Biggs & Luke Take A Walk At Tosche

So wanted to share an update on ANH-X. It is coming along but I have some competing things going on. I just wanted to get this sample clip out as it seems like I have been working on this one for 10 years. I was never happy with it and technology was not there to clean it up enough to insert it into a final movie without it looking like it from the cutting room floor, so it was always throw it on the shelf and come back later. Love this scene ever since I saw the photos in the 1977 storybook

I wanted this in the movie, but with all the editions, we never got it.

the Tosche Station Biggs and Luke walk was a challenge because aside from being long, it has a little bit of everything…dust, scratch lines, blots, massive yellowing coloring jumps in frames, bluryness you name it.

My approach to this was to match a modern look where the color of the sky is a nice desert blue and colors are vivid, this also needs to match the Adywan base to which I am looking to match it all up with. Below is one of my reference sheets that I was using. The first Tosche station scene also uses this color grade (that is also 98% done)

For the final clip I added an all new music track that is actually a combination of 3 different music tracks that fans on Youtube who posted this clip not restored (Credit to others for mixing some excellant backtracking)…really helps when you have some samples and choice to pick and choose from.

I may tweak a few things right before a V1 of ANH (still hoping from sometime in May), but this scenes image should 98% and faithful to the photograph references we have seen throughout the years.

One last thing, the scene with 3PO at the start that transitions into with desert ridge is zoomed in a little more as intentional as I wanted to get a closer shot and dragon bones and the over shot framed.

The end fade into R2 into the caynon is another edit using the original Adywan FX composite from way back, but with his new HD sky (sample from what he posted (Sky graphic all credit to him). I personally like the idea of the caynon looking more like the Jugland Waste we see outside of new hope, Prequals etc. (complete with the BThazoshe Bridge). See sample artwork of that as reference below:

The version that we got with the Bluray was kind of just ok and somewhat overly orange, so wanted add this new composite.

Here is the a comparion clip with the final

and in a few days I will post an full res version if people want it now to insert into projects they have.

Enjoy.

Shooting for this May for version 1 but it’s looking tight, got some competing things. Working on the Luke and Biggs deleted walk (been a waiting years to get at this one and get it restored and hoping for this in a few weeks. I am thinking about releasing it as a sample progress full res clip just to keep things fresh and moving, but it will also be in version one. Thanks for the interest.

Hello everyone, I think I found two unused shots from the original trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNwNXF9Y6kY&t=12s&ab_channel=StarWars

1. the first one is of Lando walking down the hallway with his men (maybe before meeting Han on the platform ?) - at 00:47-00:49;
2. the second one is in Wampa’s cave (an alternate view of the hanging Luke before he opens his eyes) - at 01:09-01:10.

I hope they are helpful.
If you have already discussed them - sorry for the “spam”.

Got 'em in my version. That trailer (narrated by Ford) has tons of other as I think Benduwan was saying. Watched it again I think there are also some extra shots (for a sec) on hoth with the soldiers (just random stuff) will have compare later and see. I think maybe 2 shots. A lot of shot like that were very similar

Nice call out though.

benduwan said:

wow. i blow away… 😃
there are some cool ideas. can´t wait to see this.
you add more scenes or is this the full list of your changes?
what running time would be expected?
would ther be updates of your other movies?
thank you very much for doing such a big task…
regards

This is the full list that should include all deleted scenes and shots that I know to exist. Will not know run time until each version is completed.
update for ESB is the same and here is link to that post where shot list is now updated
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/ESB-X-the-eXtended-version-WIP/id/94195

Shotlist for Jedi started some but a ways to go and will not visit unitl after May as I want to get extended versions of ESB, ANH and Raiders done first

thanks for showing interest

Hi all and happy new year!

This is an update on my ANH-X (A New Hope Extended).

I have the final shot list done and have many new scenes completed for a Version 1.
Below is the updated shot list of ANH-X and I have also added this as an update to my original post for this tread since it will be easier than having to read through everything.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LUXrjmAZjB__71BXwHY-_5XaDh4R2Cl2/view?usp=drive_link

I will be updating this file as I go, so the link should stay the same and the file should show updated progess as it happens.

I would like to say this version 1 will be done by EOM, but then things come up personally and I am also working on other projects…Raiders extended, ESB etc…so I hate to give a release date. Instead, I will say that I am shooting for end of Q1 of this year and before May the 4th of this year, – more of a realistic range.

