I don't really care for any part of the prequels to be integrated into the original trilogy.....maybe thats why I'm being negative.
This just sounds like the sort of modification the modern Lucas would introduce
J
Yeah it sounds like a good idea, but when our heroes discover the Death Star at the remains of Alderaan, Han especially can't believe what he's seeing, if it had been stationed at the Empire home planet, the nerve centre of the galaxy every star system would know. The ultimate weapon may end up guarding Coruscant, but I think at this early stage it would still be hidden,....dunno
J
Newspaper in UK stated that Electrical store Currys (who ran the TV ad with R2 & 3PO) are due to show more Star Wars licensed ads for the build up to Christmas.
The ad is gonna show Vader arriving to a Currys store (as in ROTJ) with staff lined up ready for inspection.....maybe instead of 'the Emperors coming here' it'll be Saint Nick!
J
Nice editing Aalenfae, while watching the clip I thought why not cut the sabre fight all together, let Obi-Wan wait till the robot thing with the swords starts showing off then he force pushes it away.....kinda like Indiana Jones in Raiders.
J
......WOW.....simply.....WOW!
Nice one Harmy
J
Should be updated to the well known saying.....'Hey, it's Star Wars on Blu-ray!'
J
Yes, the areas you have highlighted do look as they have slightly more detail.....dunno, each to their own.
J
I am sorry Harmy, but I do not agree with your opinion that the 35mm image you are using is sharper than the GOUT, There is loss of detail across the entire ship which is glaringly obvious, also all tone is lost as the contrast has crushed all the blacks, look at the interior of the cockpit.
The DS window frame at top & bottom of the image was not what I was trying to Showcase, it was the MF and it's general look in the shot in contrast with the surrounding characters etc.
J
Sorry to flog a dead horse, but I just darkened the Gout a bit.....youtube clip....no audio
J
No prob Harmy
J
Which parts are annoying you Harmy, I have the original image on the top layer of a PSD file as a mask.....which ever part you don't want to see through I can restore
J
How about using.....dare I say it....the SE to pick out the details
J
Sorry, forgot to mention....this is only half done...the far side mandible etc are untouched......will finish tonight & upload higher res image
Sorry,if i'm going off in the wrong direction Harmy, but the photo on the cover of the MPC/AMT/Airfix model at the time is of the 5 foot filming model....I have high res scan of this image.....it could be used to enhance details to the "you're braver than I thought" scene.
J
Its rough....and its not the original, but as a concept??...maybe not
Used image of Fine molds model to pick out the details
J
Anyway you could photoshop enhance the MF in DS....like the Throne room matte?
J
Did you get the matte of the Falcon docked in Death Star?
J
By jove I think he's done it!
Looks perfect to me
J
I think the original matte as seen in V1 is best, V2 just looks like a 4x3 shot
J
Did they add grain to the bd's especially to the SE bits?
J
Well I suppose the weave should match the weave on the background image so they don't move independently.
J
The subs do look great as they are, watching that clip really did bring back that nostalgic feeling....without that gate weave recreation on the subs they would definitely look less authentic.
I was perfectly happy with V1 of Despecialized.....but now I'm really looking forward to V2
J
I could definitely do you the clip with my settings..........but.......I do think what You_Too is doing would be better.
Grand job on the new clips by the way
J
Here's another clip top one is adjusted, bottom one is the Despecialized

You_Too, is there a chance to show what you can do with your settings for this clip, I really do think this should also be one of the tweaks to Harmy's V2....another step closer to the original films.
J
No offence taken, I was basically trying to show that there is hidden details in those blacks, and in that particular scene (which is perhaps the worst scene in the movie regarding the crushed blacks)
I'm still mucking about with it, bare with me.
J
Sorry slightly higher quality clip:
