I could tell early on that even the Director's Edition was on a pretty tight budget during the Kolinahr. They wanted to reshuffle the subtitles to make it less obvious the actors were speaking english. They managed to get the raw footage to put in new subtitles, but they could not clean the footage up which is why it looks so scratchy and dirty compared to other scenes in the film. (On that note, wouldn't it be funny if they used the theatrical takes to redo the scene for the Director's Edition since those shots haven't been used since the laser disc?)
If nothing else, I hope that with all the new material the team has discovered that they'll include it in either a newly repuroposed 'deleted scenes' section or a montage of the film's effects in open matte just like the Apogee video from earlier. That would be such a nice sit through.
