Someone uploaded the "Bring My shuttle" to you tube and it's now been taken down. I looked for it the other day
How wrong is that and it was a poor quality VHS Transfer too
I nearly can't argue against this and your point is steadfast and I don't want any changes to crawls for revisited unless Ady decides to make them but...
First film = Star Wars 1979 then became episode 4
Ok no problem 4, 5 and 6 that is the trilogy of the OT.
If people in 100 years time decide that they want to watch star wars and start at episode 1 they won't / might not make it to episode IV so really it's not as simple as Godfather part I,II and III and if anything it is confusing.
But I do agree with you too.:P
I have attempted an edit of ROTJ and if I were to try again I would do it differently but not by all that much.
Everyone complains about Ewoks but they are not that bad if you cut them down a bit.. But you have to embrace what is good about them and remove the silly and the bad.
you can't remove them all together it's not feasible.
I cannot tell you how I would do Jedi because you know why it is very very complicated. There is a lot of scene re-arrangement possible with the first and final third of ROTJ and something I would stick to would be limiting the amount of flitting between Throne Room / Forest Moon / Space Battle.
Far too convoluted and jumbled although I even admit that I overlooked scene arrangement issues and could have done it better.
Luke would go Back to visit his old home at the Lars homestead and remember his foster parents whilst a sandstorm rolls over the twin suns.
Yoda would give Luke the Green Crystal for his newly constructed Light sabre.
Bobba Fett would be Be headed by Luke
that is some but not all....

The BBC make Doctor Who with license payers money and they give out convention exclusives.
There is a fair amount of angst over that on the Doctor Who board I'm on.
I kind of think the destroying a planet idea is a paradox...On further thought.
Although that 100% recycles the original film that is also bad I think.
I particularly liked Jerjerrod deleted scenes... He is just such a slime
Shame about the quality of the footage.
It is a fairly reasonable impending Doom that tips the Balance of the space Battle in the Empires favor.
But it does not feel like the ticking time bomb and it's not played off against the attack run.
Perhaps if the Death star kept Shooting down a few more capital ships whilst they were trying to destroy it that would go some way to fixing the lack of tension of what was causing them to potentially lose the battle.
In this case the Executor should probably fall away and break apart not hitting the death star
I think there is a scope for private fundraising events.
There are a number of Small cinema Hotels in London which you can Hire as a private Event Space. I am quite sure this would be entirely feasible. And they are also independent.
If the model work was also exhibited along side it That would Be Art exhibition / Film project then that could create funds from showing the work.
I guess you would have to still download the original film for the payment to the cinema Hard drive but show the alternative cut.
But there is obviously a cost to Hiring the Space and the facilities and would only work in Major cities. Dropping a tentative date run of a showing to see how many people show interest would give an idea of if it would work?
I doubt there would be any comeback on anything like this at all.
Take Nightbreed the Cabal Cut as an example... They showed this cut in order to raise funds for a full directors cut Blu-ray release of the film and get the missing material cleaned and released. This was by a group called seraphim films.
They achieved their goal and it is coming. and was also announced at comic-con
I am sure there are enough people here with some gusto and sense to know how to go about doing this. OriginalTrilogy.com has a similar sort of message any way enough dreaming. But perhaps if any money made went to releasing the OT theatrical releases on BLU Ray then you have a worthy cause also and keep the edit fund raising separate whilst at the same time gaining the exposure needed to get the donation funds ti do the work.
@brimforge Blackmesasource.com/test chamber/ Revamp sound mod
I don't know what you could do for Deathstar going to hyperspace I mean would it go into a fast spin or something?
It's actually really hard to visualize this...
Looking good anyway keep up the good work.
I wondered if the proceeds from the Enhanced edition Books now went to Disney?
Catch my drift...
8 Years and Counting...Lol
I spent 4 weeks Solid about 8 hours a day sometimes more doing a sound Mod for it this summer, you can find my work on it there at the forum...about 200MB and a totally rebalanced and RE-EQ'd soundtrack and new sound effects.
I dig creative projects, but you have to appreciate things take time and you also need to have the time at hand. There is no way I could do this at the moment.
It's Better to give back to people that give to you that is how it works best.
Since watching the Editroid Laser Disc I noticed an Audio Line that I was pining after...
"Master Yoda"
Ok we are in the throne Room on the Death Star and Vader says to Luke
"Obi-wan has taught you well"
Hang on a minute Vader Killed him a while ago he also fought Luke in Empire Strikes Back knowing that he could have Beaten him.
So Luke says "I will not fight you father"
Now I don't disagree with that response but I think it would be a better to Hear "Master Yoda" as a response to Vader at this moment. It is a Huge shocking Revelation that would Make Vader / Ankakin's Blood boil and serve as a correction. Note I called him Anakin because It Brings him Back to people he once knew.
Vader does also get annoyed so It works as he says "you are unwise to lower your defenses" Bam slams in with a Light Sabre.
Job Done
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
A NEW EPISODE

