What GoodMusician is doing is re-editing the film to fit the original cues based on scripts, notes, etc. Which could be released as a DVD itself. Just the film re-edited to fit the original score with that as the sole track. In the bits of silence there could be text or audio commentary from John Williams or even GoodMusician describing all the edits he made. Would be interesting to see this way. I took a look at his "Battle for Naboo" reconstruction and thought it was quite interesting.

But anyway, yeah, the guy who did the isolated score I'm talking about... he re-edited the official DVD into the theatrical cut and then edited together an isolated score that matches the film as it is now with all the tracked music and choppy edits that are present in the music thanks to Lucas. I have that as either a WAV or a FLAC file. I seem to recall he put a DVD-R of the film with his isolated score on Demonoid at some point though. Anyway, yeah an isolated score that matches the film edit of the music would basically be the Ultimate Edition soundtrack set to the film... almost. There are some changes that would have to have been made. Wish I could remember this guy's name...

Anyway, if this isolated score was slightly re-edited to fit the laserdisc transfer of the film (which the HD footage would be edited to match) then it could be included as an alternate audio track. The majority of the editing has been done - it would just be some tidy-up so that it syncs with the LD version (I say LD and not HD because the HD would be the DVD cut I think) and that way the LD's 5.1 and the isolated score could be on the one disc. Perhaps with some subtitle tracks that recreate the DVD-ROM weblink in-depth commentary and script-to-screen features (can never get em to work with the PAL discs due to the speedup ).

Finally, Sluggo, thank you for the congrats. I hadn't even realized. Guess I should try and think up something special to do/say for my 1138th post.

Edit: Looks like I've babbled on for a bit trying to describe the situation with the isolated score. Hope you can make sense of it.
