PM sent. PSA – if you want to use these subtitles with Puggo or Grindhouse releases, you’ll definitely need to look at the README file. They will not work out of the box, and need to be modified, using the utilities provided.
For just the alien subtitles, it depends which mashup you got, and whether they ported over the subtitles from 1.0 to the 2.0 workprint to replace the missing ones.
No, there were no subtitled Ewok lines. If your mashup includes the lines “I have come for the bounty…” (~14:16), “Bring me Solo and the Wookiee.” (~27:38), and “They will all suffer for this outrage.” (~27:41), you’re good to go. Otherwise you’ll need to download the subtitle file Harmy linked earlier: https://mega.nz/#!Ll03BZyY!3YEdAOXEKXJ4yj-wIfnXgWfnQmf0m5YH4i-bnlYrqSU
Not reading the README? A man after my own heart 😉 PM sent.
Yeah, I’m usually the one yelling RTFM, the irony of which is not lost on me 😃
Jesus… do you have the other half of my amulet or something?

FWIW, and I think it’s mentioned in the README, none of the subtitles sync with Puggo out-of-the-box. All of the SRT files, even the 16mm one (which refers to the soundtrack variant, not Puggo’s particular release), are GOUT-synced and designed for 23.976 fps. I think I’ll just mark that SRT file simply “mono” in the future, now that it looks like there probably isn’t a different 8mm mono variant.
You have to pass them through a Perl utility to make them sync, and even then, the only ones that’ll work easily are the NTSC DVD ones due to the framerate difference. If you’re using SRT files, post-conversion, you’ll still have to change the framerate from 23.976 to 29.97, or inverse-telecine the video back from 29.97 to 23.976. Oh, and the subtitles assume you leave the trailer in place, but only subtitle the feature.
But I’m glad you got it working a different way. This info is mostly for anyone else who’s curious.
OK, here it is:

I saw subtitles for Empire! Woo! Oh, and thanks for the review too – and the helpful spoiler-gate. I’m likely to miss the entire theatrical window, which isn’t actually likely to cause me spoiler problems as I don’t know how the Internet works and I never leave the house. Basically I’m Howard Hughes with a cat avatar.
Why would you want to wait in line? I want to see the movie, not wait in line. I’m going to buy my ticket online. A theater near lets you buy your ticket and select what seat in the theater you want.
Hey, man – I’m getting the movie delivered to my house. To my house! None of this get off the couch BS. It should be here in a red envelope in about 9 months or so.
Hi, could I please get a download link for the Czech ROTJ subtitles? You’re doing a great work by the way, respect. 😃

Apparently what everybody needs is my friend Ed, who has always been right about everything, except Cabin Boy and Joe Versus the Volcano.

I’ve seen a couple reviews (neither I’d really trust, though) that say TFA is better than ROTJ. I can easily believe it’s better then ROTJ:SE, and am open to the possibility that it may even be better than ANH:SE, but if it actually surpasses any of the actual original trilogy, I’d be very pleasantly surprised and may give it a rental after all.
Then again, one of those reviewers also said ROTS was the best of the prequels, so that’s pretty disqualifying. Still waiting for more reviews to come in (mostly from friends).

It’s really unlikely I’ll be able to make a special upload before tonight, given my schedule today. Unless someone else offers – plenty of people have downloaded the Brazilian subtitles and could upload them – try maybe downloading at another location with faster Internet?

Do you think the GOUT ROTJ would rest well alongside Harmy’s ANH and ESB? I’m doing standard DL DVDs to accommodate all the “special features” I’m including
No, GOUT wouldn’t look good under any circumstances. In fact, I’d still recommend Harmy’s v1 over the previously-mentioned dark_jedi’s v3 – once you’ve scaled it down to DVD resolution, a lot of the most noticeable faults in v1 (blurry GOUT footage) are much less severe, while the HD-sourced material still looks like a top-quality DVD instead of an non-anamorphic mess. There’s some bad DVD downscales out there though, so be sure to get a good one or roll your own.
Maybe slightly off-topic but I’m making Harmy DVDs for my dad for Christmas. For ROTJ, would you guys recommend v1.0 or is the workprint complete enough for now? I know the video quality is supposed to be much better in the WP.
I appreciate any opinions!
IMO – and it pains me to say it – 1.0 is better for general-purpose enjoyment than the 2.0WP. The missing subtitles can be fixed, but the crazy wrong R2 freakout just wrecks it, worse than blurry eyebrows. For my own purposes – like a lot of people here, it seems – I’ve made a mashup of the workprint with 1.0 spliced in at a few key points. I’m confident the second workprint or final release of 2.0, whatever’s next, will be clearly better than 1.0 in every respect. The first workprint very nearly is.
PM’s sent. These subtitles will only sync to the unaltered versions of the films, not the official Blu-rays.
PM’s sent. If you run into trouble, there’s a detailed README file in the project.
PM sent. The current Brazilian Portuguese subtitles have a couple errors in ROTJ that will be fixed in the next version, but nothing major.
Easy for you to say.
EDIT: Dang your post-edits, Gimli, now my comment makes even less sense than before.
PM’s sent. To clarify, complete Japanese subtitles are available for ROTJ, just not in the SRT format at the moment.
Yeah, there’s a lot of little weird audio things that happen in ROTJ, and if you’re talking about what I think you are, that’s one of them. I’m afraid all of the audio sources have them, to some degree. That’s a “warts and all” preservation for you 😉
PM sent. Full Japanese subtitles for ROTJ are currently available only in graphical form. This will be fixed in the next release, which I’m hoping will be soon.
