Your workprints are pretty good but for me it's all about your original V1.0. That is by far my favorite way to watch ROTJ. There's just one problem with it, the poor video quality. When I watch the OT in HD a lot of times I want to finish it with your V1.0 but it's such a drop in quality I usually don't. I know you said you don't have what it takes to make an HD version but maybe someone else could. It would be ideal if someone could take Harmy's upcoming ROTJ 2.0 in all it's despecialized, color-corrected, high-definition glory and use your V1.0 to make the ultimate HD edit of Return of the Jedi. I know you probably would want to move the Yoda scene to the beginning and make other alterations but I think V1.0 is great as it is and if it was upgraded to HD would just be the HD V1.0 also and you could go from there with other HD edits.

I'm working on an HD version of Jedi right now - but it's the radical edit, not the original one. Do you have the DVD of version 1 or the AVI? If it's the AVI it's an Xvid, which would certainly explain the poor quality. Thankfully I've discovered x264 since then.

But I wish you could go back to the original or the first workprint and make that HD. All the post-1983 stuff ruins it for me, it doesn't look right in ROTJ IMO. What would you think of making two HD edits? One could be radical and the other one without any stuff after 1983. If not, could I get version 1 from you; the DVD version because I only have the Xvid. I'm sorry to bother you it's just that your Version 1 was awesome and IMO the best edit of ROTJ. Your first workprint 'Father and Son' edit was great too, but I thought all the radical stuff after that was going to far.
