Unless the person I traded with was mistaking, I believe those SHOULD be the EditDroid extras. I have them somewhere and I know I have a 4th disc....

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but those screen shots are of the Rowman bonus disc set. If you're lucky, some copies may have an .nfo file included helping to identify the discs.

There's is also a 4th Rowman disc 'Definitive Laserdiscs Extras - The RowMan Transfer' with all the extras from the Definitive Collection Laserdisc set.

Russ's galactictradefederation.co.uk site is invaluable for info & screengrabs of this sort of thing:

Info and screengrabs of the Editdroid set here

There's also a bit of background to both sets in this thread:

From what I remember, the "The Ultimate Supplemental Collection" by RowMan was designed to look like the Editdroid releases. This was in the days before we knew of the existance of the Editdroid Four Disc Special Features Set.

Do the "Making of Star Wars" & the other documentaries have the Japanese subtitles or are these sets subtitle free? I have the Editdroid set (which is now available in a.b.starwars) but i would love to be able to get hold of this set if possible, if anyone could help me out.

The 'Makings ofs' on the Rowman discs are subtitle free. I can't find anything to back it up but I thought they were taken from the vhs releases. It's also worth noting that the two documentaries on the Jedi disc are at half resolution (352x480) to fit them both on a single DVD.

The other thing about them - at least the Jedi ones - are that they seem to be from a different transfer of the documentaries. I once tried using these version to cover the subtitles on the Japanese transfers, and aside from colour and contrast differences, the framing was different between the two versions, and it required a lot of warping to get the two versions to match up, which ultimately made the exercise impractical.

Thanks for the answer, s7en. I do have that Definitive Collection disc, so that means I have the complete Row47 set...I think. (see immediately below)

You know what's funny, though? When I put those discs I put pics of up there into the computer, the name is always 'ED_SW_BONUS' or something like that. Why would it say ED if they aren't the EditDroid set?

So...I have none of the EditDroid bonus discs, I guess. I'm a bit confused now! :p (see immediately above)

I think the best explanation is what was described in that quote I took from the Editdroid Special Features thread:

From what I remember, the "The Ultimate Supplemental Collection" by RowMan was designed to look like the Editdroid releases. This was in the days before we knew of the existance of the Editdroid Four Disc Special Features Set.

So Rowman originally created his set to be 'unofficial' bonus discs to the Editdroid OT movie DVDs. However, at that time, no one knew the Editdroid team had also produced their own 'official Editdroid' Special Features Set.

Both sets are worth having as they feature different content, although both share the 'Making of' docs taken from different sources. And you're in luck as the four 'official' Editdroid Special Features discs are currently being posted to alt.binaries.starwars.

Hope that helps.

It does help. (I missed that quote for some reason) That does sounds familiar, too...from a long time ago.

Rikter lists SW & ESB from domestic laserdisc and the Jedi two from VHS.

Did RowMan use the Blaksvn transfers?

adywan, I could probably post those next week if nobody else beats me to it

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

Yes, confirmed by RowMan himself here.

IIRC it was Rikter's hermano Blaksvn who did the capture.

ESB bonus disc is posting to a.b.starwars now.

It's version 2.0 shown on Russs' site

I thought Rikter WAS Blaksvn?
