Beautiful screencaps all! I love the filmic quality you brought back. ESB no longer looks digitally shot.
Just curious about the change in this shot. The landscape outside the hanger doors is slightly changed. Is this for continuity purposes? If so, damn, you're good! :)
You cannot give up this fight! It can't be allowed! Whom else will take up the holy charge of chronicling the changes over the ages?
"This task was appointed to you, and if you cannot find a way, no one can."
Sorry if I don't go through 300+ pages to see if this has been suggested or not, but if we're going to keep the ROTJ group portrait shot, can we at least have Lando clap with the same damn rhythm as the music?
I just want to add my voice to the guy a few pages back who mentioned DVDActive.com
I thought those old articles were great and pretty comprehensive, but then I found this thread. I had no idea people were picking apart slower/faster wipes and wisps of clouds.
And I think it's AWESOME :)
I recently made a trip to Honk Kong, where there is no internet censorship, and I was able to finally download the whole thing. Fantastic work! Love, love, love this. :)
I had a listen to this in it's entirety and I have to say it's really great! I really missed those Across the Stars cues, and it's really nice to have the full droid factory sequence as well.
Thanks for the hard work, this is now my go-to AOTC album!
It will be finished when it is finished.
Looking forward to this project if and when it is completed!
The 3D point is an interesting one. I wonder if a lot of the changes in the blu rays were done in anticipation of this. Rocks in front of R2 to increase dimentionality, etc
Thanks for the PM and the answers, bro!
I don't really want to ask this question, but I have to: Are we using any other sites besides MediaFire? Like PackUpload?
Reason I ask is because I live in China and the government's firewall seems to block some sites, and not others. There's really no reason or rhyme to it. So I can't access MediaFire, but I can access PackUpload and some others.
I really hope so, because I'd love to listen to this mix! And I'm sure there are other fans in China who would also like to have access. :)

Wait, the only official release I know of is the Sony album (plus the Target exclusive track). So what are your sources? Blu ray rip?
In any case I am total agreement with you on AOTC being overly maligned by fans. IMHO I think ROTS is the weakest of the PT, though still a strong effort. AOTC has arguably the best love theme of the saga, and is also a wonderful tribute to mid-century film noir scores, especially the Kamino bits.
Would love links, thanks!
video games.
Ahh, yes. That makes sense. Let me know when I can get those links! :)
I've been spending a lot of time reading thread and posts, and man, it is easy to get mixed up in all the information here! Who made what soundtrack restoration... which film was it... which edition was it... which sources... crazy! I saw somewhere, someone had the idea of a preservation wiki. Man, that would be nice. All in formation in one place. I hope that gets off the ground some day. I've got like eight tabs open at the moment, cross referencing different threads...
A few n00b questions, if anyone is kind enough to answer them.
1. How many versions of the ESB IAE have been made by ABC, and is this 2012 one the latest and greatest? I'm not a super educated "audiophile", but I am a super fan of the music. From what I can tell, on a scale of 1 to The Second Coming of Jeebus, this is a 9.9. Audiophiles, would you say that is true?
2. What's the deal with the OT remastered soundtracks by ABC and 7FN? How many editions of that one, and (with respect to other fan restorations) are those the gold standard for Star Wars and ROTJ?
3. Are there IAEs in the works for any other films, PT or OT?
4. Sort of a different topic, but I saw between posts here and there a bit of hate directed towards the TPM UE. Why is this? It's given me a lot of happiness over the years, but like I said before, I'm not the most educated audiophile, so maybe I missed something.
5. What's the ESB DVD that ABC made? The entire score set to, what, the entire film? In 5.1? That would be craziness.
6. And a super n00b question, but can someone explain the difference between cues, film edits, and concert suites? And of those three, what is an RSO generally comprised of?

If new links are up, would you mind sending me a pm?
This sounds like a fantastic project!
Wow, if I had known something like this existed years ago, I would have been here in a flash! What a pleasant surprise to see someone took the time to do this amazing work. May I have a link please?
