When you see all the Gungans hiding out in Dagobah, the scene with Darth vaders personal masseur, Luke's new line on Dagobah - " get these mutha fuckin snakes of my mutha fuckin X-Wing", Tha Wampa musical number and Lando's new afro you are gonna flip.


Ady, don't forget the can of Colt 45 in Lando's hand in every shot. *LOL*

Ady,

THANK YOU!!! What you have done is amazing!

On a different note, with all the reasearch and pics regarding the flipper/hand topic, has anyone contacted Jambe Davdar to see if he could use this info for his ANH doc? It's a lot a great behind the scenes info.

Thanks again, I am loving this edit.

Totally pissed off today. Turned on my 32"LCD HDTV tonight and it died. A few bloody days before Christmas with no way of getting a new one for a few months thanks to spending all the spare cash on the kids prezzies. This just has to happen to me now of all times.

I guess the gremlins failed to get my computer for along time now so they went for my Tv instead.


Damn! Sorry man! What brand was it?

Okay I’ve applied the following, I selected Windows Media and I got this message.

“This file has an extension that is not recognized by (Windows Media Player), but the player may still be able to play it. Because the extension is unknown by the Player, you should be sure that the file comes from a trustworthy source.

Do you want to the Player to play the file?
Don’t as me again for this extension.
Yes NO”

So what do I do now?

Thanks.



Are you sure that you're opening the "mos clip new2.mpg" file? WMP should play MPG files with no problems at all. If you can't see the file extentions, the file's icon should look like WMP's icon, or the the program that opens your media file.

Adywan, in whatever location you decide to stick Lucas, don't ever tell me where it is. That's something I'd rather have as a forever unknown in my own head.

Don't worry, I'll won't be revealing where the cameos will be.


The role of Darth Vader is now being played by George Lucas? *LOL*

well ideally, with everything that has happened, i'm looking to get 2 hard drives. 1 to replace the faulty one and the second to be used as a removable drive with copies of all the finished footage & important files.


Perhaps getting three drives, with two going into a mirrored RAID as an extra precaution?

JD,

I don't know if you've heard, but a new 'making of' book is about to be published. I read this in a story on CNN's site:

"As the movie celebrates its 30th anniversary, George Lucas will be joined by many of his collaborators at a special screening at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Goldwyn Theater on Monday. Simultaneously, Ballantine Books is publishing J.W. Rinzler's "The Making of Star Wars," which bills itself as "The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film."

More than just a promotional making-of book, Rinzler's account seeks to strip away a lot of the mythology about the movie's creation that has grown up over the years. Rinzler, an executive editor at Lucasfilm, was aided in that quest when he discovered a treasure chest of interviews that Charles Lippincott, Lucasfilm's VP marketing and merchandising in the mid-'70s, conducted with the film's principals between 1975 and 1978. They provided him with a contemporaneous view into the movie's origins, uncolored by its eventual success.

"Everyone's memories are somewhat faulty, and opinions have changed over the years," Rinzler explains. But the discovery of the old interviews allowed him "to do as close to an oral history as I could."

Among the forgotten aspects of the movie's production that he unearthed was a failed attempt to use front projection -- a technique in which the performance is combined with pre-filmed material during shooting -- forcing the production to shift to bluescreen. Rinzler quotes Lucas saying, "The biggest change during filming was from front projection to bluescreen. We had shot the approach to the Death Star, but once we got the results, we realized it wasn't going to work.""
