boba_fett, what program did you use to make those covers? specifically the front/back box view?

ALSO, are their any screenshots of this release?

LAST, does the post on alt.binaries.starwars have the new menus, or the simple menu you made dark_jedi?

Hi all,

Just watched these, thanks to ocpmovie (cheers garret), and I've gotta big up Wookie Groomer for his fantastic work that will long stand out in my collection for its unique and informative take on the varying changes to my favourite films throughout the years.

The one thing that stood out the most for me was the endor celebration at the end of ROTJ. So many cuts in the 2004 version, luke and leias hug especially has been cut to hell, for the worse without a shadow of a doubt. Throughout the trilogy I'd become so used to seeing the lower half of the screen black while the various special edition scenes played out, that seeing the top half go black here and there I went back and watched it in slow motion. While the 2004 half does have a few extened scenes of the ewoks, rebels and threepio dancing, both the hug, and Luke's contented expression as he turns to the ghosts (now ruined BTW), suffer greatley in the 2004 version.

Whilst I thought I was fully aware of even the minor changes in the trilogy, this one has thrown me of my guard (which IMO is a credit again to Wookie Groomer).

What are other peoples thoughts on this seemingly pointless dismissal of some very powerful frames?

Yea, the luke/ghost scene at the end was horrible. What was the reason for chopping it up and making it shorter? I am also not 100% sure i like the young anakin ghost,.

Anyone have DVD case sleeves for these releases? Thin case sleeve would be a plus, since I have thin cases, but I can modify the standard.

In the name of Preservation, I'm giving you the un-changed files, exactly as they were posted by Wookie Groomer.

More confusion. What files are the original, the ones in the fix or the main release posted on the newsgroups the other day?

Or is the "Wookie.Groomers.FIXED.EmpireStrikesBack.SplitScreenDVD.rar" at small fix?

Get both.

First get SPLIT-SCREEN_EP5.parts
Keep the files VTS_01_*.*
Replace the files VIDEO_TS.IFO & .BUP with ones from Wookie.Groomers.FIXED.ESB...rar

Use .SFV or .MD5 to test the files. Then you'll have the complete "FIXED" version.
Only if they pass .SFV or .MD5 test, can you be confident (gazillion-to-one probability)
you've got byte-for-byte clones of "FIXED" files posted by Wookie Groomer himself.

Shout out thanks to Wookie Groomer himself
and blow raspberries to whomever changed the .IFO & .BUP and lost the .NFO along the way.
Have you never heard of Preservation ??? Checksums I tell you !

Keep the "non-FIXED" .NFO if you like, but it describes the older Dr.Gonzo-based release, which isn't the one you've got.

Thanks, snagged it. Its on the newsgroups, alt.binaries.starwars.

Quick question, since the NFO is missing, what was fixed with these files? I ran the movie just fine with the other files.

I originaly used Dr. Gonzo's as the 1980 version and it was nothing but trouble to work with. I now used the TR47 version and all seemed to edit smoothly.

Yes, but im confused. Is the entire release "SPLIT-SCREEN_EP5.part001.rar"

I see a "Fix" for Ep5. The nfo file is a duplicate for the release. What is this fix?

Thanks. It looks to me like the TR47 release is best, is this correct?
