That looks great!
My only complaint is that you don't hear much of the initial "blast" sound effect. There's nothing KABAM about it.

I would reocmmend plugging in the shots immediatly before and after the change from Laserdisc. But it looks fine as it is if you would rather stick with that. Just my take on it.

I agree with Jimbo on this topic, crude as his arguments are.

I am a conservative all the way. Even so, Kerry and Edwards are a joke. They lie and distord most of what they say!

I'm not interested in getting into a war here. But here is my opinion.

If I were of legal voting age, my vote would go to Bush and Cheney, no contest. Kerry and Edwards have blatantly lied and distorted so much and on such a regular basis it's sick. They wanna play dirty. Bastards.

My laserdisc player just plain SUCKS. Sucks sucks sucks.

I'm considering re-selling on Ebay and purchasing a new one.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good Laserdisc player to get the best quality out of the Star Wars Trilogy??
It seems as if mine was in a classroom for ten years and then sold on Ebay. It sucks horribly.
What i'm looking for is one that stands up to hardcore fans like us. Something to get the best quality out of them.
Anybody?

My laser disc player is a top-notch peice of total crap.

I have the '95 Faces LD set but it looks like crap because of the crappy player. The TR47 DVDrs look better since I have a decent *DVD* player.

Oh well. It's still good to be able to watch the laserdiscs.

I just finished my full comparison between Attack of the Clones and The Clone War.

Since I'm least familiar with ATOC than all other Star Wars films, I couldn't always remember scenes that were cut or recognize changes easily.
Some scenes I noticed were cut out was the Jedi Library sequence, most of the Anakin/Padme scenes on Naboo, and the Yoda/Obi/Windu exposition.
The "Love time" scenes on Naboo were cut and Padme's family was reinserted in it's place. The Yoda/Obi/Windu scene was replaced with the deleted scene between Obi and Mace when Obi takes off to Kamino.

I do feel that TCW *is* a better film than AOTC.

To put it simply, TCW is closer to AOTC than BOTF is to TPM.

I agree whole-heartedly. I don't understand those here who bash Lucas left and right about everything.

The forum would be a lot better without all that garbage.

Digitally painting out the "A New Hope" won't work.
If you are going to get rid of that, you might as well go the extra mile to get it completely original, and have the text spacing of where words fall in relation to lines.

It's more of a "which changes EXACTLY do you like/dislike"?

Well it all sounds great from what I hear.

Assuming that the tentative project of a fully DE-SEized official DVD made to be damn near the OOT by hard work of you, Rikter and MagnoliaFan...
then I will officially crap my pants. With joy.

I wish you (all three of ya) good luck on this. This is what fanboy's dreams are made of.

Sounds great. I wish you well on your venture.

And that MagnoliaFan and Rikter set about re-creating the closest OOT you can from the official DVDs does sound AWESOME.
THAT would be the SW DVD set to end all SW DVD sets.

I noticed another change on the DVDs.

After the stormtroopers exit the Falcon on the Death Star, one now says "There's no one here."

Y'know, in case you couldn't tell that already.

I hate the added line "There's no one here." as the stormtroopers exit the Falcon after their search.

I am so glad for this site, and my bootlegs.

Nope, BOTF has no chapter for the end credits.
My chapter inserts reflect this as well.

TCW, however, does have a separate chapter for the credits.

Yes I agree, we need to have a completely DE-SEized DVD.

This is just for future reference if anyone in the future decides to create a hybrid to go along *with it*. Or entirely seperate.

Just to clarify, this is just about making "our" SE. A SE with no BS in it.

It may never happen, so this thread may be just a "which SE changes do you like/dislike?"

Remember, Mag is trying to make a Saga to be watched in chronological order, Episode 1 through 6.

Call me a hypocrite, but count me out on this one. I don't want a fan-edited OT.

PT maybe, but no OT. I was only thinking of getting the best of both worlds, as far as SE changes go.

I mean I'm not agaist MagnoliaFan taking a crack at it, but that's not really what this thread was intended for.