I'd be happy to do the repitching for the things if that'd help. I am an experienced audio engineer, and something like that is a piece of cake to me. Also, it doesn't really need to be done to every line. A lot of ESB is OK. ROTJ is the one that is most out of line
This fan edit in particular is a very meticulous craft.
A lot has to go into it... These things take time so be patient.
The project has no doubt benefitted from it's long development cycle that means it benefits your enjoyment when it is finally released.
Stop thinking like wham bam like everyday tasks work or chores and this edit.
It is what makes it special that it is not like that.
Most films today suffer because of people breathing down film makers necks. Let's not do this to people who are devoting as much time as they can to something for all our enjoyment
Although I read you deleted the project files.
I think it would be great if you could update these edits with some of the content from the making of ebooks,
And especially the 1980 BBC Documentary Star Wars Music by John Williams.
Just a thought....
Surely you could just edit in new material?
Ok, so I think this is really interesting....
But let me get this straight the version of Lapti Nek in the movie is nowhere to be found....
Is there any chance that Annie has it? Or might know where to look?
There is also only snippets laced together of
Galactic Dance Blast...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SjPqG8hSo
It is not a proper track, so I wonder if there are copies of the recording sessions. That would be an amazing find.
There seems like there is a lot more to this...
Ironic how Lapti nek means "work it out"
I don't buy the excuse that it was lost.. That is like saying whoops we lost part of John Williams recording with London symphony orchestra master so we will have to put different music in there now.
I wonder if John Willliams or Ben Burt actually have it? Even if not a "Master"
I recently went hunting for some behind the scenes footage for Empire Strikes Back and I came across 2 documentaries that were British and were both on the lead up to the films Release I felt they were quite nice documentaries in their own right but they veered off away from the Empire Strikes Back and talked about other subjects or films.
So I decided to Omit the content about other films and splice both the documentaries together.
The footage was used from.
1. The Risk Business - The Movie (focusing on the Empire Strikes Back and financial risk)
2. Star Wars Music By John Williams (focusing on John Williams whole Career as well as The upcoming release of the Empire Strikes Back)
3. Vivaldi Trailer
Oh and the Carrie Fisher interview that just recently surfaced.
The Footage quality is far from great but It’s a better more focused watch than seeing both documentaries separately. I am aware that there is audio synch issue in the first half but my conversion software only allows me 3 minutes at a time so if someone does want to re-synch audio on the first part be my guest but I think it is not that bad because of quality of footage anyway.
I will post the link here and you should be able to watch and both download from it from media fire.
Hope you enjoy it and find it interesting as I have done.

Slightly better quality version at a later point But the Kebab shop is calling my taste buds at the moment.
Yep I had it too :)
I used to have the Taun Taun with the slit in it's stomach so you could put the action figure in it :)

The episode numbers were on the OT. They began doing it when Star Wars was re-released right before The Empire Strikes Back came out. I was there, I still remember all the WTFs rumbling throughout the theater when Episode 4 came up.
The "Episode IV" title wasn't added until the 1981 re-release, a year after Empire was released.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That needs sorting out on the internet as everything seems to claim it was altered prior to Empire Strikes Back or at least nobody says it like you just did. It's never clarified as alteration after an episodic mention in ESB
Thanks Ady I found this earlier and I kind of had my answer on this one already...
I have not seen the video but my gut feeling tells me the original unused crawl looked bad...
Simply because they panned out a camera manually and then tilted it so I am wondering about any wobble... But It's a progression from Flash Gordon :)
BTW I mean modded snow cat in making of Book not the MTV-7
Been a bit of an explosion of loads of unseen stuff recently
Last video I could find if any sort of compilation of doc footage is planned is a 6 part "Star Wars Music by John Williams"
In the first part we are treated to a view of Hoth Soldiers in the trenches and there is a Hoth Rebel driving a modded Snow Cat Tank.
How come that never made it in the movie I'll never know but anyway link below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGsbKZnaT8E
modded snow cat at 1:08 and it's a good watch too.
wether this is in the making of book I don't know but it's the first time I have seen this
I guess they were meant to be a fair match for these MTV-7 which also never made it in the film
Anyway my mind just boggles on this at the moment Happy Halloween all
You made a grammatical error in your post.
Perhaps you should call your edit
"Revenge of the Frink-a-dink Panther"
I am gussing it's this one? That was originally folded back before they changed it.
Also after digging about the addition of Episode IV "A New Hope" in the crawl Screws up the planet reveal of tatooine music cue.
It's fixed in ANH:R though
Thanks for sharing all the info on these releases... It's been a really interesting read...
I might get this digital copy as I have never owned any book by Rinzler apart from the sounds of Star Wars Book
Good choice of name for the edit.
I chose that one too :)
Although the picture quality is only a crumby rough work print of ideas, you have chosen wisely
