If you have exact timestamps for the photos you’re after, send me a PM and I will get you photos from a 1080p 35mm full-frame version.
Ahh okay; there was a TV show from the US which shows most of the cars used in the trilogy. I think the show was called “Expedition X” or something similar.
I recall Christopher Lloyd was part of the show for a few episodes; I vaguely recollect that they found the owner of the car you’re wanting pictures of.
It might be worth tracking down the show, as it might give you leads on the parts / photos you’re after?
Wasn’t that car located? I thought that all of the cars used were eventually located. You could contact the owner of the car (or what’s left of it), and kindly ask for them to take photos?
I think the trailer is down? Cant open it.
Sorry about that – I had posted it on Vimeo, and they forced changes to the music as it contravened their policy on using commercially-available music. I had to cut up the trailer so much that it was useless - it had no impact anymore.
I’ll re-uploaded the original trailer soon - most likely to Mega.
This edit seems like a more updated / better version of the Anti-Cheese edits seemingly also getting inspiration from some of the more “modern” edits along with anti-cheese.
Sounds really good! I hope this project isn’t dead. Would love to see Phase3’s take on the whole PT.
Thanks very much! The project is very much alive-- now that I have finished my AOTC edit, I have time to get stuck into rebuilding the TPM edit.
hi does anyone have this edit
If you can wait, I’ll have an updated, much better version of the edit soon!
The removal of the TIE and hair both look great — fantastic attention to detail - well done!!
There was someone on youtube a while back that made a CG version of this scene with the explosion moving away and it doesn’t work. The thing with an explosion that moves away is that it gives the impression that its getting smaller and it lessens the visual impact. Thankfully Star Wars really doesn’t stick to real world physics when it comes to FX and goes for a more visual impact than real world.
Ahh you’re absolutely right - the visual impact would be greatly lessened were the explosion to get smaller.
The explosion looks “fuller” if that makes sense – it’s a much better explosion than the original. One tiny thing that stood out though (which may be so small as to be deemed entirely irrelevant):
The two other TIE’s are moving forward towards the screen, yet the explosion seems to be locked into place; wouldn’t the explosion be steadily moving away from the camera?
That looks great!
Apparently, Team Negative who worked on the 4K77/80/83 versions are currently working on tweaking the Deleted scenes themselves…
Where did you read that? I found no topics related to that on the SWTrilogy site.
The top photo looks great; as others have noted, it makes it look more otherworldly. Darkening it a bit will really sell the effect!
Several people have made 4K versions of the deleted scenes; check out Darth Pyro’s upscales on the SWTrilogy Forum, as well as MechaSalesman AKA Numeral Joker’s upscales.
I’ve made my own upscales, however haven’t uploaded them anywhere sorry!
I just adjusted the color till the blue Channel was isolated… that’s it. Some general masking wrapped it up nicely.
That’s a good way to do it – I hadn’t thought of isolating one colour channel only haha!
In the original film, as the X-Wings are approaching the Death Star, Red Leader states “we’re passing through the magnetic field”, which is when the audio distortion starts to happen.
Prior to them nearing the Death Star, there was no distortion in their ship-to-ship radio communication.
If you remove that distortion, it makes that part of the dialogue useless; will you be removing that dialogue in your edit?
Out of curiosity, would you consider adding in the blue energy shields, similar to what was shown in Revenge Of The Sith, to the Death Star?
Here is a quick mock-up of what I mean:
That’s really nicely done! Did you use the behind-the-scenes footage (and add the hologram & scanlines effects), or did you use the existing hologram footage? Either way, you’ve done some great rotoscoping there! Was it a case of doing some refined rotoscoping, or did you use another method for isolating the footage?
That looks great!
new clip, cool idea? or should it be left out?

audio is still a wip
This is a fantastic idea!
An example of how good an image can be yielded if you just work hard enough to fix 4k77’s shortcomings.
no power windows, no qualifiers. pure full frame manual cc. and amazing grain reduction and regraining. not to mention the hours of manual cleanup.
Looking at each of these photos and video clips, it’s clear that you have managed to extract a lot more detail that was previously obscured. Nicely done! 😃
Great work on adjusting the colours!
Yeah, definitely! It’s a great idea, and lets the audience know that he got away.
what do you guys think of Vader going into hyperspeed? is it a good idea?
That looks fantastic! 😃
The colours look great; I didn’t see any artefacts or any visual issues at all. Nicely done!
That’s very interesting! Over the last few years I’ve heard many attempts at recreations, but your version is the first I’ve heard with the audio from the ‘From Star Wars to Jedi’ documentary. Nicely done!
