Hopefully Disney isn't harder on fan versions than Lucasfilm alone was... If so the future despecialized editions might need to be discussed less publicly. Also, I have great hope now that an official unaltered trilogy will see the light of day in HD, but Harmy's version still needs to happen, not just because the Special Editions are a wrong we still need to prove to Lucas that we can right on our own, but because no studio is going to be nearly so exacting as us super-fans. If we get the holy grail of official releases, there could still be color timing issues, or minor to less than minor tweaks, the "wrong" scrolling text, or just whatever that we don't end up liking; at that point, all the effect I see that having on this project is a 1080p source for a v3.0 to be based off of. We can call it Anal Star Wars (or hopefully something much better, haha). Stharmy Wars?
I look forward greatly to the v2.1, I can't wait for my investment in a Blu-ray burner to finally pay off. Also, I do agree with something Innsmouthian said above and hope you will consider it, removable subtitles for the alien languages I feel would be a very welcome addition to v2.1 and beyond. Not only do burned-in English subtitles greatly interfere with foreign language subtitles, but it also makes the video difficult to use for any other projects and interferes with those who would like to control placement of subtitles (rather them in the black bars, etc.). It is nice that you nail the original font (though I don't know if the v1 placement was ideal, it seemed too high on the screen and with more than one line of text the top line seemed too long compared to the bottom line, top heavy, if you will). Plus, I want all those scenes as pure as possible, and subtitles that someone else put there and cannot be removed feels like a tweak, edit or addition, which the despecialization shouldn't be about. Well, that's my two cents, I look forward to v2.1 regardless.
