Wookie Groomer: Thank you for this beautiful collection.  I believe I have all of your releases in the quality I want: Hope - Jedi BD50, Clones BD25.  I just finished watching Return of the Jedi, and I tried out the alternate audio for Lapti Nek and the Ending song.  The ending song is bearable, with just a bit of the new song on the beginning.  But Lapti Nek needs some work in my opinion.  Are you planning on cleaning that up at any point to make it more like the original?  Is it a timing problem in the film with the new CGI crap?  The version of Lapti Nek in the original film is a bit different - more groovy, as you probably know.  Could we capture it from a laserdisk rip in 5.1 and graft it into your alternate audio?  I'm no expert at Bluray authoring, so I don't know how difficult this would be, but I would definitely volunteer my time and bandwidth to make it happen.

As a side note, I'm able to watch all the Bluray films on my x86_64 Ubuntu Linux box smoothly using mplayer and only free codecs (ffh264 and a52), and I'm able to watch your older releases (VC1) also using only free codecs (ffvc1 and ffwmapro).  It was a pain to set up, but I can send instructions on request to anyone that's interested.  I may do a little blog post about it in the future.

Again, this is constructive criticism.  This is most definitely the best set so far.
