With all this talk of 'The Purist' etc, is there anywhere I could find a copy (PAL) and 'Revisited' (PAL-DVD-9) as i only have the NTSC DVD-9......I might have a muck about with them.
J
Purist is only NTSC, FYI.

Well then I wouldn't need the PAL Revisited DVD-9 to make a hybrid of the 2

It's on fanedit.info

Purist was taken off the fanedit site and as far as I know has not been put back up yet. It was deemed too close to the original work and taken down.
Oops, sorry J, misread your post.
The Purist may still make it to .info, I've been told they are debating it but there is a lot going on right now with the forum redesign.
No problem Frink, gonna do some tests with a short DVD to see if I can replace the original title with another slightly modified one and keep the original menu structure......, if it works Muddyknees is gonna post me a copy of his Purist disc then I'll try the edit...........that's the plan.

well like to know what Lucas was thinking when he added the wrong arm and so much blood...
The blood is easy to explain: they hadn’t yet come up with the idea that a lightsaber cut cauterizes the wound and prevents bleeding. I think they came up with that idea when filming ESB so Luke wouldn’t be suffering massive blood loss during his final confrontation with Vader.
Perhaps that’s something that should have been corrected for ANH-97 or -04. Whatever.
Time is running out for the Rebels. Antilles upcourt to Skywalker. He’s being paced by Darth Va— the bone-jarring pick by Solo! He came out of nowhere! Skywalker’s open from way outside, he launches at the buzzer... Good! It’s good! The Rebels win on a sensational buzzer beater by Luke Skywalker! Let’s take another look at that last shot. He just does get it off in time. Wow, what a shot. That’s why they call him Luke Legend.
That may be the most exciting battle I have ever been privileged to broadcast. Certainly the most dramatic finish. We’ll get you an update on the Artoo Detoo injury situation in just a moment. Right now let’s go courtside where SuperShadow is waiting with Chewbacca.
Well, bad news...
Purist was ultimately rejected for inclusion on .info. :-(
I did my best, including getting the backing of a very helpful admin over there who screened it for me and agreed 100% that it should be included. Unfortunately our arguments fell on deaf ears. I still don't understand why, but I'm ready to let this rest. And so the "where can I get this" posts shall continue, sadly.
adywan, I was told that they could at least update the edit page on fanedit.org to include the info on Purist - is that something you care about?
Sad. I don't understand why only having 240 changes isn't enough, but the 4 or five things that were changed back make it unacceptable over there.TV's Frink said:

Do they have Darth Editous' version of ANH on fanedit.info?
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?
Yep, it's listed there.
That's some really bad news about the purist. I really can't understand why they won't include it. If this is the way they view the purist then there is no way they would include ESB:R then. But it will be interesting to see what they do when its released.
If they accept Darth Editous' version but not yours, Adywan, then it's obvious they're not operating on logic here.
My guess is, they denied the Purist because its name makes it sound like a restoration. Maybe they want to avoid the appearance of promoting a restoration, even though they know it's not.

By the logic they give, ESBR won't be able to be on there at all.

I think they say that is closer to a preservation of the original version than a fan edit. Frink seems to know more, but it sounds to me like the rest of the decision makers (a) haven't seen it or (b) haven't read the Change List where a HUGE majority of the changes are still applicable.cap said:

It certainly has a lot more changes than the rather good The Big Sleep hybrid (and that could almost be argued to be a partial restoration of a lost cut).
I fail to see how one can be up and not the other.
Not to mention: doesn't Fanedit.org have a restoration/extended edits section? I guess as long as it's on theparadox, that'll be just as easy to find as fanedit.org...

Restorations were moved to the Preserve site.
If that's their label for the Purist version why not host it there?
I didn't say they consider it a restoration. In fact, I'm not quite sure myself why the decision was made. If someone wants to dig back through the thread, they'll find Throwgncpr's explanation of why the previous team made the same decision - I'm guessing it's the same reason this time round.
I'll see if I can get an official explanation, but no promises.
I gave a copy of ANHR to someone here at work this morning and told her all about it, now another coworker called and he wants one too. He called it "that kick-ass Star Wars movie". Neither of them have even watched it yet.
I can see this getting out of hand really fast. ;-)

That's how things went at my work too. I gave a copy to another teacher and was flooded with requests for information about it from the entire department!
