If you got the DVD free from bwlag like I did, than the alternate subtitles to MagFans should be stream 2 like it says when it starts. Just press the Subtitle button on your DVD remote. If you don't have the DVD's than I must ask why since they are 100% free.

I have only watch BotF so far and plan to watch TCW this weekend. I oly watched it with MagFans subs though but i'll watch it again too. I really loved the edits. Althought the aliens languages sounded a lot like scrambled speaking (which they were but what else can oyu do) they really made everything more.......realistic. Well, more Star Wars like. Chewy, Greedo, Jaba, and most other important aliens didn't talk english in the OT so why would they in the PT? Also, the crystal story was pretty cool just because it gave some cool little background that some EU short story or even novel could have gone into (but never will because GL fucked up). The pod race was better both because it is my favorite part of the movie and now it is longer and less silly (no jabba, or two headed announcer). Granted I really loved these silly things as a 12 year old but now they just seem stupid. Other small things worked well two. And the opening crawl was better than I expected but looks a little....off.

Does anyone know if the BotF edit was done using the VHS WS version. It looks quite a bit worse (tho not bad by any means) than when I skimmed through of TCW. TCW looks like a DVD, and BotF looks like a VHS capture IMO. If I'm wrong here, can anyone explain this to me. If I'm right, we should ask MagFan to do a DVD version.
