I've been looking for something like that for a long time, and this is the closest thing that I found:

Yep. I just came across this myself over the weekend. Easily the best version of Jedi I've found so far. Thanks.

Hey, does anyone know if there is a ac3 file floating around anywhere that includes John Williams revised ending music "Victory Celebration" and matches up with the Despecialized Edition? I'm a film score buff and I think Williams Special Edition music ends the trilogy on a way more epic note. It is the only thing missing in these Despecialized versions that I feel keeps them from being perfect (although I understand that isn't necessarily the intent). Harmy, would you ever consider making one for the fans who actually like the new music that we could mux in ourselves?

Ok, so my question is a little more complicated than that. I’m looking for the best version of the trilogy that remains unaltered in every way except:

1. Cleaned up special FX

2. John Williams Victory Celebration musical cue with Sebastian Shaw as Anakin’s Ghost

These are the only changes I actually liked in any of the “special editions”. From my research, my best bet would be the TB digital broadcast transfers of the 1997 Special Edition of Return of the Jedi. So far, I’ve been searching for years and have only come across a laserdisc transfer, but it dawned on me that there might be another fan edit or something out there that has these 2 things in it and it might be much easier to find. Would appreciate any help in this matter.
