Your next look at the grading for ROTJ:R. This scene needed a little more work that the rest because , for some strange reason, the grader over-brightened the image in places to to the point where it almost bleached out parts the picture. But , again, This is just the first stage of grading. I won’t be doing the shot for shot grade to fix any problems until this first pass is completed.

Love the blue-ness to the haze on Dagobah at the end there

All this to say I think it’s fallacious to take the blu-ray deleted scenes totally at face value, as in many cases they seem to have been taken from random post-production sources (sometimes not even for the scenes taken from out and out dailies) and cut in a way to actively discourage attempted fanedits. That does not accurately represent the scene in the scoring/preview cuts, I’m sure, but a much earlier stage in editing.

Different film, may not apply here, etc - but I do like the theory that, at least with ROTJ, the material on the Blu-rays is actually the footage that didn’t make it into any rough cut. Thus, when one of the Lost Rebels has a cut in their footage, that’s because they took out that particular line and put it into a rough cut.

I still love the YT-2000 from X-Wing: Alliance

It might take another 20 or 30 years like SW77, but eventually we’ll know more.

Maybe. I don’t expect the level open-ness from Disney ever the way we eventually got with LFL & Rinzler.

I don’t think I have anything helpful to add, but my old thread may be of interest: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-Wanted-Star-Wars-The-Temp-Track-/id/12014

Have you ever thought of starting a Revisited Trilogy Discord server?

So that he has to deal with a rapid-paced chat instead of slower message threads? Do you want him to finish the project ever??

wait i am confused
lucas film will make a mandalorian season 4 and also a movie and the movie will be 2h season finale of season 4 ? its that right ?

From the leaks, that is what it seems, but nothing confirmed…

Off topic, but it’s amazing that no one around here started calling leaks “lekus” at some point

Isn’t there a DCP of Back to the Future?

What did give me a double take was Kirk’s father was first officer on the Kelvin? What that was in the JJverse not Prime, in canon he was supposed to be first officer under April on the first Starship Enterprise and i don’t mean the NX-01.

You have to remember, of course, that the JJVerse timeline was identical to the Prime timeline up to the point of the Romulans arriving. So in both timelines he was on the Kelvin, it’s just that in the Prime they made it back to Earth before Jim was born and George went on to serve elsewhere.

I’ll be curious to see if there’s a v2 after Andor Season 2

I’ve decided to release two versions of AOTC, exactly the same except one will include the flashback scene from Obi-Wan Kenobi and the other will not. I’ve thought a lot about this, and I personally feel like having the scene is like slotting in a missing piece of the script, something that always should’ve been there. However, I can’t ignore that no matter how much tinkering I do, it will never feel like it’s completely a part of this film, as it was filmed 20+ years later than the rest of it. Some may be more bothered by it’s inclusion than others, and I’ve made a lot of changes beyond that that people may be interested in. So it’s going to be available with the scene (my preferred version, and the one I’ll personally watch) and without it.

Have you done much in making it look worse, so it fits the rest of the film better?

The problem is mostly that the cinematography styles don’t match and the actors are visibly two decades older.

Ah, right, yes. I feel like there was some effort with deepfakes for the latter problem, but the cinematography is what it is

I think, for that level of granularity of preference, you may just have to learn how to do it yourself

It is pretty good. Not amazing, but much better than I expected.

I assume Palpatine created the EPA and gave Federal recognition to native tribes

Well, there’s the confirmation. Congrats to the OP, he was probably the first one to find it.

I almost wonder if OP was actually a researcher for Prop Store, running this by the fans discretely to judge if we’d accept this as true.

(for the record, I do think it’s true)

This sort of thing (for any movie) has long been the holy grail of fan editors. It has been pretty much impossible to achieve, though I’ve heard there have been good results with specialized music-removal machine-learning algorithms. But no, as far as I know, that does not exist (yet).

That being said, the movie is sufficiently visual and the music is so fundamental to the film that you might just try writing music to play under the film with no other sound.

The shoe itself is up for sale: https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/359/lot/119014

I think he thinks that if he crowdsources re-creating individual scenes from the movie and then stitches them back together into a fan-made re-creation of the entire film, this will be legally free for anyone to view.

I just thought of something. When Luke and friends are on the skiff, and he tells Han, “there’s nothing to see, I used to live here, you know” doesn’t Han know what Tatooine looks like? He’s hung out there before, in the first movie.
I’ve rationalized this to say that sure, he’s been to Mos Eisley, but hot the “middle-of-nowhere” parts like the endless sand dunes where Luke’s home was. (I don’t want there to be an issue with this line exchange because I love it)

Yeah I’m pretty sure your rationalization is the correct answer here

A consistent canon is only possible through editing and retcons. Like in Tolkien for instance.

And even he left holes & mysteries undecided (origin of the Orcs, for example)

The real question is: why does anyone care about having a consistent canon?

All gorgeous, though I question the need for the yellow oval flashes when blades clash. I assumed you’d be removing those, since that’s not how light works!

That’s how lightsabers work.

It’s true; light also famously doesn’t hum

I would like a lot more information

I find it kinda ironic that you cut the bongo sequence with the sea monsters because the cool creature stuff is the only reason I’d ever keep the journey to Otoh Gungah at all. Just my preference tho, obviously you can do what you want.

I feel like, without Otoh Gungah, Boss Nass & Co come out of nowhere in the 3rd act
