I think Ady's version is to the '04 DVDs, what the '97 SE is to the OOT.

The new R2 red/blue light looks stunning. It took me twice before realizing anything was even changed!

Subtle, yet effective. November can't come soon enough.

Would anyone with a copy like to trade with me? I can send a copy of all three of my prequel edits.

What appears to be a single layered version of this is up on mininova.

Wow, very impressive! Especially the new scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin in the elevator.

My video card is... not working. So I can't upload a clip.

I made a cut after the Anakin's line "I was about to say that". JUST as Obi-Wan looks back at Palpatine (it's subtle).
CUT to the shot where Obi-Wan turns around and we hear Dooku say "your swords please...".

If you look at the DVD you can probably visualize it.

I managed to remove Dooku's jump from the balcony in my edit. Btw, I should be able to ship it out tomorrow.

There was a great ebook someone posted a while ago here. It was about how the story of Star Wars changed and evolved over time.

The chapter about ROTS is how I know what I said above. I can't find the link, but I think it's called "The Story of Star Wars" or something.

Heck, I'd be willing to send you a copy of my edit, for what it's worth.

If you wanted to see it.

Originally Anakin was to kill Dooku the way he killed Windu, towards the middle of the film.
There was no Grevious, because that character was created to fill in the gap that was left when they decided to kill Dooku off within the first fifteen minutes.
Obi-Wan wasn't sent to kill Grevious/Dooku either.

And it opened with a montage of the Clone Wars being fought on seven different planets, instead of the flat rescue of Palpatine.

Deciding to kill off Dooku and replace him with Grevious opened up a lot of problems, and I think ruined the story of the first half of the movie. (Which subsequently helped ruin the story of the second half.)

I got to all the files eventually, don't worry about it.

Very good! I'm looking forward to seeing your edit as a whole. Episode III is the hardest to edit, and is the one I'd like to alter the most.

I think LFL should just re-do ROTS, and make it more like how the earlier scripts were, before Grevious and all that stuff.

Surely by "one", you really mean "perpetually one more".

Story-wise, I think ROTS is a real let-down. Count Dooku is supposed to be the 8-ball of the Clone Wars, and he's killed off right at the start. Then they introduce Grevious.

I think ROTS would have been better if they'd stuck with their original story ideas. And had the ending be less like a powerpoint presentation. (And have Padme move to Alderaan at the end! WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THAT?)

Is there anything special involved in editing from a hi def source versus a DVD mpeg?

Can I just load it into the same software?

This is very exciting.

I know the expected release date has past so there's no point in rushing anything. But can you give us an updated ETA?

Good ideas, I think!

I'm a dunce at surround-sound editing, but if you or someone can get that line of Threepio's into the surround mix, I'd use it whenever I get around to ROTJ.

Also, do you think the scene where Leia meets Wicket could be safely removed altogether? That way we don't know what happens to her, and the Ewoks are first revealed when the gang are trapped in the net.
