Great - if it happens? Michael Mann should also revisit THE KEEP.

Long time, no update, but work is always progressing. I’m trying out a fancy new program and trying to isolate some vocals. Here’s Leia tending to Luke, with all audio noise and Kersh being muted.

And here is what it sounded like before.

A bit of an improvment to say the least. Hopefully this process can be used all over the place to clean up the rest of the raw on-set audio.

Most of the cut is picture locked, with myself and RogueLeader doing some audio work on it now.

You think this software could be used for the deleted “sandstorm” sequence from RETURN OF THE JEDI?

How about some screen-shots? I’d be interested in seeing the new widescreen (1.85:1?) framing.

B-b-b-b-u-t it comes in a fancy case - and it’s THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. LOL.

Great stuff!

Just realised the deleted scenes show Leia without her gloves on (naturally enough, indoors) in her Hoth outfit. Something I don’t think happened in the final film.

Are you going to include the brief outtake of 2-1B removing the bacta mask from Luke’s face?

I like the spinning turbine engine fan you’ve added to the landspeeder.

Nice work.

This guy / gal isn’t going to share anything with you people.

You want the deleted scenes cleaned up and restored? You’ll have to do it yourselves.

I’ve just seen this… Im A guy I even have a pic of me on my Profile LOL
You know what I will share it with everyone once I’m happy with it, WHY WOULDNT I…
I’ve Been Working on this for a few years now… FRAME BY FRAME cleaning up these shots… I wasn’t happy with My Original Work… So I’ve been going back over it many many times…

I want to get them as best as I can… I don’t want these Deleted Scenes to look out of place when Some of The Fan Edits guys want to include them into the Edits to Stand out Like a sore thumb, that’s why Its taking time…
The only reason I’ve seen these Posts now is that I haven’t been on here for a while as there was Nothing to Report…
But I know have something to update and show people that I took on the feedback and Toned Everything Down to a Minimum,
So people will see the Update VERY VERY SOON

THANKS TO ALL THE POSITIVE COMMENTS
Stay Awesome and
STAY SAFE

PEACE
SKY

Take your time.

Very interesting. Thanks!

Good stuff!

So, what’s the rest of the unreleased Wampa footage consist of? Anybody know what exactly was filmed and what wasn’t?

Any footage of the beasts in their makeshift holding pens? Or the scene with the two droids, passing by a cell, and Threepio noting that Artoo’s beeps attract their attention?

Nice!

Good stuff!

I feel that you should release the deleted-scenes only, as you did for ‘Star Wars: Leftovers’, without doing an extended edit.

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Leftovers-A-Collection-of-Raw-Footage-and-Deleted-Scenes-Released/id/82752

I’m sure that you have a lot of other projects that you want to do, so let someone else use the collection of deleted scenes to produce their own polished fan-edit of ESB.

😉

Are you going to use the bounty hunter footage, from the 40th Anniversary videos?

Annoyingly, there’s a lot of missing frames, that’s impossible to fix.

A pity, as the scene would fit in nicely with the surrounding material.

I do have one big question. Why does Miss Teschmacher break Lex out of prison when (at least in the extended version) he tried to sacrifice her to their animals before Superman saved her. You’d think they’d be through by the events of the second film.

Perhaps because she’s hopelessly in love with him? Crazy girl. Lex, also tried to murder her mother (indirectly) - she lived in the same area the missiles would explode.

A bigger mystery is why the character vanishes from the film? Was there a reason, I’ve forgotten?

I think her last scene was using the ‘conveniences’ - a deleted moment, in the Fortress of Solitude?

I’m glad that buffoon, Otis, was cut loose from the film - but also sorry he didn’t hang around and have some scenes with the three super villains. I wonder what Ursa & Non would’ve made of him?

Viewing the R.I.C. there’s an extended scene with the police deputy, surreptitiously trying to move round the police car, and bumping into Ursa, later on, he’s seen hobbling out of the police car in town - he looks like he’s holding back (barely) a dump.

