STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time

Anyone Check out the Rouge one Trailer? Thoughts… Looks like they are going with the original looks of the OT. This might Nullify ADYWAN’s changes from his original revisited…

The Walkers look a little funny like there heads do not quite seem right, and the lighting (shadows) of the imperial star destroyers look off.

Usually trailers to not have completed final effects so hopefully they will tweak this…

Info: Bad news for anybody wanting to use the deleted scenes in a TFA fanedit or extended edition
Time

I would imagine that the deleted scenes at best only have a 2.0 channel stereo mix at best. I doubt the studio would want to spend a lot of time finishing mixing 5.1 audio for scenes that were cut or incomplete. That would drive their cost up… This is because audio mixing usually one of the last steps in post for a AFX perspective.

Guys,
There might be some grain of hope. I checked out the trailer for the deleted shots and this will sound crazy but as long as there are previous frames of the background info where the time code is not covering it could be removed with Mocha Pro’s remove Module. I do not use the remove tool too much so I will have to take a refresher coarse on it, but it is very doable…

This video demonstrates how powerful this software is. So I believe it is possible to do this.

If you have IOS download the star wars APP. They have a preview look at the blu ray release with some selected deleted scenes, it not only has time code burn in but box watermarks at the border of the frame…

I am not saying I can not remove it, just going to be a real pain in the arse. Going to take time. Mocha pro has a remove module that could work well for static shots. But my main focus will be to start with the theatrical release. I work on the DEL SCn stuff after that.

I can confirm this. Would be a nightmarish process to fix. Even After effects artists would struggle fixing this. Because this is clearly not one for those “FIX IT IN POST” items. Disney put that burn in for a reason. (FAN EDITS) :{

My guess the studio might release and extended edition of directors cut in the future. To maximize there profits.

And not only that we do not even know of the level of production quality of these scenes, from an audio perspective.

STAR WARS VII - XXTELECINE7XX (Released)

{Restoring the classic Falcon engine look}

I have grabbed some screens from google and was playing around how to give the falcon its classic engine look. though the original CG work in TFA is really good, it somewhat bothers me as it is clearly different from the original trilogy… As of right now I am playing with ideas to find some middle ground to bring back the classic GLOW of the Falcon Engine without completely blowing up what the studio did. Below is what I came up with so far.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

OPEN SUGGESTION for EP III and VII Edit to reduce pg-13 to PG
Time

I’d say that the guy’s bloody severed arm in Mos Eisley is more gory than anything in TFA.

I checked out the christian family movie review website: pluggedin.ca and checked both of the movies you listed and here are the more reasonable arguments:

ROTS:

Several flesh-and-blood characters lose limbs to those with better lightsaber skills. In its description of these violent elements, USA Today’s movie preview read a lot like the ones we write here at Plugged In Online: “Children are slain. The heroic Jedi Knights are all but slaughtered. Characters lose arms, legs and heads in lightsaber duels. Anakin is dismembered and then catches fire, screaming in agony while the flesh peels off his body.”

TFA:

Lots of people die, Star Wars-style, from laser blasts. (Which means there’s little to no blood.) Stormtroopers go flying from explosions. To put it another way, the body count here is outrageously high while the gore level registers at near “antiseptic.” When Kylo Ren arrives on Jakku, Finn sees one of his fellow Stormtroopers die, and the expiring soldier leaves bloody finger streaks across Finn’s helmet. A tentacled creature gets slammed in a door, which severs various appendages. That creature and its mates roll through a ship trying to eat anything that moves. (They sometimes succeed, just out of the frame). Lightsabers are the cause of several (instantly cauterized) injuries, and a couple of people die from a saber to the gut. (It juts out the other side.)

The ones in TFA IMO aren’t anything to be concerned about, Darth Maul getting cut in half while the mist of his blood flies up is more violent than Han getting stabbed and now that I think of it, Han’s death barely shows anything, the injury is left to the imagination whereas Qui-Gon’s death shows his injury front and back as well as Darth Maul pulling the blade out. ROTS is warranted a PH-13 rating but I think if you cut the kids being murdered on screen and remove the majority of the decapitations then it wouldn’t be that bad.

Well I am going to have to get creative with cut away’s then lol
