I don’t know the intricacies of any of the crawls but the font for A NEW HOPE looked off to me…slightly different font? It also seemed like it’s at a slightly different angle than the rest of the crawl. But I could be completely wrong about all of this. Which film is the score from? Because it’s not from the original, right?
By-the-way, this still looks really good!

First things first. I used the same font for everything in this crawl. It looks better in my opinion. A NEW HOPE look like it has different angle because it’s taller than the rest. And the score is from A New Hope Soundtrack and not the movie itself (because it has better quality).

Check out the final opening crawl! Done entirely in Adobe After Effects. This is a mix of Sequel Trilogy crawls (color, font) and original A New Hope (perspective, speed).

This stuff looks great so far. How are you planning on dealing with SE elements? Like the battle of Yavin, will you leave that mostly as is?

I’m gonna leave those elements which look good enough, doesn’t matter if they’re from original or SE. I don’t have any specific plan for Battle of Yavin but I want to keep it canonical and only change it visually.

Alright, so… I can’t promise you guys that this project will ever be finished. It takes A LOT of time (which I don’t really have) to work on every single element. For example, I was working on the planet from the first shot for like few hours and I’m still not fully satisfied with how it looks. Also, I don’t know that much about all these programs, so I have to learn them on a regular basis. But I can promise, that I’ll do my best to make this fan-edit the best looking ‘A New Hope’ you’ve ever seen! At the bottom there’s a custom crawl I created today 😄

And by the way, it would be great if someone please sent me a copy of 4k77 DNR so I can start to work on color grading 😃

The very first shot from Star Wars: A New Hope - Remastered 😃 As you can see I’m gonna use some original models while enhancing them a bit.

That shot looks just like something out of Rogue One, nice job!

I also watched your color grading for the beginning of the Battle of Yavin and it also looks similar to RO.

Indeed, I was very inspired by Rogue One 😃

And by the way, here’s the shot from the same sequence (composition might change yet)

Oh guys, thank you all for your comments!

1. @emanswfan - I’m a huge fan of Adywan’s work and I’m mainly inspired by his TESB Revisited. I just saw Aggelw project and while it looks amazing (CGI is great!) I don’t want to change that much, especially the aesthetics of the movie.
2. @Hal 2000 - I don’t have any ideas yet, but something similar to Hosnian Prime destruction would be nice.
3. @4throck - I’m going to do so. Some of the original effects still holds up so it would be pointless to replace it with CGI.

UPDATE: This project is not going to be finished. I may occasionally release some new VFX or color grading just for fun.

GOALS:

• Complete color grade using ‘SkyMaster’s 4k77 upscale’
• Replace bad-looking special effects with realistic, Rogue One-like CGI
• Remaster music and sound effects

Your work is good but you need to move further away from the original. Otherwise you repeat the same mistakes.
The movie is badly edited AND has a lot of bad ideas.
Still it’s quite decent if you can see beyond that.

Drop the sabre toss and use deleted scenes + TJA footage.
Link the movies and get right into Luke and Rey.

Here’s how my personal edit starts:

It’s not perfect, but somehow even the milk scene (with a small edit) falls into place.
I’ve added some stock footage to create establishing shots.

Just a suggestion, but don’t be afraid to move away from the original stuff.
And please, use the alternate Finn introduction (no water ball) 😃

Hey, fantastic job on color grading! It looks soooo much better

Hey Ady! Do you consider changing the Rebel base to look more like in the Rogue One? In the original it’s really dark and mostly covered in shadows so we don’t see many details. It looks so much different (and better) in RO so you can replace/enhance some backgrouds in the Revisited and add some extra shots from outside the base 😃
