Woah! Thanks for those links!

VADER: "Lucas never told you who was Star War's father."
LUKE: "He told me enough! He told me he was."
VADER: "No. Ralph McQuarrie is Star War's father."
LUKE: "No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!"
VADER: "Search the Internet and you'll know it to be true."

OBI-WAN: "Star Wars will be yours ... always."

GOUT chapters

Ah, I didn't realize it was exactly the same as the retail releases.

But GOUT has different chapters than DC laserdisc, DC different than SWE LD, etc...
So which is correct? ;)

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Thanks. For a second there, I thought I deleted the corrected version.

I have a bit of a request, could someone please get me the Star Wars trailers and TV spots from the NTSC 2004 DVD? I have the PAL disc, but it has the sped up audio, plus some weird interlacing issue.

Nonsense. We're living in a dictatorship!

Sorry, I have the same disc version. But aren't them on YouTube?

I don't know if this would be going a bit too far, but I can provide text versions for each of the language options in their own language. One thing that's always hard for me watching imported discs is, for example, trying to figure out which set of Japanese characters means "English", let alone which ones mean "Setup Options", "Subtitles", etc...

A language-neutral interface could potentially be done, at least for the main feature and language options, by using icons in addition to text for audio (speakers icon), subtitles (screen with dots along the bottom), and play movie (movie camera). Then each language option could be listed in its native language (optionally also in English). Not sure how you'd handle the other descriptive text like "1978 theatrical 2.0".

Anyway, I like the idea of someone not having to know a word of English to navigate the menus and watch the film with audio or subs in their own language. How hard that would be is another matter entirely.

I hate when they use icons for stuff like this in menus. It looks horrible and it's confusing sometimes- like in the E.T. BD.

And I'm pretty sure almost everyone knows the name of their language in English and it could be really hard to do what with different scripts and stuff.

I've still yet to complete the rest of the menus but if you want the PSD templates, just feel free to PM me.

The menus do look good, but in all honesty if we're going for authenticity in presenting the original theatrical version as close as possible, then wouldn't it make sense to not use "Despecilized Version" on the main menu screen and just save that for the bonus features?

No, because the menu is not actually part of the movie itself. If anything, I consider the "Despecialized Edition" label to be something of a quality assurance seal, where I can be assured that Greedo won't shoot first, Jabba was nowhere near Docking Bay 94, and gratuitous CG won't smack me in the face. As it is, there are a number of official movie releases that contain their special edition titles in the menus. For instance, the T2 Extreme Edition DVD shows that title twice before getting to a point where it's possible to play the movie, and the first of the two appearances has an elaborate animation where the title forms from liquid metal.

If Harmy pasted it into the opening crawl or something, you'd have a case. But he's long since earned the right to apply his stamp to any menus. Just as I'm perfectly ok with not having all the correct 1977-era movie trailers playing before the movie starts, I'm perfectly ok with a subtitle that reminds me of Harmy's tireless efforts to give us the version of Star Wars George Lucas doesn't want us to have. There's no such thing as theatrical accuracy anyway when it comes to a DVD or Blu-ray menu.

Thanks for making the case for the DeEd, Klasodeth, but this was actually discussed before I have have said that I have no intention of putting the Despecialized Edition title in the main menu.

I did notice a couple of points I'd like to ask about if you ever decide to do a V3.0, but I don't want to take anything away from what you've achieved here. Great work!
