What about the scene where Luke is born, that would be different.
It might even be worth doing another version of the Heresy mix Episode III style...

That said, recasting is an awful thing. Especially going from Liam Neeson to some no name voice actor. Of course apparently he did have Ben Burtt experimenting altering his voice digitally and that didn't work out, and if they were going to do that, they might as well have given the guy from Clone Wars a call.

I don't know, maybe getting a good enough voice actor would have been swell, but then again, lucas probably wouldn't have done any directing so the scene would come off as lifeless as most everything has been in the PT.

I see about the SFX. It's just a simple matte problem, that LFL apparantly couldn't be bothered to touch.

I'd love to see this as well as a full color version of the Luke / Treadwell scene from the first one. Maybe someone could talk the guys who put together One More Season to do it. It was cheesy, but watching Luke work on the vaperator in full color blew me away.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. D_E has talked about fixing up ESB and ROTJ a la the way he did ANH. I for one didn't touch up any SFX since I just don't posess the know-how.

I second this motion, especially since I haven't able to track down a copy of that damn DVD to begin with.
I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.
Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

And here is a subrip someone did. I had to clean it up some, but it should be fine. It'll have to be tweaked for a re-edited version of the film anyway (which would I suppose include the official DVD release): http://adventureclub.postrock.net/botw.srt

As one who saw all three films on screen in their first runs (not to mention countless nights in college going to trilogy parties long before the SE), the O-OT still means more to me than the Special Editions. Therefore I'm eagerly awaiting the results of the X0 project to give me back the SW as I know it truly to be. But for now, if the SE's are what we have (in good DVD quality, anyway), then I was merely concerned with righting the wrongs I saw from 1997 and 2004. The Han/Greedo thing in ANH and the Hayden/Shaw thing in ROTJ were the most ham-handed character betrayals. Lapti Nek was a character in itself for me because of my old ties to that song (playing it at every Friday night game for five years will endear you to a song). Fett's voice was a character in itself. And one with a very worn out first edition paperback of Star Wars, Biggs and Jabba were characters too, so I was quite glad to see their scenes back in.
Back when ROTJ was out, we were all saying "I want my MTV." Now we're all saying "I want my O-OT."

an amazing job, ADM. The picture and sound quality
are all top notch. Loved the choice of music for the pod race. Loved
Jabba's subtitles in IV. Loved the easter egg at the
end! haha! And yes, I'm happy Sebastian Shaw is
finally back where he belongs.
I think the film that was improved the most by your
edits was Episode II. Great, great decisions you
made. All of the deleted scenes work so much better
than the ones they used in the theatrical release. In
particular, I was shocked at how you changed the entire context
of the meadow scene just by cutting it before showing
that he was joking about "Well...If it works..." And
then she gives a concerned look, like "warning sign!"
Gives the entire scene a much more grim context and
adds an entirely new level of subtext into the
following scenes, and it makes the viewer more
sympathetic to Padme's decision to hold off on the
romance. Absolutely stunning how one simple edit can
add so much to the story. Seriously, my jaw dropped.
Later, I liked the Death Star references thrown in to
the subtitles. I always thought that it was important
to actually SAY "Death Star" in that scene, and you've
acheived that.
Everything else was pretty much in line with how I
would've done it. All the superfluous little moments
with Jar-Jar and so forth were rightly excised.
Those who haven't seen this need to. I'm looking forward to Episode III.

This was actually a problem I had with the edit of Episode II. His response is just so dark and surprising and her look indicates something ominous. Then it just cuts. There's no follow up. The moment is played up and Padme acknowledges there's something wrong with him, but there's nothing. It's kinda like a twist on a TV show. A character reveals a big twist, the music rises to a dramatic height and it cuts to a commercial break. But here you never get back to it. It's a dangling thread. It's just so shocking for the Padme character that I can't believe she can shrug it off like this cut implies. I kinda like the bit from the original movie because there's nowhere else to go but to either A) have a heated discussion of politics with Anakin or B) cut the tension with a joke. It's like you knew he wasn't really joking, but he goes along with the notion that it is a joke because he knows he went too far. Actually, I don't know if this is how it comes across in the original movie, but I like to think of it this way. of the meadow scene just by cutting it before showing
that he was joking about "Well...If it works..." And
then she gives a concerned look, like "warning sign!"
But it's still a great edit of the movie and there were a lot of great decisions made, but this and several other cuts just feel like they stop in the middle of a scene.

And I think the reason the edits feel to you like they cut in the middle of a scene, is because they do. This happens with the theatrical cut of every film. It's called editing. We just don't realize it because we haven't seen the entire scene, we see the parts the director wants us to see. You've watched the Star Wars saga a million times and you've gotten used to the flow of the George Lucas version. I don't think that fact can be used in criticism of ADigitalMan's editing skills or whether or not his edit of the film is good.
Watch this one enough times and your memory of the original version will be hazy at best, as has happened with the OT after almost ten years of watching the Special Edition.
