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?

The logic doesn't follow, but I suppose it's a bit of a nod towards the fact that he knows what's going on in this end of the fan community.

As much as a little less Jedi Council would make some sense in the prequels (Seriously, why does the whole Council show up to celebrate a peace treaty on Naboo?), I don't really think eliminating Yoda from the end of ROTS is doable.

ARSE is short for ANH:R:SE which stands for "A New Hope : Revisited : Special Edition" which refers to the HD redo of "A New Hope : Revisited" that Adywan'll be doing after he does ROTJ:R but before he tackles his prequel project.

It has associations in my head with the line that someone on here came up with about how Lucas's attempts at fixing the films are only half-assed, but here at OT.com, we go full-assed!

But yeah, it's a joke.

Now there are two of them!

To be honest, I'm no longer capable of knowing if this line is terrible. After seeing it popup in Frink's edit so much, it just makes me laugh.

Oh gosh.

Maybe?

That, Frink, is something I've been wondering for awhile.

So good to finally see Red Leader's line about meeting Luke's father. Not sure why that needed cutting, ever, and could totally see it being in ARSE.

Yes, too harsh. And people wonder why this place has a bad reputation.

I found the Lando ones to be a little too... bizarre. Space Manta Rays? Minharp of the Sharu? What.

But I do love them. They just seemed to go too far in the fantasy direction, even for Star Wars (Wizards In Space!)

If any group can go over a Star Wars film with a fine-toothed comb, it's this one.

Behold, there is already a really good thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/What-do-you-LIKE-about-the-EU/topic/10207/

what...what is happening with the lights?

One thing that should NOT be changed...

Shortening, or taking out Lightsaber fights (with the exclusion of any Yoda fight scenes. So unnecessary.) I see a lot of talk about how people here think the PT fights are "frivolous" and "over choreographed." I am STRONGLY against this line of thinking. 

You see, the argument is that these fights have no resonance because we don't care about the characters/plot. However, if Ady can correct those issues, then all of a sudden we have our epic lightsaber battles AND a coherent plot.  Maybe it's because I'm younger, and grew up loving the PT fights, but I would be crushed if they were to be shortened/deleted in any way. 

Even the final ROTS duel? That thing is so needlessly long, with action & settings that border on the ridiculous/laughable

What does the use of an alternate take imply about transfers, scanning, cleanup, etc?

General Star Wars Discussion is most of the problem. The topic-specific forums (Theatrical vs SE, Preservations, FanEdits) are mostly fine other than some bickering.

Of course, I mostly just go to Theatrical vs SE to see the Comparions thread

This is why I much prefer savestarwars.com to be the public front.

I think that's meant to be Artoo on the comlink and they are debating what each beep means.

No, watch his line at 0:19 ... definitely meant to be Ani making those sounds.

Also, pretty sure those are temp-Artoo noises? They don't sound like Artoo himself.
