Hal9000’s Prequel Fanedit Care Package might be a useful resource for this project, as it includes all the Prequel DVD deleted scenes in 1080p upscaled quality.
If the point is to extend the movies as much as possible though, the DVD and blu-ray versions are the longest incarnations of the movies with additions like the Jabba scene and new FX sequences. I would think we’re not too concerned about artistic integrity as most of these scenes were cut for a reason in the first place.
Interesting! I’ll be following this project closely. Personally I think you should use the blu-rays as a primary source and splice in other versions when needed.
Out of curiosity, why switch to the Blu-Ray source?
Looking over your cutlist, this looks like it resolves a lot of the problems I had with your first cut. I would definitely be interesting in checking this out. I promise I’ll provide some useful feedback this time!
That’s not a bad idea. I also would be interested in seeing a “no kill” version of the movie, where nothing is changed except that Batman doesn’t kill anyone. Personally, I think that this movie (even the ultimate cut which is significantly better) has some major issues, but right now I can’t think of a way to edit around them that doesn’t feel forced or create other problems.
I know some people have had success with avisynth filters like this: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96308
But I couldn’t begin to tell you how to do it. If you do end up doing this I’d be very interested in an unedited version of the Blu-Ray with the color correction applied.
I’d also encourage you to use the Blu-Ray of ROTS because I think it looks higher quality as well.
I would personally prefer the 50GB with all the docs, but that’s just me.
Awesome work Dahmage! If you add disc art for the Documentary discs it will be perfect.
Given my slow upload speeds and that i am currently seeding the 4 SW BDs, I’ll hold off on putting Empire on myspleen for a few days to give the current set a chance to seed strongly first.
So a little patience required for those who want those 2 spelling mistakes fixed.
If you decide not to wait, the MEGA links remain available.
I’m patient 😉
Did anybody else make any custom covers/disc art for these? I would really appreciate a two disc set of disc art for Star Wars.
Any specific music craps that stick out?
particular the cut from Han’s death to the starkiller base blowing everything up. I expected the track to continue seamlessly because those two scenes use essentially the same theme, but it actually felt kind of abrupt.
Still very interesting. The music cuts are pretty noticeable to me though. Not significantly moreso than in many prequel edits but for some reason it bothers me more here.
Yeah I’m missing fonts and artwork when I try to use the editable versions too, and I installed all the fonts included in the package.
Fantastic job on the BD50. Initially I had trouble playing it on my PS4 but I was able to get it playing right away on my PS3 and then it worked when I put it back in my PS4, so I think it must have just been a glitch with my PS4. Anxiously looking forward to the other films and the doc discs!
True, but they don’t lay out all the extras in this release 😉
I’m massively anticipating the BD50. Incredible work njvc.
Sort of…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSCm8yAxBr8&list=PLINl9l0igYjzIipxsD4Y59_Jjxe4N3pZo
I don’t think you should embellish Struzan’s art, even if it’s not accurate to the film. Stick with the original painting imo.
Personally I think it’s pretty awesome. Good job if you made that!
It’s easy to get Attack of the Clones under an hour. Just redub the analysis droid scene to imply Jango is on Geonosis rather than Kamino and change the crawl to imply that the clones have already been created and the debate is more about whether or not to deploy them. Then cut the romance similar to the Phantom Editor.
The question is whether or not you’d really want Attack of the Clones under an hour.
I love the movie as is, but I’m potentially interested in this. It does sound like an improvement.
I’m definitely interested in the BD50s 😃.
I’d appreciate a PM for both of these if possible…thanks!
So I just bit the bullet and re-encoded but I can’t notice any quality difference which is good. I’ll make it available somewhere shortly in mkv form. It will be large file, probably about 40gb. I can also make a BD25-sized version if there’s interest.
