Finished (finally)!

Here's what I noticed in the last hour of the film:

- There may be a skip of some kind after Yoda says "No, there is another."  I could very easily be wrong about this, it's nowhere near as glaring as the next one, and it could easily be another curious thing about the mix like the double-igniting lightsaber.
- There IS, as hairy_hen noted, a glaring side change skip at around 1:39:26, as Luke enters the carbon freezing chamber.  This is very distracting and needs to be fixed.

Other than that (and I'm not even sure the first one is an issue), I didn't notice any sync issues whatsoever.  I don't doubt that hairy_hen's analysis of the sync being up to a frame off in parts, but I never noticed it, or at least it wasn't distracting to me.

I did notice that there isn't much that's significantly different between this mix and the '93 in the same way that ANH's mixes differ.  It's little things, but being the purist I am, I'm glad to have the real original mix available.  And some things (*ahem*Snowspeeder sound effect*ahem*) that ARE different are, in my personal opinion, very important.

Once this is finished, I'll never watch ESB with a different audio mix again (with the likely exception of hairy_hen's forthcoming 5.1 mix).

You've done a man's job, sir!  ROTJ is up tomorrow...

--edit--

Holy shit, the double-igniting-lightsaber effect is in the 93 mix too!  How did I never notice that?!
