Are they doing the scene where Luke builds his lightsaber the quality on the 2011 blu-ray was bad.
As of now it seems they are rescanning all 2011 deleted scenes, the Tatooine Cave scene just didn’t leak yet.
Fascinating! Will this come with any NEW deleted scenes?
No new deleted scenes have been leaked so no one knows. But I’m hoping 🤞
one key reason to why I have a grudge against you is your attitude, whatever I do “trolling, trolling, trolling,” etc. I believe you should be the one who is reported.
Looks like you have a history of trolling based on your past messages/interactions… Accusations way back in 2025 and 2024 when you first started chatting.
So can’t blame anyone for automatically accusing you of doing so.
Wonder what they’ll do with the audio for the deleted scenes. Haven’t yet heard any clip with audio I believe.
Have you seen the few clips Disney has shown in their sequel documentaries? Incredible Quality!
https://imgur.com/a/Li08idWYes I used a screenshot of it as a thumbnail for a video once, looks absolutely gorgeous, but was very disappointed it didn’t include the “dressing room” scene 😂. I wonder what format it was shot on?
If you really want to see it, here’s this https://youtu.be/m_Zl3ym3_fY?t=1127 . slightly better quality than the other one on youtube.

Id like to see a comparison of this clip and the 2011 blue-ray release to see how much better in quality these deleted scenes are going to be. IDK how the comparison guy gets the actual 4k screencaps, but right now on the 720p streamable it looks close to the 2011 version except for some color correction and a little bit sharper. Only downgrade is there’s way more distracting green noise than in the 2011 version. Hope they remove as much distracting noise from the deleted scenes as possible so we don’t have to do it ourselves 😅
I just hope the deleted scenes will be in good enough quality that adding it into the new ULTRA 8K releases will look seamless (or as seamless as it can look next to 8k).
Also, if someone can explain why the deleted scenes look so low quality compared to the actual movie scenes even though they were both shot with the same equipment Id love to know why.The Leaks are, in fact, in 4K; it’s just that Streamable’s free plan limits the playback resolution to 720p…
What green noise are you talking about??? This leak appears to be from a higher quality source and is, in fact, softer than the Blu-ray yet still more detailed…
Why not then upload them to youtube unlisted? they don’t have that restriction.
green noise, scratches, damage…

Are new clips still leaking? Or are these ones that leaked originally and are just being posted now?
They still haven’t fixed their upload script? lol
SHHH don’t tell disney 🤫
Some Interested Observer said:
I wonder how many clips are going to be ‘leaked’ before we get the official release 😃
Hopefully enough clips so that we can assemble the entire movie ourselves before its official release 🙏
The physical release is obvious but They will most likely just release the ULTIMATE ORIGINAL boxset after all 3 films have been released in theaters + another year of waiting. And since ROTJ came out in 83, that would mean the boxset wouldn’t see a relase till 2034 or 5. Which would be in 9/10 years… Or They could release individual boxsets for each film after the theaterical release along with bonus content from that movie as a bonus dvd. Or they might only include the deleted scenes and bonus material in the ultimate collection to make people actually buy all 3 films bundled up again; Just this time it’s justified since theres extra content for each movie.
With the amount of money they’re spending? They’re for sure going to release it beyond the theaters. Unless that was part of George’s agreement that they only show it in Theaters and not release it physically but I don’t even know how George is ok with this since last I heard he was opposed to releasing the “original” version.
Why should he have any say at all, if Disney paid 4 billion dollars?
It would be completely insane for the Original theatrical trilogy to be restored and then not released because of one person. None of this would even be a thing if they had just released the original restored alongside the special edition decades ago. Lucas is the one behind this entire set of circumstances. And he created the restore the original trilogy movement with his stance on the originals. This site and others like it would likely not exist if not for his incredible arrogance. I say that as a huge devotee of Lucas and Lucasfilm, who is fan of everything he did since his student and Zoetrope days. All the way up to the Star Wars Prequels.
His lack of caring about the original director’s cuts of THX 1138 and American Graffiti, I find to be quite ridiculous. As in re-editing the young Indiana Jones Chronicles on VHS and DVD. He just can’t leave well enough alone.
Sensible people would allow people to see the television shows and films as they original were as catalog releases. And I’m not saying he can’t continue to edit his work as long as he preserves the original copies in the same quality.
There is room to argue in favor of his ability to make changes, for the Special Edition of Star Wars. His film. But I don’t think he should have been allowed to change The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. For one Richard Marquand was dead, and Lucas taking over these films as if he was the director is ridiculous. He promised Kersh final cut in 1980. He went back on his word. At least he kept his word to Steven and never recut Raiders.
Disney Lucasfilm should give fans the opportunity to own Theatrical prequels and the 1997 Special Editions too. Though one last OOT set and never needing to buy them again would be great.
Give us THX 1138 and American Graffiti both theatrical cuts, 1971 and 1973, and 1977 and 1978. and the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on Blu-Ray with all the documentaries. Lucas can keep the cgi versions of Graffiti and THX I don’t want them.
Ok, lets get one thing straight, George Lucas is the Creator of Star Wars and every other property he has created; He will always have a say and the final say. If he wants something to be X, it should be like X and honestly he’s been pretty kind considering how straight up evil the “fans” have been. The “Fans” at some point start to get this ridiculous idea that they know better than the creator and should have control over what happens with his creations. And to those people I say quit hanging on to your ego-but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight.
To bring it back, Because I heard that even though he sold it he still had a say regarding the original trilogy and that they wouldn’t release the originals. So I don’t know what caused the sudden shift since he isn’t dead yet.

