Does it move at all, like a loose thread? That could be removed in Combustion. I was able to remove similar stuff in ANH, like tape splices.

IIRC it's completely static, so do you think it can be removed sucessfully?Combustion... that sounds like it would be difficult for an amatuer like me to handle, maybe you're able to help out with this project?

And yes, this thread is mainly about getting the "restored original cut" Lucas was able to release post SW, SilverWook have sent me several fine captures of his US and Japanese Laserdisc, in addition to that, Nerfherder also sent his capture of the UK LD, so we have a lot to work with. :) I just haven't started on it as I wanted to finish the Italian cut before moving on with this.

I've also sent the captures to dark_jedi in the hopes to get some help with this as my computer is not really suitable for this task when it comes to it, last I talked with him they still hadn't showed up which makes me a little nervous as it was more than two weeks ago.

erri_wan, just take your time. that went fast, Thanks. ;)
