Star Wars fan Nick Acosta is in the process of creating a 4k 60fps remaster of the classic 70s Star Wars Holiday Special. He’s shared a trailer showing what he’s got so far and it looks pretty weird!
I’ve only ever seen the terrible quality of the special that’s up on YouTube, so seeing some of this footage in such a high quality is jarring to me. It’s crazy, and in a way, it’s even more horrifying. The creator said:
I have been remastering the Star WarsHoliday Special. It’s done using a combo of version shopping and software. There are a lot of bootleg versions floating around and some are worse than others. The main way to get more resolution is through a machine-learning program called Topaz Video Enhance AI. It analyzes it frame by frame. It is a LONG process so I cut the thing down into a modern-style trailer for it then upscaled that. I’ve long loved this weird thing. It’s so 70’s and goofy but it has the actors in their post-New Hope prime, it has the first appearance of Boba Fett and I still consider the whole thing canon. Hope you enjoy it, and if you don’t, be kind!
Check out the footage below and let us know what what you think.
