Okay I’m sure someone has the answer to this. I watched this last night and it was amazing…except for one scene…

After Yoda dies and Ben comes to Luke, there has never been any score in that scene to my knowledge from the moment Ben shows up until Luke says “Leia”. But when I watched this with the 5.1 track, the entire scene is now very obviously scored, and it really stood out as wrong. 4K83 is so faithful to the original presentations, there must be a reason for this. I’ve owned Jedi on pretty much every format since VHS (I even had a cam before cams were a thing), and score was NEVER in this scene. Someone help.

The 1.0 release of 4K83 mistakenly included a custom soundtrack that was not theatrically accurate. I believe all subsequent releases have included a theatrical audio track by default, but frankly there are a lot of them and I haven’t watched them all to confirm.

Thank you so much for this work! @CatBus Can I get a PM given that I am still in the cooldown period?

PM sent. And thanks for the explanation. I’ve never quite understood why relative few people send me a direct PM request – now I know. I didn’t know about the cooldown period, or it’d been so long since I was a new account here that I’d forgotten.

Do you mind resending me a link? To double-check the Greedo subtitles are still part of it, right?

PM sent. Yes, Greedo (and Jabba) subtitles for restoring theatrical subtitles to subtitle-free restorations can be found in resources\35mm-sources, available as PGS subtitles, or as individual PNG images. Right now, only English subtitles can be found in 2160p, and only Italian SW subs can be found in 1080p. Theoretically, that could change in the future as more original foreign prints are found and scanned.

  1. Can you recreate the 70mm version of ESB?

Frankly, I would love this too. But there are some obstacles: 1) AFAIK we don’t have a single source with an exhaustive list of visual changes between the 35mm and 70mm cuts, 2) We have exactly one 70mm source, which is better than zero, but it means we’re sort of stuck with any quality/blending issues that may bring, and 3) Despecialized tends to pair with hairy_hen’s audio, and right now there’s no English audio at all that would sync to a frame-complete version of the 70mm cut, let alone anything that would measure up to hairy_hen’s standards.

Again, I’m all in on this as a wishlist item too. I’d love it. But I suspect if we haven’t seen a Despecialized 1981 cut of Star Wars, which would be a considerably easier undertaking measured by all three points above, then we’re not likely to see the ESB 70mm cut until after that.

Project files have been updated to version 15.1 (codename: “Ursa Minor”), and the first post has been updated. Please PM me for temporary download links until the files are available at some more permanent locations.

Rough summary of changes from 15.0 to 15.1:

  • Updated render script to work with current builds of Chromium (very minor visible changes)
  • Added Bulgarian titles for Star Wars to accompany Bulgarian non-voiceover dub
  • Added Ojibwe titles for Star Wars to accompany Ojibwe dub
  • Improved Portuguese Brazilian translation (thanks to rfunes)
  • Improved Dutch subtitles (thanks to frater)
  • Included new subtitle type 70mm2 for the second 70mm version of Empire (35mm content with 70mm aspect ratio)
  • Added ESB 70mm Print B Preview to the sync script
  • Added UHD (4K), Blu-ray, and DVD case and disc art for the trilogy in the resources folder, in a style similar to the 1990 VHS releases

Hey guys! I was trying to get the Star War movies with the best quality possible, and there is where I found the D+77, D+80 and OTD83. After downloading them I was searching for subtitles in Portuguese (preferably from Portugal but can be Brazilian as well), but after searching for some time I was only able to find the subtitles for the D+77. Can you please assist me on this? The thread is really big and after searching I feel more and more lost

PM sent. We have both European and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles.
