I didn't join originaltrilogy.com to advocate more changes to the movie. The whole point was to try and get a classic film back to its original form. This micro-managed, "It's better because now 3PO is seen in the macrobinoculars" is the same sort of garbage Lucas has been doing to the films (both old and new) for over 10 years now. It's the story that counts, not how many creatures blink. Adywan, you're demonstrating a talent for effects, but your efforts would be far better suited to screwing around with your own work and not worshiping the heels of Lucas.

Wow, you didn't send me an email about a week ago did you?

Now seriously , I knew that when i announced this edit that it would displease the hardened OUT fans, but that's not the demographic that i am aiming for. Originally it was just an edit of the SE film that i wanted but it has evolved thanks to great input from members here into something else. i am not changing the story or adding things in just because it looks good. Things have been removed from this edit that were in the SE because they were just added by Lucas for eye candy and nothing more. The Jabba scene for instance has been removed because it was completely out of place in the film and should have been included only in the deleted scenes section.
This edit was always to be based on the special editions and not the original versions. There are plenty of great OUT projects out there so why would i want to create something that is already being done? After all there are a lot of SE Star wars fans out there as well as the purists.

Hmmm. You have it completely wrong there. Lucas changed things in the SE like Han shooting first, adding Rontos and silly scenes like the worker droid hitting the samaller droid in Mos Eisley but ignoring some glaring continuity & plot errors. Your example shows a fixed continuity error and not at all what Lucas has been doing with the trilogy. Does this also mean that you will be posting the same type of thing into , for example,Darth Editous' thread because of the fixes he has done in his amazing edit?
Like i have said previously, i listen to the input from everyone, good and bad, and if the consensus is that an addition or fix doesn't work , then it has either been removed from the edit or has been redone until i get it right.
The support & input i have received for this edit has been far beyond anything that i ever expected and for that reason i will continue to "screw" around with the saga no matter what your views are, which in my opinion were rude and uncalled for,
