To fit with the Star Wars naming scheme, I think they should have gone with “The Last OF THE Jedi”.

Beyond that, I’m meh.

I think I’d like that more, they could even drop the first ‘the’

“Last of the Jedi”

But I suppose that’s too similar to “Return of the Jedi.”

I do dig the red logo, though.

I’m liking the Red Logo as well.

I think the placement of “the” is what’s bugging me

The - Last - Jedi is most similar to The - Phantom - Menace
Last - of - the - Jedi would be too similar to RotJ, and recalls Attack of the Clones.
Neither of these should be the films most brought to mind when reading the new title.

However, with the exception of Episode One, (and ANH, which doesn’t contain “the”), the titles tend to refer to topics without descriptors, ie:

Attack of THE CLONES
Revenge of THE SITH
THE EMPIRE Strikes Back
Return of THE JEDI
THE FORCE Awakens

I felt something similar with the crawl in The Force Awakens.
Every other crawl was very formal, giving the impression of galactic importance and typically referring to characters by their whole names. TFA broke with that, referring personally to “Luke” and “Leia” repeatedly. This gave the story more of a shared family memory feel, as opposed to an important chapter in a history book.

… Hopefully that makes sense.

They can say all they’d like. I wish Ady was less modest and would let us donate for a top of the line laptop rather than one that just meets his needs.

Honestly, I don’t know his living situation, but if he has any space for it, I think it would be best if we all just pitched in for a work shed where he can build and film.

I really liked the fix of Adywan matching up the Death Star plans to Episode II. Since Star Wars Revisited is my definitive Episode IV, I hope one day someone somewhere decides do a little tweak to the Death Star plans of Rogue One so that the movies match up senselessly.

Lol Just made my Christmas 😜

I now just really want to see Ady combine TPM/AotC into a single Episode 1, Fix RotS into a less revealing Episode 2, and streamline Rogue One just a bit (add crawl, remove background fanservice) into a perfect gritty Episode 3. Knowing I could finally watch a Star Wars marathon without cringing would be amazing 😄

Info: The Ultimate Super Resolution Technique
Time

One of the things I’ve noticed about about any type of noise reduction or temporal super resolution is a slight (or occasionally intense) flattening of the image. I was curious, is there a way to generate a depth map from the original video, upscale the map and reapply it after all filtering and upscaling has taken place? More than anything, depth is the one feature that I’ve found Super Resolution techniques to be lacking in. This doesn’t apply to the stacking concept really, since it is single frame temporal.

Star Wars saga - Extra Extended Edition (1080p) (* unfinished project / WIP *)

Actually, what about combining the methods? Using automated color tools to add color information into the picture, then using color match to adjust those colors?

Perhaps someone familiar with Matlab could help with this? Looks like it could be pretty amazing for establishing a base image to match from. http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~yweiss/Colorization/
