I love all the clips that have been posted so far Mike, if not only for the restoration work then your analysis and thoughts on each shot. Really interesting stuff for a Star Wars fan.

A couple years ago when I was working on pulling the most out of the 2006 bonus DVD as possible, I came across tons of things that seemed pretty weird to me, not knowing much about how everything in the film was done, or in 70's film at all.

There are some of these shots I am personally very interested in knowing your thoughts about, and maybe it would be nice as future videos about your restoration work on them. I didn't want to clutter your forum with this so I'm going to post them here instead.

First of all: Splicing glue marks. (is that the correct term?) They are all over the film but especially in almost every shot's first or last frame in the scenes on Tatooine. Did they appear like this in the tech prints? If so, what will you do to clean them up? Some examples:

In the Death Star battle there's this shot at around timecode 1.44.26 in the 2006 bonus DVD that has a line running over it on the right side. What is it? Is it in the tech print too and how will it be handled?

At around timecode 1.45.29 there's a shot of a Tie fighter chasing an X-wing and the starfield is full of dark "blobs" that appear in different areas during the shot.

And here's one I'm especially interested in what the heck it is. A cockpit shot of Biggs around 1.48.40 where there's one frame where the background element turns blue behind his face and has some big black mark in it.

And finally, a cockpit shot at 1.49.52 where a big horizontal line appears in one frame.

I would love to see videos about these shots in the future if possible.

Thanks for everything that has been posted so far!
