From October 2023

A long overdue update…

Things are progressing really well with ANH:RHD. There’s only about 40 shots left to do. It may sound like a lot of shots but it’s not. Most of the film is complete. The remaining shots are mainly the CG work for the Yavin battle with a few shots here and there in other places. It’s looking very likely that it’s going to be a 2024 release now, hopefully mid year. The one thing that could hold things up is shooting the replacement Sandtroopers. I was hoping to get the shots i need filmed this year but we have had such a shite summer it became impossible. So that’s going to have to wait until next year when hopefully we’ll have some sunny days.

[snip]

There’s no way i can do any serious work on the video side of things for ROTJ:R until ANH:RHD is complete and released because ANH has almost filled up all of the new internal drives and most of the external ones i purchased because they are the backups. One 8tb external developed a fault that couldn’t be fixed but luckily i was able to replace that and recover all but one of the files that were on it. So once ANH is done and dusted i can start to empty the internal drives to continue work on ROTJ:R. So, at the moment, i have just enough space to complete ANH:R and render out the master file. Then it’s on to the audio mix.

But i will be starting to build the models etc for ROTJ:R early next year so i’ll keep you updated about those.

So ‘hopefully mid year’ is where we’re getting summer from…

Sure, I suppose. But those of us who have been around for a while know that it’s done when it’s done.

There’s one little background change that was made to TESB when it hit 4K that the Revisited version doesn’t have. On the 2011 Blu-Ray, in the three close-up shots where Luke’s X-Wing is sinking in the water, there’s a black section that’s cast over the top right corner. The 4K version fixed that by replacing the black section with more haze. You can see the differences here: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=137645

Is this change even worth applying to TESB:R when you get to working on the Blu-Ray?

To be clear, that’s not so much a “fix” as “the 4K version didn’t ruin the scan of the film in that particular way”.

So, it’s not really worth it?

I’m just saying it’s not a “fix”, it’s a choice of what scan he wants to use.

The easter eggs are hilarious!
It’s too bad I wasn’t able to proofread the dutch subtitles though, I’ve only seen the first 16 minutes but I’ve already caught a few errors and sentences that no good sound.
Count me in for help with the subs for empire 😉

The easter eggs are in the dvd9 or the dvd5 disc??? And how can i watch them?

I’m not sure what the context of “Easter eggs” was in a post from 15 years ago.

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

WDW203 said:

Since v3.1 is inevitable, I’ll point out that the opening shot is from the SE. In 4K83, the TIE fighters are much bluer than the Star Destroyer. This change is not in the Viscomp. I believe this a power window fix and not due to the overall color grade. The fighters are blue in other shots in the same sequence where DEED uses 4K83. (FWIW, the GOUT also has blue fighters on a grey Destroyer.

Yeah, power window changes would be the death of me.

KurganX said:

Is there a danger, that as Disney keeps releasing OT era tv shows, that these edits will never be finished?

Hopefully not, but if there is, I’ll have your shuttle standing by…

Why would they affect Ady at all? It’s not like he works on the shows.

Per the WordPress site,
“Remove Yub Nub & Victory Celebration”

That must have been written waaaay back, during the briefest of times i was thinking of ending it on the funeral pyre. The ending is going to be pretty much the theatrical ending. NO planets, no Hayden, no Victory Celebration. I hate the SE planet celebrations and victory celebration music. Victory celebration sounds so out of place musically. Williams just basically ripped off the original animatic guide track ( and didn’t even bother to try and hide the fact) and it sounds so out of place in the OT. The guide track was for a Native American mini series and you can tell it still has that theme.

The original animatic guide track?

Yep. Here:

How have I never seen this before

“Red R2” issue now fixed 😃

https://youtu.be/Vg5hg6SispQ

I guess my eyes are worse than I thought they were. I don’t see a red R2 in the 2011 footage.

The “issue” was Adywan’s original fix for having two R2’s in the scene, which was coloring one of them red (see ANHR and last week’s preview video).

Ohh ok. I see it in the original comparison. So there were always “officially” two R2s in that shot? Never noticed before.

There’s one prop heading toward camera, then the actors turn a corner and another prop heads directly away from camera.

Was it two props or hidden stitch continuity error? I asumed that lady that crosses the screen was hiding a wipe.

It’s two props.

Am I the only one who thought the replies sounded a bit sarcastic before actually watching the video? Like, I thought Ady added a ronto walking across the screen or something like that. 😉

Dammit, Ady, we should have waited until April 1st!

It would’ve good to hype it up. Behold the amazing visual effects. You won’t believe your eyes.

and then it’s just like…a pillar.

No, the Ronto is always the answer.
