After a trillion years, I finally finished the Alderaan Explosion sequence to a degree in which I find acceptable. The colors are a bit overexposed but at this point I’m too tired to keep on going (lol)

I adjusted the size of the explosions a bit to fit in more in-frame and fixed the little jitteriness at the start. If you may find it a bit lacking in quality, its WAY better in HD.

Aside from this one, I decided to make two changes:
1.) I have decided to not do the speeder shadow removal + replacement because my current skills in editing isnt good enough to do that sort of thing, plus I can barely run any 3D rendering program such as Blender on this computer.

2.) I removed the Jabba confrontation scene in the SE completely using an iris wipe transition carefully masked to hide the transition from ILM, I’ll be posting that soon along with others.

As of right now the edit is heading its way into completion, however if I were to make a hypothetical V2, It would mainly tackle on the speeder shadow replacement + fixing the jump-cuts using fantamorph.

Gorgeous!

Wow this edit looks very impressive so far! I can’t wait to see the finished product.

Also glad you’re introducing Vader with the Imperial March and updating the blaster bolts to match ESB:R and the prequels

👍

The ESB.

We have a winner.

Nah, I still prefer either ESB or Empire.

SparkySywer said:

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.

Hal 9000 said:

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.
