But we see the rebels using a colourful hologram as a centre piece in Return of the Jedi, so i think it fits in with the OT asthetic
Can’t argue with that!
Visual comparisons of most of the altered shots seen in the January preview
This looks so good, can’t wait!
Really minor gripe with the added holo display of the Death Star orbit. It’s well done for sure, but unlike the interactive tactical panels added to Echo Base that blend in seamlessly, the colored 3d holo as a centerpiece here feels detached from the OT aesthetic somehow (plus the original is such a cool design).

Maybe later this year I’ll take another look at the project, see if any new ideas come to mind after sitting on a finished release for almost a year.
Are there any planned changes for the near future or is the current version definitive for the long run?
Hey, I’d like to check this out, please!
This is an Adywan appreciantion post. You’re great and you should be told that more.
I’d like to second that. I still can’t believe my senses when I put Revisited on. Exceptional work and a thing of beauty.
Got it. Thanks!
Nicely done!
Speaking of D+, I’m not seeing a DTS encode for the D+80 synced ESB Mix on the GDrive folder. There should be one, according to the readme, right?
Having never seen the show or its other edits before, I just watched this and liked it a lot!
I had only read bad things about the show, but if that’s the case then you did a great job with the source material. It feels like a movie and the pace is just right. Proficiently put together as well.
I did think the audio was a bit muffled, specially at the beginning, and the image is quite soft (I watched the ~7GB upscaled file).
Other than some nitpicking, my main gripes with the cut itself would be:
What do you think?
Thanks again for sharing and the work you put into it.
Sure thing. I’ll just check for any potential tweaks and then send them your way.
I’ve made custom subs for “LoE Padmé Lives” in Brazilian Portuguese. I also use them .sup’d and muxed, but mimicking Project Threepio styling. Could you share a screenshot of those PGS in action?
Nice work there. Although I don’t think the reduced lightning makes things better, it’s a good proof of concept. I’d chime in more creatively if I knew my way around VFX, but I’m afraid I can just opinionate on how it looks.
I’ve always wondered this myself, for precisely the same reasoning as yours. Hopefully this can be achieved in the near future and incorporated by editors who concur with the idea.
any ideas on what’s different?
The door. Nice one.
Hey, Bobson, how is this coming along?
Hal, thanks a bunch for doing the other smaller 1080p encodes. You are the Saint of Generous Deeds and Miraculous Edits!
Eh… the 720p size is more appropriate for the PT edits due to a fair amount of DVD footage used. However, I could go ahead and encode the same smaller 1080p form factor if it’s wanted.
Yes, please!
That’s because I didn’t redo ANH when I did the others because I’m still planning a revision for it. It could easily be a good while yet before its ready, though.
How about the Smaller 1080p encodes, are they coming for the Prequel Trilogy as well? The quality/size ratio is perfect, so it would be neat.
Looking great. Nice touch restoring the bacta tank to its originally intended color.
I’m really glad to see all this footage (the Medbay especially) looking this good. I always felt we could spend some more time chillin’ at Echo Base before it’s blown to smithereens.
Some of it is cool, but I wouldn’t use stuff like the new Wampa or the citizens of Cloud City. It would be the new approach to CC, extended Lando opening the Falcon hatch, and maybe the clip before Han and Leia talk, with the speeders flying around. I’d have to look around.
Personally I’m in favor of keeping the Cloud City establishing shots to theatrical, just so it doesn’t look too slick or modern in contrast to the grindhouse flair. As for the SE Wampa I actually have no gripe with it being on its original cave scene and I think it would make sense for it to be featured in an expanded edition, given it’s live action footage and not just a CG addition. I wouldn’t bother stitching it into the “ice creatures attack” footage, though. Clunky as that one is, I figure the blaster fire VFX and soundscape would be enough to salvage it (I hope, at least).
I think this is the final version of the colourised Han/Leia kiss. Or at least I’m sick of looking at it.
Most impressive.
A bit of fun, here’s what the first frame looked like with only my paint on it.
Couldn’t help to imagine this in motion to the sound of ‘Take on Me’ by A-ha.
Can we get the whole movie looking like this, please? 😃
I’ve started using the standard Renegade Grindhouse and it’s a pretty good fit for the dallies and deleted scenes.
Wow! Absolutely seamless. It feels like a “lost cut” of sorts now. Can’t wait to see this!
IIRC, Fuji’s cleaner and Poita’s (German) have better colors. But since they’re sources for 4k80, I’d lean into Renegade Grindhouse and its offsprings, GRM’s and Dreamastered
JEDIT: I read about the 16mm Dupe Zemastered and it might be a better match, though I haven’t seen it myself. It looks very akin to Puggo’s, which afaik is only on standard def.
So that the final effect is not so jarring, might be good to use some version of 4K80 as the base print once that’s released
Idk, 4k80 is supposed to be a pristine presentation so these would always stick out, much like the Darklighter Cut which used the SSE. Now a grindhouse feature is probably not the projects’ aim, but I think it’d be the ideal way to present this footage. I’m looking forward to see this in any way, though.
Looking good. It would be interesting to see this as an extended grindhouse, seeing how rough is some of the footage. It’d make up for a very charming experience.
