I have to say I'm actually surprised there are so few changes, just R2 in the rocks in Star Wars, none so far in Empire and it seems like Jedi was the one he decided to fuck up more for this release. It's funny, in 97 he obviously ruined Star Wars the most, in 04 I'd say Empire was the most screwed up what with Boba's voice and the Emperor's new dumb dialogue. Now it was Jedi's turn.

But seriously I was kinda expecting all sorts of prequel shit, like Padme's photos on Obi-Wan's house or colored Stormtroopers. Lucas probably restrained himself to please us!

Obi's new scream is sadly no joke and it's been known for a while, so I would think all the rest are real too.

Ok, I found my copy of "The Sounds of Star Wars":

An interim crow sound was tried before Burtt arrived and recorded Wood and Acord in the parking lot behind the Tech Building. "He sourced from Dave and me yelling" Wood says. "We screamed and screamed. I was trying to model mine off this terrible, cheesy element that I love from a Disneyland ride, The Haunted Mansion: ah, ah, ahooooooah!"

Utimately, Burtt blended the screams -with Acord starting the scream and Wood ending the scream. "It sounds like some kind of weird animal but coming from a human" says Wood

It is Matthew Wood, Obi-Wan's new "Little Richard being tortured" scream has been known since the book Star Wars sounds came out, I'm pretty sure the book says it's Wood and some other dude screaming.

And they have added a bloody Dug into jabbas Palace walking down the steps. Definitely forcing the prequels down our throats

A Dug? As in fucking Sebulba? 

And after what they did to poor Wicket, those rumors about Jabba being "digitally more expressive" or whatever shit it was could very well be true.

It's quite telling that the 97 SEs are now seen as acceptable. By 2020 when the movies are released in whatever new format, we'll be praying that George just gives us the 2011 "R2 in the rocks & blinking Wicket" versions.

It's also amazing not only the terrible decisions to make the changes but how poorly they are made, even if some twisted mind thinks it's great to have Vader yell NOOOOO!!! at the end of Jedi, it just sounds horrible, you can tell right away that it wasn't recorded at the same time.

Anyway, the movies need more NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

They should add the NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! to Empire when Luke cuts Vader head in Dagobah.

And in Jedi after Luke says that he feels the conflict in his father and Vaders throws his saber, another perfect scene for more NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That's right, it's great that one of the most iconic prequel moments is finally getting the respect it deserves. I suggest the "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" is added to Star Wars when Vader loses control of his TIE.  And then to ESB when he enters the Hoth hangar and the falcon is just leaving, or after Luke jumps, or both.

Seriously this has to be George just giving us the finger.

Star Wars: Nothing. The Biggs scene is mostly harmless though, but can't say I like it.

Empire: The correctly edited music when the Slave I takes off.

Jedi: Nothing.

Outstanding job Harmy, the Death Star Battle in particular looks great. Probably the only part that breaks the ilusion of seeing the original is the saber duel, but there's nothing you could have done there.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful release.

Just finished the download, hopefully I can check it out this weekend, thank you so much for uploading the ISO.

Thank you Harmy, can't wait to see it, though that might take a while.

PM please?

Take all the time you need.

Harmy, if it's all the same for everyone else, any chance you could upload the ISO image instead of the folder? Not sure if there's an advantage of one over the other so if it's more problematic forget I asked.

That would be awful, the Jabba scene represents everything that is wrong with the SE.

Oh, I can almost see it already, colored Stormtroopers like the Ep.3 Clones, Gungans in the cantina, Greedo now shoots seven times and his eight shot ricochets and kills him...

There's a trailer of season 4 at the official site:

Looks ok I guess. It seems though as they plan to continue with the "OT character of the week" plan we've been getting lately.

I have a feeling Lucas will soon be saying "I always intented the original Star Wars to be on 3D but the studio didn't let me do it"

I have a question, is there any audio mix of Empire prior to the SE that has the music for Boba Fett's departure correctly mixed? Just curious to see if there's at least one good thing about the SE.

Well, it looks like I've finally got it right, though I have to watch the whole film to be sure. Spectacular work Harmy. I do think I'll have to adjust my TV a bit since the lightsabers' glow looks strange.

If we were to follow the EU by the time Luke got into Jabba's Palace in ROTJ, Jabba should have been dead already. It seems everyone in there wanted him dead.

It's certainly different (from the little I could see) from Ady's reconstruction. It's an interesting take for sure, the part that seemed very strange was the carbon freezing chamber.

Well, I tried with ImgBurn with Windows and it burned the disc, but when it was verifying it, there was an error, and sure enough the disc doesn't play properly, it's like some parts of the film are missing and it just skips them. Oh well, I'm just going to give up with this.

Anyway from what little I could see with the damaged disc (and unless it's because the disc didn't burn properly) the colors are strange. Did you mean to make it so bright and saturated (for lack of better terms, english is not my first language) Harmy?

Excellent, thanks!

@Diego: How about using ImgBurn on some kind of Windows emulator? Or maybe using a friend's computer?

I'd rather not use a windows emulator, but I was already thinking about using another computer, however that is not without some other complications, I need a HD formatted with FAT32 or whatever it's called (the one that can be used on both Macs and PCs), but that can only write files up to 4 GB in size, so I have to take the rar parts, unrar them there, install ImgBurn and hope the burner can burn DL DVDs.

I do appreciate your concern. 

BTW, is ImgBurn complicated?
