Wait, I’m confused. Isn’t the whole point of this drive so that Adywan can get enough money from other people for supplies? Why would he use his own money to double the donation of others when he’ll already be using his own money later? Why not keep it and use it on top of all the donation money?

I’m not Adywan. Donations have stalled. I am willing to donate $1,000 to Adywan if others pitch in now and reach that limit.

I really wish I could donate, but I was warned by my family and friends about donating to things like this, because they think I’m being scammed.

You could be.

Better be safe than sorry. Your family and friends make good sense.

The hard work that goes on here is also exploited (burned to disc then sold on eBay for profit).

I would be eternally grateful for a link to that cleaned up scene if you are of the inclination to share it out.

All,

Here ya go

Nice … but there are a few skips in the video at around 40 secs - followed by a big one at the 47 secs mark.

Here’s my quick attempt at restoring the Tosche Station scenes:

Very nice. Bummer about the watermark though.

It’s just a quick test - I only spent a day working on it. I need to spend a little longer to restore some of the details that were scrubbed out. When it’s done, I’ll make it available without a watermark to anyone who wants to use it.

Thanks!

The Empire Strikes Back - Expanded Edition (Work in Progress)
Time

Just finished watching the whole thing.

Impressive - but I’d leave out any of the SE changes (Hoth Wampa, etc). I’m glad you didn’t include that alternate Cloud City scene between Han and Leia.

My favourite additions are, the extended Wampa attack on Luke at the very beginning, the brief shot of Boba Fett in the carbon chamber, and the deleted scene with Leia tending to Luke’s injuries in the Falcon - this deleted scene looked a little cleaner than the surrounding material, and should be ‘dirtied up’ to match the rest of the film’s video quality.

The audio levels for the deleted scenes are all over the place and need to be fixed.

Otherwise, a decent job!

The Empire Strikes Back - Expanded Edition (Work in Progress)
Time

Just finished watching another half hour chunk.

The colourised b/w footage (Veers’ death, Yoda with the metal bar, and the extended Leia / Han kiss) was impressively done. The matching colour grading was almost seamless in some instances.

The rearranged scenes felt odd, but that’s from viewing the 1980 film so many times, so was to be expected.

The film’s poor video helps the integration of the cut material enormously.

The audio levels for the deleted scenes was a little high for the surrounding material (Luke / Leia medical bay, etc).

My free account with Mega.nz would only allow me to view the first 36 mins of your expanded cut.

I enjoyed what I was viewing a lot.

Some observations:

At the 5:16 mark, there’s a random frame or two that slipped past, during the deleted, extended dialogue between Han and Chewie (“dont lose your temper.”) that needs removal.

At the 23:20 mark, Artoo’s scream (from the Hoth Wampa scene?) carried over Piett’s face and the start of the deleted scene between Luke and Leia (recovering after the bacta tank).

At the 28:04 mark, the deleted scene with Han and Leia could use some work on its geometry - the scene looks vertically stretched (Leia, looks like a conehead).

That’s as far as I got before the “Transfer Quota Exceeded” message popped up to ruin my pleasant viewing experience. Lol. Bummer. Would like to see the rest - if possible?

If you download it using the MEGA app, it should automatically resume when the wait time runs out. I’ve also had some success messing around with VPN’s to get around the wait.

I’d like a link too, by the way.

I’ll try it. Thanks!

Doctor Who - alternate 6th Doctor intro story
Time

You want to fix THE TWIN DILEMMA?

Take the regeneration scene at the end of THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI, and use that as a CASTROVALVA-style reprise for the start of ATTACK OF THE CYBERMEN (an infinitely better opening story for the sixth Doctor). Done - no more nasty THE TWIN DILEMMA.

I remember that STRANGER video. I borrowed it once - out of curiosity. I had an idea it was going to be sh*t. Guess what? It was.

War of the Stars although entertaining os kind of like a joke edit…

The deleted scenes will get cleaned up eventually, work is ongoing.

Here is the Dianoga and chasm battle Restored.

And Here is the Duel and the Hangar shootout

Credit to Adywan for some shots involving Obiwan and Vader I think it is hard to watch Star wars with thr Cloak prop these days… THere is something I am a bit perplexed there is a piece of reversed footage here so I have unreversed the shot now it matches the soundmix but it sort of kicks out… Are some of these shots vertically stretched or something?

The placement of the Dianoga shot worked better in the theatrical release(s).

The reshuffling of Vader’s line: “You should not have come back.” feels a little awkward. The line delivery doesn’t quite match his prior dialogue. Otherwise, nice job!
