFA, and who knows about TROS). For the originals, I feel there’s still better source material that will emerge in time, but that the ‘structure’ of the edits is complete.

I also really like Adywan’s new take on the saber onboard the Falcon in ANH. However, it remains to be seen whether it’ll match up well since I believe it’s built on the 2011 BluRay. But I agree that that’s the best that scene has ever looked.

Personally, I don’t feel the need to try to go in and correct myriad filmmaking issues like the Leia sync. I suppose I could give it a try, though. This project has slipped somewhat from its original goal of hybridizing official versions, but I still tend to lean in that direction anyway.

If you only read one, read ROTS.

Perfect, thanks!

Might be fun to do an alternate audio track to feature Morrison as Fett right as he gets ‘killed.’

I’m sure the new show will provide plenty of grunts and sounds like that. But does anyone know where to find a “what the—“ and a scream from Temuera Morrison?

I think firespray is the name of the type of ship. Like “help me rescue my Chevy Impala, named Igloo.”

I imagine Luke as a teenager considered getting modded like the cool kids the way we might consider getting a piercing. But Beru would’ve killed him.

Sending!

Layer the SE over the OOT so the Sarlacc has a ghostly beak.

From the moment he is activated by BB-8, D-O just won’t shut up about 9/11 conspiracy theories.

Having gotten to sit down and look at it properly, wow! It’s dramatically better than the source material. The amount of noise removed is stellar, and entirely appropriate for this sort of movie. The animation is very clean and you can see the pencil lines as such rather than aliasing artifacts. I’d totally believe that this was an official HD release that used the same old master.

There’s still film specks and dirt and things like that, and I don’t know if an automated removal of such things would work well or not.

This is a wonderful release, and something I’ll be glad to have stored on my hard drive, as a big piece of my childhood. When I look over the movie with the question of its original aspect ratio in mind and aware that it had a widescreen form, I can’t help but wonder if it was done with an open matte. That’d be relieving to know.

Big thanks, Octorox.
