I feel like I am just repeated what has already been said several pages worth already, but here it is anyway. GOOD JOB, FANTASTIC WORK. I am still a purist and I can't say this is going to replace the 77 version for me, which is the only one I watch. But this is honestly what the SE and the 04 DVD should have been all along. Your changes make sense and they aren't just change for the sake of change. Too bad LFL doesn't spend as much time on this as you did. If you could achieve this, imagine what they could achieve. I like the new colors, I think I liked every change I noticed, save for the flipper. I always liked the bleeding arm, it does give the movie a little bit of an edge. But I can see the reason for removing the blood and adding a burn, but I have to agree with everyone else that the arms the way to go. I really liked the incoming fleet of tie fighters. Sure, they don't exactly match the rest of the Tie shots, but Jabba, the new dewbacks and the Rhontos never matched either. I think the tie fighters match and work just as well and better than any of the special edition additions. It would be cool if you could create some comm. chatter as a reaction. As it is everone looks like they are thinking "We screwed" and not talking so as to pay attention to their flying, which works. But if I were really in that situation and I saw scores of ties coming in like that I would be saying something like, "Guys! There they are 1 o'clock! We have incoming!" follow by a few lines of curse words expressing the fact that each and every one of us was going to die. If you really felt the need to change it and add in some exclaimations through the comm. I think it would work quite well and I am sure it would be easy enough to do. The voices through the comm. are pretty hard to place, so you wouldn't need to match it up to anyone in particular. You get it close enough and no one would notice.

Sorry, I know the place has already been flooded by a million other comments like this. I really liked it and I was very impressed. I wasn't expecting it to be anything near what it was. Did I mention I really liked the new colors? They're fantastic. I for one really liked the near monochrome walls.

Edit

Errrr... probably should have read over some of the other pages more before I posted the stuff about the ties. Just flipped a page back and saw that it is not something that is suppose to be talked about. Sorry. This thread is growing at an incredible rate, kind of hard to keep up with.
