Can I be the first to say WOW! This is totally stunning work. God only knows how much thought must have gone into the reordering and how much searching around for alternate footage you must have done nevermind the brilliant work putting it all together. I can't wait to see how you've rescued the sandstorm footage. A jigsaw like masterpiece where the joins between the pieces are almost invisible.
I read a comment somewhere that the opening pan down onto endor looked a bit odd without a ship passing by. You've got me thinking how this could be solved.
My favourite bit is how you've switched up the meaning of the line "I've got a promise to keep to an old friend" by moving it to a different place in the narrative.
More! More!

Thanks!
The sandstorm scene is still pretty rough. I cleaned up the image somewhat with Avisynth, and then rebuilt the audio from scratch. I used some of the dialogue from the scene that ended up replacing it, with some Chewie roars and a 3P0 line from the ROTJ radio play thrown in.
Re: the "I've got a promise to keep to an old friend". Credit goes to Darth Ender for that. I just stole his great idea. :)
