You can't start with an unaltered GOUT, because the GOUT is too low in quality. The 04 SE is excellent quality, but have added CG, and screwed up colors. Adywan's SW Revisited fixed the color problems, so it would make sense to use it, since a lot of work has already been done.

 

 since the final product wasn't said to be in HD,

it wouldn't really matter what the quality/resolution started off as (DVD),

since you wouldn't be able to tell..

Even at DVD res the GOUT has far less detail. The main point of the project is to bring the image detail and excellent colour from Ady's edit to something close enough to the original version of Star Wars. I'm not doing HD because A: it would be harder to work with and B: I think the GOUT elements would stand out too much, even upscaled. I may just cut the HD SE to sync up to the original monomix and go from there (IE trim the extra establishing shots and whatnot) (I'm not exactly sure if I'll use any of Ady's fixes or not yet but I know I will be keeping a few Lucas fixes like the real people in the throne room scene)

 

I'm not sure if I want to keep continuity fixes that change the shot composition (IE adding or moving a character in a shot) because

A: shot composition and editing is an art form and B: I'd like to keep it close to the original film and only really anal people notice these things...
