Judging from some recent clips, I think Harmy's considering some new HD versions that will remove just about every SE change.

The "no comment."  Leads me to believe something is up.

I agree. It sounds like they're leaving the door open for a future release. Especially after GL said, at the announcement of the set, that the updated versions take priority.

hairy hen, I know I'd love to see that list. The differences in the mono mix have always fascinated me.

Conceptually, it doesn't work for me. Not in the middle of the movie like this. If you were to do this at the very end, like when the Death Star is under construction, it might come off better.

Harmy,

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I popped it in over the weekend to check it out, and everything looks pretty good. I'm still looking for Hairy Hen's purist 5.1 to see how the sync is.

Hey, Spence. You have a lot of really good ideas here. Count me interested.

The Sail Barge clip is nicely done and pretty seamless.  It would be nice if you could put Han's "Trust Me" line back in.

The new ending is different, but it works, even though I'm not a big fan of the view across the worlds. Ending with the funeral pyre gives the film a nice somber note.

Or the scenes from that ben burrt documentary redone from a new hope in imax by ILM, done in 70mm using a special camera by Dennis Muren.

I would love to see the whole thing again but i'm starting to think it'll never be played again!

There was a Real Audio file of the Tatoonie flyover floating around a few years ago. Terrible quality though.

Are you looking for any score-only tracks? I think there are a number of those.

Harmy, these are getting better and better.

DJ,

Would it be doable to release all of the soundtracks by themselves? How big would the total size be?

Thanks for doing this Puggo. I always enjoy your "making of" extras. I was wondering why you hadn't moved the frame up.

That's a good crawl. It could use a few more commas and apostrophes like this:

Relentless in their pursuit of the freedom fighters, the Imperial Starfleet led by DARTH VADER has driven the Alliance to the fringes of the galaxy.

Anticipating the Rebels' every move, the EMPEROR has prepared for them a final defeat by ordering the construction of a terror weapon more destructive than the first dreaded Death Star.

Unaware of the sinister plots laid against him, Luke Skywalker has returned to Dagobah to complete his training as a JEDI KNIGHT and to prepare to rescue Han Solo from the vile gangster Jabba The Hutt...

Sluggo, I suggest transparent with a thick red outline.

The Death Star with the equatorial dish also appeared at the beginning of the original Star Wars storybook.

Brash, have you looked into the "Star Wars Trilogy CD-ROM Limited Edition Entertainment Utility" released in 1995? It has lots of clean effects and dialog. I have it if you need it.

Thanks.

Btw. Erik, what do you mean "With a little rotoscoping, they might turn out really great."? Rotoscoping is the way I did it.

That was a poor choice of words on my part. What I really meant was more like "manual cleanup". There were few parts from the GOUT that looked globbey and splotchy, from where you erased the ronto in the driveby. But looks like you might have taken care of it in the latest clip.

Those are looking much better (though it's hard to tell sometimes on youtube). With a little rotoscoping, they might turn out really great.

The new clip looks good. I like the subs.

I never would have noticed aliasing on diagonal letters if someone hadn't mentioned it here.

Harmy,

The new clip is promising as a test, but I don't know if it would work in the movie - without being distracting. I know you said it was quick and dirty, but one thing that really stands out is the floating grey blob in the sky where the ship used to be.

For this scene, I think it would preferable to go with the GOUT for the entirety, unless you were able to somehow spilt the shot into 2 and avoid the ronto altogether.

I have the original CD of the Mono Mix somewhere. I'm not too savvy on the uploads though. If no one else can provide this in a few days, I'll see what I can figure out.

Was the X0 capture from the 1993 laserdiscs?

I thought it was from one of the releases from the 80s.

I'll have yet to see about that when I finish the PAL DVD9 and then I'll decide. But unless there's an overwhelming demand for it (which in terms of this edit seems to be 3 and more people ;-D ) I probably won't do it. There will also probably be no PAL DVD5 either.

I was kinda hoping for hairy hen's latest 5.1 mix. Will it sync if I do it myself?

was there going to be a DVD-9 of the NTSC?
