Heh, well at least we aren't as lame as the people who waited for over a month in line to see "The Phantom Menace" right? RIGHT?? lol


Anyway...

I've now watched 3/4 of the ntsc movie on my 17in monitor (skipped around a lot looking at stuff, after all, this is 99% the same as the XVID just in better quality), and it looks great. Very impressive (especially for single layer)!

Both the saber battle and the Yavin battle still give me chills! The few creative decisions I disagree with (Vader's recolored eyes, the music at Obi-Wan's sacrifice) I can live with. I'm also glad you included 2004 Jabba as a deleted scene (I need to get my hands on some 3d glasses!). I love Jabba, even though the tail stomping gag always sucked, and I agree that the scene was unnecessary. I didn't care so much about the trailers, except the ESB one, which gets me excited for your next project!

There was a slight hiccup at the point where the officer informs Vader that the "Battlestation plans are not aboard this ship" but it turned out to just be my system (win2kpro, w/ PowerDVD5) choking because I'm seeding

However in that same scene I did notice that the rank badge on the officer's uniform seemed a little "washed out" vs. the much more colorful badges of everyone else in the movie. Apart from that minor thing (and the fact that certain inserted objects, like the new dish on the Falcon in Docking Bay 94, have a fuzzy outline) this is amazing, and by far the best fan edit of Star Wars I've ever seen... superior to the 2004 edition in virtually every way, and brings back much of the magic I felt watching the Special Edition (though I wish it was on the big screen!).

The severed hand looks fantastic! I thought I'd really miss the blood, but this looks great.

Thanks Adywan, and thanks to everyone who's uploaded and seeded. KEEP SEEDING!
