Neat-o. I could see AvP upping the "fixed" version later on. He has done similar things before so people don't have to also download the tools and instructions and such.

Still seems a shame to do it for a split second of audio. I wonder how many would've really noticed if you hadn't of mentioned it. ;)

So Ady, would you consider doing RoTJ/ANH based projects in future if this one proves popular? Or is this a one time thing?

i think de-SEing ANH would be a hard task, as they weren't flat out new shots as they were adding things to existing shots, ruining them in the process. Same with RotJ, I would think.

 fingers crossed for a future ROTJ/SW project.

Yeah, that's a good point. Shame.

I think it would be possible to pull off for ANH - it would just require an Adywan-magnitude of perseverance to pull off. Start by using Adywan's AVCHD of  ANH-SE. Pop in a few scenes from ANH-R (like officer's getting blasted in the chest, the stormtrooper road-check in Mos Eisley, etc.). Then for the rest use a stabilized GOUT. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been tried yet.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

I'm just surprised overall that there have been...what, zero? projects based on ANH:R. Some have used some of the footage, of course, but I mean a real new edit based almost entirely on "fixing" ANH:R or using it as the foundation for something like you just mentioned. I guess people are really satisfied with either the DVD-9 or the Purist version.

It's in the same place as you downloaded the DVD from.  It now forms part of the collection; just tick the boxes for the new files to avoid redownloading everything, if you see what I mean.

Damn I really envy you folks with fast internet connections - we're stuck with 512mb max (yep!) here :s Looks like I'm going to have to miss the party with this one and watch it a later date - curses!

It's have to be the GOUT for me this Friday - still much better than nothing :)

 Oh you know, the only "correct" version I have is the 2006 DVD limited edition... I still don't know what version is what when you all speak and can't follow all your threads so far I don't understand anything to your video languages... I'll only enjoy my old version one of these days, still I may enjoy much more my old memories of this movie: it almost scared me the 1st time I saw it !

Oh, I had that same reaction, ABC: Empire scared me when I first saw it.  I kept expecting it to be like the first Star Wars, but instead it was dark and grim and the good guys lost (and Leia fell in love with the wrong man, funny how my 8 year old mind worked, haha).  It was only later that I came to appreciate how good a film it actually was.  I still like the first one the most, but Empire may well be the best, artistically speaking.

Wow, all three (ignoring the 2004)? Sounds like fun. Maybe watching them all in a row will help you see ESBR in a renewed light.