The process to finish version 1 is below:
1. Finish all V1 noted changes
2. Move all footage and changes to single timeline
3. Work on audio adjustment for final V1 5.1 track
4. Finish and Adywan upscaled FX I do not have done composited into the master (if adywan has not released by this point)
5. release

Lindsay70 said:

V1.6 is the latest. Was hoping v2.0 (the final version) would be farther along and ready for year end, but due to things getting busy I am behind.

@Darth Sadifous

Letting you know that I started another verison of this with German subtitles. but have competing projects. I have the subtitles for intro scene were german and important to understand what is said. Trying to get Raiders extended done by EOY first and then may squeeze this one in as as an updated intro (Full movie re-cut with this and and other changes would be later)

ccateni said:

ccanteni…will send you a PM tomorrow

benduwan said:

Is v2 done?
So i like a link too please.
Thanks

Still shooting for EOY for that …i hope to give next update mid-november

Would love to get a copy of this well loved classic! Can someone PM me the link to it please? With much aloha!

PM sent

Darth Sadifous said:

Any progress on a potential edit integrating your opening into Dial of Destiny? I’d love to have that edit in my collection at some point with the German subtitles if possible.

Have not went back to this one yet. My initial thought is that I wish they did not have so much main dialogue in german in that if you only understand English, you could follow along without it as no other indy film has subtitles unless I am mistaken (Young Indy series not included). I did want to change with AI voice clone the few lines from the German officer when he realizes BAZ is american or can speak american (before in the next scene all dialogue goes over to english. As that would make more sense of why transitioned over.

I get there is all the dialogue in the castle that is german that for English speaking would be nice if they just had it like raiders where everyone was english. I get it that at that time it all be german, but we did not have that in the other films…can problably go either way

…anyway have not had time to get back to it yet. My personal copy is together as one film. I was going to give it a watch and see what else needed changing before diving back in

can’t wait for this, but what is the Yoda and dark Luke scenes here all about?

“Added Yoda scenes (youtube)”

Update:

The latest file (with audio) stops at 1:33:12. It won’t play any further. I’ve tried converting to mkv and re-encoding but neither of those things helped.

Edit: When converting to mkv with mkvmerge there were some very unusual errors or warnings.

replying to this older post. file has had the audio issue corrected as well as a few cut tweaks

My Markdown is also ! [ ] ( ). Between parens the image URL minus the spaces.

Thanks for your reply

I updated my post with

“Note this actually will work as a replacement for those wanting embedded image that live on GDrive”

as I did figure a workaround…but was a real pain due to their change…not sure what benefit it had

Jedi Matt said:

Thank you for the update. I am very much looking forward to this, however long it takes for you to get it done to your satisfaction.

V1.5 is done…PM me for anyone out there that wants the update link…Like I said it might be a bit on the final V2 (EOY) as I need to get back onto ESB-X, but I did get this one updated. Here is updated shot list for raiders

All off a sudden a few months back my images in post stopped working. Not really seeing why. Is there some issue with the site or is their a changed format I need to embeed images from google drive here?

Below used to work for me to embed the image that is the link below, but no longer does

Replying to my own tread in case someone is reading this…
So I guess google recently change it so that UC? is no longer supported and to get the normal size embedd use “thumbnail” instead

Note this actually will work as a replacement for those wanting embedded image that live on GDrive

![p](https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1TwjoVJlZpSJRoW7-bGmTJOZdOPrPg8eL&sz=w1111

followed by “)” at the end

Note the addition of "&sz=w1111 (1111 pixel width size) at the end, so that it is big enough to see. Be nice if they announced the change…need to go to all my post and update now. Images work now…

I´ve been trying to fix one deleted scene from a movie and I didn´t find a way to get rid of this grey/blue halo/glow around characters. It follows character movements as well like a ghosting artifact. I tried a lot of DeHalo filters but didn´t work. I attach two screenshots with the issue marked.

https://imgur.com/a/jY8SfpS

Cheers¡¡

Hate to say this, but you will probably have to recomposite that such that the character is rotoscope out on a separate layer…fix the background with masking/curve adjustments and then overlay the character on top of a fixed background. It looks like a bad green screen composite where the shot was brighter than the background placed in (light bouncing off their clothes)

remove this post if not the correct place, but All off a sudden a few months back my images in post stopped working. Not really seeing why. Is there some issue with the site? or is their a changed format I need to embeed images from google drive here?

This used to work for me but does not