Similar to the Screenshot Comparison Images - these video clips may not be ‘final cuts’ - this project is a ‘Work In Progress’.

• News & Updates (tba; for when we hopefully get an official announcement on the ALI OOT restoration for the 50th anniversary)
Wait?! for the ROTJ vimeo clip, its of the deleted sand storm scene… Are they restoring the deleted SCENES!? Sorry not in the whole loop so idk everything. But OMG! omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg OMG!!! Hopefully they restore and release the scenes that haven’t been shown yet as well like the extended sailbarge sequence.
Aye, Vimeo is being used by ALI to host some restoration work for ‘deleted scenes’ & ‘raw elements’ type of content from the OOT.
👍
And for the audio, are they using pre existing audio tracks or remastering the entire audio from the original multitracks? I’d love to finally get the option to get music only, sfx only, dialogue only audio options.
There some info on this in the Pastebin posted up in FAQ #3 (sources used for the ALI restoration), mate.
What will actually be featured any physical media release, if there is a release, is likely up in the air. Though we can always hope…
With the amount of money they’re spending? They’re for sure going to release it beyond the theaters. Unless that was part of George’s agreement that they only show it in Theaters and not release it physically but I don’t even know how George is ok with this since last I heard he was opposed to releasing the “original” version.
But if we do I’m hoping we get a documentary on several of the deleted or BTS of the OT but also the actual restoration process, especially since this is being done with no ai and is the holy grail of originals.
Thanks for organizing everything btw

guess my wish came true lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLtfTrI8qRo
thanks for the clarification. Real interesting read, hope they release the full talk before/after the screening.
Alright, I’ts almost complete. I’ve come to terms with knowing that there are still a few scratches on the video and I can spend another day perfecting it, but its good enough. I am now in the process of colorizing the other three quarters of deleted footage and editing the audio as I must now extend and blend the two sources both visually and audio-ally.
Maybe 75% done colorizing. manually tweaking each frame. Will be another week.
Here’s my attempt at colourising the scene. Took a hit of work to get it to match the 35mm scan I had used
Very nice! I’ll see if I can integrate this color into the footage soon.
Ok, I always thought this was just a single photo of a before and after, but I clicked on the link (to try and recall how to upload photos here) and discovered this was a video?! What source was this version of empire? I’d like to maybe match it to this version as well. But anyway, heres a quick color test to see what I’m dealing with:
https://imgur.com/a/YdMSKbG.png
https://imgur.com/a/4wPOMai.png
no clue how to get the thumbnails to work
Also: while matching the frame of both deleted and official versions, after “you’re trembling”, the scenes actually align almost perfectly; the audio does start to lag behind: OK at first I thought it was a fps sync issue but then I realized after muting one and playing the audio over both, it had to be re done in ADR which would explain why both sequences match in visual timing but not in dialogue.
Back to the discussion: I could overlay the two to produce the finer details but you would see the cut in quality right as the overlay stops. But it will still be really solid color info since I can just overlay them perfectly for the first half.
Also, just thought of a genius fix to skip the lines. Since both clips match I overlayed a cropped portion of the official version on top of the portion of footage containing scratches and converted it to B&W, add a slight blur, and tone matched it to fit seamlesly into one. Now I can forget those damn line scratches that run for 20% of the film.
Ok. So after thinking about it, I may release half of the entire deleted scene. They’re both basically the same except for the extended hot shot scene and the single camera shot being held for longer. I will insert the deleted scene after the close up of leia as it’s just a single shot till C-3PO enters. We’ll see how well I can blend the two together. I Should be finished sooner with this editing choice but I can still upload the rest (restored but not completely) on the side.
It’s probably the most worthy deleted scene of the lot to have been cut out and deserving of a restoration.
I don’t have a clue at how hard this stuff is to recolor or colorize?
Did you ever have a go at the cantina Rough cut? I don’t think there is too much fottage in it worth a restoration but the informant leaving the bar and the storm troopers entering a bit earlier / Han sitting with Chewbacca alone are sort of better explain what is happening nothing more. Orientation and timing fixes mainly to over editing.
Just spitballing but I am currently looking over this part currently and was wondering if you had a go and how difficult it is?
I don’t have HD footage of the cantina scene so I’ve never tried restoring the entire sequence. Colorizing isn’t too difficult and it’s a lot more fun than cleaning scratches. There are several ways of doing it but for the best results I take a few frames, colorize them, run them through ebsynth, then any artifacts I clean by hand in photoshop with a new layer set to color blend.
A video of the bonus dvd supplied in the 2006 book release was uploaded to youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGMrZtHqS9g but its in 480p. I’m gathering reference material of mustafar and I’m wondering if anyone has a higher quality version of the last 5 minutes.
Question, do you use upscaling models to enhance the footage? presumably topaz. And if so, thoughts on Adobe’s Videogigagan upscaler? This upscaler (if ever released) will be a game changer for enhancing these old 480p resolution deleted scenes.
