As I recall, I cut the offending few frames (where R2's head and the scenery jolt - I assume it was when they got Kenny Baker out) and did a basic repair job using the MVTools plugin to create replacment frames.

Is the top one the BD?

OBI-WAN pulls out his burnt laser sword handle.
I know I'd be interested in a reseed of Darth Editous's ANH edit...
To the best of my knowledge he has never punched a baboon.

EMPEROR: Yes…yes…he would be a great Sith. Can it be done?

I think Vader crushing that rebel's neck, and the unfortunate ending to the Lars' family cookout are more than proof of that. ;)
In any case, if that still from that idiot's thread really was fake,

You were ALL going to be taken care of!
Plus, one can hope this incident will convince George to full restore the original theatrical versions of the saga for Blu-Ray with NOOOOOOOOOOOO changes.
I intend to upscale from the beginning because it will give me a bigger canvas to work from

The reason for working at 1080p is to ensure I never have to worry about re-transferring the laserdiscs at a later date and having to redo all the work once home media devices are capable of streaming and playing 1080p content with ease.

Your avatar is awesome, DE.
I can honestly say that after reading all of this I am more excited about Star Wars than I have been in a while...
...excited for how I'm going to edit the mother-loving fudge out of these blurays, that is.
I'm still hanging on to a tiny sliver of hope that this is (at least partially) an elaborate hoax, but only because of the mind-numbing crapitude (in reasoning if not in execution) of the (non-)changes.

Quick trivia: Is anyone else noticed that luke's head appears behind R2 D2 when the falcon first get shot and lights are fading off and on? He appears in 3-4 frames and i suggest that he should be removed from that shot.

59. There's a shot of R2 and 3PO in the curved seat on the Falcon. Look closely behind Artoo - for a few frames at the end, a head (probably Luke) appears. I've painted it out.
Slight improvement by using only the blue channel of JSC to get rid of the blue cast:
Script was:
gout=imagesource("gout.tga").flipvertical.converttorgb32
cap=imagesource("jsc.tga").flipvertical.converttorgb32
mask=gout.levels(240,1,240,0,255).showgreen
stackvertical(stackhorizontal(gout,cap).reduceby2,fuse(gout,cap,mask))
Very quick blend of GOUT and JSC V8 (done with Avisynth, no human intervention required, but clips would need proper warping to fit each other):
DE
I know a fair bit about seamlessly blending images, so if this ever gets to the multiple-captures-ready-to-merge, I wouldn't mind having a shot at it.

Looks fake to me...
Could've been a lot worse for the guy though:

The 04 Episode IV STAR WARS logo is stupidly fast for absolutely no reason.

DE,
Are you saying you wrote a program to record and validate the AC-3 stream, or did you do this using some software?
Also, how did you remove the padding between frames?
