1) there were spoiler warnings.

2) Let's take it easy on the language.

Agreed. I'd like to see the Ackbar clip.

"1clip is the original SW Opening Crawl without EpisodeIV A New Hope."

Is it the full crawl, or just the same as what was shown on Empire of Dreams?

"I check my videos to verify that the line was changed and I wasn't going crazy. SO, has anyone else caught this tiny difference? I've never heard any discussion on this changed line before."

Yes, it has been changed and noted.

" i have to admit ive never heard of a jacket_p folder. from what i get from this thread alot of dvd players dont make use of it. is it going to be a problem to leave it out when i burn, if i cant get a hold of it?"

Despite my DVD knowledge, I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago on these boards. It is essentially a screenshot of the album to be displayed when the DVD is selected in a DVD changer. Very few DVD changers (and to my knowledge, no single-DVD players) actually look for this screenshot, so unless you have a Sony CX860 or CX875 or some other "juke box"-style player, it really isn't necessary.

You can do whatever you want with them....at home. What you cannot do resell the material, either altered or in original form.

I do know that Lucas asked for an received a copy of the Phantom Edit, but he never commented on it after viewing it.

It would be nice to compile a list of these audio differences - it would be a boon to certain future projects.

(Along those lines, someone was telling me which soundtrack had the snowspeeder fall & crash sound in ESB. Anyone here happen to know?)

I'd swear I saw Betamax tapes at Frys Electronics the last two times I was there. You might want to call a local one and ask (and if so, grab several for a rainy day.)

I don't see why not. I've done the same sort of thing on VHS tapes numerous times. If you don't try, you'll never see it anyways.

I seem to recall hearing something about this as well. I don't know if there was a full-length mix with her voice, but I do know her voice was dubbed over, so it had to be recorded somewhere.

That's probably the best explanation I've ever heard. Besides, the second DS, while "fully functional", was not full completed.

Interestingly enough, in the original ROTJ writings, there were two new Death Stars.

I had in mind a project similar to this, but I was going to throw in scenes from the film (comics, etc) to give a visual for the dialogue.

"Leia remembered her mother a little bit. She said she didn't remember much more than feelings, but I still can't believe that she would have remembered her as a new-born."

I believe the official explanation is that these are Force visions of her mother, rather than memories. Since she wasn't aware of her Force abilities, she attributed these visions to memories.

"The only practical explanation was that when the twins were split up, Luke was taken to Tatooine and Leia went with Padme and the Organas into hiding on Alderaan. Eventually something would cause Padme's death, but not before Leia had become a little girl and could have reason to have some memory of her mother."

Ironically, it is described as such in the novelization:

Quote
He looked down at their intertwined fingers. "Leia…do you remember your mother? Your real mother?"

The question took her totally by surprise. She'd always felt so close to her adopted parents, it was as if they were her real parents. She almost never thought of her real mother-that was like a dream.

Yet now Luke's question made her start. Flashes from her infancy assaulted her-distorted visions of running…a beautiful woman…hiding in a trunk. The fragments suddenly threatened to flood her with emotion.

"Yes," she said, pausing to regain her composure. "Just a little bit. She died when I was very young."

"What do you remember?" he pressed. "Tell me."

"Just feelings, really…images." She wanted to let it slide, it was so out of the blue, so far from her immediate concerns…but somehow so loud inside, all of a sudden.

"Tell me," Luke repeated.

She felt surprised by his insistence, but decided to follow him with it, at least for the time being. She trusted him, even when he frightened her. "She was very beautiful," Leia remembered aloud. "Gentle and kind-but sad." She looked deeply into his eyes, seeking his intentions. "Why are you asking me this?"

He turned away, peering back up at the Death Star, as if he'd been on the verge of opening up; then something scared him, and he pulled it all in once more. "I have no memory of my mother," he claimed. "I never knew her."

[EDIT] I guess I should add what Lucas said about this idea.

Quote
"The man Leia called Father was obviously not her father. He is part of the group that ends up having to fight Darth Vader in the film that will be out in 2003 [laughs]. The part that I never really developed is the death of Luke and Leia's mother. I had a backstory for her in earlier drafts but it basically didn't survive. When I got to Jedi, I wanted one of the kids to have some kind of memory of her because she will be a key figure in the new episodes I'm writing. But I really debated on whether or not Leia should remember her." - George Lucas: The Annotated Screenplays
