Harmy,

I think there is one more mistake. The 1983 70mm 5.1 audio you’ve included is actually hairy_hen’s custom “Message From a Jedi” mix, which includes an extra music cue in the force ghost scene at roughly the 46-minute mark. This is an easy mistake to make as the 4k83 folks accidentally included this version for some time as well. PM me if you want more info on hairy_hen’s theatrical mix.

Harmy if you are going to be re-rendering the video to fix the subtitle, can you also check the encoding bitrate of the video. I’m noticing some compression looking artifacts going on particularly in dark areas. For example check the rebel briefing chapter with some of the shadowed characters in the background. I’ve only looked at the UHD version, so not sure if it also affects the HD version. It could also be because I’m on a terrible computer monitor right now with bad black levels, so its possible when I view it on a proper TV later it won’t be noticeable.

That being said without watching it fully yet, I think this is probably the definitive version of ROTJ at the moment!

I’ve found that 10-bit encoding works wonders for dark area artifacts and banding.
