I’d agree with BMadden- People who can only do the 25GB disks shouldn’t miss out on the doco disk to complete their series. You’ve put together such an amazing series of disks, I think that consistency is the most important thing here… but that being said, this is totally your project, and whatever you decide will make us all happy.
Congratulations on making it through another school year (my wife is a teacher, I know how momentous a feat it truly is) and finishing your book! Sorry to hear about your dad, I’m sure it’s all a bit overwhelming. I’m looking forward to seeing RotP, but of course, in due time, when you’re ready.
Thanks!
Dahmage- these look great!!!
I’m sorry if this has been brought up before, but I’m seeing a tint-shift between cuts of the scene with Darth choking out the rebel guy near the start. In some angles, its colored “light-mint” which I expected. Then it shifts to a light magenta tone when the camera changes, and then back to mint.
I’m assuming it must be inherent to the actual stock that was used to make 1.0-1.6? If not, am I just crazy, is my TV broke, etc?
Thanks guys!
dahmage- this will be great! I had intended to do the same, but my wife had other plans for my free time 😃
Despite awaiting it eagerly since it was first announced here, I have only recently gotten around to acquiring v1.0.
It’s gorgeous. Fantastic clarity and detail, color feels right - I actually prefer the slightly desaturated filmic look even to Despecialized. If Lucasfilm released this on Blu-ray, I wouldn’t complain.
I honestly feel it’s the most correct-looking version of the film I’ve ever seen.
I’d love to see v1.6 but I don’t see a Spleen invite in my near future, and I’m more than happy. hopefully the ISO or at least an MKV will show up somewhere else in the future.
Paradox.
a.b.starwars too…
njvc-
I’m wondering if only including the Despecialized tracks, as they come on Harmy’s release of ESB 2.0, (rather than including Superego, Rifftrax, etc) will give you enough room for the BD25? Not sure if it will help the BD50 though, but it would line up well with how you released the BD25 for SW (only using the audio tracks that have traditionally come with Despecialized releases)…
Again, no need to be sorry! These releases are amazing, and I’m sure we can all be patient while you take your time…
Hey njvc - I burned ESB BD25 (Feature Only) to a BluRay and popped it in my player, and was flummoxed why the DTS-HD tracks weren’t showing up properly on my receiver. I went through all my player and receiver settings, and everything seemed normal. I even put my SW disk in the verify, and it showed up just fine.
Next step, run the disk through MakeMKV to see what the track options are, and sure enough, somehow (at least my copy, from Mega) only the “core” audio tracks got burnt to the iso (and therefore my disk).
Not sure if this was intended, or perhaps a slight oversight? Just wanted to confirm I’m not crazy, and that the ESB BD25 only has the standard DTS, and not the DTS-HD tracks.
Thanks for all the great work you’ve been doing!

The Grindhouse release of ESB should have the 35mm optical track present to be sure.
I just checked, and Grindhouse doesn’t have the yell you’re looking for…
PM sent, ahughes03.
Thanks!
I’d love to check out these versions of the first two, DragoonClawNZ. Would you mind sending another PM?
Thanks in advance!
I suppose I should see a doctor about my spleen…
Check your PMs
Peter, not that you need to hear it more on a community forum (even though you absolutely deserve it), but thanks, for all you’ve contributed.
Mike, thanks for taking the time to post so many details, and answer so many questions. Your work is very impressive, and I wish you all the best in your upcoming non-shower pitch!
I can’t find the movie on usenet. Can someone please invite me to my spleen?
It’s definitely there- a quick ab usenet star wars search (or just go to the group) will find appropriate links… just remember that the file requires the appropriate password in order to complete, so make sure you plug that in to your SAB/NZBGet type program… It was posed on 1/17, if that helps…
