Hello,

I have looked through the effort (the German textcrawl combined with a starfield) and it does not look really well to me. It does not feel like Star Wars: the letters which have wandered off to the back are practically unreadable (as they are in the original version); the crawl colour feels greenish instead of warm yellow. The bleeding on "Lucasfilm" and "Es war einmal..." is quite disturbing (on 2.35:1 German LD rips I have here it is not the case, and the sharpness is comparable).

I would prefer a mostly unaltered German textcrawl with less visible stars, than such an artificial composition.

Don't forget the German End Titles for EP IV as well!
In fact, send me your address through the Cinefacts forum, I'll send you what I have on crawls etc.

Animorphic would be altered as well.

In fact, the original theatrical versions were in an anamorphic format when they ran theatrically.

Thanks!

About the missing 3PO-Word, there it is:

Chapter 6 -> 3PO and R2 in the desert
3PO to R2-D2: "Wie sind wir nur in diese jammervolle Situation geraten? Ich weiß es wirklich..."
The word nicht is missing.

I actually have MPEG2-Recordings of the German textcrawls (and German end Credits of ANH) from the Silver Screen LDs (2.35:1 non-anamorphic). However, the picture quality is not great, especially on the first textcrawl. You barely can see any stars.

I think there will be a need to do more things for a new German FP (probably a mod to the LS FP):

- Add the lines missing from the FOX GOUT release from ANH: the lines about the helmet and the missing word in C3POs sentence.
- Make an anamorphic picture.
- Add the old German textcrawls (the FOX GOUT release only has English textcrawls translated by subtitles) from the Laserdisc as multiangle.
- Add the English alternative textcrawl for Episode IV (without "A NEW HOPE" as seen in GOUT)
- Add all the bonus materials which FOX left out
