The 1080p version of 4K83 is now posted in a.b.starwars newsgroup on Usenet.

When 4k? 😭 (I am trying to be jokey haha not an actual ungrateful memeber of the masses) 😅 it will come when it’s good and ready 😂

Poita, when you get back check your DMs, I want to donate to aid with TESB

Great interview on the experience https://venturebeat.com/2018/09/28/how-ilmxlab-and-oculus-will-bring-vader-immortal-to-life-in-virtual-reality/

I played Secrets of the Empire when it was in London with my best friend. Definitely pumped for more of these kinds of experiences.

Thanks for the lowdown Ash and Lewis! 😃

I’m curious, what can be gained from scanning AOTC in 4k? 😃 was it not filmed on 1080p digital tape? Can a decent upscale still be acheived?

The 3-part series, written by David S. Goyer, is coming to Oculus Quest in 2019

Darth Vader: we know him as the galaxy’s most infamous villain whose mere breathing can spread terror across an entire universe. A blend of advanced technology and moral decay, his power is unrivaled. Vader’s death is, of course, famous to fans all over the world – but there’s still much to be told about his life.

Today, we are excited to announce our latest immersive experience, Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, coming to Oculus Quest in 2019. ILMxLAB Executive in Charge Vicki Dobbs Beck, and David S. Goyer, writer and executive producer of Vader Immortal, revealed the first details onstage at Oculus Connect 5, including a teaser trailer and our collaboration with Oculus.

The series takes place on the lava planet Mustafar between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and features a unique combination of immersive cinematic storytelling and dramatic interactive play. You’ll go inside Vader’s fortress, first seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is set in the fiery wasteland the Sith Lord calls home.

“We always look for opportunities to explore the Star Wars universe in new ways,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “ILMxLAB is very excited to be working with David S. Goyer on a first-of-its-kind Star Wars experience which allows fans to travel to Darth Vader’s fiery, lava-ridden fortress and wield a lightsaber on his home turf.”

Set up by the events of our hyper-reality story Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire (an award-winning collaboration with The VOID), we are focused on connecting the broader narrative between home- and location-based VR experiences, a first for the virtual reality industry.

“As a lifelong Star Wars fan, working with ILMxLAB on an untold Vader story is a dream come true. The experience is designed to be ‘immersive first,’ meaning that from its inception, this 3-part series has been conceived and executed specifically for the VR medium,” said Goyer. “We’re breaking new ground with this project that places you, the user, at the center of the story.”

“Our mission at ILMxLAB is to have fans ‘Step Inside Our Stories,’ and Vader Immortal represents a significant step forward in that ongoing quest.” said Dobbs Beck. “Our friends at Oculus share ILMxLAB’s ambition to bring compelling immersive narratives to life and using Oculus’ hardware, we will invite fans to experience Darth Vader as never before.”

Being at the center of the story, an active character in the experience itself is only possible in virtual reality. Vader Immortal is no exception to our “immersive first” design principle and we are excited about Oculus Quest, tetherless and without the need of a PC, and the sense of truly free immersion it will bring to the home VR space for the first time.

“Whether it’s hearing Darth Vader’s breathing behind you and physically turning to face him in person or wielding a lightsaber with your own hands, Vader Immortal captures the ultimate wish fulfillment,” says Colum Slevin, head of experiences at Oculus. “Untethered VR immerses you in this universe and places you at the center of this amazing story.”

Creating a groundbreaking experience like Vader Immortal does not happen without the support of talented folks across our industry. In addition to screenwriter David S. Goyer and our friends at Oculus, we are proud to be working with Ninja Theory, an award-winning developer in the UK, and Epic Games, creators of Unreal Engine.

So I’m sorry if you don’t like this version - I’m not 100% happy with it myself - but I honestly believe that using both of these versions as a starting point, I’m giving you and everyone else just about everything you could possibly need to make your own dream version of Star Wars - with the noDNR version alone you now have access to a more or less untouched, relatively clean, complete version of Star Wars in 4K to play with! It wasn’t so long ago that the best version we had was the GOUT.

You’re a class act Williarob 😃 Thanks for giving so much of your time for Star Wars

Maybe he means the two Ewok movies? They had film releases in the UK right?

There’s a guy on reddit who did a 1080p waifu upscale of Avatar The Last Airbender and the 2003 The Clone Wars. It would be great if you guys could get him to upscale Droids and Ewoks. His TCW upscale is ❤️

Awesome, thanks for the tip, I’ll keep an eye out!

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this game so here goes…

I bought Lenovo’s Jedi Challenges for only 50€ even though I didn’t have a required phone to play it with (yet). I just tested it on my relative’s iPhone and it was much more fun than I thought of. Okay, the trooper battles are pretty lame but still okay, but the lightsaber duels are really fun. Didn’t have the time to test other game options. In addition to having fun battling myself, it was ridicilous to see others play the game too. Half of the fun became from that. But it would be great to have a real duel, too bad I don’t know anyone else who has this.

50 Euros? Where? The best I can find is £150 from Currys and PC World. Also if you are Irish (I’m Northern Ireland) I would totally battle you sometime!

Any chance you could post the image? I’d like to see it but I don’t want to download it unless I know what I’m getting first.

Hopefully that works, try the imgur link, I’m not used to this format style!

Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
My name is Michael. I’m an English Student from Northern Ireland, and despite my lack of skill in it, I like to make custom Blu-ray. I plan to post my Star Wars stuff here. Starting with a fan favourite, EditDroid’s Star Wars Holiday Special but as a Blu-ray release. Lemme know what you think!
May the Force be with You,
Michael
