Yes, this project is still in the works. It's on hold for the rest of the semester - Editing II is really kicking my ass. I'm working on an all-Spanish short ... and I don't speak Spanish.
And it doesn't really matter to me if other people don't like the alternate ROTJ opening idea, I highly prefer it, which is the whole reason I'm doing this. I'm sharing them because I feel others may be interested as well. I won't, however, be doing any alternate/"purist" editions of ROTJ.
Basically, if you're looking for an ultra-purist Star Wars: Revisited, that's pretty much what my Star Wars edit is. My Empire edit will be the same, but with the new Episode-less opening crawl. If you don't want that, it's not a hard thing to replace - I'll be using the same starfield Ady uses, so you could easily just cut in his crawl. Same goes for Star Wars if you want the Episode IV tag.
Jedi will be an entirely different matter. If someone else made an ultra-purist ROTJ: Revisited, that's cool (but Ady's call, not mine), because I don't foresee ROTJ:R being welcomed by purists, and I don't think Ady will do a purist version. But if that's what you're expecting with my ROTJ because of the way the first two will turn out, I'm warning you now that my ROTJ will go further edit-wise than ROTJ:R, mainly with the restructuring, removal of Boba Fett, and the elimination of the Leia/Luke relationship (and the possibility of new character deaths). If someone makes a purist ROTJ:R and then uses an episode-less crawl to make a "purist" version of my trilogy set, that's cool with me too. But I won't be doing that.
Sorry for the mini-rant, I just wanted to be absolutely clear on this issue.
