That is a great idea.

Ha, I guess that this could count as a fan edit - this link has screen caps of a bootleg DVD of Episode III that had Chinese subtitles retranslated back into English. Pretty amazing stuff. Does anyone have a copy of this?

I plan on making a set of covers for these that match my "vintage cardback" style covers (once I'm done with the SE project that is

)

What SE project?

That is awesome. I really wish one of the moderators could make a pinned thread that has info exactly like this for each OT preservation, PT edit, and bonus material disc made. I mean, am I the only one who would like to see something like this? It would take a lot of work, but like I said, I'd be happy to contribute as much as I am able.

Fight! Fight!

Just kidding. I understand what everyone is saying regarding the information being available if you look for it, but that's kind of the problem in and of itself - if you want to know one little thing, sometimes it could take an hour or more to find it buried among the threads, if it is there at all. That's why people ask. Yes it gets redundant, but that's the nature of having your project information hosted in small bits across an entire thread rather than in one concise list. Maybe someone needs to make a special thread or site that sums up just about every question that could possibly be asked (within reason) about every set - that would clear up a lot of the repetitive questioning. Rikter has a lot of the disc technical information compiled, for example, but there is a lack of clear explanation (overall, not just this set) in regards to menu setup, bonus features, easter eggs, transfer process description, menu pics, etc...

Also, it is kind of frustrating for "choosy shoppers" to have only been able to see a small handful of screenshots. Me personally, I wish I knew whether the menus have changed since the original preliminary versions were posted here a few months back. Not trying to be an ass about this at all, either - I've been watching this thread for quite some time and been an active poster the last few months - I've read several project threads start to finish, and there is a lot of junk to weed through to find the important things (which is often relative), if they are there at all.

I'd be happy to work on making an "explanatory" thread if anyone else is interested.

And I still don't know if each transfer project does a different setup for the LD bonus disc!

And maybe how it compares to the forthcoming X0 project.

As long as we are talking about screenshots, I'd love to see some final screenshots of the menus that were created for this set.

Hey MagnoliaFan,

I just wanted to make a humble request, just in case no one else has and you hadn't already considered it (not likely, but just in case).

Will you PLEASE remove the Tusken raider roar when Palpatine is reminding Anakin about how he flipped out on the sand people at the beginning of ROTS? Thanks.

"I myself actually have no current plans to tackle Empire and Jedi anymore. I definitely looked into it, but at the moment, the only footage that has leaked is mostly boring "how we made the effects" type footage rather than true deleted material, and my attempts at Deleted Magic Strikes Back proved uninspiring. I was going to hire actors and record audio for the true deleted scenes in a radio drama fashion, but could never find the right people. So now I am waiting for more decent deleted footage to turn up."

Completely understandable, but it is still a shame. Oh well. Star Wars had the most deleted material to start with, anyway, I believe. Maybe someday Lucas will wake up and release these things, as DVD is finally the perfect medium for it.

- I have not altered the audio for the Cantina scene. It appears as it did on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. I suppose it would be quiet when no one is talking, resulting in gaps of silence. Yes. The Cantina scene features the original dialogue and production sound. The extras would have been instructed to keep quiet. The repeated background noise you hear is "walla" (sound effects) intended to cover the silence. The sound was edited together by Lucasfilm in 1998 or so, and represents a rough "scratch track" rather than polished, finished sound. Hence the gaps. It's filmmaking.

Okay, that makes sense. It just seemed weird how the walla dropped out after a bit - it had me worried that I had lost a sound channel or something similar. Sorry if I sounded crazy when I first mentioned it.

- I am not sure if Mr. Reynolds viewed the COMPLETE film, but he certainly viewed a lot of it. So yes, it is most likely that a complete black and white copy of the Lost Cut exists, probably without any audio, as they weren't able to find the audio in 1998ish when they made Behind the Magic. All the Lost Cut material exists as raw unedited footage in the Lucas archives, in color and with sound, on 35mm film. It has been fairly well stored all these years, and could be restored in color if Lucas wanted, but it would be a big project. Check out the Anatomy of a Dewback Pt. 2 DVD ROM extra on the Deleted Magic disc for a glimpse into those vaults.

The more time I spend here at OT.com, the more fed up I get with Lucas. Kudos to him for creating SW, because it is great, but to hold back things like this is just too much. I understand artistic license, but there is something to be said for reaching out to your fans, too. I never knew an intact (color/audio) copy of the Lost Cut existed, and knowing that just makes me sad. I read something by you somewhere where you were talking about how it is silly that all the cut footage has been scattered across countless documentaries and TV shows, and it just sinks in more and more. I can't understand why, even with the release of the Extra Special Editions, he did not at least release a bonus materials disc that finally contained all the deleted scenes that people have heard about all these years. I guess, though, you more than almost anyone else is in a position to be irked the most about it, though.

So, in conclusion, thanks for doing with Deleted Magic what Lucas should have done years ago. It's sad that it takes the fans to please the fans anymore.

Is there any conceivable way to edit out any helmet-less clones in AOTC and ROTS and still have an intact story? Every time I see them it irritates me. A clone army shouldn’t all be clones of a single person.

You can also see some videos of zion's work in progress at his site.

Thanks so much! That makes this thread irrelevant, I suppose, but I did not know about those site, so thanks!

I've been watching the forum here for a while, and one thing that I've not seen much of, with a few exceptions, are screenshots of the DVD menus on fan-produced preservation of the OT. I've started a thread under the "Preservation And Fan Edits" heading in hopes that people might post screenshots here just for comparison purposes. Hopefully, I am not the only person interested in the stylistic directions that the folks working on these various productions take, so please, if you have a completed fan preservation, post a few screenshots of what your menus look like, as many of these are often little works of art in and of themselves.
