It'd just be cool to me to be able to sit and watch the movie and when it came to a point in the movie where the Deleted Scene would have occured (according to the screenplay) it would automatically play it. I don't care if it's "jarring" or the quality is bad... I just want to watch it that way.

 Some people have suggested that I create my own Star Wars fan edit just for that purpose, but I'm lazy. It's just too much work for me to do it.

 I figure someone who is already doing a fan edit would have no problem making a branching version. It'd be like what they did with the X-Men dvd... you could watch it with or without the deleted scenes, even though the deleted scenes had unfinished SFX and were of poorer quality than the rest of the film. Heck, people did the same thing for the Episode III deleted scenes (the SFX in that "death of Shaak Ti/fuel tanks" scene looked like crap! there were visible green screens and safety wires too).

Restoring an entire 2 hour film obviously is a ton of work. These deleted scenes amount to just a few minutes in total. Even though they look really bad, I'm sure it'd be easier to restore them than to restore an entire movie. Somebody could even colorize the alternate cantina footage if they wanted to. That'd be sweet!

 

 

why don't go over to the technical forums, and actually learn how to do it? instead of just blindly asking..

there's plenty of people/experts that will help you out..

i'm new here, and i've gotten a ton of help/rare versions/ideas ...

 

put some effort into it, instead of waiting around, expecting for someone to hand it to you on a silver platter..

 

didn't you read my post a bit higher, where i said i'm putting the scenes back into the movie, or was it too

hard to scroll up?

 

later
