I can see why the Tech inclusion is odd, since it’s quite saturated compared to ESB and ROTJ which are a bit desaturated even compared to the clips used in the original RLM video.

It might help to reduce the saturation of Han’s conversation with Ben in the Cantina 20-25%, since that got a lot less saturated when transferred to home video.

Here’s the final version of the Leia and Kor Sella scene for TFA: Restructured:

It was lengthened with additional dialogue and repeating part of a shot to make it function like a full scene.

I might just re-cut all the non-special edition parts from harmy’s editions to just give it a consistent feeling for the Original Trilogy clips. There aren’t that many clips from the OT so it shouldn’t take that long.

Since Harmy’s using my project for V3 of Despecialized, doing the Tech version for ANH and Despecialized for the sequels would be a bit of future-proofing.

I really like that crawl, Neverar. I almost wish I didn’t like it as much as I do so I could offer some constructive criticism.

Thanks, I’m also pretty pleased with it.

Now if I could only fit some hint of the Starkiller Base in there without making it too wordy…

What a strange glitch.

It’s not out yet.

That’s why I was unsure of it. I thought Hal was implying that R4 followed him somehow, despite being just a dome. 😃

Hal’s edit cuts that scene, and it’s not missed.

Just noticed something else that was strange. The Chapter titles like ‘Padme Addresses the Senate’ and ‘Padme’s Family’ actually looks like ‘Padm✓© Addresses the Senate’ and ‘Padm✓©’s Family’ in VLC, with the checkmark and copyright symbols.

ChainsawAsh said:

The solution to all of this is simply to watch Restructured instead! 😄

To ChainsawAsh you listen.

Since the correction looks a bit green to me, I’d be interested in the first one for sure.

Just watched this new version, and it’s most impressive. With the 720p version, some of the deleted scenes look almost as sharp as the rest.

I almost don’t want to bring attention to any potential issues, but there was one thing that sounded out of place - at the end of Dooku’s discussion with the Separatists, the eavesdropping Obi-wan turns his head and there is the sound of an astromech. Is this sound supposed to be there?

I’ve been playing with a lot more ideas for the crawl recently. In one, Luke is suspected by the Republic of secretly being the leader of the First Order, in an attempt to give some actual mystery to the Supreme Leader (at least for a while). But it was a bridge too far.

Here’s one that is more in the spirit of the original TFA crawl, going so far as removing all reference to Starkiller Base:

EPISODE VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS

The galaxy is in turmoil.
Luke Skywalker, last of
the Jedi Knights, has
vanished.

During his long absence,
an evil FIRST ORDER
has risen from the ashes of
the Empire to put an end to
the Jedi religion. Without
its mystic knights, the
New Republic accepts these
incursions as the cost
of preventing war.

Only one general,
unable to accept this open
aggression, forms a covert
RESISTANCE and sends
her finest pilot in search
of the last guardian of
peace and justice in the
galaxy…

I’m glad they didn’t go this route, primarily because the old characters would overshadow the new.

Why did Obi-Wan lie about not knowing R2? I know that it’s because the prequels were written after the OT and it was a mistake, but what’s the canon justification? I’m just curious.

He actually never says he doesn’t know R2.

He also never gives any indication of knowing him, or C-3PO. I would be bothered by that if I took the prequels seriously.

I mean I don’t deny that, it’s just weird to frame the question as why does “Obi-wan lie about not knowing R2?” when it really should be “why doesn’t Obi-wan seemingly make any recognition of R2?”

Quite right.

What do we know about the little frog guy who eats the other creature outside Jabba’s palace right after Leia and Chewie show up? Is he a muppet? Stop motion? Traditional animation? Before I got into these preservations, when I hadn’t seen the OOT in like 15 years, I assumed he was an SE addition because the quality of his movement is so different from all the other puppets, but now having seen the GOUT and the ROTJ grindhouse and knowing that he’s from '83, I have no idea how they actually did it.

According to Wookeepedia he was actually Luke Skywalker’s informant, and his name was Lard-zen Makuisi-kahn. He distracted the palace guards while Lando snuck in, and he even helped him steal a uniform.

I don’t believe you. Link the Wookiepedia page and I still won’t. So there.

Maybe just add a shot like this with a slow zoom/ken burns effect? It may work…

We just need a lighsaber replica, some grey robes and shoes, and a patch of grass. A quick shot of the saber hitting the grass and Luke starting to walk over it would be perfect.

Short of redubbing the Stormtrooper (Southern accents in the Empire are so weird), that’s probably the best option with this scene.

His eyes look really small in a lot of photos.

An idea I had was to completely change Canto Bight by using Beyoga’s footage from Pacific Rim: Uprising. There may be a way to make it all fit with the right editing.

It’s a movie about giant robots and monsters.
He looks completely different.
He has a British accent.
Good Luck.
