I realize, that I'm pulling a bit of a Lucas about these - they are a rough draft of the DeEds and they don't exist for me anymore :-D

But I actually honestly don't have them anymore - I never burned them and I needed space on my HDD, so I deleted them some time ago and I can't find the links anywhere and they're probably dead by now anyway. (Yeah, I know, the negative has been altered, so the original elements don't exist anymore... LOL).

But if someone has the links or is willing to re-upload them, I wouldn't mind at all (though, it would be good to make it clear that they are not the DeEds).

You see, it's not really the concept of them not being fully despecialized that bothers me, it's the simple fact that they were really low technical quality - badly compressed and most of the despecializations were only bad (compared to some more recent effort) upscales of the GOUT or at best in ESB of Ady's Reconstruction. 

So, not to be like Lucas, I thought about it and I decided to redo the PDEs as well after v2.0s of the DeEds are done. It should be quite easy to just use the DeEd masters and cut some of the SE back in. It would be a version with some of the fixes (like the corridor extension in SW and such) left in but the offensive changes removed.

Now, it is down to discussion of course, what the offensive changes are for each film. For me, it would be all the bad CGI like the Rontos, Dewbacks and Jabba  in SW or the Sarlac beak in Jedi and any alterations designed to tie them in with the prequels. Those I think are obvious. Now what I'm not sure about are eg. the CGI fighters in the Yavin battle or the windows in cloud city.
