The ESB.

We have a winner.

Nah, I still prefer either ESB or Empire.

I don’t think I’ve seen it called TESB in a good part of a decade

The reason This thread came to mind was because someone called it that in a thread I was following.

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Okay.

👍

What do you like to call it?

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
A New Hope (1977)
The Return of Jedi (1983)
Revenge of the sith (2005)
The phantom menace (1999)
Attack of clones (2003)
Sequel trilogy (2010s)

I have ESB:R if you want it.

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Does that mean you’re restarting the whole project?

Yes, I will be restarting the whole project.
But for a good cause.

I agree. SkyMaster is exactly how I picture an official BD of the movie along with the DeEd.

Agreed.

HUGE NEWS!
I’ve just finished downloading skydude’s 4K77 DNR and it looks WAAAAAAAY better than 4K77.
the quality of Gout restored will now be on a new level. So this is going to be the main theatrical source now. No more 4K77 DNR.

looks good.

Work has started on the Alderaan explosion,
also does anyone have high-res asteroid footage/pics?

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

It. Looks. Beautiful! I honestly really like it! The color correction over the clip also looks great. Why did it go black for 8 seconds at the end, though?

I wanted to cut it there but couldnt stand cutting the beautiful music.

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Oh, sorry. I didn’t read the last part of the sentence.

Thats okay.

Very nice, tackling the biggest one first that no one has been able to get just right. The aura around it works so well, with just the radiance you’d expect from that kind of phenomena.

Indeed.

So folks, here are the requests being done:
.Imperial march in Vader’s reveal.
.Re-colored Artoo panels in space.
.New alderaan explosion, No ring.
.SE mos eisly matte but with no rats.
.Enhanced death star battle.
.And Luke with purple hair.
In fact here’s a test: https://mega.nz/file/rFpWCAiI#N7MyYTQS5SQQ9y7ntjU5bBlmz8QKRcEiDowLjWuCEUE

Alright, change of plans, ROTJ will be based on the 2019 master, but ESB will now be based on the 2011 blu-ray.

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

See you in 2 weeks!

I will still be on the forum daily, I just won’t be editing.

Hal 9000 said:

I did that as well, since alternate audio tracks are relatively easy.

I would caution against using Adywan’s old 1997 SE reconstruction. It was sourced from 2004-era HDTV and encoded relatively small by today’s standards. It’d be a lo-fi source to build on. If you’re able to adjust the 2011 BluRay I think you’ll find a much better end result. I have a bucket of LUTs that were provided to me for 2011 ESB if they’d be helpful. I’ll PM you about them.

I’ll try to make my own correction.

Take all the time you need.

Thanks.

Hey Folks, Taking a break for about 2 weeks or so, And by break I mean a break from editing, not this forum or these threads.

Could you add better laser blasts like your ANH Devastator Edition.

yes.

Hal 9000 said:

I’m interested in why you seem to prefer the 2011 BluRays as a source over the 19SE. They have their pros and cons, and the former has a long history of being reviled.

Perhaps even though the unmodified 19SE is more palatable than the 2011, modified versions of each could shake that up?

In the case of ROTJ, I found the 19SE and 4K83 to cohere pretty well, far moreso than the 2011.

well, It’s because they have the least DNR, Not that they don’t have it mind you.
Also, It’s much easier to color grade. But some scenes that lack detail or are out of focus, I will replace those with the 19SE source, color-matched of course.

Hello, Star Wars fans!
This edit is still in the brainstorming phase, I will begin this edit after I finish my ANH and ESB edits.
