There's a few times where I think you'd have to include non-DVD footage, and they're all in ROTJ.

The Jabba musical number, the sarlacc, Sebastian's eyebrows, and the ghosting.

Yeah, I haven't really thought what I'd do with ROTJ yet. Certainly the Jabba musical number has to go, but I hope I can just chop around it without having to resort to lower quality footage. I was going to leave the Sarlacc alone - the only part I have a problem with is when that guy falls in and supposedly gets snapped up by the beak, yet he doesn't seem to slow down at all. The eyebrows are a good change! The ghost also has to be replaced. I may vidcap it multiple times on different equipment to reduce noise - I had some slight success on a test I ran on the stars at the beginning of ANH.

And believe me, the described ANH is AMAZING. Wow, that'd be great to have sitting on my desk.
The ultimate Special Edition, the way it should have been the first time.


I did toy with calling it "The Ultimate Edition" but that would be a bit big-headed of me

I've got a couple of things in mind for ESB - cutting out Vader's new lines, because it doesn't sound like James Earl-Jones, even though they say it's him, and replacing Luke's "You were lucky to get out of there," with "You're lucky you don't taste so good," from the SE. Thankfully Lucas already removed Luke's scream
