Padawan LearnerThe Classic Re-re-re-release of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.
In this version the word "WOOKIE" has been changed to "HAIR CHALLENGED ANIMAL" and the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

Better Grumpy than DopeyCarried out a big update to this 4 year old list today. Still some more projects that could do with being added.
There are a lot of projects where we have a discussion thread on the forum, but no specs or details on the wiki (and it's unlikely there ever will be, as interest in these older projects is minimal these days). The best resource for details on these projects would be Russ's Galactic Trade Federation site.

The Scarlet PimpI'm looking for a fan-edit that simply takes the 2006 GOUT DVD9 (preferably PAL), leaves everything intact (including existing audio), but adds the 5.1 surround track from the 97SE LDs.
Obviously you'd have to edit the AC3 track a little to accommodate changes like Han shooting first, but those should be very minor differences.
I'm not much of an A/V editor so I wouldn't know how to do this myself (well adding the track might be easy, but editing it and syncing I can't do), so if anyone could do this I would be very grateful.
Cheers.

Reginald ScumI was considering doing something of that sort, but pretty much abandoned the idea because frankly, it's just too much of a pain. Not only are there overt editing differences, but apparently, there are missing frames every time an optical composite was re-done for the special edition. You'd have to upmix and patch in sections of the '93 mix for places where the edit was changed as well. Considering that even different audio mixes of the original versions don't easily synch to each other, one so altered won't be made to fit the original film without a lot of tedious work. It could be done, of course, and I would be interested in such a thing if it was, but it would be difficult.
The '97 mix does sound rather good in 5.1, but I think ultimately I still prefer the '93 version since it is closer to the original 70mm mix, and has greater dynamic range and sound quality.

I remember watching a documentary a few weeks ago about the release of the Special Editions - it consisted of interviews with people lining up on opening night. Star Wars or Bust is very similar. Does anyone know the name of this documentary?

It's a direct read of the 'backstroke of the west' subtitles. The most impressive part is most of the non-dialog sounds seem intact. Check out chapter 25 towards the end, the music sounds like a match and even R2's beeps are there.
Inside job perhaps?

I'm looking for a good version of Return of the Jedi that is anamorphic and doesn't have the cgi Sy Snoodles in it (and is not in Blu-Ray b/c I don't have one.)
Any suggestions?

It's like it's quite possible that Picasso would have loved to use Photoshop for some of his paintings if it was available back then, but if you take a picture from Picasso and recreate it in Photoshop, it's not going to be the same picture and it can hardly be used to demonstrate Picasso's brush techniques.

Better Grumpy than Dopeydark_jedi's GOUT-sourced Custom DVD
Either wait for v3, or look for the previous version that has already been completed.

Gin & Greedo... a drink only Jabba could love.So... I'm new. I've looked through the forums and can't seem to figure out which preservation/custom is generally regarded as the truest replication. Is there one that most members agree is the best or is it highly debatable and strictly a matter of personal taste?

It is debatable and a matter of opinion, but I recommend you obtain G-Force's ANH, Adywan's theatrical restoration/recreation of ESB, and dark_jedi's ROTJ if you want the best that is currently available in terms of theatrical versions. Keep an eye out for dark_jedi's new versions: they will be released soon.

Was there any efforts to have all DVD covers and labels of all releases ?
