Thank you! =) Thanks , everyone. We're now at T'Bone's StarWarz.com ... and the first parts have already been downloaded over 365 times ...
>>With all your features on alternate audio, I was surprised you didn't mention Ben's new dragon call.
Special edition/2004 DVD changes are not part of this edit, except in very minor cases. I'm basically concentrating on versions that would have been in existence in 1977.
The 2004 dragon call did wind up in part 6 instead of the old one -- this was not intentional ... I just didn't take the time to go back to the laserdisc version and get the old call. I might put the old one back on the final DVD. But I wouldn't do a comparison, as that's post-special edition stuff.
>>Also, do you plan on finalizing this in DVD format when it's all said and done?
You better believe it. The final DVD is planned to have lots of extra material and be generally glorious.
>>Very nice work so far! An obvious result of much time and care spent on your part.
Thanks!
>> Could you please check on Part 2? It appears that the end of the clip is possibly corrupt. Perhaps from an incomplete upload? I know you mentioned in another post that this clip had been revised.
Your previous post refers to a file size of 24.5MB but the downloaded file is only 24.2MB. I sure don't want to miss anything!
Yep! I'm amazed someone actually noticed this. I am on a dialup connection, so it's often hard to get files this big uploaded properly, and quickly. In the case of part 2, the upload crashed just as it was finishing. Since basically all of the file was there, I chose not to reupload in this case.
I can't download it myself, so does it actually look corrupt?
I doubt you've actually missed anything - the clip should end with Vader's aide talking to him as they walk down the hallway, with a caption about Kurosawa's classic "The Hidden Fortress."
