Much better score than I expected. When thinking about the events I had to go pretty far before they happened and started to roll the film in my mind. If someone would ask "when Vader meets the bounty hunters and what happens before it, answer now!" I wouldn't know. LOL, 11 minutes between there, oh well. Pretty good.

This was a tough one!
Thanks for the game. :) Like I said, the sequels are going to be much harder if I'll participate in those. Those Dagobah/asteroid scenes will be a pain in the butt to get right.

Very impressive! Almost so impressive I would have to accuse you of cheating! But I won't.
Surely, you must tell us how you did it?
Wow, pretty good! Well, I have seen it many times the past 14 years so I can watch it in my mind if I want. Also I know pretty much where the half point is so it's kinda easy to put the events after that. Also making subtitles for it has helped! :D The sequels are gonna be harde since I'm not sure how the timing goes there... Putting the events in the right order is easy, though.

I thought it was Skyguy? LOL.
The Clone Wars = PT
That's true, that's why I hate it. :P

The tape had subtitles so I think no one outside this country is interested. :P But I also have a UK version of that rental tape, if I ever get to transfer it. Too bad they are in mono (no, not the mono versions!) even though covers claim that they're in stereo. I also have the first TESB and ROTJ rental tapes but I don't know if they are any different from later releases. I would transfer all of them if I had the devices but I don't.
Ah ok, do you know if the tape contains the original greedo subtitles behind the foreign language? If so, would you care to post a pic of it?
Actually, there isn't, just checked it. They must be on the UK version but I wouldn't think they're original since the film is in pan & scan and the subtitles are much wider IMO...

Indeed it is, no problems at all except the line which goes on the bottom, otherwise it's as good as new. Last summer I copied it on DVD. :)
Is that DVD something you would be willing to share a copy of?

I see, the bright JSC transfer look similar to the pics above, great to see that the tape seems to be in pretty good condition though after all these years!

The -83 rental tape! that is an old one:) Thanks for the trouble. It actually comes very close to the bootleg telecine in color from what I can see, it is pretty much the same on the vintage doc The Making of STAR WARS also. Then I strongly believe what zombie84 already said, that it's probably more accurate or closer in color pallette of the original -77 print in just that scene than the THX/GOUT version is.
Yeah, but still the tape is waaay too light during the whole movie, here's a couple of more examples just for shits and giggles:
Here's what it looked like on a 1983 rental video, GOUT on the right:

Are the droids cartoons even canon anymore? I thought they were pre-empire. I don't remember any stormtroopers and stardestroyers in there.
Both of them were there.

As for the colour of TIE fighters, I must say it is painfully obvious that the blue colour is the bluescreen leaking, in the GOUT you can clearly see the colour flickering all over the place with plain grey underneath.
There are blue and white TIEs: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/exhibit/tie.html
You have some mad skills, bro. Those are probably the best made covers I've seen here.
Found Dagobah and Bespin.
First time I saw the movie I was 8 but it didn't scare me at all, actually. I just loved the movies. Dagobah scenes bored me, though.

Then, for the ones who know the current final version, those final improvements concern:
Just don't say final anymore, thx. :P
My favorite special effect is when they are going to hyperspace in SW and TESB. It looks great and it's like they get to safety from almost being captured.

Although I'm wondering now if Robot Chicken actually thought of it first.
I'm gonna check and see who posted it first. Heh heh.
You posted April 1st at 5:55 PM.

Yeah, because when you're thinking about Tauntaun sleeping bag you always think about Episode V Revisited.

Sorry, what I meant was Laserdisc. Wookieepedia assures me it is different.
This mix, digitally remastered by Ben Burtt and Gary Summers, was supposedly a mix of the best elements of all three original mixes. However, it is primarily a fold-down of the 6-track 70mm mix, with some mono mix elements and additional elements "dialled in".
Isn't that called the GOUT?

I've got scans of some of the original mattes at pretty high res, with the painter's rough work off the canvas still showing, which is quite nice.
Can you share them? :)
After seeing the cover it just hit me - the movie is in NTSC, right? D'oh! Any PAL versions out there?

I think I have a video from 1994 (not a US or UK version) which I think is exactly the same as first video, with the lighter canyon shots and without added sounds to the Tantive IV door blowing scene. Sound is in stereo.By lighter canyon shots do you mean when artoo is in the canyon, which people seem to think got darker in the 93/95 version?
Yup.
skyjedi2005 said:LexX said:ChainsawAsh said:- 2.0 Stereo (1977, 1981 35mm Theatrical, early laserdiscs)
Also on rental videos before 1985. I have the first rental UK video from 83, it claims it's stereo but the sound is actually mono. (not the mono mix, but the stereo mix in mono)
The stereo mix was folded down supposedly to mono on the first issue rental betamax tape, but the vhs was in stereo. I have also read that there was a vhs version that was rare that had the stereo folded down into mono, but have not been able to prove that claim, as i believe by this point in time most if not all vhs releases that were stereo were also mono compatible.
Like I said, I have the first rental VHS and it is in mono. Covers say stereo but it isn't.
Btw, what are the main differences with the 85 version and the original one? I think I have a video from 1994 (not a US or UK version) which I think is exactly the same as first video, with the lighter canyon shots and without added sounds to the Tantive IV door blowing scene. Sound is in stereo.
