Is there a visual comparisons for ESB:R? There are so many changes that it’s almost hard to spot them all.

Ady said he was going to do one because he didn’t think anyone but him could do it. So I was leaving it to him!

Maybe we (“the community”) should start on one anyway. Wouldn’t want to slow his progress down on the other films!

Maybe I will, as is my custom.

I actually began making one a few years back, but I forgot about it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NdZFn1fHznevxQzK6

btw accidentally switched the clips in the second part to 400x zoom. sorry.

Some time ago Sky Dude did a 4K77 remaster, removing the grain without color correction, but because of the DNR he added, several details were lost. Will your project be more careful?

yes. he went overboard with the DNR. I’m not really gonna use that much, just to take the edge off. the correction really hides most of the grain.

Will the color correction be similar to Adywan’s work, giving the film a more modern look without sticking to the look of a Technicolor film?

It’s not modern per se, just neutral. technicolor-ish tone will remain though.

Ryan Golden’s read of Vader saying “Your mother once thought as you do”.

Make sure to credit him for any usage, and do not use his lines to train AI.

it’s perfect!!! cant wait for it to be edited into the full aduio.

Would it work better if they fired instead of just idly chasing them? Staying on the first shot of them aiming might work. As for the forcefields, I can add those to the adjacent shots.

Inspired by JeromeTheEditor, I thought I’d give this a shot too.
Here is my version of the speed force run removed. Pretty simple edit, I removed Qui-Gon moving to a defensive position after Obi-Wan sees the destroyers, so it appears they are fleeing all along. And Obi-Wan moves to the right, so I mirrored the shot of them going into the ventilation shaft so that it is also to the right.

OMG that’s perfect. only thing that’ll make it better is to change the end of the hallway to match the other end of the hall, which i can try to do. thanks for this!!!

hey all, just discovered these and I’m looking for a link? Sounds awesome

Pm Me.

G&G-Fan said:

I have.

great.

G&G-Fan said:

Probably should’ve said this earlier. Ryan Golden’s willing to do the new Vader line.

I just need to save the money to pay him to do it (I’m also having him do some others that I want for my edits; it’s more convenient to do multiple at once).

You might as well ask him to dub over the entire line.
“Your mother once thought as you do,” not just the “your mother” part; I believe that would flow way better.

Does anyone have v2.2 or v2.1 of this tool that they’d be willing to share with me? I messaged DrDre a month ago, but I don’t think he logs in much these days. I’ve been using v1.2 for about a year now and it’s such a great tool.

V1.2 is the current version that is available. I don’t know where you would get older ones (v2.2 or 2.1)…

Why does it say that v1.3 is released? Seems a little bit misleading?

Really excited for this.

Your mother once thought as you do-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNRSAZsjaYI

That’s actually the same clip that I posted here earlier this year.

Hal and I have completed a version of it that is 99% seamless:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DwmceJ0DiMyqbkGC-sEHo_rfelpqBzZV/view?usp=drive_link

It will be fully seamless if we can get somebody to replicate the voice filter of Vader in ROTJ.

Thank jjb, I’m excited to see how seamless it can get…
The only other thing is I wonder how Adywan’s will sound when he does it.

Don’t you mean, IF he does it? Has he confirmed if he actually WILL replace “Obi-Wan” with “Your mother”?

yeah, I’m pretty sure he has. He also mentioned that he has his own Vader voice actor to do it.

preview coming soon:

Anyway to make the screen a bit more hi-res?

It’s a gif, so it’s very compressed. end result is more clear.

Ronster said:

Is version 2 Ready / out?

I am interested in yout take.

Still waiting on that computer, once I can purchase it. (hopefully by the end of the year).
I’ll begin work on V.2

I think it’s virtually flawless in my air pods. I can kinda hear what you’re talking about with the right ear but it might be placebo.

hmm, maybe it’s just me. but it sounds just a tad too loud, and perhaps not as Robotic as the original. not in tone or delivery but in audio.

Here’s something new from JJB. What do you guys think?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DwmceJ0DiMyqbkGC-sEHo_rfelpqBzZV/view?usp=drive_link

it sounds almost perfect. it does sound as if it was mixed more towards the right channel though.

Actually before we start anything Hal, if your’e there do you want the force speed removed?

TheDimitrios said:

Or maybe easier: A reflected shot hits the ceiling, smoke comes down, the Droids keep shooting, when the smoke clears the jedi are gone.

hmmm, that could work. Lemme try that.

TheDimitrios said:

Has anyone ever tried to slow them down or add a smoke cloud that covers their disappearance or something?

But how would that work though? couldn’t the Droidekas shoot them down as they hastily ran down the hallway?

I have an idea that could work. While deflecting the laser blasts, either Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon deflects a shot that hits something large on the ceiling—it doesn’t matter what it is. When it falls, it provides cover, allowing them to make their escape while still being shielded. The droidekas could then shoot at the fallen object, breaking it apart like they did with the door. Afterward, we can continue the scene with them running down the hall, and we can just say they got a head start.

That addition was so stupid. It felt like the writers were stuck and couldn’t find a way to have them escape, so George just said, F**K it, make them run as fast as the Flash. This completely breaks the logic of every lightsaber battle in Star Wars history—if they could do this, all those duels could have been avoided. It makes me want to cut it out entirely. The only problem is figuring out how to make that work.

Here’s an example of color correction:

Original COD:

Corrected:

Frame by frame correction required to removing that awful green cast.
The green color couldn’t just be desaturated (removed) as it would leave a grey blob, so the original color of the explosion had to be restored.

Full clip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xEUY5mIuakq5KBNRgeimNqaOCrFKw-Jb/view?usp=sharing (the GIF really desaturates it).

Video coming soon, stay tuned.
