Here's a little sample from one of the clips DJ sent me. Top is project blu, bottom is GOUT just resided to the same size:

Click for bigness ;-)

That's no moon, it's a space station, damnit!

I already have the V3, and I thought DJ did a brilliant job on it, one that cannot be topped, and yet, hot dog! DJ outdid himself - UNBELIEVABLE! I want one!

I just finished watching the entire V3 trilogy in one sitting (OK, I had a break for dinner, so shoot me).

I can only say it is fantastic. The colours are excellent, not oversaturated, not washed out - just perfect in my view. Sound is excellent on my 5.1, picture is brilliant on my 46" LG, and it is everything I have been waiting for. Let me put it this way, Carrie is so HOT once again! :D I think she looked best at the end of SW when she gave them the medals.

Moving on, not counting the prequels, I really fear what George is going to do next with the upcoming Blu release. Maybe he'll reshoot that "let me look at you with my own eyes" scene of ROTJ with Haydn instead.. !

No, for me, these are the definitive Star Wars movies. DJ and team have managed something truly fantastic. I can't decide whether I should be more grateful or more in awe of the sheer hard work done here. Maybe both? :D

In the mean time, here is a question that's been bugging me for a long time, maybe someone can enlighten me..

In SW, C3P0 says "There'll be no escape for the princess this time", then later, upon viewing the recording from R2, he says "It's someone of some importance I presume, a passenger from our last voyage". My question is, from the first statement (which is right at the beginning), it seems to imply that C3P0 knows who Leia is (and quite a bit about what she does no less), so why is C3P0 acting like he doesn't know who she is when he sees the recording? OK, so C3P0 is not exactly the smartest nail in the box, still.. ;)

OK, didn't mean to ramble OT - ignore me. Just have a GOUTv3 high is all :)

Hi DJ,

When I was a kid growing up, I spent a lot of time home alone. One of the things I had with me was a VHS recording of a TV broadcast of Star Wars. I must have watched it over a 100 times. I could recite entire parts of dialogs by heart. When I was finally old enough to earn my own keep, of course, I bought the VHS of SE.

Fast forward to about six months or so ago, I found your GOUT v2. I signed up and paid for a Usenet account just so I could download it. Then, while it was downloading, I found this thread. After reading it, seeing screencaps, discussions, etc, days turned into weeks, and then I realised, I could not bring myself to watch the v2. I wanted to watch the best, and the best is DJ's v3. So v2's been sitting on my Drobo ever since, and I've not yet played it once.

Since I found this thread, I've been hitting refresh on this thread on a daily basis, and today, I see it's up at myspleen. I still have my Usenet account, and I hope you will put it there as well, but regardless, I've sent a PM to ask for an invite. And yes, in order to send a PM, I've joined OT.com.

In short, what I wanted to tell you was my heartfelt thanks for all the work you have done. As a Star Wars fan, I appreciate it very, very much. I don't know about anyone else, but for me, personally, what you have done makes a very big difference - and my thanks to you for it.

b.r.
