I posted in two threads, hardly spamming on an industrial scale is it! I think if you asked the average person which they disliked most I'm confident it would be your pointless reply as supposed to my polite, even if a little misguided, request. 

 That's a terrible idea for an Off Topic thread.

I wonder if Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray

I wouldn't be making a statement by not going, but I need to decide whether I would want to go. I'd probably prefer to save the $75 it's sure to cost for additional viewings of Ep7.

Huh, the chapters are all a bit early. Not sure why.

Adywan had reported that they were SD, and it turns out aren't any different/better than what we already have from the DVDs.

Here's a screenshot for the super resolution upscale of one of the prequel deleted scenes:

The video will take a couple of hours to process, and will be available tomorrow to anyone who sends me a PM.

 I'd like to see it; it's hard to get a sense of how it will look based on a screencap. Thanks for dedicating the resources to trying this out.

Is there still interest in using these methods to create faux-HD upscales of the prequel trilogy deleted scenes? If there's need to obtain them first, PM me and I'd be happy to provide them.

Can this version sync with GOUT audio tracks, or no?

 No; it includes many SE changes, putting it well out of sync with the GOUT.

We're not ever going to get our hopes up for a release or news about it, and neither should anyone else.

These rumors are just that and nothing more. If it never happens, it was not meant to be.

There will be enough alternatives to replace it.

 Your opinion has been noted. 

Remove Hayden's and Lloyd's eyebrows throughout the PT.

Lol, all that would be crazy and unfeasible. But I hope Emanswfan has the good fortune to be able to release this project sooner than later. 

I'd love a state of affairs update. I don't think my PT edits will feel truly complete until I can use this. 

Someone else was there.

I listened to it about a year ago and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Apparently my Mac is too old to be able to access iTunes Extras. I guess the technical hurdles are too great for my machine to stream 480p "Legacy content." I heard from someone who did buy that the Legacy content is just the same SD video as the DVDs.

Cool idea! I think watching the films (or prequels in any event) with a different fan editor's version of each film would be very fun. The only problem is the inevitable little inconsistencies that you wouldn't know about unless you were already familiar with them. Having a curated "playlist" like this would be a good resource for those who are interested, but haven't drank the kool-aid like us weirdos have.

The SE version contains the sloppy transition, which Adywan improved in his version.

For a few reasons. It would involve a sloppy transition to remove mention of Luke's father, with R2 lurching up. It also begs the question why Luke and Biggs didn't recognize each other in the briefing. It's really just about preference, but that's part of what informs mine. 

"Star Wars: Redone" makes it sound like the movies are finished forever. Since they're making more, I'd suggest calling your project "Star Wars: Redid."

These new comics haven't struck me as very funny so far. I only laughed a few times.

I'm glad things lined up for me to A) Happen to hear that a livestream of the panel was about to start, and B) Be in a position to sit down and enjoy it. 

It was pretty fun! I'll be watching the teaser tonight when I'll be in front of my TV, not a YouTube stream.

I forgot about Celebration starting today, but happened to have the chance to sit down and watch the panel livestream. I thought it was a lot of fun! I clicked away when they said they were going to play the teaser. I'll wait until tonight when I can download it from a high quality source and play it on my TV properly, rather than hunched over a 240p video on my decrepit laptop. Looking forward to it!

The needle on the torture droid Vader uses on Leia always seemed mundane for a space movie, to me. What about adding some sparks coming out of the top, and replacing the needle with something like a flamethrower?
