I'm sorry to see this post so late in it's developmental stages. I've always steered clear of home made fan stuff and didn't give it a second thought. I noticed the latest trailer on usenet and it was great aside from the checker board of tie fighters, that gave me a chuckle. That post made me come here to see if there's any info and of course... Anyway, this looks like a quality project and I am afraid to ask if it's being edited entirely in MPEG2 480p or if 1080i assets are being utilized. There was a killer quality German H.264 New Hope 1080i broadcast back in December of 2006 and at the very least I hope most of the elements for this project were taken from that and not limited to DVD. I've sifted through as much of this thread as I could but after an hour I couldn't tell what the original quality of the assets were or if they came from anything better than DVD. I hope for preservations sake this final project will be available in 1080p and edited in 1080p in addition to standard 480p DVD authoring. There's so much 1080P star wars out there now besides anything I've done so the quality source material has been there. Anyways, congratulations on a very popular and long awaited fan project! If this turns out to be 1080P you'll have one legendary release on your hands.
