Hello, everyone. I'm new here. This is my first post.

I purchased The Complete Saga BD set and I'm very interested in restoring some of the cut scenes to Episode IV. I have experience with Photoshop, Premiere, and AfterEffects. Although some of the deleted footage has a tremendous amount of dust and scratches, I'm certain that I can clean them up enough for splicing them into a new edit.

Over the weekend I experimented with inserting those scenes with appropriate wipe transitions, subtle music edits, and a few sound effects. The results were impressive enough for me to seriously consider doing my own fan edit.

But before I dive into a hobby project that will take several months, I wanted to find out if other people on the internet were doing the same thing. I'd rather combine efforts instead of working independently on the same thing. That's how I found this forum and this thread.

I can't believe that I've never heard of Adywan's edit before now. I read the description and I will give it a view. Before I say much more about my ideas for a fan edit, I should see other edits by other fans that have been done in the past.

Nevertheless, I know that the deleted scenes can be cleaned up enough to look acceptable on a standard definition DVD. Especially if it is edited into the original 1977 version that was released in 2006.
