I didn't say I didn't understand what was meant, but it doesn't read as gramatically correct to me.
It's the difference between "Pizza tastes nice, as does ice cream" - where the conjunction links the two halves of the sentence - and "Pizza tastes nice. As does ice cream" where the second sentence has no meaning independent of the first.
But then "Pizza tastes nice. And so does ice cream" does look (marginally) acceptable to me, so perhaps it's just a personal preference.
Eh... I can't deny the crazy awesome amount or quality of work Adywan has put into this edit, and I wish I had as much patience to have made some of those same improvements in my edit, but in some cases I can't help thinking he goes a little bit Lucas.
Making Tatooine rotate. Adding blinking (and extra) eyes to lizards on Dagobah. Basically things that mostly just scream "look at me, I'm new!" rather than making a positive contribution. I also couldn't agree with his recutting of the Ben/Luke dialogue in Ben's shack. Yes, it does appear that's how the lines were originally shot; but that doesn't mean the original edit wasn't better.
That, and the unending stream of adoration he received got kinda weird at times.
But hey, that's the beauty of fan edits, and people said the same of some of the stuff I did. And I'm proud of having played a small part in it:
So I decided that the original trilogy DVD's need fixing but just never got round to doing it until i was amazed by the ADigitalMan/Darth Editous [me!] Hybrid DVD . I loved it so much i wanted to make my own
You said it was 3:2 - I initially thought you were weirdly referring to the 720x480 picture, which is (if it was in square pixels) 3:2. Now I see you were apparently referrig to cadence. But it's not. As you've just said yourself, the 3:2 cadence was (not quite correctly) undone.
So in summary:
You said it was 3:2 - it's not.
You said it was anamorphic - it's not.
You said it was in 5.1 - it's not.
So what are you actually claiming to be right about?
I've downloaded it. It's pretty good. Pretty grainy compared to what we're all used to these days, especially in dark scenes. Grain and subjective quality varies a fair bit from scene-to-scene and sometimes shot-to-shot, but is probably fairly representative of how it would have looked in cinemas in 1977.
Allow me to be the first, and possibly only, to say: that's cool. To each his own.
Myself, I like a combination of the two. Some of the SE stuff is great, some... not so much. That's why I was once a Star Wars fan editor. Before it was cool:p
but should certainly be up to the best of what SD can do
Not really, they're not. There's too much noise reduction which manifests as temporal blurring, and they're not anamorphic transfers. I'd say they're a little closer to the best Laserdisc quality than to the best DVD quality.
No they don't jackass. Empire Strikes Back has a different actor play the Emperor with different dialog.
Perhaps you should check your facts before going apeshit.
The 2006 DVD release included the original versions of all three films as bonus features. They were not great quality, having been cheaply produced from an ageing laserdisc master.
His co-conspirator is in a store about to pay for something. Their phones are linked to relay the RFID communications from the POS terminal between them. The terminal thinks it's communicating with the phone (or a modified card, linked to a phone) in the shopper's hand, but it's actually communicating with a card at a remote location.
I have no idea if this would actually work. I would hope that the terminals at least enforce a minimum communication time delay but there probably has to be some leeway in it.

That should be "fewer lawyers".
We'll see what my lawyer has to say about that.
As would a world with a little attention to proper grammar.
I'll have to ask Clippy what he thinks of you starting a new sentence with a subordinating conjunction. It certainly looks wrong to me.

Actually no. Watch closely - you never see Han fire.

The LaserDisc version is the remastered version. It doesn't have all the Special Ed. edits, but it does have a few.
Eh? What Laserdisc version has any special edition bits? None that I'm aware of...
It was demonstrated by those studies, but how well was it explained?

As many as what? 60? That's one a second. That's... not very fast.
But I am not, therefore you are in error.
That pedantic enough? ;)

VLC reports the framerate as 23.809523.
How is this even possible, legally?
It's not. Not legal, anyway. But not being legal doesn't make something impossible.

I've got a copy in 3:2 anamorphic with 5.1 Dolby.
Not of the pre-Special Edition theatrical releases you haven't - which is what we're talking about, so please shut your noisy mouth.
If it's the original movie it's not "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope."
Pedantry aside, FYI this transfer is the "original movie."
There's no "Episode IV: A New Hope" on the scroll.

That's what JoeMerchant was talking about.
not only separated by a physical wall, but protected by an air gap
Normally you put the most surprising thing second. In this context a physical wall is an "air gap."
It needs quotes, at the very least.
Paris Attacks Would Not Have Happened Without Crypto
That should really have been put in quotes to make it clear that this is what some guy is saying, and not anything remotely approaching a fact.
And even if technically true, the implications behind the making of the statement should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.
An idea from a few posts above:
His co-conspirator is in a store about to pay for something. Their phones are linked to relay the RFID communications from the POS terminal between them. The terminal thinks it's communicating with the phone (or a modified card, linked to a phone) in the shopper's hand, but it's actually communicating with a card at a remote location.

Wrong:
found to be a distinct species based on the layers in the specimens' skulls.
A group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other
A may be "very similar" to B, and B may be "very similar" to C, but A may not be "very similar" to C.
So how do you divide A, B, and C up into species?
