Hal9000 is renowned in the fan-editing community for his background as a sound engineer. Cloak of Deception features a fully remastered 5.1 surround track. He replaces several sound effects:

Color-wise, Hal9000 desaturates the palette by 15%. The vibrant, plastic look of Naboo’s grass and the Trade Federation’s beige ships is given a gritty, Rogue One sheen. The lightsabers are re-rotoscoped to have a thinner, less-blurred core.
