Hi Hal9000, and congratulations on your incredible work!

I’m a Star Wars fan since 1977, and I’d like to introduce my beloved GF to the whole Star Wars saga in real “theater” conditions (we are lucky to have a home cinema, and we are in lockdown, so…). Since the original movies hold some big inconsistencies that you accurately described, your edits sound better for a first-time viewer (that is the most important point for me: to be able to watch them as “real movies” without ever noticing that they’re fan edits, except for the credits of course).

Here are some quick questions (sorry that I didn’t go through the almost 800 previous comments).

What viewing order would you recommend with your edits? With the original movies I was leaning towards Machete order, but do your edits allow for a real Ep.1–>Ep.9 chronological order? And would you leave Ep.1 “to be viewed separately” like Machete, or would you include it in the whole “saga marathon”?
Same question for the two SW stories: how would you include them in your viewing order?
I’m assuming, maybe wrongly, that all your 720p/1080p edits are x264. Will you consider x265 10bit in order to reduce size without losing quality?

Thanks again!!!
