I was thinking this after watching the GOUT, but I mean it in general - there is a streamlined feel to RotJ, where SW and ESB both pushed different palettes depending on location.
Just figured I check if this is just me. I find Return of the Jedi to be the least visually appealing SW movie. Tatooine should seem bleaker, Jabba’s Palace darker and more hazy. For being in a forest, Endor just FEELS fake - almost no non - Ewok activity, wind, rain et. Was thinking this would look better with greens boosted and temperature made warmer. Dagobah could be a little bleaker with more fog.
When you have finished the script, please share. I’d like to test it on the first few episodes of Avatar, The Last Airbender.
Very exciting news. I’ve sent you a private message, JK1974. (The little speech/thought bubbles in the top right hand corner)
Is it Junish yet? 😄
Monstrous Ewok Chieftains, fully grown to resemble a Grizzly in Ewok garb, with a slightly flattened face. Teeth bared in a perpetual snarl, voice a lions roar, slightly alternating in pitch. For every cheesy Ewok attack shot, film an extra shot of a Chief roaring out the order.
Though I guess that’s less repurposing and going to require additional costumes.
Either that or do the lower bitrate with a 704x480 resolution vs 720x480 standard.
I have three nightmares.
Period.
I’m onboard with the ethical retreat. The informant seems nervous, but he and Cassian appear to be friends with the more casual way they speak to each other. He’s an honorable person and I think he should be portrayed that way all the way through.
I like the way that you handle the jail scene, but instead of asking if he’s the pilot, I’d keep the scene the same as the original and just jump to having Cassian ask “Galen Erso. You know that name?” That way, Bodhi still sounds slightly out of it as he says “I brought the message. I’m the pilot, I’m the pilot”, but you skip the mumbling.
Any updates on an ANH crawl version?
Perhaps it’s just me, but your crawl wording is great with one exception. I would suggest “Imperial” be added before Director Krennic.
What I’ve found strange is that I really like the look of ANH and ESB in this set, but don’t think the RotJ looks as good as the other two - It looks good, just not as much of an improvement.
I especially found that strange because of the general concensus of ANH/ESB in NTSC, RotJ in PAL.
I like that a lot better.
That looks great!
JawsTDS just released an awesome PAL Gout based upscale trilogy and it is definitely worth the watch - gives a nice 90s home video feel in HD. Perfect for anyone needing to watch the theatrical ESB before ESB:R drops.
Way to kick a man when he’s down. Geez.
I get more the feeling that the next update IS the release.
These all look great.
The only thing I see in my full walkthroughs that might need a fix is the chroma for the crawl in Empire looks like it needs to be shifted to the right.
We should know any day now. Or hour. Or minute.
Grabbing TESB right now.
I’ll keep seeding Star Wars if you want to stop seeding and focus on seeding Empire.
Definitely got that nostalgia feel 😄
My only small suggestion/request is that perhaps you could reinsert the Ep 4, ANH crawl. The XO project scan should provide an awesome starting point, though I think that’s NTSC sourced so you may want to look into a PAL laserdisc rip. Or not - this looks great and is an awesome GOUT project. Otherwise, perhaps I could get a lossless copy from you to assemble it for myself without re-encoding?
What were your encode settings for this, btw?
Very much looking forward to ESB and RotJ
Obviously not completely done dling, but the beginning looks amazing!
I’ll hold you to that 😛
I keep checking back every few hours to see if this or ESB:R have been released 😜
I’m just disappointed that we’re not getting to see Luke doing the Wampa mating dance, a la “Fantastic Beasts”.
