For ANH, most likely I'll be doing two angles for the crawl, where one is the "A New Hope" crawl and the other is the original. Sabers will be redone also. What I'd really like to do is one of those seamless branching things where you can choose to view the film with or without my video enhancements. We'll see how that goes.

While I really like to hear the pre-ANH version, I have two concerns/questions:
1. The sabers. I say leave them be, or at least put them in as alternate angles or something that can be chosen as well because my take, especially on a pre-ANH version, is to preserve the original video and audio as much as possible, which leads me to my next point.
2. Soundtrack. Since there is a VHS tecline that I hear has a quite good copy of the original mono track and MeBeJedi is working to synch this with the video, will you be using this? I'd strongly suggest that as at least an option, as I'd love to hear all the old changes and this would be in line with preserving the original as much as possible.
But this is your set so of course I'm leaving this entirely up to you - it's not like I have any say in it anyway, haha, but I don't want you to think I'm pulling a DanielB and bitching at you for not doing it my way.
