Yes, actually. Like my beard?

No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Just make sure you always keep the beard neatly trimmed Ric, otherwise you just look like a tramp...

Ric understands what you did there because he read it and realized that you were doing that thing that he likes to do which is to explain the thing that was already obvious without the explanation.

Just a cool pic of Dave Prowse from A Clockwork Orange. Even though it's a small part, he definitely made an impression.
In spite of his later troubles with the flanneled one, Prowse has said he got along great with Stanley Kubrick, and remained friends long after ACO was made.

"Take Me To Your Cinema"As a kid, I always visualy associated the uncloaked Black Riders from the 1978 LOTR with the partially de-helmeted Vader from the 1983 ROTJ death scene. Anybody else noticed how similar the look is?
(^ There are better example frames but I'm just gooling here)
Deliberate homage from Lucas to Bakshi?

"Take Me To Your Cinema"Here is an experiment I did to show Vader becoming a force ghost (A rough go anyway). Plus I've done a quick 4 minute mini-edit of his final scenes called...
'The Death Of Anakin Skywalker' ;-)

God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

"Take Me To Your Cinema"^ Controversial I know ;-)
Tried 'Yub Nub' and it didn't transition from the pyre music as nicely. btw I like ending on an iris over the 3 ghosts, works a little better than the 'group photo' shot IMO.
It was SilverWook who raised the question of Vader's body not disapearing in another thread, so I thought I'd give it a shot. To really sell the idea, an FX skilled editor would need start Vader's body disapearing in the preceeding shot and add a subtle deflation of Vader's suit. So his chest sinks slightly like a final exhale of his soul. Much more tricky to achieve, but much more effective. Also more work on the music and sound FX would be needed (I just blended in Yoda's death music).
I'm of the opinion that all Jedi should disapearing when they 'Join' the force. I don't like the vague bullsh*t answer from ROTS, that Obi-Wan and Yoda are the only ones that could do it because Qui-Gon told them how to meditate better. Wonder what it would look like if Qui-Gon had disapeared from Kenobi's arms at the end of TPM. Would mean losing/drastically-altering the bizarre funeral scene where everybody stands around really close watching (And presumably listening/smelling) his body burn.

Curse you all, you should have caught me!I always wondered if a subtle edit would work, having Anakin vanish during the last shot where Luke puts his head down, and we only see Anakin's nose.

I am ready for the trials!Anakin's disembodied force ghost nose would be really disturbing, even if it remained Sebastian Shaw. ;)

The CobblerI think this is a very good idea, as a nice little way of keeping up continuity.

Really tremendous. Enjoyed seeing that.
Yub Nub clearly superior but I thought your editing was really subtle and classy.
Like it!

I am ready for the trials!Was on my way out to dinner yesterday evening, and I saw a lightsaber battle going on down at the end of the street. (The blades on the newer models are kind of glowsticky in hue, so it took a moment before I realized what they were.)
Funny thing is, I just put fresh batteries in my own MR saber the night before. Maybe I should join the fray next time? ;)

Some unusual model shots, and what look like test optical composites. Some publicity shots and less common stills in there too. I really dig this one of Mark Hamill.

Magister Pontifex MaximusNow I'm confused, did they start from scratch with the Tantive IV or just modify the original Falcon model?

The latter.
Why would they take a side-by-side w/ an Eagle model? Is this a photo that was used to help the legal people decide if there was a problem?

I am ready for the trials!IIRC, the original Falcon simply became the Tantive. The original cockpit grafted onto the Falcon we know and love.
I suspect the Eagle model is there as a reference to make sure the changes to the minature reduce the similarities. If you've ever seen the prototype model, the Eagle resemblance is more obvious.

"darth endeor was a meanyhead" - FatherSkywalker, et al--QFTThere are some good slides in there for anyone who happens to be working on a deleted/alternate take slideshow.
The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit. Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.
