Has anyone had any luck with subtitles for this?

Some original color references

Production stills =/= color references

From what I understand, you used the 2017 Remastered Blu-ray?

Yes.

Are you aware of the problems with it?

do not go to forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com and expect to find links to the movies…i just registered and it was a complete waste of time.
jumped through all the hoops and there wasn’t anything worthwhile…so I spent a few minutes to tell others on this forum not to bother, hopefully save your time.

forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com = waste of time.

You didn’t provide links to the movies either; ergo you’re a waste of time too!

A colour corrected version has been posted, and has more than 650K views as of posting this 😄

As for the colour grading, the new remaster is closer to the original timing/grading, than the old DVD/Blu-ray versions were.

Based on what reference?

35mm scans

Oh, didn’t know there was any. Will look for that, thanks.

Sorry for not providing a link when first talking about it 😃

I’d take Oliver’s video a huge grain of salt. He advises people to turn off HDR when viewing 4K UHD content… What? HDR and WCG is one of the main features of the 4K UHD format.
It seems he’s misinformed when it comes to this format.

As for the colour grading, the new remaster is closer to the original timing/grading, than the old DVD/Blu-ray versions were. So pick your poison.
The 2.0 LaserDisc audio has already been synchronized to this new release: https://forum.fanres.com/thread-2692-post-54371.html#pid54371

We already have 4k BD - perfect home video release for 1.85:1.
So, I’m more for preserve this film as uncropped - Full Frame.

Is the 4K master actually used for the standard BD? Cause I can’t do anything in 4K.
And I didn’t mean as a replacement of releasing the scan open matte, obviously the full super8 frame would be the priority for most people. I just think that, if it looks good enough, watching it in widescreen would still be great (and for me personally, preferable 😃).

Nope, it’s the 2010 Ultimate Hunter disc.
Do yourself a favor and get in on the 4K UHD action - that one looks amazing 😃

Hey, wouldn’t it be much more easy to make a reconstruction like Harmy did with his despecialized trilogy? Use the official Blu Ray version as a main source, combined with elements from a late HDTV broadcast of the 2001 DVD Version and some upscales from the Japanese Laserdisc?

Easier? Probably not.
Cheaper? For sure.
But that’s missing the entire point of scanning 35mm reels.

PLEASE stop this. You clearly have no idea what you’re doing, and you’re NOT restoring the film to its original look.
There are numerous people in this thread pointing out errors in everything you do. Maybe it’s not us, but you.

Can’t a mod lock this thread please?

I’ll gladly chip in as well 😃

Wow! Greedo really does shoot first!

I’m more amazed that he not only gets blasted, but also managed to appear in the hangar afterwards

That would explain why Luke’s legs have a cast of red colour, even on the Blu-ray

Ronster, you always seem to be blathering about wrong colours and hues, and originally intended vision of George Lucas. There are several great copies of the film out there, representing a very accurate image of the original film, with its original colours - and we have several talented members working on restoring the film back to that original look.
You’re more than welcome to start your own thread/project, if you feel like something should be corrected in another way.

I’ll give you some feedback when my download finishes tomorrow. I’m too cheap to pay for MEGA at this point, so I’m limited in bandwidth 😛

EDIT: I watched the whole movie, and I have no complaints. It looked beautiful 😃

It was filmed with the Red Weapon 8K, so it should be in real 4k. Maybe the VFX aren’t, but the real stuff is

http://www.red.com/news/gotg-vol-2-to-shoot-on-8k-weapon

I am aware of that. It was finished with a 4K DI so that mean’s the CGI will have 4K textures and shaders.

No. If the VFX were rendered at 2K, then that’s the final output for the VFX.

I don’t know how accurate these are to [insert specific version], but they look great!

Yoda seems to have lost his ghostly haze in the corrected frame.

The ghost effect was almost non-existant in the cinema too

Well the entire film is garbage, so it’s no wonder the colour grading is off as well 😛

Warning for an off topic post. There are other threads for critiquing the film itself. Any quotes/replies to this post will be deleted. — Jay

Duh, I don’t know how I’ve missed that 😄
Thanks 😃

I just recall from the cinema-release trailer that i looked like it had been DNR’d to hell and back. Maybe the UHD didn’t receive the same punishment?

You might want to check out the European version (Disney). It’s from a different source than the US version (Sony).

Is there even a European release of the UHD release? All I can find is the U.S. release, and importing it seems like the only way to get it.

A PM with a link would be appreciated, or uploaded on MySpleen 😃
Thank you. This looks very interesting!
