Just a quickie...I can't take credit/blame for much of what y'all are complaining about; daneditor changed Jabba's dialogue and used the present opening sequence, which apparently you don't like.  He also did most of the Vader/Luke contact , which you did like.  I enjoyed a lot of his edit, so I used his as a base.  I recommend you PM him for links so you know what I actually didn't do.  Or perhaps I should specify what his changes were, when I've got more time.  The Eclipse I take full responsibility for, because for some reason I've really like the idea of including it.  I've also been playing with a different opening (which at the present is not fully fleshed out), so perhaps that will be different in any subsequent edits.  Overall, I am glad that you like even some of the ideas, because at this point, all my crummy little edit can serve as is a basket full of ideas.

I do want to make (or at least expand upon) another disclaimer: many of the scenes I included will look really crummy.  Many I just grabbed from YouTube rather than rely on my own ripped material (even though I legally own a bunch of the videos).  Sometimes sound was completely out of place, and so I silenced a bunch of things as well, particularly with the space battle.  And many of the shots will look really lame at times.  It's just the sources.  My editing skills and software are so limited that basically I just threw together a bunch of other folks' work.  Again, it's all for ideas, so I hope you will critique the ideas more than the visual/audio quality of anything.

That said, thanks for watching so far, and I hope you like at least some of it.  In the end, I hope it boosts peoples' interest in ROTJ edits and provides some useful ideas.  I think a lot can be done to make this movie great!  That's all I really hope for.  Again, thanks for watching any, and I hope you get through the rest :)
