- Time
- There's a jump cut as the droids cross a corridor in the bloackade runner, when a Stormtrooper shoots the wall near their exit (all the Stormtroopers jump to new positions). The first time around I considered it too difficult to fix, but I've managed it without having to cut any frames or reorder anything.
- When the Jawa puts the restraining bolt on R2, one shot showed it too high up on R2's panels.
- I redid the removal of C3PO's wire as he stands in line in front of Owen.
- I redid the replacement of Owen's lines, "What are you trying to push on us/Yeah?/What about that one? We'll take that blue one." Using SE sound didn't quite work because the SE clip has too much ambient noise. Instead I used a graphic equalizer to make the DVD lines match the rest of the dialogue.
- Removed some remnants of the "There's no-one here!" line in the left and right channels as the Stormtroopers exit the Falcon.
- Just before the trash compactor walls start moving, there's a cut from Luke to Leia. On that cut, the ambient noise almost completely disappears. I've put it back in until the sound of the walls drowns it out.
- After Luke says "What good will it do us if he gets himself killed?", he and Leia run off down the corridor. Listen closely and it sounds like Luke spits! Ptooee! I've cut that sound.
- When Luke first spots Ben and Vader duelling, the next shot of Ben and Vader shows them both with uncoloured sabres, and Ben with his sabre raised (as he does before he gets struck down). I've painted in Vader's sabre and moved Ben's sabre to match what we see in the next shot.
- Just before the last shot circle wipes to the credits, Leia's hands move up and then almost immediately freeze along with the rest of the picture. I've kept them still through the wipe.
There's still a slightly dodgy edit in the soundtrack at about 2 minutes into the credits, but I'm not sure I can do much about it and it's barely noticeable.
If you think you've spotted something I've missed, please let me know!
