Yeah that sounds like Star Wars Begins by Jambe Davdar

Harmy's 2.0 of RotJ Despecialized is going to look amazing with this stuff.

I think the footage will look amazing all by itself, no need to mix it with the official BluRays.

Well that goes without saying. It'll be interesting to see what people do to these new scans. Dark Jedi, You Too and Mattman Omega got a startling amount of mileage out of the GOUT. Just think of what could come of others tinkering with this.

I just don't understand how mixing it with BluRay footage would make it look better. I mean aside from the fact that, for now, splicing in a couple of scenes into the BluRay can be done much more quickly than the time it takes to release the entire 35mm preservation.

Because no matter what you do, the Blurays will always have a finer level of detail, because their source is closer to the original camera negative than any theatrical print.

Just like you missed all the poo references in your other thread.

Oh my gosh you're telling him

ROTJ: Sometimes, you don't need technology to win (or logic). And anyone can be redeemed.

I guess I must be in a good mood this evening. I even put in the two missing apostrophes.

As much as I think the team_negative_one/-1 posting style is absurd, I have to ask: Which forum rule does it violate?

Working on getting it perfect but just started a new job will update soon but no way I am taking it down again due to a bad encode from me :)

Awesome; sounds good. Thanks for the update, and congrats on the new job!

Here's a fun theory:

Since the whole Endor bit was a set-up, what better trap than to present the attackers with something they'd defeated before?

Not to mention deliberately make it look unfinished and vulnerable. That was a touch of evil genius.

Making it actually unfinished and vulnerable (unable to jump into hyperspace when things get too bad, unable to generate it's own shield and playing host to the real Emperor and his 'second in command" and not fakers) was a bit dumb.

I wish there was a good way to visually show that the Emperor's death changes the tide of the battle for supernatural reasons.

So... What's the latest on this?

I eventually will post some technicolor work in motion.

Here's another technicolor shot:

I'm not entirely satisfied with the skintones yet.

The grass is so vibrant that it draws my eyes away from the focus of the scene, the people.

Fourthly 'Return of the King' is......    wait... you've got a point there. Damn fine film, first LOTR is better but ROTK is a massive improvement upon TTT. Still prefer ROTJ.

Fifthly 'Toy Story 3', that is a rare example of the 3rd film being the best by far yes. Still pants next to ROTJ.

These are total WTFs to me.

Too A New Hopey.

What we do know is that there is 20 years between trilogies and that one is seen under construction at the end of #3.  That doesn't mean that the one that you see at the end of #3 is the same one in #4.

It sure is the simplest, most obvious interpretation of what is shown to the viewer, with nothing to contradict it.

But only ROTJ is really full of Jim Henson muppet monsters.

Mos Eisley Cantina :-)

Frankly, that's a little insulting to Henson.

Has anyone suggested this for the ending? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN62wqBdbxA

Props to Bingo for finding it.

Is there also an advantage for people with 2.0 setups (like me) in that there's no downmixing going on? The mix was designed for 2.0, and thus will sound better than 5.1 downmix?

This is looking good.
ESB first? OK.
I will ask this.
With ROTJ in the works
is there a chance of getting
Lapti Nek and Yub Nub cleaned up
 early so Harmy can use them?

With -1, the key is patience and not asking questions. The Team will not be rushed.

But you've got the posting style down; that's something.

Bingowings said:

 

Meanwhile...

That is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Can I get an explanation of the advantages of using these soundtracks over whatever's on their blurays?

Yeah, the blowout of the white areas in the R2 shot actually causes loss of detail.

The lyrics are also just generally awful.

Just so we're clear, you're suggesting changes to ANH, a very good movie, that would remove the big finale explosion (or at least most of its intensity), in order to fix small problems in ROTJ, a decent movie.

BOOM.

Or, after they're done with it: pffffft

RLM wasn't jumping on the prequel hate bandwagon.

That's exactly what it did.

Isn't that an unanswerable question of motivation?

Bingowings said:

The Rebel base could have been on another continent.

It's a planet sized moon and they weren't there for that long.

Yeah, but try explaining that to the viewer.

There are some really obvious similarities from this song to the "Victory Celebration" that John Williams was asked to compose.

True, although Williams has certainly worked that way before (see: most of A New Hope)
