Ady I watched this thoroughly yesterday and was really amazed at the amount of work you put into this, I agree with everyone that the most impressive moment was the Tie attack, well the whole Death Star Battle was amazing, the briefing with the new Death Star plan's, the control room with the new "holo-display" now this guys are actually looking and pointing at something instead of an empty space!!, the Obi-Vader Duel was enhanced soo much, I still haven't figured out how you could make it look "faster, more intense" with the footage you had available, it looks like an entirely new scene.

The scene between Luke and Obiwan inside obi's hut flows sooo much better than the original, and feels like it was always meant to be that way somehow.

The color correction was spot on for the most part, however, and this might just be me but when inside the death star there are a few shots that look like this: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/lorindelong/truck.jpg, I believe you de-saturated everything except the things that have colors other than white-gray-black, I think maybe little reflections that were there bumping off walls are now gone and that is what gives it an unnatural look. Again, this might just be my perception that has been corrupted by watching the special editions for years, if it is I apologize and ignore this.

The other thing that I felt should have been addressed but was never talked about is the "looping" of the tusken raider, when originally filmed the editors only had footage of the tusken raider raising his gaffi stick after attacking Luke so they looped the footage they had back and forth to make it look like he was raising it up and down, this effect has always bugged me and has never been addressed, it would be nice to somehow ease it up to make it look natural, I know it might be too late for that however and if it is impossible to fix it for the DVD then disregard my comment entirely.

Again, Adywan I thank you for this edit, it is the best thing to come out of this community so far and we will enjoy it for years to come, personally I can’t stop watching the Death Star Battle!! Simply amazing work.

This message is directed to ADYWAN, anyone that has an urge to call me names and ask me to make my own edit will just be ignored.
