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.

This may be considered sacrilege but could you consider adding a slight pause between "Look Sir!" and "Droids"?

The way the line has always been delivered cracks me up because I keep expecting Sarge to cock his gun and shout "Where?".

A slight pause might put the emphasis on the plating ring and the stormy then explains it's from a droid.

I wish Ady in ANH:R had used the line from the Radio version where the trooper says "It's a plating ring from a droid Sir" in a slightly less alarmed voice.

I understand that this version is trying to be more like the Star Wars we are all familiar with and I'd understand if you wanted to keep this classic line in all it's wacky glory but I thought I'd throw this in just incase it's something that might appeal to you.

If it doesn't I'll pop the idea onto the After Ady thread.
