i think de-SEing ANH would be a hard task, as they weren't flat out new shots as they were adding things to existing shots, ruining them in the process. Same with RotJ, I would think.

Yeah, that's a good point. Shame.

I think it would be possible to pull off for ANH - it would just require an Adywan-magnitude of perseverance to pull off. Start by using Adywan's AVCHD of  ANH-SE. Pop in a few scenes from ANH-R (like officer's getting blasted in the chest, the stormtrooper road-check in Mos Eisley, etc.). Then for the rest use a stabilized GOUT. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been tried yet.

I'm just surprised overall that there have been...what, zero? projects based on ANH:R. Some have used some of the footage, of course, but I mean a real new edit based almost entirely on "fixing" ANH:R or using it as the foundation for something like you just mentioned. I guess people are really satisfied with either the DVD-9 or the Purist version.
