I can’t speak for Darth Lucas about the recreation of the 81 crawl, but my purpose has been to recreate what was seen on LD and home video.
I think that sums it up well: you’re recreating the home video experience, whereas the SSE aims to recreate the cinema experience. I’m not saying that Rob should use one or the other for the BD ISO, just that I’d prefer the scan not the recreation. Perhaps he could simply make an alternate MT2S file that we could use as a drop-in replacement? That way everyone’s happy. 😃
Also Rob (& others who worked on v1.5), great work on this!! I haven’t had a chance to look it through yet. I love the name “Silver Screen Edition” and I think you should keep it.
As for branching that some people have said isn’t seamless - this could be because the playlist settings are not correct. When I open up the playlists in BDEdit they show a 10 minute in-time instead of 10 seconds (11.650 seconds is usually what I see on commercial discs) - Rob you might want to fix that, even if it means opening up the playlists in BDEdit and changing them manually after the disc is built. Also, I noticed you didn’t include the Teaser scan - it would be nice to include that on the next version if possible. Also the menus should be set up in the same way, and they aren’t in the SW 1.5 ISO (i.e. 11.65 seconds in-time and first item has a value of “1” under “c” column while other items are “5”), again you can change all those values using BDEdit after the disc is built if needed and it should work fine (but make sure you test it and keep a backup of the playlists). 😃
Here’s a graphic showing what I mean.
