I'm sure even the official OOT DVDs will have plenty of room for (fan) improvment.

I, for one, plan on making my own evil hybrid versions with what I consider the best of both worlds. Or, if the picture and sound are subpar, will attempt to use them to De-SE the 2004 DVDs. The source material should be good enough, no matter what they use to master it.

It's really too early to plan anything, so this is just a brainstorm.

I'm sorry, prequels, you're not as bad in this light.

I mean you had some ugly siblings, but your parents truley shine.

Editing the prequels feels less like turd-polishing now.

I'm so used to these being jokes!

OH MY GOD!

I just can't believe it!

Well, I got a four-pack of DVDs to sell!

Please don't be false hope this time.

If so, and the original prints aren't as great looking, it shouldn't be too hard to edit them to get the best of both words (picture quality, and 100% original versions).
I probably would edit them anyway to have my own sick, twisted fan-hybrid version anyway if this were true. But honestly I'd never watch it if the original versions were on DVD!!

Hey that sounds great!!

Is Luke's lightsaber tampered with in that shot only? Or was any other rotoscoping done for it?

I actually have the alien clip, Trooperman. PM me with your email and I'll send it to you ASAP.

Bur truthfully, I didn't find the video quality of the opening logos from the Cowclops V.2 disc, so I'll probably just use that.
But I only have the first one. Could anyone with the Cowclops V.2 send me the video clip of the opening logos for ROTJ? I would appreciate it, and thanks in advance.
If anyone needs anything else, please ask.

EDIT: Oops, I see he beat me to it. If it helps, I have the NTSC version.

Has anyone been succesfull in recreating the original 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm logos for the original trilogy? If so, can you post a full size clip here?

Or can you give me a list of movies that have the same opening 20th century fox logo of ANH/ESB and ROTJ? Thanks a lot!

I'm finished, but it seems to play BOTH sets of subtitles (retail DVD, and Backstroke) at the same time. How can I get rid of this? I don't even want the retail subtitles on the DVD.

Can anyone supply me with a short video clip of the well-known censored footage from the original version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
I’m considering creating a fan edit, and this would be good to include.
Also anyone can throw in ideas or suggestions.

Distribution plans are still sketchy, although I am hoping someone can make a torrent available on myspleen.
And I hope you will be pleased... AOTC is the one that needed the most work.

Can anyone provide a near-DVD quality clip of the extra Dooku line in the duel? If possible I'll try to stick it in episode III.

That sounds incredible, can't wait to see it. Do you have a list of changes?

Wow, I should read slower. I thought it was the phantom editor's version of ANH.

Still want to check it out though!

Here's an idea I'm tossing around for an alternate edit of ANH:

Imperial March
(Right-click, save as)

I don't want it to be over-the-top, just subtle. Or maybe I should scrap it.

Yeah, the video quality is the only downfall. When I did my edit all I could use was audio clips and re-create the video.

This edit is great, and also my favorite AOTC edit to date. The plot can actually be followed on a first viewing, without getting bored or distracted. It keeps you inside the movie. Love the removal of most of the random action sequences, and trims where they get off task.
I used some of these changes in my own edit as well. A great edit.
