oohteedee OTD83 v1.0:



This is a "theatrical" reconstruction (mostly) of Return of the Jedi using the 2160p UHD BluRay HDR version as it's main source. This project is SDR.



This is not a pure theatrical reconstruction though. This is not a new Despecialized. Theatrical but not completely theatrical...



The 2160p UHD BluRay was used as the primary source for this project. For the shots restored, I used my ProRes4444XQ minimalDNR master of 4K83 with v1.6 grading applied as a base.



I restored most of the original 1983 shots of the film, removing most of the CGI and other unnecessary changes. My preference was quality over authenticity though.



My intent was to keep it as theatrical as possible, but I'm willing to sacrifice some authenticity for quality sake so some creative license was used in the process.



It's theatrical in spirit.
