So I repeat my question - in the case of the Greedo subtitles, what displayed in non-English-speaking theaters?  Does anyone know for sure?

as soon as we get a tape, we'll get back to you on that.... but I'm pretty sure the subtitles were localized.... If they went through all the trouble of localizing the crawl, the "a long time ago", the Lucasfilm card, why not the Greedo scene?
Plus, the SEs were done that way

As far as I remember they were. Any country which dubs movies had greedo subtitled in their own language. It make sense that a country like Sweden where they only subtitle the films they would just use the original master with english subtitles on greedo and just superimpose their own, it's cost effective.

So I know this is the wrong thread, but it's the most active and I'm pretty sure someone in here (ahem, Harmy) will have the best answer; I have to re-download ROTJ and was wondering what the best place to go to is?  If possible can you post a link?

As some of you might know I've already re-created the German intros as faithfully as I possibly could in HD (SW, TESB, ROTJ) and I was thinking about doing that for some other languages as well, IF I could get usable captures of the translated opening cards and crawls. Preferrably the pre-SE versions (since that's the point of Harmy's project).

I found the French SW crawl on YouTube as well (the same one posted a bit earlier in this thread), but if someone has better captures of these things, feel free to PM me.

Leo and I were inspired by your work Laserschwert, we're pretty sure we can manage the HD version of the titles (+subs for Greedo). Early tests were excellent, I'm now waiting to get hold of the old videotapes to check the scene with Greedo and the end titles.

Also, and I brought this up before but it didn't spark the discussion I was hoping for, for the Czech BD release, they changed the Czech title of ROTJ taking "the Jedi" to be plural, so it basically now translates as "The Return of the Jedi Order".

Well, it wouldn't spark too much discussion from us Germans anyway, as it's always been "Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter" -> "The Return of the Jedi Knights" in German ;)

Yeah, same goes for the Czech dub - in the original early 90s dub Greedo was dubbed into Czech and in the later 97SE dub he was subtitled. Now there a third brand new Czech dub on the BD, which apparently sucks ass because the actors they used don't sound anything like the original actors (Luke for example sounds like a 40 year old man and Han is dubbed by the same guy who dubbed Luke in the two previous dubs). Though the translation is probably much better.

Well you obviously haven't seen/heard the Slovak dub of the 1997 SE :-) All aliens (Greedo/Jabba) were speaking Hutteese, but there were NO subtitles at all :-)

How do I access this file?  Do I need an invite?  Please someone help!

Harmy, can you describe what kind of color differences we're supposed to be seeing in that screenshot, for the stupid among us?

Good question :-)

Harmy, which renderer do you use in MPC-HC?
