Call me a nerd but I really want a Discord so that I can know the people of OT.com better.
You could probably make use of channels to contain Off-Topic’s wackiness.

This is Obamese for “Calibrate your monitor”
Really all you have to do is explain Dooku and the Clone Wars in the crawl.
Not exactly the same thing, but here’s (a kind of old version) of the crawl to a fanedit I’m working on, for a shorter version of a standalone Revenge of the Sith. The wording hasn’t been changed in newer versions.
You could do something like that to have the same effect.
What happened? What did I miss?
Luke deserves a red lightsaber in RotJ

Did we watch the same Revenge of the Sith?
Dude, if you want to make this project just the color correction you think looks good on your screen, good on you. But if you’re going to name your thread “What is wrong and what is right” and treat it like objective preservationism, calibrate your god damn monitor!
What is the huge issue with calibrating your monitor?
I mean, yeah, a green screen room is technically a set, but it’s not the same set you’ll see in the movie and really shouldn’t count.

I just had this thought when I was watching ANH:R last night. I understand that you are going to be changing some things between the current form of ANH:R and what will become ANH:R HD. Now what follows isn’t supposed to be inflammatory it was just a thought that I found interesting.
Would you consider the fact that you are tweaking with your version of ANH:R to be almost akin to the way Lucas tweaked with the standard ANH. We’re coming upon the same dilemma where the original ANH:R will not be available in an HD format, just like the OUT is not available in HD formats. You changed your mind about some decisions that were made and want this new HD version to be the definitive version of the films, yet there are people (like me) that would just like to see the current ANH:R but in HD.
I’m not sure this equates completely, but I feel like you could understand Lucas’s mindset on why the Special Editions exist in the first place. I also recall a popular argument for why the Special Editions are bad is because they supersede the Original Versions. That same thing is now going to happen with ANH:R. I’m not trying to be accusatory, I just thought this was something as a community that we could discuss.
The original version is not possible to rerelease in HD as it was. I forget why, I think the original assets are gone, but regardless, the original version can’t be rereleased. With the Theatrical Versions of the movies, they absolutely can be rereleased.
ANH:RHD is not ANH:R in HD, or ANH:R 2.0, it’s its own project, from scratch, just with the same purpose as ANH:R, and its inspiration. I think that alone justifies making changes.

It’s okay but it’s playing near constantly
Replace some exposition in the opening crawl, then done, honestly. The other two prequels don’t really do much for the story, and definitely nothing that can’t be explained in a crawl.
LordZerome1080, could you elaborate on what you said?
Also, you forgot to say FTFY.
Darth Maul is a far better villain than crylo ruin will ever be.
Can we get a dab emoji for this
Also a version recreated in pencil like the Take On Me music video
Wild stuff
Pretty good stuff
The color grading, grain, everything you did in that regard is amazing. Wow.
i’m a bit confused as to which version is which but even though the newest ones look incredible, i prefer the more radical ones from a few days ago.
Yes, I think the more aggressive curves adjustment on the first attempt was better in the dark scenes (which comprised most of my comparisons), but I had to dial it down because it was overexposing the exterior shots. As the latest comparison shows however, the two grades are pretty similar colorwise and only need slight brightness adjustments based on the scene to work as well.
I’m not a color gradingologist, so forgive me when what I’m about to say inevitably is stupid, but how believable/good looking would it be if you had separate color grading for light and dark shots/scenes?
I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t very interested in this project, but that is an outstanding trailer. Who would have known that putting the Imperial March over Jar Jar talking would work so well?
i like the idea too, but i like the “you’re sounding like a separatist!” scene, so i’m not sure if that’d be one to be cut.
100% gives it away that Anakin is the Jedi she’s talking about, although to be honest, I’m not buying that the audience would legitimately believe it wasn’t Anakin, just because of the specific wording she uses.
In all spaceship shots where you can see outside, into space, mask out the windows and replace it with this.
Hinting at pirating content, which puts this whole website and fanediting & fan restoration as a whole at risk.
Not a bad idea.
