Originally posted by: INv8r_ZIMHey, Adywan, for some inspiration on the colour correction, have a peek (if you haven't yet) at the thread about automatically using the GOUT to do colour correction. There's a fantastic plugin for AviSynth called ColorLike which will match histograms between two video sources, and has been shown to work very very well between the LD footage and the 2004 SEs.
Yeh, i've been following that thread closely. unfortunately i wouldn't know where to start with Avisynth so i'm stuck with doing it all manually.
Originally posted by: SluggoAdywan, just a little thinking out of the box here, but have you have thought about condensing the Jabba scene to remove the Greedo references so the Jabba scene might be before the cantina scene? Maybe this is too radical an edit. Nevermind.
Well i've decided to scrap the Jabba scene completely. It's really not needed as the scene with Greedo has already some of the conversation between Han & Jabba. It's going to be relagated to the deleted scenes section.
I'm also removing the Bike & ronto scene. I was going to swap the ronto with something else to make it less slapstick but then noticed the background plate. This scene takes part right outside the cantina. So, as we are supposed to be following the route of lukes speeder and you see it pass infront of the camera at the opening of this shot, then this scene looks like they have driven straight past it and causes another continuity issue. The sequence is much better without it.

2. I'd drop the Luke and Biggs scene in the hanger as well. It's another unnecessary change that adds nothing to the story.
I totally agree with this. With the scenes earlier in the film cut out, the scene makes no sense and helps to paint Luke as uncaring when his
best friend in the known universe gets exploded and he barely reacts.
I'm keeping that scene because when Biggs is killed Luke now reacts (thanks to the radio dramas).
Originally posted by: GorillaThere are a couple changes that you've made that I'm unsure of.
Are you certain the Rebel Base computer tracking the Death Star needed to be corrected? I don't think anything was wrong with either the way the Death Star was tracking the Yavin moon or the way the Rebel Base was tracking the Death Star. If you look closely, they both show the Death Star orbiting counter clockwise around Yavin. For the Imperials the Death Star is tracking the Rebel moon BEHIND the planet. For the Rebels the Death Star is the little red circle, the big blue circle is their moon. There is no contradiction, they both show the same perspective.
This has me confused because i've never said anything about correcting the way they are tracking. I'm just cleaning up and enhancing the effects for the displays, and nothing else.
Also, are you sure it's necessary to have a Super Star Destroyer present at the battle of Yavin? First, I always assumed Vader had a customized TIE fighter with hyperdrive so seeing him fly off into space alone never bothered me. Second, I always thought Super Star Destroyers were built in the timefram between ANH and ESB, none existed before then. Third, when the Death Star was destroyed a Star Destroyer could just launch wave after wave of TIE fighters and TIE bombers to wipeout the Rebel Base. The Rebels lost alot of ships and men, there's no way they would be able to put up a defense. I apologize if it sounds like I'm nit picking. I just don't think either of these changes were needed.
), I actually noticed that your iris out seems to match the actual iris out, while mine is way too thin, and Premiere just won't make it wider without wanting a "border" in the middle.
