Wow- thanks to and Bespinsec for the encouragement. This movie WILL be done this year. And thanks again to LTH for considering making an Ep. I to match. I'm really very excited.
Now, as far as a commentary track- I probably have enough material for 3 commentaries. That's not an issue
I guess the question is whether you want a commentary on the single-layer release (which would probably diminish the video quality of the actual film).
That's a fair point, and could be a hard call to make. Are plans for DL still in the works?
Thanks for the info, that sounds like a phenomenal running time considering all your edits. I forgot how much you've worked out replacement footage. I would imagine your approach might have actually increased breating space and "flow" in the movie - one of the things that made ESB so great IMO was the natural pacing and silence.

At that time, I'll sit down with a pencil and paper and run the film from start to finish, making a list of every single technical flaw or pacing flaw that I see/hear. Then, I'll go through the movie and implement all of the changes, which will hopefully not take very long.

Actually, I think SOTDS is turning out to be around 2 hrs (or a little more). I don't have a final running time yet (but I should soon). This is because a lot of rotten scenes were given new meaning, dialogue, and music, and actually became good scenes. Rather than cut out a lot of scenes, I tried my darndest to make what was already there good. Not just adequate or watchable (by cutting out offensive dialogue, etc.)- but good. I think that's what will differentiate this from a lot of other edits. I replaced things and changed things that worked fine. Why? Because I wanted it to be breathtaking! I'll leave it to others to decide whether it worked or not...
