Agreed

Exciting news: “Lucasfilm and ILM have hired Shamook, a YouTuber who specializes in deepfaking Star Wars and other big-budget movies, showing up their CGI” (The Verge). This seems very promising for future appearances of Luke in Star Wars TV series.

It’s a pity you couldn’t make his eyes fully red

That was just a simple mistake. I couldn’t remember if his eyes were fully red or just the pupils. I’ll fix that when I get the chance, thanks for the reminder 🙂

I could not agree more. From what I’ve seen his on screen acting is also solid. I’m sorry the picture isn’t showing up for you. Here, see if this link works: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pyBPfseZbpyAjpcZ8

Sorry if this is a little late, but I love that this is being commemorated. Here’s my contribution:

We may be seeing Thrawn in an upcoming series so I’ve done a little bit of fan-casting here. For those who don’t know, this is Lars Mikkelsen, the voice actor for Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels. I certainly couldn’t imagine any other voice for Thrawn so Lars gets my vote. I only made changes that would be possible with practical makeup so as to be accurate. I didn’t remove his beard because any attempts I made made him look plasticky, but I think that he would look incredible for thrawn sans-beard. I think he is perfect for the role. He fits the Star Wars casting bill as being not too recognizable too; there aren’t really any characters that people have him associated with so they would only see him as Thrawn.

This is genuinely incredible.

Precisely. Same thing happened with Tarkin and Leia, although I think Tarkin was the best of the three. It was highly noticable to me how minimal and stiff Luke’s motions were, like he was glued in place.

Yeah the wig was a bit poofy but I still think the deepfake looked better. Definitely the right choice to use their own actor for the deepfake. The way ILM pasted their 3D model onto their actor made the motions too creamy and unnatural, so if Corridor used it as their source the motions in the deepfake would retain that unnatural quality.

Thanks for sharing this, Corridor is an awesome vfx channel. I also stumbled upon this awesome meme:

In my honest opinion TPM and ATOC are both deeply flawed movies for two different reasons. TPM for providing a rather insensitive Jamaican stereotype race of aliens and AOTC for the obvious stilted romantic subplot.

Could one capture grain from other the other grainy sources and lay it on top?

I’ve been wondering this myself. I know that it is possible to, when scanning a print, get the camera to only pick up dust, dirt, hairs, and scratches. I have absolutely zero knowledge as to how scanning works, but poita explained in this post:

Okay, there are a pair of TIFF files on the share that have the IR damage matte in the alpha channel if you’d like to take a look.

Anyone who wants to know what an Infr Red damage matte looks like…

The top image is what the film frame looks like under infra red light, the film is completely transparent to infra red, so the only thing the camera picks up is any dust, dirt, hairs or damage on the film.
The bottom image is the film frame the IR matte is taken from.

I am not sure if the grain could be picked up like this because it is so small and packed together, but having an extremely authentic layer of grain would, while mostly unnoticeable, be such a cool detail to make this feel even more polished.

I don’t know why but the sky in that sandcrawler shot is particularly nice to look at.

Here’s what I mean but easier to understand:

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

The Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

Clone wars season 1 - s7 e9

Revenge of the Sith

Solo

Rebels

Rogue One

Return of the Jedi

The Mandalorian

(Sequel trilogy optional)

I like having the twist in ESB where we learn that Darth Vader is Luke’s Father, then learning about how Luke’s Father became Darth Vader, and learning about all that lead up to the final climactic episode 6, adding more weight to it’s outcome. The Mandalorian acts as a nice way for the story to move forward after Jedi.

Forgot to add that, similar to how you (ThisisCreation) have it, I have the last 3 episodes of CW S7 after revenge of the Sith because it’s really interesting to see as a parallel story line. The last episode also ends after Revenge of the Sith.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing 😃! Originals are my favs. Very interesting watching order as well. I definitely agree about originals being first, then the prequels and Clone Wars. What I usually do instead of a rewatch of the originals is watch 4, 5, then all prequel content, and then finish with 6 to wrap it up. Then the Mandalorian, of course.

Has he seen the original trilogy???

From ‘Jedi of the Republic: Mace Windu #1.’

Rebels Yoda looks positively sexy by comparison.

IDK this one’s pretty sexy too…

Thanks for the response! That makes sense 😃

This is so cool! I’ve had this question for a while and I was hoping someone could answer me: It seems like any time star wars is found on 35mm it is pretty beat up and the colors are very wrong. How do you know when color grading that your colors are accurate?

Thanks!

If you are looking to catch up on clone wars but don’t care to spend as much time watching all the episodes (including filler) I can point you here: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Clone-Wars-2008-Episode-Guide/id/77657

has anyone download the mandalorian gallery and like to share?

disneyplus.com

nope. no download possible.
i have d+ but can´t download it on my pc so thats why i ask.
can download it on my handy,but i like it on my pc to work with this.

I don’t think he’s planning on bootlegging this. Just using it for fanedits and the like. You need a screen recorder that can somehow get past Disney+'s copyright encoding which sounds kinda illegal but I don’t see any other way.

Yep that’s my favorite way to watch the Mandalorian. Either that or Disney+

Yeah sorry for the overreaction

I totally understand that. If you don’t mind going to the work of mounting an ISO, this one might be simpler: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/NJVC-Custom-Blu-ray-Set-of-Harmys-Despecialized-Editions-now-available-on-Mega/id/57042/page/1
