Sounds to me like the Tauntaun says "Mop 'n' shine. Mop 'n' mop 'n' shine."

I hate to say it but I'd prefer the voice of Temura from the SE. (?)
Oh well, maybe that's just me.

Okay, so I think I have this figured out. It IS the GOUT.
Can I suggest then that you edit your first post to remove the misinformation (or "bobbins", as DE put it) from your friend about it being a LD capture in 720p, etc.
Aside from OT.com's rule on discussing custom DVDs, I can't see why the Editdroid team would lie about the source of this capture.

Also, the GOUT has way more aliasing on R2's red glowy thing.
Darth Editious: You misunderstand me--the technical description with bold titles in the first post is taken from the DVD itself. It is onscreen text when you go to "extras".
Well there you go - PAL GOUT is cropped. I was about to say that this "ED2" looked suspiciously like a modestly upscaled, level corrected (0.8ish), slightly sharpened GOUT, but the cropping threw me off.

Doh, of course he is. I'm such a silly Sith ;)

From closer examination of the screenshots, I believe this is actually another GOUT-sourced Custom DVD, and not a laserdisc capture at all.
Darth Editious: Why would the floating probe droid indicate it's the 1997 SE mix. He says he used the 2004 mix, which has the droid.
Also he said 120,000+ frames, the + being key.
Is there a particular reason why you can't uprez it first before you start manipulating it?
*A note about images: These are not 100% faithful to the clarity and sharpness of the actual product, however they represent a decent point of illustration.*

So would that mean that his lines would be easy to remove and replace with the original voice?
One thing I did notice that kind of bugged me is that in the scene where the stormtroopers are knocking on the doors in Mos Eisely the sound of the floating patrol droid is still heard in the background.
The DVD video was created using the 1993 non-anamorphic LaserDisc version upscaled to 720p to extract a 16:9 standard definition element.
To achieve this, the 4:3 master was rendered out frame by frame and into Photoshop where it was cropped to 16:9 and blown up to 720p. From there, the contrast of the low spatial frequencies (i.e., fine detail) was increased by 75%
If you're working with the 5.1 mix, the vocals are mainly in the center channel, but (IIRC) there is usually a bit of leakage to the left and right channels.
One exception to this (at least) are Temuera Morrison's inserted lines in ESB - they are solely in the center channel, unlike Vader's lines in the same scenes.

Angel, could you make one wide-angle image of that, starting from one of the original frames at the bottom? Kinda like this: http://www.madnessmatrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wide-angle-kansas-city.jpg

Or can he specifically identify any changes? So far I don't see any reason not to assume he's watching a rip of a 1080p broadcast of the SE. All we really have is the words "obvious improvements" and we don't know what they mean...
DE
but I'm all for seeing continuity restored where possible

Now, that's optimism! :-D On the hand, it might have DNR and EE all over it like the LOTR blu-rays.
I'm sad we won't see a new DVD of this, but I understand your reasons.

It won't let me view it DE. It says the video is private
^Ditto. And why "since nothing else will be happening for a (h)while"? :(
I figured you may as well see a higher resolution version of the 3D matte shot, since nothing else will be happening for a (h)while.

Ask yourself the question: If you were an Admiral where would you place your ships - Executor and 6 ISDs - if you know where the Rebel base is located?
I would position all those ISDs apart from each other leaving a corridor of destruction for all Rebel ships that will try to escape from Hoth.
They should have the same framing, but they don't.
The problem with the original shot is that Obi-Wan's robe "jumps" when he ignites the saber. It should be possible to fix this with a simple morph, though, along with a couple of other little tricks.
