I noticed ROTJ v3.0 is in 1080p. How come SW and ESB is in 720p?
Nevertheless, great work with these. 😃
Check the release dates. Despecialized started when the best sources maxed out at 720p, namely GOUT upscales and HDTV captures. Once the 1080p Blu-rays came out, there was only marginally more detail in those sources, and all the previous despecialization work was in 720p and would either need to be redone or remain lower-resolution. Now that we have the UHDs and the 4Kxx projects to use as sources, the extra work of re-doing the despecialization in 4K is worth it, so any projects from this point forward are likely to be available in 4K and 1080p resolutions. But ROTJ 3.0 was the first out of the gate.
Also, ROTJ 3.0 has at least one serious error. It’s missing a subtitle for one of Jabba’s lines. I’m sure there may be other minor issues, but that’s a big one anyone would notice. So a lot of us are still on the sidelines waiting for ROTJ 3.1.
I see. Thanks alot for the info. The 720p’s are really nice, but it’s good to hear that we will get 1080p and 4K for all three down the line. The ultimate retro viewing experience of the original trilogy. 😃
