Honestly, my number one ask is to replace that matte painting shot when Han is departing with the strike team and talking to Lando with the falcon in the background. It is the most obvious matte shot in the entire saga in my opinion. I am still shocked Lucas didn’t tinker with it during the special edition. Especially in HD it always stands out to me like a sore thumb to me.

I think it’s already being worked on.

Are the hangar shots going to be replaced with physical dioramas like what was done with Empire Revisited?

So, part of the reason for changing the last scene of ROTJ is to make TFA not feel like as much of a “reset,” am I right? It’s mentioned on the Sequel Reset TV Tropes page.

How did you make a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack out of the 1983 70mm Magnetic Six Track Mix?

This is still the best version of that line I’ve seen. Pretty much blends in perfectly.

Actually, the audio clarity seems to change when he says “mother.”

I was watching the Emperor Arrives comparison again, and it seems that the new color grade unfortunately makes the difference between the real and painted Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers more obvious.

There’s a weird-looking lens flare shining on Palpatine when we first see him going down the ramp. Is that going to be removed?

I personally would like it if in addition to those two changes made for the “Canon Friendly” audio mix of TESB:R, that the John Williams version of the 20th Century Fox fanfare also be played at the start. Especially since all of the Prequels also use the Williams version.

What about the rest of you?

Fantastic work on all of it, Ady, thanks! With your focus back on Episode 6, does that mean your work on 4 is (nearly) done? Looking forward to the release!

I believe Ady said that ANH:R HD will be finished by summer.

It’s very subtle, but it seems that the reason you retimed when Commander Jerjerrod started walking away was because during the wipe, some of the frames were cut as the wipe started to cover him. Very nice catch!

In case you ever decide to make a new audio mix for A New Hope: Revisited HD, and if Adywan doesn’t make these changes:

I know these are examples of “Early Installment Weirdness,” but do you think you could make it so that Luke doesn’t call the R5 Astromech droid that blew up an “R2 Unit,” or use the term “robots” later on?

Thanks for sharing this. I have just tried it in the sound mix and unfortunately it doesn’t blend in with Vaders vocals in ROTJ. I’m not sure yet if i’m even going to bother altering the “obi-wan once thought…” line. After attempting to re-watch the prequels again recently, i can honestly say that i won’t ever be watching those things again, so altering things in order to fix things that those films created in the first place is not going to be my priority.

Dang… 😢

Someone pointed out in the YouTube comments of the ROTJ color grading comparison that at 1:13, there’s more contrast and dynamics in the Blu-Ray shot, while Han’s face looks almost yellow/orange in the regrade and loses some of the highlights.

Regardless, I know Octorox has already completed an alternative audio track for ESB Revisited in the past for prequel continuity (Boba voice and Yoda being only “a” master that trained Obi-Wan). This is something we can also pursue for this project.

I didn’t know about that. Is the audio lossless? That’s my biggest concern for the eventual Revisited Blu-Rays.

I dunno, you’ll have to ask Octorox.

I just saw his page, and it’s AC3, which means no, it’s not lossless.

I still haven’t gotten an answer to my question about the title fonts.

Here’s a video showing the Revisited crawls that Adywan made, which importantly was a year before The Last Jedi came out.

the prequels don’t play a role

But hasn’t he changed things to conform to the sequels? Seems dumb to then throw the prequels to the wayside. I haven’t followed every detail of Revisted, so if Adywan stated this, I must have missed it.

Adywan said he would provide two audio tracks for the TESB:R Blu-Ray so that you could choose between Boba being voiced by either Jason Wingreen or Temuera Morrison.

I believe somebody said he could bring on Ryan Golden. Honestly, I’d prefer he does it. But if it’s any other impressionist than him, then AI is definitely the way to go.

I’d like Adywan’s personal opinion, though.

Adywan has said countless times that he already has a darth vader voice voice actor. there is no question about it.

Fine.

Adywan, what do you think of Jar Jar Bricks’s AI line of Vader saying “Your mother once thought as you do”?

I’m surprised that I haven’t seen anyone do an AI HD upscale of the 1974 Planet of the Apes TV series yet. I don’t have the software for it, so I was wondering if anyone here could try?

May I please have a link?

One reason I ask about what the audio quality on the Blu-Ray will be like is because I noticed when watching it again that the clarity of the Star Wars theme didn’t match the higher clarity of the 20th Century Fox fanfare right before. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Blu-Ray source, the audio compression, or if that’s just how it has always sounded.

Pixeljoker is using the voice actor Ryan Golden to voice the Vader lines.

Will most of them be replacing the original lines, or are they just for the new footage?

PixelJoker, are you still going to go for that take in the first trailer of Vader saying “That name means nothing… Master”? Because I can tell that the part where he says “that name” is ripped straight from Return of the Jedi. Why not create a new take?
