Not to hijack the thread, but for those who are interested, today I will be muxing an mkv of the 1981 version of the film to post on the spleen. In case you want that version, but not necessarily the whole BD disc I’m authoring with all the bells and whistles.
It is as most of you know based on Towne32’s regrade as a base with a few select scenes and sequences regraded by me and my 1981 crawl/flyover spliced into the beginning.
You’re more than welcome to post here, especially since I started this project by posting in your thread!
If you hadn’t read, Harmy has been kind enough to allow me to call my next release a Despecialized 2.6 the way he did for Laserschwert with ESB 2.1 essentially.
Not to stifle your impending upload. But if you want to wait for that version it will have all the upgrades we’re discussing here and might make things less confusing for people.
As is, I’ll already need to explain that what was to be Recolorized 1.2 (DeED 2.5) is now DeED 2.6 (Towne32) in both branching BD and MKV versions for both crawls. It would be great to have your Proper 1981 crawl version on top of all that. But it would be easier for folks to follow, I think, if you could call it 2.6 (1981) or something instead of something like: Towne 32’s Recolorized (V1) version of Harmy’s 2.5 but with replaced crawl. 😃 Since the V1 is going to be out of date and the nomenclature altered thanks to Harmy’s generosity. But if you actually don’t like some of the features of the next version, then by all means do as you’re doing. Just trying to avoid confusing people.
I can stick with calling my crawl ANH, and you can stick with 1981, to be accurate on that note.
