What’d be more interesting would be asking an AI to write a sequel to Rogue One, and seeing what story it’d come up with.
Not bad.
Too bad it doesn’t realize all the characters are dead.
I asked it that and it told me it would be a plot twist that they survived.
Instead of waving at the air the officer pulls a lever.
Beginning around 1:27:11, during the shot of 3PO looking at the Falcon, it seems that a starfield slowly starts creeping up into the bottom of the picture.
Thanks for letting me know.
I’m a bit late but…
“No Time to Discuss This As a Committee!”
“I’m not a committee!”

I asked ai to rewrite the ANH craw and it’s astounding:
Hello, could you write me a alternative version of the opening crawl from star wars (1977)
Of course! Here’s an alternative version of the opening crawl from Star Wars (1977):
“Amidst a galaxy consumed by war, an ancient evil stirs. For centuries, the Galactic Republic has maintained a fragile peace, but the rise of a ruthless Empire threatens to plunge the galaxy into darkness. The Rebel Alliance, a small but determined group of freedom fighters, has risen to challenge the Empire’s reign of terror. Led by Princess Leia Organa, the rebels have acquired plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, a moon-sized battle station with the power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races to deliver the plans to her rebel allies, who must then mount a desperate mission to strike a decisive blow against the Empire and restore hope to the galaxy.”
Excellent color correction!!! I love the look of that desert shot : )
thanks
alderan and death star the same explosion…? 😮
Huh? I’m pretty sure that the new Death Star explosion doesn’t use any elements from either of the Alderaan explosions. Unless you were suggesting using the new explosion for Alderaan too, in which case I heavily disagree.
Yup no elements from that composite are used here. 😏
Here it is without the camera shake.

By the way, the explosion effect is great! Sorry if I sound too critical, you’re doing some amazing work.
no that’s fine!
also is it a good idea to add yavin prime:

Where are you trying to make it look like they are?
Outside Palpatine’s office, it looks like.
I personally think it’s a bad idea. One of this edit’s goals is to make Sidious being Palpatine more of a surprise, it would be weird to add more connections between the two. And even in-universe, it would be dumb for Palpatine to invite his secret evil assassin to his very high-profile apartment.
fine, I’ll leave it out.

Hey, I looked through V1 and LOVED it. I’ll be using this as the main base of my private custom SE edit, it’s wonderful work 😃
Just a few technical notes for the upcoming V2:
the Greedo subtitle at 49:47 has the word “sign” misspelled to “sighn”
the shot of Luke running down the prisoner hallway at 1:13:27 is frozen on one frame
good catch.
Death star explosion final.
should I keep the camera shake or leave it out?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10AQ9f32QcPWHY4TyeDdHmMx8P_n3Gcvt/view?usp=sharingNo camera shake, please. No offense, but it feels sort of “amateurish”. Big explosions being accompanied by camera shaking has never really been a part of Star Wars’s visual language.
The’re very apparent in the prequels though.
Is this even worth the trouble:

The cc is working out better than expected.

Wip CC:
One suggestion if possible is maybe mask Darth Studious’s face (Spoiler Alert) to hide the fact that it’s Palpatine, that’s always annoyed me how no one worked it out lol.
Don’t worry this’ll be done.

Color correction is still a wip.

Assuming you don’t have any ideas I disagree strongly with, and would like to publish your efforts in this way, I’d be happy to take what you do and incorporate them into a future (“official”?) revision of CoD itself.
It’d be an honor.
Hello everyone.
The hal9000 trilogy are the definitive versions when it comes to the prequels, (story wise at least.)
and the effects hold up pretty well, except for one film… Episode 1.
Hal’s ProRes cloak of deception will be the main master, and i’ll build my effects on there.
It has always bothered me that the effects in phantom menace are so out of place in the prequels.
I want to have a definitive version of the trilogy to watch, but Episode 1 always sticks out like a sore thumb.
here are the main issues that I’ve noticed and how to fix them.
Lightsabers too dark/colorless. Fix: replace using dazman’s phantom edit.
too many stars in starfields . Fix: replace starfields (maybe)
Laser’s ugly dull colors. Fix: repaint all lasers. (maybe)
naboo’s scenery in some areas especially in the hangar bay shots look fake. Fix: replace with better environments.
deepfake/paste Darth maul’s face onto the CGI puppet seen falling down the tunnel thingy in the final battle.
replace added spark hits that look fake and bad.
Restore/Clean up films issues.
This edit won’t officially begin until DevEd v.2 is finished.

Can someone share with me the latest version of this? Thank you
in what way “latest version” ?
The 1080p version buddyboy.
I don’t know if this has been decided yet, but will there be any blu-ray artwork made for this edit?
I remember seeing a really cool one made for ESB:R, but i cant seem to find it.
Am I the only one who thought the replies sounded a bit sarcastic before actually watching the video? Like, I thought Ady added a ronto walking across the screen or something like that. 😉
But anyways, amazing work! You are truly a VFX god, Ady.
I also thought that at first, 😂
