best method for converting PAL ac3 5.1 to NTSC ac3 5.1

You could use BeSweet as Moth3r recommends and get a difference on the number of frames. Then do a time compress/expand of the audio in a higher-end app like Vegas.

Once you have the number of frames for the target, I would load the AC3 into Womble and export as a WAV file. Then load that WAV into Vegas, normalize the audio, perform the stretch/squeeze to the number of frames, and export back to AC3. Womble is a great way-station for AC3-to-WAV conversions, where other tools I've used can cause changes in the length or introduce digital pops.

While I felt the Kashyyyk sequences were gratuitous, I also didn't hate them (aside from the Tarzan yell). If they bug you, you should certainly excise them though. Remember, you're making YOUR vision and if removing them makes it a better experience for you, there's no reason to leave them in.

Would the relevant portion of Order 66 stay in? That's the only bit that affects the plot.

A Heart-Warming Message from the RIAA

Until the RIAA demonstrably proves to me that they are trying to increasing my sales as an independent artist, I will never buy into their rhetoric. The recording industry has done dick for my music. By killing Napster and the file-sharing community, they have decimated one of the best chances I have had to increase underground interest in my music. Corporate radio sure as hell isn't an outlet for discovering talent anymore, and Karaoke and country line dancing have killed live music dead in the small clubs and bars.

I hate the RIAA (and to a lesser extent the MPAA) because of their unwillingness to embrace new technologies and develop a proper way to monetize them. To the RIAA: You are killing my livelihood.

To the MPAA: Your FBI logos in front of my store-bought DVDs are doing absolutely, positively nothing to curb pirates AND they're pissing me off because I, who paid good money, can't skip past the annoying messages every time I put the damn DVD in the player. Hell, even VHS let us fast-forward. And with regards to my fan-editing projects, if you'd develop a reasonable royalty calculation method by which I (or downloaders) could pay for distributing fan-edits the way I do to all musicians when I cover their material, then you'd stand to make money off of my hobby. As it stands, neither of us do. Because I will not capitalize on what you won't allow in the first place, even though the market shows there is a demand.

Sorry, what I said was probably a little confusing. I meant it was the same cue as Yoda's Farewell (though apparently there are some differences with what music leads into it) but it should be placed before Padme's Funeral in the order.

I hope you take on Ep II. I tried this exercise once and was daunted, lazy, or perhaps simply otherwise involved in a re-edit ... probably a combination of all three. The guide at JWFan.net looked promising and I started to download the various source bits from somebody's server, but just didn't follow through. I'd bet you could do it though. The bits are certainly out there.
