Yeah, but it's not the version we'd actually like to see released. The missing Falcon dish is evidence enough that it's not quite the finished product. In the world of software (which is where I work), it'd be 0.9 or something.

I can say that the donation drive went very well, though! We thank you for your generosity, we'll all benefit from it soon enough!
"We?"
Are you the official spokesman?It must be tough :/
He does run the official site.

The thing that bothers me that I've always noticed is X-Wing ladders. Once he climbs into the cockpit, if there's no crew there he has to just cast off the ladder to the ground. How many of those do you think he goes through? =P
Yeah, that bothered me as well.
Ladders? Why would he need a ladder when R2 can just boost him up there with his rockets? Why does he need an X-Wing when R2 can just take him where he wants to go?
Silly xhonzi, everyone knows that Artoo's rockets are broken, and the warranty ran out just before ANH starts!

Nevertheless, I know that the deleted scenes can be cleaned up enough to look acceptable on a standard definition DVD. Especially if it is edited into the original 1977 version that was released in 2006.
Let me recommend you get ahold of Dark Jedi's V3 Preservation. It's the 2006 GOUT (George's Original Untouched Trilogy) release, but made anamorphic, color-balanced, etc. That's the version you're looking for.
I'm having trouble finding that. (I could use some help.) I'll keep looking. Thanks for the excellent suggestion.
Here's the V3 Project thread. As it says, they're available on myspleen.

The workprint? Care to explain?
Pretty sure it's meant to be a metal bar. Luke's suppose to chop the thing in half. He stacks rocks, he slices bars, he deflects fake lasers and he duels visions. Pretty simple training materials.
Sometimes a bar is just a bar.
No, no, that's not the point. Just because a few people on a message board haven't said they don't like it doesn't mean no one will like it. Youtube doesn't have a limit on how much video you can upload, so you should just leave it. Eventually someone will see it and like it!
And your English is fine. I did not know it was not your native language.
I think this is getting into the realm of being mean to George for the sake of being mean to George.
That's... a really fantastic idea.
I am tired of it, and I believe that the less we talk about it, the better we are.

So they created a new colorization technique themselves just for that episode, and the results are amazing - I really don't think it's possible to tell the difference between the rest of the episodes and the color episode. It's that good. They even include a segment on the DVD about how they did the colorization.
Given some of the OT Deleted Scenes, this is probably very tantalizing to Fan Editors.

Am I the only one tired of this discussion? It also makes me nervous. Less talk like this, the better in my opinion.
Yes.
Do remember that you are completely making things up. You don't own any footage.
And if you're using your computer, you don't need any burner or disc.
Crazy Idea: Have the movie be 2hrs long, like most SW movies.
In terms of making a complete saga, it's probably best to have a clothed 3P0 in the Queen's entourage...but good luck with that.

There is the Cereal box thing (where three boxes put together spell Star Wars) I think it has images of PT cast members.
Pringles currently has a Star Wars cans promotion, and it's all the OT.
Only eat Pringles! Never eat cereal! Anything less is supporting George's PT!
I can't wait for Puggo's Swedish preservation of a postcard reproduction of the Original, Untouched Mona Lisa, complete with mouse poop!
Replacing Wat Tambor with Grevious is great unless you restore Grevious=Maul, in which case it might get complicated with Dooku. No?
What... what are those "Lost Rebels" on the Falcon doing? Clearly there was supposed to be something with the Falcon getting obviously damaged and repaired, but what's with the guys that look ready to repel a boarding party?
Surely one could find people capable of doing good impressions for the Sandstorm or other, similar sequences.
The ROTJ stuff is most fascinating to me, because of the potential for fan edits. I wish I knew more about what it would take to clean up these shots. Is good-looking colorization of the female pilots possible? For scenes requiring the dialogue to re-recorded, what about impressionists? Music? There's a lot of work that could be done.
All in all, proper use of that stuff in ROTJ:R or any other ROTJ project is going to require a whole lot of work.
I'm pretty sure it was on Entertainment Tonight or something like that, but I've said that before.
Do we have any theatrical bootlegs from 1997?
So glad to finally see this. Pretty sure it's useable with cleanup, no?

Yeah, but the lightsaber in your sig doesn't even have a white-hot core, so what do you really know, anyway?
