Janskeet, i've been reading a lot of what you are intending to do in your edit in this thread an others and many of the things have me completely baffled. you seem to be ripping the movie apart without any proper thought. For one, you mention the colour of the crawl to be too "orange" and that you prefer the ROTJ crawl colour. Well are you working on a colour calibrated monitor because if you are not you are not seeing the true colours of anything. The ROTJ crawl is horribly washed out. you also pointed out that the blue hue is missing form the cockpit windows. well it shouldn't be there at all anyway. you need to check to see just how thick the cockpit is and you will see that this is the thickness of the window frames and it is in shadow ( which has been tinted blue which you would see if you have a calibrated monitor).

there seems to be many things that you are taking out just because you don't understand them, which is a very bad mistake in my opinion.

Now i don't mind people using my edit for their own edits but its looking like your just going to rip it apart without any proper thought or understanding and with you doing it to something i put in a lot of time and effort to create i'm kind of concerned about this. You mention that you going to be changing some of the Fx shots too so you will have to learn to use an FX program like After Effects. Maybe you would be better off using the original Star Wars for this instead of my edit. If this is just going to be a personal project for yourself then fair enough, but if you intend to do all these things and then release it then, after seeing what you are intending to do, i would prefer it if you didn't use my edit for this.
