I have been following this amazing thread for a while, but not having grown up watching Star Wars a million times, I haven't had anything to contribute until now. But as a recovering grammar nazi
'Recovering' eh? ...ho boy. (I only skimmed but I'm sure the comments were helpful.)
As for 'the GOUT', I always thought of that as an OT.com in-joke, e.g. referring to it as some kind of diseased version - e.g. referencing the now-archaic way of referring to maladies with a definite article. As in, 'the influenza', 'the polio', 'the consumption', 'the grep'. (And I'd be shocked if nobody ever said 'the gout'!) It's a convention of these boards by now, and saying it without 'the' is by now awkward...

It's a 12-step program, and I might have a few steps left.

If that's the case, then I bow to convention. However, this does bring up the question of the intended audience of this comparison. Most people won't even know what the GOUT is, so maybe that should be explained.

I'm always available to help with the 'negative reinforcement' aspect :)
As for that...it is essentially explained by making 'George's Original Unaltered Trilogy' the title of that quadrant of the screen...I trust ppl can figure it out. If not maybe a small Puggo-style intro can run through those terms

See You, Space Cowboy...If I'm not mistaken, the GOUT acronym is explained at least once.

Jedi of the Mosaic FaithAh, GOUT is in acronym form in the quadrant title as well. Hmph.

Han D. SoloYeah. And mainly the BD is going to have a little doc breaking down all the sources.

This link says: Harmy's own Star Wars Trilogy: The Very Special Edition, available in 12 parts on Youtube, mashes up real footage with Star Wars parodies...:

Why not skip the text on the comparison gallery and just record an audio commentary for it? It might be easier to explain the changes you've made.
Just a thought...

Han D. SoloMost of those shots are like 2 seconds long, so an audio commentary is pretty impossible for the video part and it would be a bit weird for the still gallery.

I guess I didn't think of that. I pictured this as a series of video clips that might repeat and zoom in on sections of the video while you narrated what changes had been made. Like I said, just a thought.

I was turned on to this site and Harmy's work just this past week. And let me tell you, the work you're doing is amazing!
Trying to acquire a copy of DeEd but running into problem. Is it still on myspleen? If so, I PM'd the appropriate parties listed to receive an invite.
Looking forward to enjoying this.

Sorry for the newb question, but I am itching to get my hands on the Despecialized Editions of all three films, and it looks like myspleen is the best place to get them. Can anyone send me an invite, or tell me how to contact walkingdork through this forum?
Thanks.

Padawan LearnerJust for fun, I used MVKmerge and added the 93 LD's PCM stereo mix in place of the dolby 2.0 mix. It synced perfectly. Harmys' version is amazing, and I love having all the various mixes available to just click through.

Harmy. Two quick questions. I think I may have asked already but if not I'll ask again. How come you didn't use GOUT upscale for the shot of Han going 'Yes, I'll bet you have!' and also the shot of the fleet taking off (with the man in the tower) in the original it was four ships in each row but in yours its 3?

as to that ships taking off shot, I never noticed that, so it's indeed probably a little mistake. The fourth ships are still there but much less visible.
