Small update:

The Purist audio worked out wonderfully - it actually blended in much more smoothly and easily than any other Revisited-to-mono-mix blending I've had to deal with on this whole project. I'm very, very happy with it now.

DJ's GOUT video in the "dead end" sequence (replacing the random-ass hangar of the SE) works quite well as well, and with no color correction.

Now the tricky stuff - I've tried adding in the one Mos Eisley shot that was cut from the SE in place of the super-wide SE shot that included two rontos, but the GOUT quality - even DJ's cleaned up GOUT - is just too much of a drop, so I think the SE shot is staying (unfortunately).

I've also used DJ's GOUT to replace the alley search SE shot with the stupid floating droid. This works better, but I'm still having trouble with the color correction - I'm nowhere near as good at that as Adywan is, despite Avid's very powerful color correction tools.

Other than that, there's nothing much to report. I'm going to get to work on restoring the pre-SE version of the desert search ("Look, sir - droids!") next, but I imagine it's going to be quite difficult and labor-intensive to accomplish. Fun stuff.
