As you all know, we’ve heard lots of talk around here about messing with the official SE DVDs and using as much of them as source for a super -duper-OOT DVD.
As in use DVD footage, pluggin in Laserdisc footage where necessary.
Now this leaves us with an exciting oppurtunity to not only preserve the Original Versions, but to create the ultimate hybrid.
Featuring only changes that we the fans dub as A-OK. So what I propose is that we take up a vote on EVERY single change made, and use that as a basis for creating the “OT/SE Hybrid” to fit alongside the complete O-OT.
(In a sense, what the 'Special Edition’s should have been all along)
So I am going to number off every change made. You can either vote yes or no for each one.
(This is the opening logos. Original or shiney logos?)
(Digitally darkened sky)
(Ditto)
(Digital Dewbacks and such)

(different shot of Obi-Wan’s hut)
(more landspeeder touchups)
(Barley different at all, shot of Mos Eisley)
(Digital speeder)
(several new shots of Mos Eisley, and alterations made to existing shots)

(Wolfman replaced with reptile thing)
(Digital dewback added behind stromtroopers, with another dismounting)
(Greedo now shoots first)
(Digital droid accompanies troopers from door to door)
(digital swooping doorway and air traffic)
