I've done a "draft edit" of the first half of ANH. It sucks but it's just an experiment. The video ends with Han, Chewie, Luke, Obi-wan and the droids in the small room.

The following changes have been made against the original source (PAL DVD encode):

* All segments have been slowed down to 23.976 fps.
* The FOX/Lucasfilm logo is the 1977 one (but with the 2004 music).
* "Look Sir, Droids" - restored from DE.
* Binary Sunset sequence - restored from DE.
* Original Krayt Dragon call restored.
* Entrance to Mos Eisley restored from DE.
* Wolfman restored.
* Greedo shooting Han removed; the scene now plays the same as in the 1977 version.
* Jabba scene excised.
* Alderaan explosion restored from DE; but with the sound tweaked (small bits of static; thin layer of brown noise; bass expansion on the right channel)
* A shot of an officer being shot in the chest soon after Han et al exit the Falcon on board the Death Star, restored from DE.

No other changes. This is a draft, and I'll consider working on it further, if I can try to improve it.
