Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

First of all, I only have registered for saying Thanks to Harmy and everyone else involved, amazing Work!!!

And since I’m from Spain, Thank you so mucho for including Castillian in your releases. It’s so much pleasure to see these movies so beautiful and in the language I have always watched them!!!

Secondly, I would like to make my little contribution to two discussions:

I noticed a bit of an anomaly (it may have been in the original version and I just didn’t notice it) at 00:02:58 to 00:03:06 you can see white Storm Troopers(?) walking across the Death Star (I assume they’re building it). There is a light box around them until they stop walking at 00:03:06. I don’t recall if this was in the original version or not and if so I just didn’t notice it before. I realize it’s a little late to be pointing this out so I’m going to assume it’s supposed to be there.

If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that’s a matte line. It was in the original, removed from the Special Editions (because it was unintentional but largely unavoidable in the original), and restored for the Despecialized Edition.

Actually it’s a matte box and the shot is unchanged from the BD, where it was in turn unchanged from the original version (as evidenced by the presence of matte boxes).

But I’ve never actually noticed those little guys before. Cool little detail!

Well, there you go. Thanks Harmy!

In this, reviewing that shot in question, I believe that the “light box” is actually the sparks from a welder, or at least that is what it seems to me. I also never noticed those two workers there, amazing how a movie like this can bring something entirely new in only one more watch.

Also, for those looking for a theatrical version of Lapti Nek and Yub Nub, I would like you to take a look at this site:

http://www.dorisergioslibrary.com/bso-star-wars/

In there, there is some “complete soundtracks” for each of the six movies, fanmade (i think), but of great quality. In the Return of the jedi one, in particular, the versions of Lapti Nek and Yub Nub are very close to what sounds in the movie.

Check them out and share your thoughts.
