I think DJ's shots look great.

Fritz, I know that earlier you said that it seemed like the ESB bootleg was a transfer from a 35mm print. How do you know of this and are you sure that it's not a 70mm one? Did you check if it has any of the differences listed in this thread?

He did.

In my opinion Yoda and the emperor do know about each other and that's also mentioned in the novelization of ROTJ.

Also I never liked Yoda when I was a kid but after they made him even worse for the prequels which I'm now trying to forget forever, I've grown to like him more.

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

From first viewing:

Clip 1 definitely seems out of sync. I reckon it's the delayed one.

Clips 2 and 3 both seem in sync on first viewing, although I have a feeling that Clip 3 is the more natural. So I would guess that Clip 2 is the one where the audio is ahead.

Agreed.

When Vader says "If you will not turn to the dark side, perhaps she will" hitting Luke's soft spot.

My vote would be for a more theatrically accurate crisp coloured, V3 please. :)

+1

Sounds great. So will these "original" mixes be in the GOUT v.3?

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.

I gave my latest encode of g-force's latest script a little color boost, I think his earlier ones had it, I don't know why he decided to remove it, as I think it improves the image.

the values on g-force latest script is:

########## black level/gamma, hue
Levels(10,1.08,255,0,255).Tweak(hue=-3)

and this is what I used:

########## black level/gamma, hue
Levels(10,1.08,255,0,255).Tweak(hue=-4,sat=1.3)

a quite subtle approach as I think the GOUT video cannot handle too much saturation before it starts to bleed, try it out, d_j and see if you like it. I will take a look at yours and see how it compares.

Unfortunately, there isn't that much you can do with the internal tweak function, positive values adjust the hue towards red and negative towards green, that's it.

That actually doesn't look to bad either, damn now I am wondering after seeing all this if I should re do the video 1 more time just to bring out some color, maybe if we come up with something that will work I will post in my thread and see what everyone wants, because after all this tweaking, the V3 video the way it is now, is pretty dull.

But that being said, I don't want to tweak just to tweak, like zombie said, we should try to get it as close to theatrical, and not adjust just because "we" think it is right, does that make sense?

Funny to get more excited about this than the official BDs but that just happened.

Have you ever thought about what happens to LFL after Lucas passes away? I mean, they haven't made pretty much any movies since the 80s if you don't count IJ4, and it just stands mainly because of SW movies. Would there be any new possible CEO after Lucas? Could it be possible that LFL will eventually go bankrupt (I mean after a few decades) and maybe Fox can buy the rights of SW back?

After Lucas passes away?!  They aren't doing anything worth while now!  What's the difference!?

The difference is that then at least Lucas isn't in the way to get the originals.

I lowered the saturation from your shots:

A little better and they still have the colors. Just an example.

see you auntie said:

With all due respect since when was *insert random clone wars novel title here* GL canon. That stuff still sells.

Never, but I was talking about TCW cartoon for example, which is like the only product of Lucas Animation (?).

Moth3r said:

What's a BR?

It's Blade Runner!

But umm, yeah, it's BD.

Well, even the most HC fans and Lucas lovers may be put off by any new stuff because it's not GL canon or something...

No offence zombie, I love your work, but most of these look actually worse than the 2004 DVDs. Waaay too oversaturated.

I like that they would actually love to preserve ALL of the versions of a movie.

I hope they've cleared some room for SW films, then...

And wait a minute... if they're preserving the first version, wouldn't that be the 70mm?

Cover is, of course, in Swedish. ;) Thanks to msycamore for helping in that.

Cut along the black lines.

Puggo, what's the runtime of the film so I can put it on the cover?

On the DVD, Star Wars is divided into three tracks, one for each reel.  Each reel has a few seconds at the front and back.  When I add these up, should I include the extra few seconds on the ends of each track?

I guess not, so only the movie. Thanks. :)
