ANH GOUT Reconstruction (WORK HAS BEGUN FOR GOOD)
Time

Maybe I’m getting my colors mixed up, it could’ve been grey. I know that there was some sort of weird tent. Regardless, I’m glad you’re making this project.

Actually, The GOUT is quite different in color than the theatrical versions, Which did have a strong teal tint.

This is how R2D2’s flashes will look like:

Gorgeous!

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Mr.9000 is correct, those flashes are amazing! They’re even better than Adywan’s! I love how it goes from red to purple to blue, it just blends amazingly!

Thanks.

ANH GOUT Reconstruction (WORK HAS BEGUN FOR GOOD)
Time

Grand Master_ Luke Flywalker said:

Yes, I agree. It looks fantastic. However, this is supposed to be a reconstruction of the GOUT, which is the 1977 cut of the film, and I remember that version of the film having a sort of blue tint/shadow over the film. I’m actually glad you removed that, as that looked horrible.

That was actually added for the blu-ray

Oh I’d for sure not imagine it’d be doable. The only thing I’d think of for a source is when the heroes walk past a K2 droid in Rogue One on Scarif, clunking along robotically with no personality. Maybe the upcoming Cassian Andor series would have more footage to draw from.

But yeah, just an idea that doesn’t cost me anything to toss out.

Thats fine.

Of course, just spitting ideas.

The shot for K2 is when Luke, Han, and Chewie are waiting for the elevator. You can see a bug-head 3PO droid walking by.

Yeah, that one would be IMPOSSIBLE, First I would need to rotoscope Han, Chewie, Luke as a separate layer.
Then remove the original droid THEN add in a 3D animated droid. If you can get me a droid animation I will try to do it.

Also, Can I get some requests or ideas?

Well, I’d selfishly enjoy having a 19SE-sourced set of all relevant shots with R2’s blue-red light ‘fixed’ so others (me) could steal.

Vader’s lights would be the other thing in that category.

The other things that strike me, be they from Adywan’s work or in general are:

  • The lack of holograms in ANH. I like Adywan’s holographic display at the rebel base during the Death Star assault.

  • Fixing jump cuts during lightsaber ignitions. Something like Adywan’s recent clip, too, to adjust the color and bring a sense of greater consistency to Luke’s saber without erasing the character of the original effects. Sort of made it look about the same as the new Ben v Vader effects look relative to the original version of them.

  • Removing the added rats to Mos Eisley, and recreating that shot of traffic from the original but using the SE version of the backdrop.

  • Any non-ringed explosion for Alderaan would be great to field

  • Replace the black 3PO “Death Star Droid” with a K2-SO model instead

  • Replace the shot of the rebel fighters heading toward the Death Star, perhaps with something closer to the original version; the SE shot looks bad and the R2 droid’s panels stick out as incorrect.

  • R2 with blue panels in space, like ESB and ROTJ (SE)

  • Luke with purple hair just during the medal ceremony

the only thing that would be too hard to fix will be the death star droid because I barely know anything about 3D animation (Also can you specify the shot). The death star approach is plausible but probably will look kinda off.
also, Vader’s lights are two hard to pull off.

New Clip! and update…
as always this is still a very rough WIP.

Update about the future of this edit.
ESB’s main master will be Adywans 1997 SE reconstruction, as it shares the same color grade as ESB:R.
(changes will of course be reverted).
as for the return of the Jedi, I will be doing an all-new color grade, Adywan style.
