Hi Dennis,  I feel your pain, man!  I'm an american living in Brazil and my wife has never seen Star Wars, so I'm trying to prep a version for her with the best subtitles, which I thought would be pretty straight forward, until I found different subs from different releases.  And then trying to make sure I had the most recent titles and the ones that made the most sense.  I know dubs and subtitles on older films instances like Star Wars that are re-released, the subs/dubs are updated, seemingly with more care and accuracy to the film.  Especial since Star Wars is a pop culture thing now, certain words and ideas have worked their way into the newer dubs that didn't exist 30 years ago when the 80's dubs were made.  As an editor, and of course lover of Star Wars, I can understand wanting to have that perfect definitive edition of what you want.

And at the same time, being an editor, I can understand Catbus not wanting to go back and replace a dub every time a new request comes in.  You have to draw the line somewhere.  

But it is very nice to have people like both of you that are out there trying to help make Star Wars the best it can be!  As always, it's fun to follow this thread.  This topic hit home for me, so I thought I'd chime in.
