As for the new chasm, I'm in favour of it. How many people here have wondered what these big pits were for?

I'd imagine the chasms are only used when the Death Star is firing. Why would they need to have energy flowing through them all the time?

Would it be worthwhile to replace the starfields?

Thanks to Chewtobacca's help, I was able to add Hairy Hen's new purist 5.1 mix to Harmy's awesome reconstruction. Yay!

Because of the size of HH's mix, the final files were just slightly larger than a DVD-5. I didn't want to bother with a DVD-9 and the layer break, so I had to run it through DVD shrink to get it to fit.

The final result is awesome!

Harmy, this is getting exciting. Have you thought about how you'll handle the space battle scenes?

Shadows of the Empire has tons of easily accessible sounds on the PC version of the game. I don't have it any more, but somebody on here might. If I remember correctly they were pretty clean sounding.

I have the PC version of this game if it's needed.

Thanks for posting. When I threw on my glasses and checked it out, it seemed jerky. Using just my blue eye, the image looked fine. But using just my red eye, there were lots of double images. It seemed like something was off with the red portion of the image.

That's the main problem of the movie. The censorship. The novelization is full of blood, exploding heads, split bodies, cut body parts ... and the only thing you could see was the fake looking cut arm in the cantina sequence. And they cut even more "violence" out of the movie for the "special edition" :-(

But they left in the close up of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's incinerated bodies. That image was quite gruesome when I was a kid.

I've always suspected the SE's toned down violence had to do with ratings. At the time SW was released, there was no PG-13 rating. By the time of the SEs, the images of people getting shot in the chest may have earned a PG-13. Officers in caps (which are the 2 instances of censorship) are more "human looking" than DS troopers in samurai helmets, so it's still acceptable for the DS troopers to take a hit in the chest.

A skeleton is scary, but it's not "human looking" enough.

This may sound ridiculous, but Ridley Scott's commentary for Gladiator confirmed that this is how the rating system works. He mentioned how the "human looking" factor played a part in Gladiator's rating.

Has Shelagh Fraser been in any other films? Could we track down what she really sounds like and do a comparison?

Ah, I guess I never looked close enough to tell it wasn't Aurebesh.  My mistake.

Cue 90 posts in the ESB:R thread asking Ady to replace the X-wing screen text with Aurebesh...

(Actually, it would be a neat way to give R2 lines that only insanely die-hard fans can read...)

It's already been done, but with galactic Basic

Awesome!

ChainsawAsh said:

Aren't Galactic Basic and Aurebesh the same thing (Aurebesh being the alphabet, Galactic Basic being the "language," which is English)?

Either way, that's awesome!  Is it gibberish, or did you give him lines?

Technically speaking, in regards to the EU, that's right. But Galactic Basic is also what I called my version of Aurebesh that's screen accurate to what we see in Return of the Jedi. It's slightly different from standard Aurebesh, but I tried to keep as many letters the same as I could.

I sense a disturbance in the Force ...

Aurebesh was based on the characters that appear in Return of the Jedi, but it was not created until the 1990s by West End Games for the Star Wars role playing game. When West End Games created Aurebesh, they were clearly trying to emulate the font seen in Return of the Jedi, but many characters are different.

Nowhere in ANH or ESB does that same font from ROTJ appear. They are all different alphabets.

I'd love to make a font based on Luke's X-Wing screens, but the text is blurry even in the HD captures.

So where are they supposed to be? Aboard the executor? Apologies if I've missed where it's meant to be set.

I was just wondering the same thing. They can't be on board the Executor, since they're not in the thick of the battle like the Executor is.

And Bob, nice DS clips.

More detailed instructions would be great. I've never done this before.

OK, I've now got Hairy_Hen's 5.1 purist mix. Do I use TS Muxer to add this ac3 to the DVD, as explained in this link?

Thanks

I like Star Wars.

Have you met Sluggo?

Thanks, hh! I'm downloading now.

I can maybe do it in Photoshop. I guess that wouldn't help though.

Can the red-blue versions be played on a regular DVD player?

Can anyone help out a fellow small-name collector?

Awesome. I hate the SE sandtroopers.

Thanks

Here are the new Empire and Jedi 5.1 mixes.  Aside from reverting the music back to how it was originally presented, everything sounds exactly the same as the previous versions.

Empire: http://www.nakido.com/A79D1681FBAE5459337580B6C92AEDB89963D72B

Jedi: http://www.nakido.com/0F196D0DEA5E5A752ECE1E15DE3ACE7E31BEC143

 

Hope you all like them!

 

Oh, and here's the Star Wars 70mm LFE channel as requested.  http://www.sendspace.com/file/q5dsqm

Are these new purist mixes available anywhere else? I cannot get this darn nakido site to work. Thanks!

That's a little better. But I'd agree with ChainsawAsh that the fight would be not seem so short if intercut with some other scenes. But I understand you have reasons for cutting it like this. I look forward to the longer clip.
