Where’s The Rise of Skywalker?
Why did all of Jon H.'s YouTube links die? Did Disney/Lucasfilm claim copyright on them?
Almost finished with The Half Blood Prince, really enjoying your enhancements! You have an ear for finding the right music for the right scene. Thanks a lot and keep it up! 😃
Thanks. I’m currently halfway through Deathly Hallows, as Ron just came back to the camp.
Fun little fact/flub about Episode III.
In the shot where Anakin leaves Artoo by his starfighter on Mustafar to take care of the Separatists leaders, if you look closely when he puts his hood on, he’s not wearing his black glove on his right hand.
I’m not an expert or professional when it comes to producing deepfakes. However, I have been trying to deepfake Samuel L. Jackson onto the background fill-in in one of the last scenes of The Phantom Menace, where someone else was playing Mace Windu. Unfortunately, DeepFaceLab only recognized the background fill-in’s face for the second shot, not the first. I don’t know anything about making VFX, but I think it would be much better if someone just digitally mapped Jackson’s face onto the guy, as it would be far easier.
And yes, I am aware, there still needs to be more training than what is shown here, but I am just showing to let everyone know the final result may not look good.
So here’s an update on the stand in for Mace Windu. DeepFaceLab recognized his face in the second shot where Palpatine is talking to Queen Amidala, but it did not in the shot where he walks out of the ship. It can’t exactly read the eyes properly either. It might be better if someone more talented than me with VFX just digitally maps an image of Jackson’s face onto the background extra like what was done for Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens: Restructured.
Oh, well, it never struck me as a problem. But deepfaking and SW have a lot of potential together.
True. Ever since Lucasfilm hired Shamook, it seems like a bright future. Still don’t know why they didn’t put him to use recently, but that’s a conversation for a different thread.
Okay, Hal. Just to let you know, I won’t be able to fix that Darth Maul shot I mentioned with deepfakes, because DeepFaceLab didn’t recognize the face in the shot.
Would Dooku’s double be on your list too?
I’ll give it another look, but I don’t really think there are that many close-up shots of Dooku during the fights where it’s not Christopher Lee.
I’d certainly be interested in seeing the end results! Appreciate thinking of me, so I’d say let me know please.
Thanks, Hal. It might take a while before I can get them sent to you, though.
Hey, Hal. I’m about to attempt to deepfake some minor things in the Prequels. These include the poor CG double of Darth Maul when falling into the pit, the background fill in for Samuel L. Jackson at the end of Episode I, and the poor CG faces of Palpatine on the stuntman’s body in Episode III. Let me know if you’d like to see these and add them into your edits.
So I’ve attempted at making my own deepfake of the closeup shots where Bryan Singer, questionably, uses a CG double of Brandon Routh as Superman. If anyone would like to use these shots for their own edit, here they are. Mind that the final result is not the greatest.

Darth Porg fixed Anakin’s appearance and made the shots available to download in 4K. Link is in the description.

Yeah, that missing forehead spot really took me out of it… 😃
It’s way more than just that. He looks much younger, his hair color is different, even his beard his a little different. I will say that if anyone plans on using deepfakes on this flashback to make Ewan and Hayden look closer to how they appeared in Episode II, I strongly recommend to not limit themselves to using footage from just the movie. Also use footage from the deleted scenes, behind the scenes material, outtakes, interviews, trailers, etc.
Here’s just a comparison to show just how radically different Ewan McGregor looks in Attack of the Clones compared to the flashback scene.
People also need to deepfake Obi-Wan in the flashback too, as Ewan McGregor looked significantly different in Attack of the Clones.
How are things coming along, Noah? 😃
Not bad. Currently working on Godric’s Hollow. Progress has been a bit slow, so I don’t know if it will make a Summer release. We’ll see.
Oh wow. I had ADHD so reading is difficult. Even Harry Potter. I would love this, to make me feel IN the moment since I am an audio learner. Thank you

Has anyone here thought of fixing the poor CGI Darth Maul when falling into the pit of the shots where Ian McDiarmid’s face was put on a stuntman during his fight with Mace Windu?
By the way, if anyone here is planning on using the movies for the data for a face replacement, I think using deleted scenes, behind the scenes material and interviews should also be used for data to give more to work with.
Just finished Phil Dragash’s reading of the Lord of the Rings, and was looking for other amazing audiobooks with music 😃 would love to listen to yours!

I would absolutely love to listen to these! They sound amazing!

Sebastian Shaw cut, yes or no?
Yes, though it may be some time before this becomes a reality.
Here is my personal Tier list for every movie and TV show within the franchise.
What’s the running time of your version?
Roughly 3½ hours.
Funny thing that I am doing something similar as my next project 😛
One movie, chronological (except flashbacks from more distant past), re-scored, grindhoused, I’d expect running time somewhere between 2-2,5 hours.
But the order of the scenes will be different.
Very interesting alternative.
