I have a question. Did you leave in little things like composite fixes and matte line removal? Or is "laserdisc" footage used for them too?

This sounds like the BEST trilogy project yet on these boards. Hoping you do ANH as well!

P.S. If you want to make torrents of these, please make them dual layered.

All I can say is I can't wait for someone to get this down pat and be nice enough to make the footage available.

Things like these are the reason why I'm waiting to edit the OT, because so much better source material is always cropping up.

Can't wait to see this perfected.

Perhaps someone could do some fancy editing to make the Shaak Ti deleted scene look less like an animatic and put that into the film?
Might help to give Maul/Grevious a more sinister edge like Maul in Episode I and less like a coughing wimp like we see in III.

You could have a crawl that would fade out at the end rather than pan down into the episode itself.
This sounds like a fun idea for an edit.

If someone can find a way to get rid of that twisting leap, I'd be glad.

Having that roar/scream go over into the next shots doesn't quite work either.

This reminds me of when I tried editing ANH into sections to match the Radio Drama, with openings and endings from the audio.

Any plans for ROTJ? Or ANH? After all, ocp didn't color correct ANH either.

Wow! This looks to be an utterly superb presentation of The Empire Strikes Back. I can't wait to see it!

Any chance you could release the raw, unaltered DVD version with color correction too? That would be great fodder for fan edits.

Regardless, this looks astounding!

Have you considered compositing Qui-Gon's lightsaber somewhere into Obi-Wan's hut? Perhaps lying next to his cloak in the background during the hologram.

Can anyone upload their battle droid voices? This is the biggest editing frustration for me too.

I also wanted to find an isolated sound effect of the battle droid's "walking" sound from Episode I and incorporate that too. Same for the destroyer droids.

I've been having some difficulties with my torrent client and router, so I just today started seeding all three again. Hopefully that should help.

My Episode II edit is now available at demonoid. (9000 Edition)

All three prequels are there now, and I'm planning to make a torrent with the three as 700 MB AVIs.

Hey everyone. Episode III has been torrented at demonoid and mininova. Episode II will follow when I can find the time to finish it.

I don't enjoy or like them nearly as much as the original trilogy.

In fact next time I watch them all, I'm skipping the prequels. Star Wars would be cooler if they'd never been made. Just leave it IV, V, and VI. Sure it wouldn't make sense that they'd be numbered that way, but so what?

They could have invested in official prequel novels instead. Then our imaginations could put a positive spin on everything.

Would if help if people farther behind stopped temporarily until more people receive it and can start seeding?

Everybody's at 95%, cramming. When they all finish at the same time, the seed rate will go up.

I have a question for anyone who might have a solution.

I think I'd like to totally remove the scene in Episode II where Anakin talks about killing the Sand People. The problem is that there's no way I can see to move from the scene before it to the scene after it. If you'll put your DVD in your player and look, you'll see what I mean. The only thing that comes to my mind is to shuffle some scenes, which won't work well for me since I can't generate my own scene transition effects.

Any bright ideas? I'd love to see this scene go, and let Anakin's trip to the dark side be somewhat more gradual.
