I’m creating the DLC files for the final version of my edits, so I hope to have time to put everything together in the next few days. I know this is an anticipated resource for everyone.

Curiously when the scene is back to the theatrical version the picture quality stays low. Why didn’t you use the HD material of the original version here ? (sorry if you have already explained your choice).
Because it never goes back to the theatrical version. The shot where R2 follows them up the stairs to the little bridge is not the same; the theatrical version has the shuttle parked right there, whereas the deleted scene had it park far away and is therefore missing from that shot. There was no part of the theatrical version that was able to be mixed with the deleted scene. Also, I just used straight upscaled DVD footage for the two establishing shots of landing on Naboo because they fall between two upscaled deleted scenes anyway.
Good luck with the subtitles. We’ve got a “Project TeeSeeFourteen” started, apparently.
I wouldn’t know, but I’d probably do what the official subtitles do unless the point at which they switch doesn’t match how the story has been changed.
This would be useful for potential time travel incursions.
That must have been an oversight; the youngling scene is still very much removed.
Schorman’s source appears a bit ‘rougher,’ with more noise and varying levels of quality. But the colors are perfect.
Sometimes the scene one would think is the problem ends up working well when the film is changed around it.
Nice entrance to a new member. I’ll set out making subtitles and chapter stops.
Thanks. Hopefully that will consist of taking a good month or so detoxing from Star Wars altogether!
Just gave a coworker a copy of the whole Despecialized trilogy whom has never seen Star Wars, and was planning to with her kids. I told her to wait for a short bit until I could get ROTJ v2.5 to her, and it’ll be worth it.
Probably a torrent. Something that anyone interested would be able to get, though.
Once I get V4 of my cut of Ep2 uploaded, DrDre’s upscales that I used will be made available too.
I’ve been here pretty regularly since 2003, but never was a big frequenter of off topic. I guess I’m dangerously single-minded. But I agree off topic has been full of garbage lately, a lawless wasteland. It’s a place ruled by anarchy now, so we should get comfortable with chaos.

I like the screen name.
This was a pretty cool thread until about six minutes ago.
I’m encoding now, but have encountered a few technical issues getting the process to finish successfully. Still shouldn’t be over a week.
Sorry about the snarky gif.
Not quite yet. Should be finished and up either this week or next.
sorry if it was asked but how is v4 of approaching storm coming along.
Yes, we have indeed come a long way.

Thanks, MalàStrana, for sharing your family’s thoughts on seeing it. And I’d be glad to share your french subtitles too.
Little Nemo, thanks for your feedback as well. Not being able to hear discussion of Padme allowing the twins to be split up is a shortcoming of this approach. Assuming, as it seems clear Lucas did, that the audience is already familiar with the films that came out prior, we already know from Ben Kenobi that they were split up for their protection.
I would really have liked to have an establishing shot just before the roundtable discussion about the twins of Padme elsewhere on the ship.

Why do I put myself through this? I just don’t want to miss anything big in my favorite fictional world.
Now now, children. Play nice.
No thanks.
yeah kid play nice
Not sure what clever gif to put in here, but this should become a thing we all say when Frink gets rambunctious.
Lapti Nek was the highlight for me. First time in my 33 years really “seeing” it. The detail is amazing!
Hear, hear. We have a beautiful home video release of Return of the Jedi now. It is qualitatively better than v1.0 because it’s more or less entirely HD material.
While I still doubt the effectiveness of trying to make the existing prequels into edits preserving OT surprises/structure, I will say this: Q2’s and AEmovieguy’s (and perhaps others’) edits of Episode III go a long way to undermine the rapidfire slideshow of morphing things into how they look in ANH.
Curious to hear more about your ideas.
“Sanded Down,” good one.
