"Star Wars: Bounty Hunter - Beyond The Game 2.0" 3-DVD by Galactus + MoveAlong + ThrowgnCpr ** NOW AVAILABLE! **
Time

Wow, beautiful release, really!

So far, I've watched the purist cut, and it's really great to be able to watch the whole story that way. It's the right balance between a longplay that can easily be... too long to watch, and a cutscenes-only montage where we miss a lot of the story. It really does the job perfectly.

Fans who are not gamers, and even those who just haven't played Bounty Hunter, this is really for you. Here you have a good expanded universe story presented in a very understandable and comprehensive way.

The DVD menus are very well made, very professional, clean and right in the mood.

And the Special Features are just amazing, I think it would be very hard to find a more complete coverage of the game. This release could really be subtitled "The Completist Edition" (special mention for the glitches video!).

 

Ah, this release brings back so many memories, and not only of the game (god, can you believe that it was released 11 years ago?...) but I know Galactus was working on it for so long now, I'm so happy that it is finally made and released.

Congrats to Galactus, MoveAlong and ThrowgnCpr, great job guys!

(And thanks again Galactus for sending me an all-printed set)

"The Ewoks Project - Animated TV Series" DVD set (now on myspleen) (Released)
Time

Hi there!

 

Haven't been around here since a long time ago, but in a mood of nostalgia, and just after having re-watched the Ewok Adventures DVD, what a great surprise to see this preservation project, which looks really really good.

 

That said — sorry in advance for the blasphemy of asking this in a preservation project but — is there any way to have all those episodes on a more hard drive friendly format, like mp4 maybe?

To be honest, I've lost the habit of burning DVDs for videos, and most of all, the complete series total weight is really huge... That, and my current ISP upload rate limitations policy will kill my MySpleen account ratio in no time...

Aargh... it's Windows-only...
I've tried some plug-ins for Firefox and Safari, which work for sites likes Youtube, but don't work for sw.com.

Anybody has a solution for Mac?

In fact, all the videos present in the flash interface, like the Clone Wars trailer, are not downloadable. I mean, in theory... It would be great if you can find a way.

What I don't like in this new flash-only website (or "interactive animation" ) is the fact that the videos are no more downloadable...
I have a Firefox plug-in that allow me to download many types of videos, including the flv files from Youtube, but it doesn't work for sw.com...

So, I have two questions for the "experts":
- What system is used here for video? Is it a "real" streaming?
- Is there any way to download those videos?

Thanks

The Merits of the Prequel Trilogy and the "Saga"
Time
All those details discussed here (midichlorians, jumps...) really confirm what I was thinking. A number of (O)OT fans don't want to see NEW things to appear in their favourite universe...

And it's why GL has never got a tiny chance to satisfy all SW fans, simply cause a number of them want to see "new" adventures, but without "new" in-universe details. And in the other hand, those same fans hate GL when he re-use an element from the OT. Take his place for a minute. What the hell could YOU make to satisfy all SW fans? Mission: impossible...

I really don't understand why an element that didn't appear in the OT shouldn't appear in the PT (or any "new" story). Please stop taking the OT as a Holly Bible... That was just my point of view.

ROTS in the IMDb top 250!
Time
Anyway, imdb top list isn't really fair just because the majority of users are americans... I don't have anything against americans, but just look that list: many of these movies are blockbusters. Even if many are "good" blockbusters, they're still "hollywood-style" spectacular movies...
Even if I love Star Wars or LOTR, there are so many more interesting movies in the history of cinema... too bad...

Cut scenes
Time
Yes, but on the other hand, OT deleted scenes are important part of the myth. For what we will be seeking, the day we would have seen those treasures? In fact, I desperately want to see those scenes (even if I already have seen some, the most famous), but I don't want to break the myth... Difficult thoughs...

so how's work coming with that Bounty Hunter disc Kaal-Jhyy? I've been excited for that one since I first heard you and Galactacus


Well, because of personal troubles, I've not been able to work on it... I still don't know when I'll have time for it, but I hope it will be soon.
All I can say for now: we have pretty much all the material we need: the cutscenes in great quality, and a lot of bonus material (a long long work of research for us, especially for Galactus ). The only thing that remains to be done: the DVD. And it's not the easiest part, cause I'd like it to be as good (and maybe better) than the previous DVD.
I'll give some news when I'll be ready to work on it.
