Are the French credits different?

Yes. They look like this :

All the characters have “french names” :

Luke Skywalker -> Luc Courleciel (hopefully in the movie he is called Luc Skywalker)

Han Solo -> Yan Solo

C3PO -> Z6P0

R2D2 -> D2R2

Chewbacca -> Chiktabba

Darth Vader -> Dark Vador

“qui pourrAnt sauver son peuple” ? Pourront m’enfin! Tu vas le réécrire 100 fois correctement!

“qui pourrAnt sauver son peuple” is what is writed in the original french crawl. It’s a big mistake, but it’s here.

I’m not sure if I want to correct the text. The original theater trilogy had the mistake.

Hehe, I kid, but apart from the grammar mistake, the font used for the lucas film title card isn’t quite correct and is too static and feels like video and not film. The same for “La guerre des étoiles” that pulls back in the stars. The pulling back just feels too smooth and video-ish. Perhaps someone who is more knowledgeful of these things can chime in and give advice.

I will write to the Germans who do the same for her version to know how they do the job.

Actually I only have Final Cut Pro. I see lot of people have done the crawl with After Effects, but I don’t have it.

The crawl is made with SWTSG : http://alienryderflex.com/crawl/ Si it doesn’t look exactly like the original french crawl.

I first made a picture of the Text with Photoshop :

And I try to make the crawl in Final Cut using the 3D Object Tool, but I didn’t succed to make something nice. So I use the SWTSG tool.

This is a full french version of Harmy’s STAR WARS - DESPECIALIZED EDITION REMASTERED. It is based on the v2.1 version.

File format : AVCHD folder, 720p/23.976fps

It include :

  • A full french intro with a redone crawl based on the 1977 french crawl

  • Full french ending credits redone based on the 1977 french ending credits

  • French subtitles on Greedo sequence based on a french 16mm reel.

It also include :

  • the original french stereo track from the GOUT

  • a 5.1 audio track based on the 2.0 GOUT track decoded in Dolby Surround + the LFE track from hairy_hen 70mm mix.

  • a 5.1 audio track based on the 2004 DVD release

  • a 2.0 audio track from the first Gold LD release

  • a 2.0 audio track from the THX LD release

  • a 2.0 audio track from the rip of the first french TV release

I want to thanks a lot for their work or help : Harmy, Laserschwert, ilovewaterslides and ,^…^,

The only sequence that is not full quality is Greedo sequence, because I take the sequence from Harmy’s release which was already compress, I modify it to add french subtitles and I recompress it using x264.

All the others sequences are not recompressed and or the same quality as Harmy’s DE Remastered release.

Later will come a Blu-ray version with menus, bonus and a full quality Greedo sequence. But don’t wait for it, it will certainly take a certain time.

So here it is, “La Guerre des Etoiles”.


Original first post :


Hi,

I’m french and for me “Star Wars” was always called “La Guerre des Etoiles”.

My project is use to Harmy’s despecialized edition in order to make HD version of the original french trilogy.

I want to make what is actually done here : <span style=“line-height: normal;”>Preserving “German” Original Trilogy</span> for the German version.

For ANH : A redone HD intro that looks like 1977’s intro that can be seen here :

Synchronize the sound of the GOUT with Harmy’s edition. The french audio is a PAL version, so the audio is playing a bit faster.

I started to redone all the screens in HD. Here is what I have actually done :

Lucasfilm screen :

A long time ago :

La Guerre des étoiles :

And here is the V1 of french intro in HD. For the 20th Century Fox screens, I use Harmy’s video.
