You know what I'll say, but for me, I'd rather just see them in the movie, I don't care how bad they look compared to the rest. I thought the 2004 DVD's looked awful, but most people thought they looked wonderful (present company excluded of course!). For me the CG and modern footage added in '97 and '04 sticks out like a sore thumb already. Having a few badly aged clips from '77 thrown in there would seem like a bad thing, but to me this is "genuine" Star Wars footage as much as the Jabba scene and the Biggs/Red/Leader/Luke scene.

Ady's been at his project a year now. I know somebody will just say to me "hey Kurgan, why don't you just make your own version if you want it so bad" right! I'm just a little surprised nobody has tried to insert the clip into the movie yet just to see how it goes. A lot of people will quote Lucas saying why he removed it from the movie, but then we don't always trust Lucas with his edits do we? (Jabba scene, for example).

I even look forward to seeing somebody attempt to colorize the alternate Cantina scene and add music/sound cues (but keeping the english dialog, I love Greedo speaking normally!).

Until such time (if any) as Lucas releases these scenes in some higher quality format, I guess this is what we're stuck with.

Though, correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there higher framerate clips of the Biggs scenes on the 'net that had nothing to do with BTM?
