Couple things though:
Took me this long, but I just realized that the chasm that Obi Wan is in has green lights and the one that Luke is in has white lights. Why is this? I mean, I wouldn't think the Empire would get these green lights for effect?
I noticed you didn't put Wolfman back in. If you need some DVD quality source for that for a future release, let me know.
The WHITE saber still is noticeble, but you've made it look alot better, considering. I think, in the end, we are just going to have to rotoscope that scene. ugh.
All in all, this is the best presentation of Star Wars I have ever seen, and my friends who have been waiting patiently the past two weeks I'm sure will enjoy it as much as I have.
Thanks DE, and your hard work will be rewarded.

Hey there DE, just wanted to know if you mailed my DVD yet. I didn't get anything this week and so I wanted to make sure there wasn't some trouble with mail again.
I mailed it today, but I don't know when it will get to you.
I did a doubletake on that when I first watched the DVD. But sure enough, those lights have always been green, we've just never seen them so saturated. I don't know why it would have shaken - all I did was apply a some new hues to the overhead matte painting (two shots).
the video is just so much better (PAL)

Didn't I send you the NTSC version? It shouldn't look much different from the region 1 DVDs.

Oh, I know that the green isn't something you did. However, I wonder which is supposed to be right. I mean, I guess they both could be right but it makes little sense to me.
You used PAL as a source, which has a bit better color timing than the NTSC version. So thus, when you converted PAL to NTSC (which is what you did, right?) it preserved the better image coloring. The Death Star goes from blackish blue (NTSC) to the correct grey (PAL).

Really? That's odd, since the region 1 and 2 DVDs would probably have been mastered from the same source... weird!

If you should decide to change it for future releases, I think I've got the 'dead end' Stormtroopers (ala Han runs around the corner into the room) original footage from Empire of Dreams. Just needs some color correction.

It's probably easily fixed with a simple morph... Or something. Right, Darth Editous?
Kidding.

Just as odd as four Stormtroopers vigorously searching a dead end, with no where for anyone to hide?

Come on, Hardcore Legend. This is the guy who put Obi-Wan's face in the hood.
Heh. That was a piece of cake after some of the other stuff! But creating six new frames on the end of a scene... morphs wouldn't help you there.
But, to be honest, it never really occured to me to restore the old shot, and now that I think about it I still prefer the SE one.

Oh, I agree. I like the new shot too except that they should have merely removed the old Storm troopers from the shot, have the over Han's shoulder look and put in new CGI ones farther away. The perspective both depth and width of the shot makes it seem like the original troopers are disconnected from the new ones AND they are all crammed into a tiny room, not a giant hanger.

I'm not sure if this was answered before or not, but is this single or duel layered?

It's single layered, but with no menus or extras it still has about 80% the bitrate of the original, and was done at the highest quality encoding I could do - it took 15 hours (with multi-threading).

Of course I would have left in Wolfman from the cantina scene
but at least the Jabba unpleasantness is behind us once and for all.
