The colors already look much better!

Hmm, interesting musical connection. They used video game music for the speeder chase?

I like the DO scene! Did you do audio in 5.1? Could you perhaps make the audio assets available independently, for me to ensure it fits together with the rest of the movie? I might play with the music further or what have you.

Can’t see the DO scene yet because the link was duplicated, but it’d be wonderful to see that brief scene in usable shape as a way to let at least a moment breathe.

The music test feels like it was legitimately intended for the scene. What’s the source? Was it indeed from the soundtrack? I haven’t really kept up with the nuances of this stuff this time around.

1997 Special Edition Audio Mixes, GOUT-Synced (Released)

Not a problem, and it should be relatively quick and easy to do. If two frames’ worth of space need to be added (or un-removed, I shouldn’t be surprised to find out as was the case with ROTJ) at that scene transition, that’s easy enough.

Assuming that’s all it’d need. I assume 4K80 will also sync to this, but I could update it further if needed for that.

Why don’t I plan to send it to you, Star Thoughts, before I release it? (Can’t promise when I’ll be able to.)

The ‘Custom Special Edition’ That Almost Wasn’t, But Then Was (Released)
Time

As things are, my version uses the SE for the entire Battle of Yavin. I would find it distracting personally to switch back and forth.
I don’t plan to revise it in light of that error, but I’d think more about it if I were doing an update for other reasons.

If we could get the shockwave removed from Alderaan or the continuity error fixed during the SE Biggs scene, maybe, but on its own I don’t think it’d be worth the nontrivial amount of effort it’d take me.

Snooker's Assorted Star Wars edit ideas

I initially thought changing the planet to Naboo was unnecessary effort, but it might be nice. I can’t imagine not borrowing this if indeed it is fully realized.

Leia working in the shadow of her mother on her and Palpatine’s home planet. (Last seen briefly in ROTJ depending on what version you watch.)

Of course, it would be criminal not to add, “Wesa free!” to the background as the victors return to base at the end.

If someone suggested ducks, they are a genius.

Checks whether I removed Panaka’s line about ducks from COD

Sees that I did

Poodoo. Still, mirroring or invoking the sound design heard at the Gungan sacred place would help a great deal with this idea.

But, and I’m a little reluctant to ask, shouldn’t we expect to see some gungans around this Resistance base on Naboo? Or maybe just one somewhere?

I’m super busy with work and life, and feel that I have very little real creativity to offer this film.

So, for now I’m sort of stagnate. Like the updated OP says, I’m anticipating being an MC for this one more than ever. I’d like to compile and put out something, partly to round out the whole saga, and I know many here don’t necessarily want to commit to a full edit while they produce wonderful clips and concepts. But that only comes with time and patience.
