Olie, I'm not sure if you're allowed to directly link to fanedit.info. You might want to remove that link.
The rest is right. Although at some point I'm going to release AOTR to Vimeo like I did for TRM. I'd like to do another live viewing party to celebrate but I need to find a time that works, probably after the new year.
Oh, and this thread bump reminded me - AOTR has very few reviews on IFDb. Any new reviews there would be very much appreciated.

Whoops, I didn't realize that. It's fixed now.
Happy New Year!

I love how Artoo and Threepio are the only lucid ones. It makes for some great comedy.
Nice work, Mr. Frink.
I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.
Thank you to matrixgrindhouse for the review on fanedit.info, especially this part...
There is, a significant problem with the frame rate on the DVD version, however. It appears to have been rendered as 30 frame per second progressive video. Normally, a primarily 24p feature film sourced edit such as this would have been rendered as a 30 frame per second, 60 field per second interlaced format flagged as 24p. That would have resulted in the standard 3:2 pulldown effect. The way this edit has been rendered results in uneven frame repeats, which is visually jarring. It would also interfere with attempts to IVTC the material for viewing on a 120hz display with 1:1 frame repeats. I suspect any attempts to speed it up for a PAL display would also be problematic. If you have no idea what any of this paragraph means, you'll probably not notice any sort of visual flaws whatsoever. But if you have an overly critical eye for such details such as myself, it's going to probably gnaw at you a little. It isn't unwatchable by any means, but this issue can be corrected quite easily with a re-render.
As it turns out, the culprit was DVD Architect. Since I don't have the Pro version, it insists on recompressing video because it doesn't support 24p video. Fortunately, I still had my original encoded file, and Captain Khajiit over at FE.org showed me a way (outside of Architect) to replace the recompressed video with the original encoded video.
There is a new DVD now available on info. It includes the fixed framerate version of the main movie, an extra 2-minute bonus feature (a split-screen comparison of the diner scenes from AOTR and Seinfeld), and a snazzy new title ("14th Month Anniversary Edition") on the main menu.
Unfortunately the download link on info also includes an extremely NSFW picture along with the dlc. I did not upload that and have asked for it to be removed.
Big thanks to matrixgrindhouse, Captain Khajiit, and also ThrowgnCpr for valuable input and feedback. :-)
Now there are two versions of them!
Where were you in '77?
This is fantastic.
^I've never been in love with a song before ... until now.
A while back, someone at Michigan St. University screened TRM during finals week. I guess last December he/she screened AOTR.

The link for the DVD cover still works
But I can’t find the disc art. Does anyone still have it?
Send me a PM, I’ll see if the guy who did it still has it.
WTF…you could have at least asked me first. And what cuts to the audio did you make?
Major breach of forum etiquette, dude.

It’s all on vimeo anyway, why do this?

Oh wow some clickbait
AOTRSE suggestion:
Mace Windu: “You know, m’lady, that Duke Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn’t assassinate anyone. It’s not in his character bio on Wookieepedia.”
No idea how to accomplish but I laughed.
Vimeo links removed because rules. You can find them on fanedit.org.
