Oh yeh, i promised a clip didn’t i? Well, here you go:

Personally, I think the lighting in the Falcon’s cockpit might be a little TOO blue. Maybe turn it down a bit by 10% or 15%.

I personally like the blue, remember it’s the only source of light here.

I did a comparison of the Revisited clip and the original, and I noticed in the first shot with Han and Leia that the monitor graphics on the top left was originally green, and I think the filter turned it blue. And now that I think about it, maybe the filter Adywan added is fine the way it is aside from that detail. It’s about the same amount of blue as it looked when Rey and Chewbacca were going through the hyperspace tunnel at the end of The Force Awakens.

100% agree

Maybe it’s just the gif, but the shot of Luke turning his head around while R2 gets shot looks like maybe a frame or two is off in the rotoscoping around Luke’s helmet. There’s like a shadow or a bump or something. Might be worth taking a look at?

Everything else looks great. I’ve been patiently waiting to rewatch the original trilogy for Revisited and Harmy Despecialized 3.0 lol

There doesn’t seem to be any issue:

is this the bump you’re talking about:

because that’s just due to the curvature of Luke’s helmet.

All gorgeous, though I question the need for the yellow oval flashes when blades clash. I assumed you’d be removing those, since that’s not how light works!

can people just stop trying to debunk fantasy elements from a FANTASY film? Star Wars is set in its own universe with its own laws, that’s how sci-fi/fantasy works.

BetaMedia said:

Btw, I am working on a fanedit which can be updated without any announcement when it’s released, but if I update Episode 4 (and probably do) and your edit is ready when that happens, can I use some footage of this edit for it?

sure.

There’s something that feels a bit odd about the new shot here, which I was only just able to put into words. The explosion appears stationary relative to the Death Star, which isn’t what would happen in a vacuum. In space, a body in motion would remain in motion, since there’s no air resistance to slow it down. This applies to the explosion just as much as the TIE fighter.

So in terms of realism, the first shot makes more sense, or at the very least doesn’t draw attention to the weird physics.

wookies also don’t exist.

Is anyone else seeing the pixelation?

edit: nvm it works now, guess it was just my setup.

I don’t mean to be mean but why exactly did you put “A News Corporation Company®” back? That News Corporation doesn’t exist anymore and it is owned by Disney. (sorry if I sound like being mean).

Because it’s sentimental to the original version and the space looked kinda empty without it.

OK. I kind of agree.

thanks.

A long overdue update…

Things are progressing really well with ANH:RHD. There’s only about 40 shots left to do. It may sound like a lot of shots but it’s not. Most of the film is complete. The remaining shots are mainly the CG work for the Yavin battle with a few shots here and there in other places. It’s looking very likely that it’s going to be a 2024 release now, hopefully mid year. The one thing that could hold things up is shooting the replacement Sandtroopers. I was hoping to get the shots i need filmed this year but we have had such a shite summer it became impossible. So that’s going to have to wait until next year when hopefully we’ll have some sunny days.

There may be a slightly extended section when the TIE’s appear during the Death Star battle, but it will be quite brief so there won’t be the problem with a long period of no dialogue like in the original ANH:R. The music will also be completely different during that part if i do it. The Imperial march WILL be present during the battle but not in the way it was in the Standard Def version. I’ve been doing some messing about and mixed a couple of tracks together so the music fits in with the style of the music heard during the battle. It works pretty well and, with a bit of tweaking, i think i can get it to work. So the chance of having that small extended battle really hinges on whether this new piece of music works or not.

There’s no way i can do any serious work on the video side of things for ROTJ:R until ANH:RHD is complete and released because ANH has almost filled up all of the new internal drives and most of the external ones i purchased because they are the backups. One 8tb external developed a fault that couldn’t be fixed but luckily i was able to replace that and recover all but one of the files that were on it. So once ANH is done and dusted i can start to empty the internal drives to continue work on ROTJ:R. So, at the moment, i have just enough space to complete ANH:R and render out the master file. Then it’s on to the audio mix.

But i will be starting to build the models etc for ROTJ:R early next year so i’ll keep you updated about those.

And now a few comparions…

I’ve replaced the temples in this shot to eliminate the fact that they use the same ones in the following shot, just from a slightly different angle, but it’s obvious its the same place. I’ve also removed the path that is visible in the original. I’ve also replaced the sky to match the sky in the shot that follows.

I’ve replaced the “dummy” Kenobi and Vader in this shot so it no longer seems like they are just standing there in the same position for ages in this scene. (Plus Vader is actually in a paused posture of having just struck down kenobi as this was actually a failed attempt of having the dummy sliced in half, being suspended on wires floating above the ground . You can see the dummy swinging)

I’ve replaced the X-wings in this shot to give a more natural movement because the right hand side one seems like it is sliding towards the camera instead of flying past.

It’s better than I imagined! great work Ady!, bravo.

Technically he should look like Vader, armor and all. That’s a hill I will die on.

he’s not Vader anymore, he’s back to being Anakin. the humanity that the emperor hid behind the mask has been revealed.

Yes, but every other character that dies and becomes a ghost, they look exactly as they did upon death. There’s no reason that ghost Anakin wouldn’t have scars, missing limbs, or even be out of his armor, aside from convenience.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I was replying to a guy who said he wanted Darth vader to die with his mask on.
Sebastian Shaw’s performance is incredible here.

Terrible news about the computer. I’ve had hard drives die and take out full projects in the past and it’s always a terrible feeling let alone losing the whole computer. Good luck with your projects in the future.

thanks for your support.

Hal 9000 said:

That’s awful, and I don’t even want to put myself in those shoes mentally. Sorry that had to happen to you, and I hope against hope you can get it back or at least detonate the remote self-destruct button on it.

Thanks for the kinds words.

Any thoughts on updating Shaw’s ghost appearance? Canonically, Anakin is supposed to be around 45 years old-ish, but has a full head of gray. Not that it would be essential, but what if his hair was a little longer or colored darker?

I do beleive from the many post that have come before on this thread he will be Sebastian Shaw unedited, whether anywan will do any wizardry to make him look younger I doubt. It does make sense to do so tho (seeing as he was 78 in ROTJ and Alec was only 69(nice)) as he looks older than Obi Wan which makes little sence regardless of which films you follow the cannon of.

That said I doubt Ady will as he has prently more than enough to be getting on with is both this and his ANHR:HD edits. Is a nice idea tho.

Adywan’s quote from last month: “Never going to happen. ROTJ:R will be a “Hayden Free” edition.”

I don’t know if this is where to post this… Mods feel free to move.

UPDATE: Editing halt
so in June my Mac studio which I do all my work on randomly short-circuited even though it was only like 2 years old. Thankfully due to Apple’s kindness, I was able to recover my stuff and put it on a newly bought replacement. But Mac Killer struck again a mere two months later. My Mac was in my luggage bag when I traveled to Orlando aswell as when I left. once I arrived at JFK and picked my bag up to go back home, I realized something; the dent the Mac Studio box makes when in my bag wasn’t there anymore and neither was the lock. I opened it up, and lo and behold it was gone. I immediately contacted the airline, followed by airport security, and finally a report to the police. they located my computer using Find My, but it’ll take at least a month before they can act on it for some reason. so yeah sorry for the big delay to my edits. hopefully editing and work in general can continue in December.

also thanks Samsonite for your crap locks!

BTW: I bought a new MacBook to use as my main machine temporarily. but by the looks of it, it might be more than temporary.

he’s deformed, his hair can’t grow back. he’s supposed to look old here.

This isn’t a matter of opinion. it either is or isn’t.
