The text commentary may not be viable for ESB:R as there are so many things done the text would just flash by too quickly to read

 Understandle but a pity. I would have missed 2/3 of the changes in ANH:R if not for that.

You could always do a goof commentary using arrows that quickly point to an change and a little comic bubble saying "Change!". Or you could speed read it.

:D

Too lazy. The 2004 is already there, and here's my other comparison:

Thanks doubleofive, those are fine.  Although they don't match exactly, those frames you posted are near enough for me to show a side-by-side look here at how adywan's new shot compares to the previous versions.

Here's what the 'behind-the-scenes' Probe Droid set looked like -

...and here's how the footage turned out as the Probe Droid rises...

...and here's how things look immediately afterwards in the GOUT, SE, and Revisited versions...

Such a great tweak which matches the original set details, and no sudden flames anymore, thankfully.

The 'ANH:R Visual Comparison' (on doubleofive's site) really showed off the many impressive changes in STAR WARS:Revisited in an at-a-glance way.  I'm hopeful that there'll be a similar look at the various enhancements on ESB:R etc. too, eventually.  

I think he has a visual comparrison for the ESB:R trailer. you know, i think i'm going to go watch that...

Just overlay a yellow rectangle around the border of the entire movie, with text underneath that reads "everything highlighted in yellow has been altered." :)

But then the entire screen would be yellow through the whole thing :-p

Personally I think it would be a real shame to drop the idea of a subtitle commentary track showcasing the changes and additions to the film. My suggestion would be to cover the more major ones and forget about the smaller ones...you know, keep it manageable

Well, i know the youtube version of the trailer has notes added to each scene of what was redone or added if that's what you mean.

Who's talking about trailers? This is about the commentary track on Ady's DVD release...

Edit - Clarification: Text commentary.

Don't remember if this has been addressed already and bla bla bla.

Opening crawl reads:

"Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth."

But we never see him lead now do we? Sure, he's commanding Rogue Group during the Battle of Hoth - but that's on a mere tactical level.

Furthermore, while the Rebels regroup, he leaves for Dagobah on a strict personal errand for who knows how long. This is surely not the actions of someone who is part of strategic command.

Now, the one who's actually operating within the Rebel command center making strategic decisions (along with General Rieekan) is in fact Leia Organa. She's also the one giving the pre-battle briefing as well as the last post-battle orders. And contrary to Luke, her being separated from the Rebels regroup is not by personal choice.

Thus, the crawl should read:

"Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Leia Organa has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth."

BUT, since the following passage reads: "The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker", we have to establish Luke's name somewhere in the crawl:

"Although the Death Star has been destroyed by Luke Skywalker, Imperial troops have driven" etc etc, and Bob's your uncle.

Just a thought and bla bla bla ;-)

Maybe Luke was just in charge of establishing the base?  And then the really important personnel started arriving afterwards.

I think this makes a lot of sense.

I really like this idea, steamboy, but I doubt Ady will go for it.

If you read the Crawl, "A group of freedom fighters led my Luke Skywalker" refering that he is leading Rogue Squadron. It does say they established a new base on Hoth, meaning they found a planet suitable enough to hide from the Empire.

And changing "young Skywalker" to "Luke" doesn't need to change. We are refering to Darth Vader speaking and that is what he called him majority of the movie
