I hope if these ever get a physical release this can be recreated and could possibly allow for more wiggle room with things like that.
Can’t even tell which elements are new!

Damn, I wish I had more time for fan editing stuff. I have virtually none, I feel like.
I desperately want to see the film for which that is an accurate poster.
Groovy.

IMHO that difference is not remotely noticeable. I even tried to sync it, and the difference compared to the (admittedly less than 100% precise) GOUT version was half a frame. And it’s only the last 15% of the movie. It’s 100% fine, to me.
Honestly, dude, I might go ahead and put together some subtitles together for your edit. At this point it’ll probably be my general go-to.
Oh, the subtitles were very much not edited in parallel with the video and audio. It’s a huge pain in the ass, done after the edit is finished and sync-locked. It’s very “adjust by a quarter second, save, and see how it looks in VLC, repeat.”
I’d imagine that, yeah, 3/4 hours to conform subtitles to Spence’s edit would be about what it would take me.
That’s wonderful! Thanks for doing that.
Ah, that makes sense then.
Sounds good! Might actually get me to revisit this thing. I’m confident if you’re helming it.
LD audio is better than the DVD? Do you know something about their history? I could try my hand if the two need to be blended somehow, such as surround channels being more dynamic in the LD.
I remember hearing that that line was new for the DVD back in the day.
And the cinema DTS tracks I have agree.
If you can rip the audio you want to conform, I would suggest syncing the two starting at the start of the movie. Skim ahead until the audio falls out of sync, and adjust. Hopefully the the two remain mostly in sync on their own except when a change occurs, but there will be small points here and there where a frame needs to be removed and glossed over or contrived.
Oh, right, I forgot.
FUCK YOU ASH
I don’t think it’d be at all easy to make that work, and I wouldn’t be interested in pursuing the idea myself.

Member LardBladder pointed something out to me over PM that I wasn’t aware of. In ANH, when the fighters engage their S-foils into attack position, the SE and onward has a sound not present in the older mixes. However, it actually is present in the mono mix! Given this, I have reinstated it and reexported the ANH portion of this project. (I had originally mistook it for a SE change corresponding to the new visuals, but it was there in the mono mix with the original visual FX.)
I also fixed that loud pop when we meet Ben Kenobi.
It’s on the Google Drive, same as ever. (Only ANH is affected.) Thanks as usual to ChainsawAsh for the DTS encode.
Any further work on this one? It seems promising!
I was reflecting on it a little today, and only have a few suggestions.
I like how Spence edited the moment when Ben first recalls Padme, removing the “she died a long time ago” line in particular. (Yes, for continuity with my Ep3 edit as well as ROTJ sorta.)
I’d suggest having the pre-title card sequence be the flashback sparring match.
And I’d suggest keeping the Palpatine scene, given what a sweet runtime this thing has.
I plan to watch the workprint in full soon, and will jot down my thoughts.

It’s a cool ‘deleted scene’ now. I admire the crafting to get the whole series into a very believable runtime to the point that it feels like a real movie. Anytime I face cutting down to fit a runtime…
Eh, it puts a button on Vader being freshly enraged about Obi-Wan to explain why he loses that focus on him.
Also, I could see it functioning in movie economy to let the audience know that Vader didn’t die on that planet after the duel. And it lets us have some symmetry to see his castle once and then see it again.
It’s far from needed, just musing on it at this point.
