There's no difference. I made it for Chris.

Wow. He didn't have the time to mention that when he was taking all the credit to himself then, when I said that it was being shared. He was a little pissed that it got leaked, weird!

While a version like this is really nice quality-wise, it's edit is dependent on personal choices and with every cgi-shot I think I am watching the special edition again.

The question is, what is your main goal you want to achieve: Is it important for you, that you never see a quality-jump? Then probably you will be better served with a theatrical reconstruction in DVD-resolution or the partly despecialized edition. For me on the other side it would be the main goal to watch a movie that is completely despecialized with as much HD footage as possible.

I wouldn't mind so much, when the GOUT shots, are revealed as being lower quality. Sure, they would need to be color corrected, to fit in. I am also not so sure about all the cleaning for the GOUT that has been going on, because if done too excessive, the picture can appear very lifeless and too clean.

Exactly, I'd like to see something like this as well. I wouldn't mind at all if there would be GOUT or even straight LD quality between shots but if there's even one CGI shot then I'm not interested. That's why I haven't watched Ady's or Harmy's work yet, hopefully some day there's a possibility to realize this idea. If people can watch the GOUT as is then I don't see a problem using it along with HD quality.

I'd recommend dark jedi's GOUT v3 from the preservations forum when it's finished. Better quality with all the soundtracks. Not sure if you're in a hurry or not but you should at least get them for yourself at some point. In the meantime, the offical DVDs with the GOUT will do.

The Vader Helmet is wrong though, it is clearly of the Revenge of the Sith Vader and not the oot.

Actually it isn't. I'm not sure when it has been photographed, it's either from ROTJ era or the SEs. But it's not from ROTS.

And I thought the only good thing about the 2004 DVDs was the packaging, I like it a lot, simple and classy. Those look more like some fan made boxes.

Unfortunately my 'client' wanted some time to be able to ship these around to the big collectors before the rest of us could get our hands on them.

Seems like there were a bunch of others from the same time period:

Meccano to Tri-Logo by Stephane Faucort
Irwin Toys: The Canadian Star Wars Connection by James McCallum
Kenner Star Wars Commercials DVD by Chris Georgoulias
The Vintage Glasslite Commercial Collection DVD by Shane Turgeon

The first two are books. I have Chris's DVD which was recently uploaded by someone here. Is there a difference between JD's?

Speaking of 90s covers, I've been making these for myself, sorry they're not in English but feedback is always great. :) Funny thing, TESB and ROTJ weren't released back then even though they were marketing them inside the SW cover, so their posters are based on what's seen there. They released the whole trilogy in 1995 like in other countries and these are based on the 1994 cover. They're 90% ready and I think I'll use these for the upcoming GOUT.

Episode I - Hey, it's Star Wars!

Episode II - Hey, less Jar Jar!

Episode III - Hey, it's Darth Vader!

Episode I - Who Cares About the Title

Episode I - The Sure Thing

Episode I - Sponsored by Hasbro

Episode I - Oh Yeah, Here's the Movie

Episode I - You Know You'll Watch It

Finished. Strokes look funny, they aren't like that actually.

LexX, your cover looks awesome.  Where can it be downloaded?

Thanks, here you go:

TMBTM said:

Star Wars III: Meet the fucker.

LOL

Episode I - Yippee!

Episode II - Raiders of the Lost Plot

Episode III - You Know What's Gonna Happen

Finished also:

Remember guys, that when you need a license and footage from the films, LFL will give you only the newest edits of the film. So it's not the makers' fault they have to deal with SE crap even if they do know it. Also there's a difference when the others are available in HD and originals in LD quality.

I think the tweaks look too yellow.  The originals seem more natural to me.  You can just leave Jedi alone as well, in my opinion. 

I like the V3 better as well.  I'd say leave it too.

:)

 

Agreed, also the Death Star looks a little too purple on the tweaked.

The tweaked version of Yoda looked a little yellow for me

+1, to me the close-up of Luke on Bespin looked a bit too colourful as well

Can't say I see much point in the ESB tweak tbh, the V3 looks perfect as it is :-)

 

+1. but a little more lightness doesn't hurt.

Moth3r said:

"2.0 Surround" would be a more accurate description than plain old "Stereo".

Is there a difference between them?

I haven't watched many remakes or reboots but the ones I like are Batman and Bond reboots. Both series were going into the toilet so a reboot was needed. Also the new Superman series could be fun since the last film wasn't.

EyeShotFirst said:

Found this, never seen it before, if I did I don't remember it. Could be a cool DVD cover if somebody had a biggun'.

 

It says no hotlinking, can you link it somewhere else?

To suggest something, I'm not sure if the order of the soundtracks has been finalized but I'd recommend ChainsawAsh's order for them. :)

Btw, do TESB and ROTJ need any color tweaking?

ChainsawAsh said:

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!

Those look way too green.

I liked the last color tweaks and I thought everyone else liked them, too. I'd prefer that to the "as is" version.

GOLD... That's funny, that's what it should be.

ChainsawAsh said:

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.

ChainsawAsh said:

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.

Well, that's pretty clear that senator Palpatine would become emperor Palpatine, but I think it's also clear that Palpatine is also Sidious. I remember before TPM came out it was a little difficult to tell who was who when there were Palpy and Amidala playing other roles which seemed a little weird.
