G-force, I have just seen your recently uploaded Star Wars, and it is amazing! I have seen a number of other attempts to clean up the theatrical version, and this is the best so far. I'm so glad it features, "Blast it, Biggs, where are you?", as SW is not the same without this version of the line for me.
I cannot wait for ESB and ROTJ. Thank you so much!
One thing I am curious about is that when people try to restore the GOUT they never use SE footage. It seems to me that over 90% of the OT is untouched by alterations, so why not use footage from that - color-corrected of course - and just work on restoring the scenes that do differ as much as possible - rather than the whole film.
OCP did that with his 'classic' editions. Unfortunately, the OOT segments were from laserdisc (as they were done before the GOUT DVDs were released) and they have some other flaws, but they're still fairly decent, IMO. But right now my favorite editions are the ones dark_jedi made using G-force's scripts.
There were a couple of people here working on 'hybrid' projects using the SE DVDs and the GOUT DVDs, but I haven't heard about any progress for a while.
