Collaborative Fanediting: An ROTJ Proposition (BACK ON TRACK WITH EMANSWFAN AT THE HELM--SEE POST 1488 OR OP FOR A LINK!)
Time

Sorry about my post before; I've been having problems posting. :-S 

I think I could help with coloration (I've look at the deleted scenes; some of them have wonky color and contrast issues)... but I've also been looking at some of the other proposed scenes, like the revised Boba death scene, and tweaking  those however I can. 

I'll try to get back to you with more soon. :-)

This project has already had several folks come and go already, so you're definitely not too late.  You are certainly welcome to bring what you have.  One of the biggest challenges has been fixing up the deleted scenes.  We've got one person on it, and I'm confident he will do a fantastic job.  However, I suspect he might appreciate a little help, as that is a pretty big task.  However, if you'd rather focus on some other task, that's okay.  I encourage you to skim through the past several pages and get an idea of what changes we're pretty certain we're making, and maybe you can think of something you might want to try.

As for Palpatine's voice, we will definitely need it when he is telling Jerjerrod to blow up Endor if the bunker is destroyed, so we could certainly use you there :)

I know I'm really, really late to the discussion (35 pages late!), but could I lend a hand, offer any ideas? I do have a pretty good video editor (Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0), and I have all of the deleted scenes in top-notch quality.

Also, if anyone needs a Palpatine voice, I'm rather good at that. ;-)

My Top 10 Reasons ROTJ sucks

Personally? I'd have acquiesced to Ford's demands; yes, kill Han off -- but let it be a major part of the plot. One of his major complaints was "he's got no mama, he's got no papa"; why didn't they just do something like they were planning with the Brackett version of Empire? Give him a papa, or a step-papa; a rich and influential man, someone the Rebel Alliance wants to get to before the final fight -- thus giving them a slightly darker motive for helping Luke and the gang rescue Han at the start of the film. In the course of this, at the beginning of the third act, Han would die -- sacrificing his life for this man.

See? Something for him to do besides mushy love dialogue; Ford certainly would've put in more of an effort with even that.

The main theories I understand to pertain to George's commitment to changing the movies and not releasing the UOT are:

1. His vision is changing constantly.

 That's probably literally true, due to his diabetes; even a half-blind man can tell you the DVD transfers were screwed up, but apparently, the emperor needs no glasses... :-P

No need to get personal.

Wasn't trying to be; just figured there had to be a more logical reason for letting those screwy transfers go than Lucas being THAT incompetent and not paying attention during the quality-control screenings...
