Happy May the 4th! Here is Star Wars Despecialized v2.7, the final release of the officially sanctioned (as in, by Harmy) updates to Despecialized v2.5 including upgraded shots and alternate color timing.

Comparison Gallery: http://picsurge.com/g/cCwnAo (many more color changes were made than shown here)

Brief Description of updates:
Despecialized v2.5 Recolorized was released first as a test to adjust the color timing of v2.5, in order to remove some of the heavy color bias that was inspired by a Technicolor scan that turned out not to have been corrected yet. v2.6 quickly followed, which included some shots from Team Negative’s 35mm release, after being cleaned and adjusted, to replace GOUT-based shots of v2.5.

Despecialized v2.7 incorporates many more color adjustments to remove some of the green timing in some desert shots, Death Star interiors, and more. Additionally, it was encoded from Harmy’s lossless master file, meaning no generational video quality loss. A few mistakes were found in v2.6 and corrected, including color issues and the fact that some Mos Eisley shots were accidentally taken from GOUT sources, and not 35mm. Some Despecializing enhancements were made as well. Namely, the lightsaber in Ben’s hut was rotoscoped from 35mm, the “A Long Time Ago” card is a cleaned 35mm sequence, and the Greedo subtitles have been rebuilt based on Team Negative’s 35mm release.
