Hey I was just wondering how its coming along. I know its impossible to give a definite date on when you think it will be done, but if things continue as they are do have a ballpark idea of when this could be complete?

Really no idea at all. Right now I'm bringing ANH up to scratch for version 3, and prior to that I was only working on ESB in fits and starts. The video for the Emperor scene is hopefully almost done, with just a few details to be touched up (such as one shot where the Emperor's image inexplicably stretches up and down in an almost comical manner, once you know to look for it).

DE what settings did you use for your ANH XVID?

The motion precision parameters were set to their highest and I'm pretty sure it was a 2-pass encode. Other than that everything was left at default.

Love little fixes like the Wampa.

Does that cloud car still fly over the skylight in your version Editious?

Another yup.

Trooperman, hopefully you're reading the thread because I've run out of PMs so I'm tagging your answer on to this (and it's mildly relevant anyway). The changes I've made to the credits used copy-and-pastes of characters or groups of characters from the existing credits (which make a better match for the existing idiosyncracies), so I've never investigated which font is being used. Your best bets are probably the Univers, Franklin, and News Gothic families (or failing that, watch Adywan's thread, as he's just asked the same question).

Thanks for pics seen so far, this edit is already looking great, and hopefully will turn out just as great as your ANH edit, I am wondering will the kiss between Leia and Luke be kept, as this was the only change I disagreed with that Adigitalman made for all of his great editions,and have you decided whats being done about Vader landing on The Executor/Death Star II, will it be cut, as will all of the footage, or will you do what ADM did and just keep the shuttle in flight shot..

Hey, thanks a lot for the response, DE! I actually discovered the exact font used today (after a lot of trial-and-error), so I'm really pleased about that. It's in the Franklin family

Noooo, there'll be NTSC and PAL DVDs as well, encoded with TMPGEnc 3.0 Express if anyone's interested.

The one thing I hate about ADM's edit of ESB is that he removed the kiss. I understand that it bothers him on some level, but I think that misses the point. The intention of the kiss was simply to annoy Han. It was a far better move than just telling him to F-off.

Nice work so far Darth, I can't wait!

BTW, anyone know where I can pickup/download a DVD9 or DE's ep 4:ANH? I've been watching A.B.Starwars for a while now with no luck.

I don't think DE ever released a DVD9 of his edit, hence why you couldn't find one. I think there was little difference between the full quality size and a single DVD layer.

Ooh, a laserdisc. The Cheat's playin' something on a laserdisc.
Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!

Are you planning on adding in Vader yelling "Noooooo" from ROTS when Luke slips and falls at the end, as well as adding in Luke's scream?

Seriously though, how's progress coming? I'm holding off my tampering with ESB until you're finished. I'm glad I did for ANH too.

My stance on revising fan edits.

I'm still toying with one or two bits from ANH, and I haven't done much to ESB lately. The thing with me is, I stick with a project for so long, then my attention... sorry, what was I saying? Oh yes - my attention wanders. To be honest I'm amazed I got ANH out. It's not like I'm not going to get ESB, I will... I just don't know how long it'll take.

well that sounds familiar.

coming up to two years on this project and still not a finish date in sight.

Hi,

Just checking in and seeing how ESB was going?
I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try.

I'm still polishing Ep IV for the v3 release (this weekend... perhaps) so Ep V is still on hold.
