I just got my copy today. I thought I would point out a few things that stuck out to me. I mean in no way to insult the work you did ocp, there were just a few things that didn't look quite right.

In the shot where Luke pulls up in his speeder and (in the 2004 edition) a Ronto walks in front of the camera.

- You combined the LD and DVD here in such so that when the black guy in a robe walks by the scene wipes from LD to DVD repsectively. The only problem with this shot that I saw (besides the color difference which I assume you couldn't get any closer) was that when the guy walks by, there is white silhouette that also passes through the black bars on the top and bottom. This really caught my attention. You may want to do something about that.

Luke's lightsaber aboard the Falcon (the shot that was green on the '04 ed.)

- I don't mean to get on your back here, but it looks bad. The glowing aura is consistently too short, and it doesn't match the following shots of the his lightsaber at all.

"STAR WARS" through Star Destroyer going overhead

- There is some serious artifacting going on in the hollow STAR WARS and the starry background. It doesn't begin to fix itself until the next shot of the Tantive IV coming toward the screen.

And about this last one, I don't know if you can do anything about it, but...

All of the LD footage is too narrow

- Everytime an LD shot comes up, there is about 1/4" black bar on each side of the screen. I don't know if you can resize to fit the dimensions of the DVD, but I thought I would let you know about it in case you hadn't noticed. It is most noticeable when you have LD shot that "morphs" into a DVD shot.

Oh, by the way, I was pretty much just fast forwarding through the DVD as I didn't have time to sit down and watch the whole thing. So, these are just the things I noticed at a glance. I don't want to be nit-picky, but if you want the criticism, then I can oblige.

I do want to say nice work. I think this will be nice to have for all those purists outthere. I hope you don't go killing yourself over the faults I found. I just wanted to make sure you knew about them. I tend to be a perfectionist, and little things like that would drive me crazy.


Stay cool.
