Pretty slick, other than your trademark sharpness. =P I'd remove the english characters IDO from the building on the right. Other than that, great stuff!

This is a little off topic, but the problem I have with most of today's menus is that they give away too much of the movie. Someone who has never seen a movie before can have everything spoiled just by seeing the main menu. The same can be said for most of the movie trailers we see today as well. It's a sad state of affairs.

Huh, I had no idea this had been re-edited. The only version of it I've seen is a VHS I bought back in the '90's. I hope you find someone who can help you finish this, I'd love to check it out.

Yeah the line, "a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth." Refers to the fact that he found Hoth and led the charge to establish the new base there. It's actually covered in one of the stories going on in my sig. Though I don't think that particular one hits until next year.

I think it'd be fine as it is but if you were going to change it maybe instead of: "Little do they know that the GALACTIC EMPIRE is constructing a new DEATH STAR in secret." It might work better as: "Little do they know that the GALACTIC EMPIRE is secretly constructing a new DEATH STAR."

One thing that gets me is that they have managed to make chewies face look like he does in the OT yet lucasfilm made him look completely different for ROTS.I never understood how they could get the face so wrong in ROTS.
That's why I like the CW team. They actually care and are fans of the license. It's George that doesn't get it and has them do all the cheese. I remember Dave Filoni the supervising director relating a story about the team closely studying the dejarik holograms and how they moved so they could recreate it for a quick shot in an episode and George didn't get why they were trying so hard to replicate that when they could make them look and move better now.

Love the video quality in that clip. Though I noticed something a bit odd. at 7:30 into it as Leia is being escorted down the hall the stormtrooper on the left has some really weird black flickering going on with the top of his eyes. Is that from the source?

Eh, I think it would work on its own. I'll be trying it out tonight.
It could work on its own but I think it helps to pre-establish the fact that they're not going to the Death Star. That way a viewer that's going into the edit without that foreknowledge won't be flabbergasted or confused by the sudden appearance of the DSII behind the Emperor. Unless that's the intended effect.
Edit: Feel free to ignore this post. It's late and I just realized it works either way. =P

I voted to have the Original Unaltered Trilogy restored. I am unclear about the new Blu-Rays. Is Lucas going to make even more alterations to the films or will these be the 2004 versions?
So far all we know is that there will be an improved transfer of TPM with a digital Yoda and that there will be tweaks done to ANH's audio including a new krayt dragon roar.
On a less solid note, as I've said before I did catch a portion of a digital screening of ANH at CV and Luke's lightsaber appeared to be fixed on the Falcon and the color in general looked better than what I remember from the '04 DVDs.

Well, the film audio itself suffers from pal speedup, whereas other audio clips might not. I can't think of a very good way to fix this other than going in and adjusting the pitch of every alternate audio clip individually. My guess is that it would be easiest to ignore the changes in pitch and just correct the audio to fit the NTSC version.
This is what I've been worrying about.

I'm sure they made more than one of the model that the falcon was (I'm blanking on what it is)
I think that only means there is only one ship named 'Millennium Falcon'...not that they made a one-of-a-kind ship.
...And, besides that, Han (and Vader) say 'The Millennium Falcon'**...not 'THE...'.
What he's saying is that the one that appears in ROTS is actually the Falcon. George specifically requested it and deemed it such. There are many like it, but this one is Han's! (Eventually anyway) =P

I think it's about time. I always knew they'd eventually get around to him given his appearance at the end of ROTS. He'll make the third OT officer to appear in the Clone Wars. They had Ozzel appear as a major in one of the comics.

Actually that's not aurebesh, it's a different alphabet altogether. I'd post up a comparison but it seems my DVD drive has decided to take a vacation. =/

Going off of what I can recall off the top my head...aurebesh has its origins in ROTJ. You can see some of the characters on the DSII's displays. From there the roleplaying game company West End Games adapted the characters taken from that screen and turned it into an actual alphabet and established that as the galactic standard. I recall reading an interview with one of the designers who worked on ROTJ who actually designed the original, and he said that the production actually had their own version written up but it's never been released. Since the release of that roleplaying material, the rest of the expanded universe, the prequels and even the special editions have used it as the official Star Wars alphabet.
As for the languages in Star Wars, that was all the doing of Ben Burtt as zombie has said. He liked to study obscure exotic sounding languages and would scavenge words from them to use. Apparently Ben fell in love with the process because a few years ago he actually wrote an entire travel and phrase book for the Star Wars galaxy. If you'd like to get into all the details of his work I'd recommend you pick up that book. It has a great in depth article he wrote chronicling all the work he did for the films.
