To use the overused: Impressive.
Yeah, I think she was sort of cranky. She did enjoy parts of the film, just not continuously enough.
So, I watched this with my sister over the weekend. We enjoyed it, mostly, though eventually she got bored and played Minecraft. The film vacillates between incredibly hilarious and slow/boring, but the funny bits are probably worth it. I look forward to either TRMSE, AOTR, or both.
Re: The Ending Celebrations
In terms of integrating the two trilogies, the closing celebrations on Naboo and Corouscant are crucial. Tatooine and Bespin are nice, too. In general, it depends on whether or not you want this to be the closing act of the story of Luke or the story of Anakin (and Luke). If you're going for OT-only, then cutting them is fine. If you're going for 6-Film-Saga, you gotta include them.
Also, the music John Williams wrote for their 97 addition is actually really nice, and much better than YubYub.

Just for curiosity, do you know some websites that list all the portions which added or converted by Mr. Lukas over the course of years?
You've come to the right website. This thread links to the following galleries, run by our very own 005.
Empire Strikes Back Visual Comparisons
Return of the Jedi Visual Comparisons
I don't think anyone has put together a really good list of audio changes.
Those titles are Ridi....okay, yeah.
Trying to make sure the Ridiculous PT is done before the Revisited OT, eh?
From my limited understanding, colorization of black and white footage is difficult and almost always doesn't look that great.
Off topic but relevant to why you're asking: When it comes to a good ROTJ edit, I remain convinced we need to film new things.
Done

That's a great idea, timdiggerm. Is there an easy website that allows one to do that, as I don't feel like starting a new one myself?
Google Docs lets you share a document between people, collaborative editing, revision history, etc. How's that sound?
Looks like another idea for Frink
sent and sent
Might I suggest that, at some point, we do a sort of Virtual Edition Style script? Check out the links of the left side of that site to see what I mean. Basically, an illustrated script, though I could do without all the click-throughs. That way, we can put up visualizations as they come. One of the problems with the Wishlist thread is a huge lack of organization. Maybe sequencing visualizations would help.
Apparently I am bad at reading today and shouldn't've said what I said. Thus...
December 24 - Christmas Eve
December 25 - Christmas
December 26 - Boxing Day

This last stretch of comments has made me LOL so hard, it's ridiculous.
Nothing is too ridiculous for a Revisited thread.
Question: How does Luke's bizarre, meeting-ending entrance into the DSII Briefing make sense if he didn't go anywhere between Tatooine and the Fleet? It's already ridiculous in the original cut.
Also, I'm really glad you liked my idea. I'm hoping we can find the right costumers to pull it off eventually.
EDIT: The idea of building the DSII anywhere near Corouscant is ridiculous. The thing is secret, and you're going to build it next to the most important, populous, busy planet in the galaxy?
I haven't had a chance to read the script, and won't until tonight at the earliest, but I had a thought Re: The Bothan Spies intro
So, other than the obvious problem of filming an entirely new intro sequence featuring the adventures of several actors in Bothan costumes, with props, blue screens, stormtroopers and more, there's the story problem of none of the main characters being present. This is a particularly difficult problem to overcome because we can really only film masked characters.
But what if Leia, in the Boushh armor, was part of the operation? By introducing Boushh early on as part of the Rebel Spy operation, the viewer will already consider Boushh a separate character, making the Leia-reveal more surprising. It doesn't resolve the "No Main Characters" problem for the first viewing, but it fixes it on subsequent viewings. It also gives us a new way to see Leia as a fighter, which I suppose is always good?
Boushh's final appearance in that sequence could involve getting into some sort of personal ship, receiving a message and looking at a hologram/photo of the Falcon parked on Tatooine. Hopefully aspersions could be cast on the character during the Bothan Operation scene, causing the audience to doubt Boushh's allegiance. The word "Bounty Hunter" could be used. On first view, the viewer should think "Oh no, this creepy bounty hunter has found the Falcon!", a thought which will be completed when he appears with Chewie. On second view, the viewer will know that Leia has been contacted and told where to meet Lando & Co.
I really would miss the Sith theme sped up if you got rid of that celebration.
For some reason, I had envisioned the Bothan Opening Sequence as taking place on Corouscant.
As for why: Helps tie the saga together. Helps make the closing shots of the riots a little more sensible.
Although it should be pointed out that in Spence's Special Features, he talks about the idea of leaving Fett in, having Han intentionally hit his jetpack, not showing him actually falling into the Sarlaac's maw, and then showing him regaining consciousness and watching the Skiff fly away at the end. He left it out because his edit became much more Luke-centric, but I do like the idea.

flip em all to make it look more authentic.
I'll always try to find an easier way before the suggestion new shots entrly btw
I'm sorry, but no. Flipping them doesn't look more authentic. For things like the Tantive Escape Pod, it will still be plenty easy to recognize.
Also, I don't really think it sounds particularly like Henson.
But Ady's reason is better.
