Feels… inauthentic. Based on how Jonh has manipulated faces in the past I would think pulling real images of Shaw could work. But hey, I don’t know.
Those just… look like a recast for the role of old Anakin to me.
Yeah, even TFA:R! It wasn’t until V2 that that comes into play.
Oh I’d for sure not imagine it’d be doable. The only thing I’d think of for a source is when the heroes walk past a K2 droid in Rogue One on Scarif, clunking along robotically with no personality. Maybe the upcoming Cassian Andor series would have more footage to draw from.
But yeah, just an idea that doesn’t cost me anything to toss out.
I think part of what makes you ask the question has to do with things removed for this version anyway. And the battery analogy is about right.
Also, and this is a stretch, it even helps make (loose, SW-style) sense out of the star that SKB becomes, being much smaller than the original Sun; part of its energy was depleted.
Of course, just spitting ideas.
The shot for K2 is when Luke, Han, and Chewie are waiting for the elevator. You can see a bug-head 3PO droid walking by.
Certainly, he’s got a link to all my stuff, including my lossless audio output for that project.

For joeks
Also, Can I get some requests or ideas?
Well, I’d selfishly enjoy having a 19SE-sourced set of all relevant shots with R2’s blue-red light ‘fixed’ so others (me) could steal.
Vader’s lights would be the other thing in that category.
The other things that strike me, be they from Adywan’s work or in general are:
The lack of holograms in ANH. I like Adywan’s holographic display at the rebel base during the Death Star assault.
Fixing jump cuts during lightsaber ignitions. Something like Adywan’s recent clip, too, to adjust the color and bring a sense of greater consistency to Luke’s saber without erasing the character of the original effects. Sort of made it look about the same as the new Ben v Vader effects look relative to the original version of them.
Removing the added rats to Mos Eisley, and recreating that shot of traffic from the original but using the SE version of the backdrop.
Any non-ringed explosion for Alderaan would be great to field
Replace the black 3PO “Death Star droid” with a K2-SO model instead
Replace the shot of the rebel fighters heading toward the Death Star, perhaps with something closer to the original version; the SE shot looks bad and the R2 droid’s panels stick out as obviously incorrect.
R2 with blue panels in space, like ESB and ROTJ (SE)
Luke with purple hair just during the medal ceremony
I kinda like how the crawls often take poetic license a little, setting the stage with some hyperbole or fuzzy, dramatic narration.
Phantom Menace’s “two Jedi Knights.”
Clones implying Amidala supported creating a Republic army.
Sith’s “heroes on both sides.”
At least as interpreted from a larger perspective of lore than the film in a vacuum, the overly neat suggestion that Leia’s stolen plans will set the universe to rights.
Empire suggesting that Luke is the leader of the rebels, or at least those on Hoth.

Add sparks when Luke’s hand is sliced off to imply he already had a robotic hand.
Especially when I’m involved.
Make vaporwave, not vaporware.
Well good morning, I guess this is what my brain will be like today!

Kenobi hands Luke Qui-Gon’s lightsaber, recoloring it to green throughout ANH and ESB.

That’s a relief over here, thank you for expressing that, MR.
Take what time you need and don’t feel you have to check in unless you want to.
The quarantine second wind has died down, but there’s only so far we need to push the car to get there.
And I’m interested in anything that could work for a Kijimi insurrection, I just removed it because there’s nothing for me to do about it. But if something presents itself and it works, sure!
Cam, PM me if you’d like a link to my Drive. It’s got that LUT and a ton of clips I’ve used for my projects.
Yes.
Well, let’s give him his space, but thank you for telling me about that.
^ MR appeared not to take it well when I hushed him about raising a sensitive subject about a now-banned member and expressed something to the effect of walking away, either temporarily or permanently.
Sort of an unintended parting gift from that other member, in effect. It sucks, and I hope he returns, but I don’t want to stall things indefinitely and would like to see V2 get finished sooner rather than later.
I went ahead and updated the OP with more current info. Here’s my thoughts and questions about what remains that is needed for V2, with an eye on what is truly required to complete it. I’d like to have it out in time for the film’s second anniversary, though ultimately it will just be finished when it’s finished.
Mustafar minute, mentioned in the post above this one.
The Youngling voiceover. CaptainFaraday was working on incorporating it into the mix, which in this case is trickier than it sounds. Absolute worst case, it is included but almost too subtle to notice, since it’s too cool to pass up.
Jonh only comes around once in a blue moon, and there are two things needed from him: the updated and improved ghost quartet footage and fixing some of the glitches as he gave Luke a haircut on Ach-To.
Cracked saber FX. I super hope I’m wrong, but it looks like MoviesRemastered may have left for good. If so, this will increase work for Luka Frik. The first part of the movie still needs this effect: the training scene, underground on Pasaana, Rey vs. TIE, and meeting Zorri. This is very time-consuming work, so it may be some time before it’s completed. If Luka could chime in, I’d appreciate his perspective here.
Removing Rey’s milky eyes during a brief shot during her vision sequence. I think Neverar said he would likely tackle this at some point. Not essential, though, so it could safely be omitted.
That’s it! There are a couple other things, such as the sabers fizzling out, that I would need from others and that I would include if I ever do but I’m okay with excluding if not.
How are we on the Mustafar intro? Last I recall Neverar was addressing the potential suitability of the Biomes short, though there was some question about the speed of the pan and whether it would work in practice as well as we would hope.
Barring future input, here’s where it remains at present, which I’ve never been anything other than happy with: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/529875645
I won’t be going that route, to be clear, so pursuing it further would make more sense in the general thread.
Yeah, could be interesting but he still appears that way throughout the prequels.
