I've had a lot of questions about why i felt the need to film new shots of the Hoth troopers fleeing the At-At's for the end of the Hoth battle, especially when the blu-ray is now out. Well i think this comparison explains everything:

The original shot is taken from a scanned cell of the original theatrical 35mm. What the hell have they done to the picture for the blu-ray? Its like one big smudged mess. There was no way i could use this shot.

   Nice pics of the shield. The original shot is better of the troopers,  remember the Blu-ray still has crushed blacks. Just saying nice pics  of the Hoth shield generator. 

Why has no one come here in the past 6 days?

All the sample images are taken from the latest version using the blu-ray as a source, so the fighters are grey. I decided to stick to my original plan and have the TIEs a uniform grey colour, the TIE bombers as blue and in ROTJ:R the TIE interceptors blue. 

   So ties are grey,the bombers and the interceptors blue. Very cool.

"Well i've almost finished transferring all the FX work to the new blu-ray sourced video. The difference in quality between the HDTV and the Blu-Ray is pretty noticeable. Some shots weren't as easy as just importing the new source video because of the slight differences in colour, grain structure etc. So these need a lot more work. But i've tweaked most of the shots in some small or large way."

Hey everyone see these 3 min. videos that i just found at YouTube that have the 2004 DVD and the blu-ray look very similar but the blu-ray is just a little better.You vote which one is better.

You can see Episodes IV-VI still have a little green/blue tin to it, but now Episodes I-III have green/blue tin to it,even though Episode III already had a tin to it and Episode I had a red tin and episode II had a blue tin. So now the star wars movies have the green/blue tin. 

GO to Moments.StarWars.com for pics. and videos from the star wars bul-ray.

The Originals dose look like the 04 dvd but with better coloring,even sink tones in most shots,better light sabers and better stars to.

Comments.

Hey Adywan, have you tried your hand at test color corrections on any of these Blu shots yet?

Obviously there's going to be compression artifacts, but I'm wondering if Vader's saber can go back to red without fudging up the rest of the picture.

Actually i was just doing a quick test. Now all i did here was adjust the hue for Magenta.

Now why couldn't Lucasfilm do something as simple as this?

 

I have also downloaded the HD version of the trailer and it does indeed look bad for the older docs as the reported problem does seem to exist in the two shots shown, while the rest of the trailer doesn't suffer with these problems. Well all apart from the shot of R2 and the wampa that definitely has some field problems

wow how long did that take you,the lightsaber is red yes.the pic's at the bottom looks bad

Hope they make the OT better for the 3d.But the bul-rays look good in color,but not the Lightsabers. So for the 3d hope they will fix the color even more and the lightsabers.

C'mon people, don't give in to lowered expectations! These are not good transfers. VADER'S LIGHTSABER IS FREAKING PURPLE!

True it dose look that color.

Yes it dose look a littel pink but I think the color is better than the dvd is most shots of the scenes.

adywan said:

Some new videos posted on the star wars youtube channel with footage for all 3 of the OT but the footage is in German. Got to say that the cyan tint looks to have gone from Hoth

EPISODE 4

EPISODE 5

EPISODE 6

The color dose look better.I wish they would have had the the Episode 4 a clip like 30 sec. longer so we can see if they fixed the lightsaber in that part.

I do think the OT is the 2004 dvd but in the new videos they look a little better the sink is not pink in the x-wing clip and the Death Star is not as blue. But Lukes sink is pink is the Carbon scene. For new,videos,and pic's go to http://www.starwars.com/movies/saga/ thanks for reading: )

The new official trailer is now up:

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/234525/star-wars-the-complete-sagaexclusive-trailer.html

so they went in and fixed the crossed lightsabres (and the Emperors slug by the looks of things)yet made Vaders sabre even more pink in ESB. The colours of ESB still look pretty screwed.

Well, I'll be damned:



Of course, now Vader's saber is a lovely shade of purple, but they did fix the "slugs" which is nice. Let's see if they fixed ALL of them, or only on the shot we were bitching about.

Here's what I managed to do last year by changing the brightness:



And here's what I got when I actually worked at it and bothered to replace the lightsabers:

 

I'll give the Bul-ray a 9 on the head slugs that are gone now,and a 6 on the Lightsabers.you nine on every thing in this shot.

Thanks for posting that Ady.

It looks lighter blue but it still looks blue, where as here it looks pinky orange (even in it's shadows) :

It dose look pink and light blue,and the shadows look pink and more brown,not gray

Well it looks like whatever was used to capture the image from the star wars site has given it a pink tint. Here is a better capture:

But the dark areas of the death star defiantly look like they have a brownish tint

and here is a comparison between the 1997 SE & blu-ray trailer versions of vaders sabre in ESB.

 

erghhhhhhhhhh.

looks a little bit more red then the Dvd but still pink.

I like the way you are color is better than the original and new Lightsabers     to some what mach the new one I-III. Sorry to hear about your mom and dad.