You think Ursa may’ve done something to him, offscreen?

It’s fun trying to identify the changes in the three Kryptonian criminals’ appearance. In some of the additional R.I.C. shots, General Zod’s hair colour changes from greying to slick black. Sarah Douglas’s wig is another.

Honestly, Margot Kidder’s appearance stands out the most between both versions. Her different makeup and hairstyles make her look almost unrecognizable in Lester’s material. Marc McClure’s hair also looked different from both directors as well.

I think (and don’t quote me on this because I don’t even remember where I read this probably between 12-15 years ago) Sarah Douglass said in an interview that during one shoot her costume had her in high heels, but in another shoot, her shoes were wedges. I can’t remember which though.

High heels are sexier.

Have you tried using any of the footage from the DC that is available to stream?

I’ve heard it may’ve been an earlier edit of the DONNER CUT, with additional deleted material ( boy gets killed by Non, etc).

Oh yeah. I definitely using that to help, along with the Restored International Cut. I’m almost done with my edit of the first film, but I’ll need someone talented in VFX to help out to get the second film done.

They even re-dubbed the kid when he gets on the horse. I think the original voice was better but in my copy of the RIC there’s a weird “echo” to his voice.

That’s odd. I’ll look into it all. I plan on restoring the original voices to all the actors, apart from say Sarah Douglas, who I believe was dubbed by Annie Ross, who later played a character in Superman III.

I also think Terence Stamp’s voice was pitched a bit lower, but I’ll have to check. As long as the pitch of his voice sounds close to how he sounded at the beginning of the first film.

I’ve heard some say they thought Gene Hackman’s voice double had some better delivery to the lines, but I still feel it sounds phony to me.

I attempted a fan edit once. Had some fun making a hybrid version of the trashing of the White House sequence. Put together a more exciting (imo) cut, using the TC and DC.

Didn’t use any of the R.I.C. footage because of the poor quality, but I liked the scene with Non and the guard dog.

The “weird echo” is on my copy. The kid has an English accent which sounds out of place. What does he sound like for the streaming version of the DC?

I pictured someone more mature, more adult. Not the whining, pretty boy c*** that we got.

It’s my least favourite of the OT. I do have fond memories of seeing it in 1983 (the only OT STAR WARS film I saw on original release).

I think the final chapter could’ve (and should’ve) been so much more. What sinks this for me, is the tired script and some of the performances.

The second Death Star is unoriginal, the Ewoks are a rubbish creation. The Emperor is a corny, cackling fool and Vader is weak and ineffectual.

I’ve never liked Luke’s black outfit, Chewbacca’s new hairdo - and Solo looks like he’s put on weight.

Jabba, is a fine creation. Looking and sounding impressive. Some of the courtiers at his palace, veer in the Jim Henson ‘Muppet territory’ in their designs.

The Rancor beast is fun. Wish the sequence in the pit was a little longer.

The Sarlaac beast looks bad. The new SE version isn’t much better.

I wish Boba Fett wasn’t in this. His character does nothing, and has no dialogue - apart from a death scream.

The ‘throne room’ scenes are decent, but can’t help thinking the official novelisation did a better job with the scenes. Don’t know if it was filmed or not, but the additional dialogue between the Emperor and Luke, about Yoda, should’ve made the final cut.

A disappointment, after the quality of the first two films. This is still much better than the prequels and sequels.

Wow, rude. Dude already shared the ROTJ lightsaber scene. I assume he just wants more time tweaking the Biggs scenes until he gets something he’s happy with sharing.

Okay.

Will the database be updated with the outtakes from the two 40th anniversary EMPIRE featurettes?

This guy / gal isn’t going to share anything with you people.

You want the deleted scenes cleaned up and restored? You’ll have to do it yourselves.

Great video.

Wish I was a time traveller.
