I think your tweaks look fantastic, DJ, and I'd venture a guess that it's the the best it can look without going scene-by-scene.  I wouldn't expect you to be willing to do that.

I do have to say that I'd be quite disappointed if you decide not to use your tweaks in the final V3, too.  I still think I'm going to do a scene-by-scene coloring for my own use sometime down the road, but if the screencaps are any indication, your tweaks will please the vast majority on here.

Agreed!

Double post, sorry, but I just saw this:

LexX said:

the whole Death Star sequence seems to have a bad green cast throughout (the scene I selected was almost the least greenest) and all of these shots, too, could use shifting towards magenta. So while there is some green in DS walls etc. I don't think they should be as green as some of you have tweaked them. If you've seen promotional images etc. DS was never green.

The Death Star sequences were originally color timed so the walls were a shade of greenish-blue instead of solid gray.  Those caps are fairly accurate, though I think they are a little too green.

Sorry, didn't know that. But yeah, they aren't 100% accurate either.

I like them better with the corrections than without.

Me too.

Here's some more 70 mm slides from the discussed scenes. Now, the whole Death Star sequence seems to have a bad green cast throughout (the scene I selected was almost the least greenest) and all of these shots, too, could use shifting towards magenta. So while there is some green in DS walls etc. I don't think they should be as green as some of you have tweaked them. If you've seen promotional images etc. DS was never green.

Yeah the one trooper when they're talking about the new BT-16, I like the one trooper's response, "Yeah some of the other guys were telling me about about it, they say it's...it's quite a thing to see."

 

Yeah that was a good. It made the stormtroopers more relate able than just canon fodder for rebels.

"You seen that new BT-16?"

"Yeah some of the other guys were telling me about it. They say its quite a thing to see."

"What was that?"

"Its nothing, outgassing, don't worry about it."

The original trilogy had some of the best background acting ever. Its what makes it the greatest movies ever made. Giving lines to Stormtroopers was a brilliant move.

fixed!

Replayed it over and over and high volume and I don't hear it as outgassing. Still sounds like top gassing. Then I play it at low volume and your right. Its outgassing. Something to do with the exhaust port I bet.

Thanks for the pickup.

Your ears can deceive you, don't trust them.  What do the scripts say?  And don't the DVD's have optional subtitles?

If I remember correctly, it was top gassing in the script?

That is one of the problems with the prequels, there wasn't any moments that sucked me in.

I thought there were many moments that sucked.

The prequels aren't even quotable. The OT is full of awesome quotes.

The only dialogue I can quote is Jar Jar and every time Anikan opens his hole and says something stupid. "I hate sand."

You may want to read that again. :P

TK-421, the only canon stormtrooper named in the OT.


Even though we don't see it in the film - I bet he shot first too. Han was just defending himself.

;-)
*applause*

Nice one, Anchor.

 

Wasn't there a stormtrooper blaster sound in one mix and then Han's blaster on another? So maybe he did shoot first. ;)

I like the one that wonders if it's another drill.

Funny you should mention it, that was once translated here as the machine which drills holes in subtitles. LOL

Here's another example of a production talking about the impact of the Original Star Wars but showing a Special Edition clip.

Twentieth Century Fox: The Blockbuster Years (TV 2000)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320996/

~41:55 they show the SE shot of Han running around the DS corridors and meeting up with the enhanced large crowd of Stormtroopers.

I think that's mainly because LFL won't give any original film footage from the OOT since 1997.
