The Killbots from Chopping Mall (1986) would make great battle-droids for TPM and they're obscure, so most people wouldn't recognize them.
Guys. WTF.
What happened to my thread?!

In that scene, I much prefer Watto's subtitles being altered to something along the lines of "keep an eye on them. This could make me a lot of money" That way, anakin follows them on his orders, and originally you question which side he's on.
Good idea! I like where this is going.

Right now I'm comparing this against the 1982 vhs preservation. I expected it to look about the same but they are quite different looking I think. In color, panning and cropping.
The 1982 VHS uses the same master as the 1985 CAV LD.
The 1982 CLV LD is time-compressed and uses the same master as the 1982 CED and, possibly, the VHD.
JEDIT: IMO, the 1982 VHS / 1985 CAV LD is the most accurate colortiming reference of all the "official" releases.

What (who?) do ya'll think is responsible? Speculation begins now.
My prayers go out to everyone impacted by this terrible event. :-(
Anyone interested in a release?
I just downloaded the raw WOWOW rip of ROTLA from Usenet. It's Japanese-language dubbed and only has Japanese subtitles when English subtitles are on the screen, as far as I can tell. Here's an example: http://imageshack.us/a/img541/204/sample1tn.png

Because that's not what Revisited is about. It's not looking to alter the flow of the OT or change episode numbers.
I never suggested altering the flow of the OT. What I suggested wouldn't require changing the OT at all besides changing the episode numbering.
I suggested doing away with the PT; providing PT content as a follow-up supplement to the OT. That is, an extra episode after ANH, TESB, and ROTJ.

Not entirely true. Mike Verta was married to Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years) for a while. They had a son together.
Does the machine pull cover art from some WWW database or something?

That approach would be okay for an edit but not a revisited edit.
Can you expand on the "why" a little bit? I'm puzzled.
There seems to be some debate over how much of the PT is salvageable.
Here's an idea: Change Episode IV to Episode I, Episode V to Episode II, and Episode VI to Episode III.
Then, make an Episode IV that uses the best footage from the PT as a flashback.
You can start this new "Episode IV" with Luke and Obi-wan in Obi-wan's home on Tatooine and start the first flashback sequence just after "...and he was a good friend."
Scenes from the OT can drive what's shown. For instance, a flashback sequence to the birth of Luke and Leia can be shown after showing the clip of Leia claiming that she can remember her mother in ROTJ.
There's a lot of wiggle-room with this idea since it gives Adywan the ability to pick-and-choose what's best to show from the PT, as he'd be cutting 6+ hours down to 2.
Plus, it'd be great for us OT fans since scenes from the OT would be used to drive the story.
What do ya'll think?

Hoping someone from ot.com is on this.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Episode-VI-Return-of-the-Jedi-Rare-Super-8mm-Scope-Feature-Film-/400454509077?pt=US_Film&hash=item5d3cf2e215
I spoke with poita and he decided not to bid on it after being told by the seller that it's terribly blue-shifted and is a "blue mess" during the Ewok battle scenes.
Shocking, as I somehow thought Derann prints were immune to that sort of thing. As Jaxxon was watching the auction, I'll pass that info along. :)
As this was the same seller as that recent Star Wars print, I wonder if they've got the elusive Empire Super 8? (Not released by Derann.)
BTW, did anyone here get this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAKING-STAR-WARS-16mm-film-print-GREAT-COLOR-2-Reels-RARE-/290890548214
Derran did from time to time sell 'seconds' cheaply, this print is one of those, the final reel is literally a blue mess. The owner of the print didn't know that either when he bought it, the seller who sold it to him was also unaware.
Many Derran prints are never watched, they are collected and put on the shelf.
He doesn't have the super8 ESB, I can get a hold of one though, but it is around a grand. I'm trying to put together a way to do it. I'm thinking of maybe seeing if a bunch of people want to go in on it and be first to get a hold of the test scans and give feedback and be along for the journey so to speak.
If 20 people bought a $50 share each then we could get it, or if some people put in I could cover the shortfall, I'll start up a thread for it, I'd hate to see the opportunity pass. I've seen the ESB print in question and it is gorgeous.
Well, count me in!
Only 19 people left. :-)
That's a great idea, Dr. Bing Owings!

I e-mailed poita. Hopefully, he'll reply soon.

So if Lowry and Laser Pacific both scan the negative and get the same colour temp, what was the new scan colour based on?
The theatrical prints of Star Wars look very different from what's on the negative.
I imagine it's the same for RotLA.
Also, don't forget that the bulb used during projection can drastically change the colortiming.
The colortiming of the BD might be based on what a theatrical print looked like when projected with a "warm" '70-style bulb.
