Thank you Molly!

And, O glorious Adywan, I sing your praises. Can't wait to see this!

You sounded like me, ron2112. I drive my wife crazy talking like that, being the grammar and spelling Nazi that I am.
(It also takes me twice as long to post in a forum as it should because I keep starting over to reword everything until I feel it's just right.)

I'll be keeping my 2004 DVD mainly for the commentary and the occasional amusement of listening to Darth Vader speak French. (although Irvin Kershner's babbling on ESB is infinitely more fun to listen to than anything Lucas has to say

)

However, as far as just watching the movie, Adywan's edit seems like it will be the definitive version. (and hopefully soon I can replace my GOUT with the X0 version)

Sorry, OLK. I thought that was Adywan's cover because of the avatar. Very nice work, though! Best cover I've seen in a while!

Very pretty your DVD cover is, Ady.

Heh, the mentioning of adding Lucas into the movie suddenly reminded me of this.
You totally should have made one of the rebel pilots into a Spartan

Hey Adywan, When/if you get around to starting an NTSC PIF chain in the U.S. I'll be more than happy to help out with that if you'd like me to. Just drop me a PM or an email at shadowplay_80@hotmail.com and I can give you my address if you want my help. I can handle DVD-5 or DVD-9

By the way, that Mos Eisley clip was excellent. Bravo on Hans new and improved "maneuvers." Looks much better now than the original veering slightly to the left.

Makes me think of that video on YouTube where Vader's lines are dubbed by lines from James Earl Jones in other movies.

Heh, one of those was mine. I did one with Lion King lines in ESB.
But of course I was inspired to do that by "The Vader Sessions"

Agreed. With all due respect to all you've done, the OT Yoda was nothing short of phenomenal and needs no updating.

Great news! I can't wait to finally see what the Special Edition SHOULD have been all along

Then there's the little garbage spots on top of the Death Star in one of the battle shots. The shot is moving, the Death Star is moving, but all these little spots stay still, almost like they should be background ships but they forgot to move them with the rest of the shot...

Gasp! double posting! *smacks self*

Anyway, my mommy still has our old CED's. So hopefully in the near future I can find out what I need to fix our player (I think it's just one little tiny piece and maybe a new needle) and I can slap those puppies onto DVD's to preserve the Star Wars of my childhood in all its pan & scan, multiple-sided, 3% speed increased glory, complete with the Emperor's skip-induced speech impediment:
"Soon, the-rebel-wi-be-cru-an-youn-Sky-ker-ill-be-n-f-us." <-- I will try to fix that, but I can't make any promises. If I can't, it'll just be that much more amusing.

Incidently, Smurfs and the Magic Flute doesn't seem to be out on DVD, so I may as well DVD-itize that too for my daughter while I'm at it, plus we have this bizarre fairy tale CED called The Nightingale starring Mick Jagger.

Yeah, with it being P&S, I never got to chuckle when the Star Destroyer gets asteroided and the hologram fades out until the Special Editions came out and I finally had it in widescreen

I saw Alice Cooper at the North Dakota State Fair. First good concert they've had there in years. I felt betrayed though when a good fourth of the people there left after Ted Nugent. I mean, honestly... Cooper totally mopped the stage with Nugent's arse. Some people...

Anyway, I agree that DVD-9 is the way to go (although if the difference really is negligible, maybe making both available wouldn't hurt just to be fair)
With any other movie I wouldn't care but, this being Star Wars and all, it deserves the best presentation possible.

That's what I grew up watching, although not having seen it in 15 years I can't really comment on the quality.
My mom might still have ours. Last I saw it was in a crate in her basement, although the player is shot.
I watched them so much I put a skip into ROTJ, and it makes my wife chuckle when I quote the garbled line with the skip.

I read some of the Lolcat Bible and felt inspired.
Since Star Wars is at least as important as the Bible, why not translate that into lolspeak as well?

I’m going to be attempting this by reconstructing the opening crawl, and then simply replacing one of the DVD subtitle tracks. (although it would be fun to overdub the audio too if I had time)

But I has queshon: I have found a few processes for creating DVD subtitles, but they are all many steps and sound like much hassle.
I’ll continue looking, but does anyone know of any programs that allow you to simply edit a subtitle track that has been ripped from a DVD?

I have copies of those. I got them in 2002, since I had thought at the time that Ep. IV-VI weren't being released on DVD until 2005. I agree that they aren't so great quality-wise (they aren't anamorphic like the package said, and the colors are a bit washed out), but I kept them just to have the 1997 versions on DVD. They served me well for the 2 years leading up to the 2004 DVD releases, and as an added bonus ROTJ even had awesome "Backstroke of the West" style subtitles (Fire moons and Empresses and Admiral Edbaby, oh my!)

(and of course, not breaking rules doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't done anything wrong. Just look at all the ridiculous things that are done by hospitals and businesses and governments that are still perfectly legal)

Heh, same here.
Looks mighty fine. If only Lucasfilm would have put that much love into the 2004 DVD set...
