All this talk about the cave's origins are starting to sound like a Prequel Edit Wishlist item. But that would definitely be World-Shrinkage.
On the other hand, Anchorhead probably doesn't read this.

Well, a negative for what was for a long time (and should have remained that way) a deleted scene. Even as notorious a hoarder as Lucas apparently is, it's understandable that that scene might have been lost. I mean, look at the available footage we have of the Anchorhead scenes...
To bring it all back around, I suspect we'll finally be able to see Anchorhead at full-frame-rate with the Blu Rays. Not sure of the resolution, but it'll be better than what we've got.
Oh hey wow, great job retiming the sudden door too!
What a list. Time to think a lot more about the ROTJ Wishlist thread, I guess...
EDIT: I should say, though, that not all of his points are legit.
Watching Returning to Jedi at present, so I just thought I'd make sure that it was stated: New Endor Strike Team sequences should be sure to include the Prune Faces.
The slowed-down one definitely looked...strange to me. I could feel the slowness.
I think we're going in circles now.
I'll say this: I would be okay with that scenario, though I don't think it's the optimal solution.
However, wouldn't that option also cost Lucas more?
Hahahahaha
That's even better than the "Palpatine is secretly his father" theories.

I remember the idea of resurrecting the (original?) intent of having the DSII orbiting the Imperial Capital (Corouscant, let's call it) was briefly discussed. As I'm not one to entirely throw an idea out, did we ever talk about what it would take to do that? I mean, I guess it would ruin all the Endor stuff, which is a problem....
Oh, no, believe me, I'm not knocking the technical accomplishments of ROTJ. Those are huge.
In particular, the Death Star II battle. Holy crap. How did they... Wowzers.
You know, I thought I hated it, but I watched it last night (DJ's GOUT V3 if you care, though I really do like the SE/2004 ending music and interplanetary party), and I was amazed at how much I liked it, post-Jabba. The Jabba stuff...needs work.
I am so glad someone is willing to debunk conspiracy theories.
Ripplin, that's a quality story. Always remember, Star Wars is Space Opera, not Hard Sci-Fi. Is it technologically possible? Does it make completely sense? Probably not, and that is just fine.
Greenpenguino is the new Frink! Frink is the new Ric! Ric is the new...um...

not true, but would make a good EU novel.
I suppose it is a sad commentary on the EU that you actually fooled me.

One-eyed monster in the garbage room? Elaborate backstory.
How elaborate are we talking, here? I mean, a monster inside a space-station? I assumed that was not...normal?
aaaand the Ewoks fleeing their villages could result in a much larger Ewok army, which would probably help make this all plausible. Of course, then it starts getting Avatar-y...

The reason that I put my .02 worth occasionally on sites like blu-ray.com, is not so that GL reads it, but so that the myriads of other people who don't even know there is this issue, read it. Far more people read blu-ray.com than read ot.com. And I figure that for each one of us, there are thousands that would agree if they knew about it. I've even met a sound engineer at skywalker sound that didn't know this controversy existed.
What we need is an awareness campaign.
^This. Well put.
Not sure why seatroopers wouldn't just have some sort of water-jet system on their feet or back. Way faster.
But I do love that art. If only McQuarrie had done the prequels.
Okay, I don't think a lack of the Mono track would make it a Special Edition. I think some people would like it to be there, and I know it has some unique things that separate it significantly from the other mixes... but I'll be surprised if it's there. How many people outside of this forum care about it?
Although the sky really doesn't seem purple enough....

the original FX are a huge part of the film's historical value, they were a great achievement at the time and redoing them in a computer totally takes that away, the matte lines and extra grain are just a natural part of the special effects technology of the time.
For the record, this right here is my exact opinion and, I think, makes the most sense. OT-Preservation is about the fact that, in 1977, how big movies were made changed tremendously, and the original special effects were part of that.
