So... those of you who know what you're talking about... how do the colors look?
When I have more to say, I suppose I will

It's a Clone-Wars era fanfic comic... but that page that I linked to? It provides a pretty good fix to the midichlorian debacle.

Comparing the honorable effort of savestarwars.com to RedLetterMedia "reviews", and calling the latter an "excellent work" is an offense to the former.
I think you underestimate the quality of RedLetterMedia's work. Obviously it's a very different product than savestarwars.com, but it's proven far more effective at demonstrating to people the faults of the PT than savestarwars.com has ever been at convincing people that OT-preservation is a serious issue. It's not an offense to the former unless you've got some really bizarre Klingon-style honor system and you either exalt ssw.com beyond what it deserves or unvervalue RLM (or both). savestarwars.com is just a website, and so is RLM.
Here's some great Ralph McQuarrie art that is undoubtedly from the B-Wings sequence that got cut when they couldn't properly composite the B-Wings. This one, meanwhile, is closer to what we got. Both taken from this site.
This claims to be a storyboard of Mon Calamari Cruisers bombarding the surface of DSII, taken from this site though the H in the corner suggest it's from ye olde StarWars.com.

You catch on pretty quick.
eiyosus, you're in the wrong thread (whether you know it or not). You want http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-Big-ESB-Reveal/topic/12783/

I do like the idea of the 451236 order, as a sort of... well, it's the best we can do.
As for plans like Bingo's & Ady's... I'll believe it when I see it. So please, I'd love to see it!
:(
Did no one read my missive? Or was it simply not on-topic since it wasn't about fan edits of the existing footage?
I think I somehow missed it on the first read-through, but I've just read it and I like it. However, I think a mulligan-trilogy would be even more difficult to pull of than fanedits, wouldn't it? I'm interested in fanedits, because they at least seem doable.

Well, this thread has gone to crap. sigh
And there was rejoicing.

It didn't sound like any British accent I'm familiar with but it did sound posh.
Here in America, anything you'd call posh, we call British. Heck, we don't even use the word "posh".

If they hadn't shown Owen and Beru, the audience wouldn't understand how are the Lars and Anakin related.
As folks have pointed out, the explanation found in pre-PT-EU (oh wow) was that the Lars were relatives of Obi's, and Luke just called them Uncle and Aunt either because he believed they were or because that's what people call each other sometimes. It worked. I can easily imagine Obi-Wan saying "I have a brother on Tatooine who might be willing to take him in.", though I think an earlier mention of this would be good.
That being said, the current setup has never bothered me. Anakin has dreams about his mom. He tracks down his mom. His mom is married. He has a step-brother. None of that is implausible. It's really just the part where they decide to put Luke on Tatooine at all that irks, but... well, if there's a bright center to the galaxy, it's farthest from it.
Those of you think you can preserve the surprise and the I->VI viewing order, how do you respond to Puggo's statement? I'll quote it again:
Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said:
Furthermore, it would be impossible to hide the reveal... when Ben talks about Anakin being a good friend that he was tutoring, who ELSE could he be talking about? He also says that Vader helped the empire destroy the Jedi. In ep.3 we watch Anakin do all those things, and then become Vader. You'd have to ditch pretty much all of ep.3. Hmm, not a bad idea, now that I think of it.
As much as it's risky opening this up to a prequel-rewrite topic (oh god it never ends)... How do you think it's possible?
Alternatively, if someone knows where in the monstrous, unnavigable Prequel Redux thread this has been sufficiently covered, I'd be grateful for links.

You have indeed stated my concerns with Ady's Revisited plans. Leaving out the "Rise...NOOOOOooooooo" scene is easy enough, but it's all that other Vader-stuff that Ani does that really... well, I don't see how it's doable.
First word: fuck
"No. I am your father."
I've seen people say on here that, when editing ROTS, they want to preserve the Vader-is-Anakin reveal. Why?
I ask, because I don't remember ever not knowing this fact (disclosure: born in 1987). I don't remember ever being surprised by Vader's statement. I understand that, for 1980 audiences, this was a huge revelation, and it may have been the most memorable thing about the film, but does a surprise here really make ESB a better film?
So I guess part of the trees in the SE version are fake replacements?
Do you mean the forest, or the sky? If you mean the forest...it's the same forest. If you mean the sky... In the original, the clouds in the sky of Yavin IV are somehow behind Yavin. It's one of the 2004 changes that really, really made a lot of sense.
Music replacement might help make the approach to Otoh Gunga better. Mario Underwater music or something?
For me, I haven't had problems with audio echo... but I have had distraction issues with the audio jumps, particularly where you've looped or repeated a few seconds. It really takes you out of the film, if that makes sense.
The soundtrack, I assume he means.

The point of the avatars is to make it easier to see who started the topic
True, that's their current official purpose.
Avatars also serve as a visual reminder as to which threads are which, which is (for me, at least) quicker than reading the title. I get different threads confused when people switch avatars.
I think this is a great idea.
Yeah, but for some reason it's never mentioned in the films. So weird!
Anyway, back on subject...
And furthermore, woudln't you be able to have anti-lightsabre shielding pretty easily, then? Let's just give up on the physics of Star Wars right now, okay?
(Although you have to admit that blasters can't be lasers, given their projectile nature. But I digress)
How many people here are familiar with the term "circlejerk"?
