Worked more on my cover concept. What would be the features on this disc?

Also. How do I make the images appear on this page instead of just a link?

This may of help mate (from the About, Help, General Assistance sections of this site, and the various Index threads too:-

‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries

and scroll down to ‘How to post an image on the OriginalTrilogy•com…’ part.
 

To post an image from imgur.com… look for the ‘Direct Link’ code from the right side of the imgur screen, and copy and paste it onto here.

For your image it should be https://imgur.com/VW8lYFG.png
 

When you add the !{}(https://imgur.com/VW8lYFG.png) code… and then replace the {} with the [ and a ] - then the image will appear 😃
 

Quality cover by the way, Oswarez 👍

My heart goes out to all Muslims in the face of this awful fascist attack.

Spot on, snooker. And paja too.

‘We had a lot of fun talking about the rotating dish atop the Tantive IV. Look carefully at it in the original Star Wars (1977)–in shot 1, it’s not visible. In shot 2, it’s rotating counter clockwise. In shot 3, it’s rotating clockwise! For Rogue One, we animated the dish counterclockwise.’
 

To the surprise of no-one… 😉

I imagine we’ll be getting a title for Episode IX during this - and maybe some sort of teaser trailer.

‘More than 1,200 species globally face threats to their survival in more than 90% of their habitat and “will almost certainly face extinction” without conservation intervention, according to new research.’
 

I’ll try and find some good news or uplifting articles for in here - as the last few posts in here make for bloody depressing reading.
 

Hi and welcome Dr. Vader,

Around 6/7 threads below this one in the Star Wars Preservation section… there are a number of threads on Harmy’s Despecialized Editions - which’ll hopefully help you find the info you are looking for.

There is also an Index thread pinned at the top of this section of the site - with a few links to various threads on the Despecialized Editions.

The Help section, linked at the top of the site, may also be of interest - as well as the General Assistance section of the site.
 

Good luck with it.
 

Tim Berners-Lee: ‘Stop web’s downward plunge to dysfunctional future’:-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47524474

‘Global action is required to tackle the web’s “downward plunge to a dysfunctional future”, its inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee has told the BBC.’
 

^ an intriguing article (with video - and a few useful links contained within) on how data breaches, hacking and misinformation could be tackled - along with three specific areas of ‘dysfunction’ that he said were harming the web today:-

• malicious activity such as hacking and harassment
• problematic system design such as business models that reward clickbait
• unintended consequences - such as aggressive or polarised discussions

and also Tim Berners-Lee on 30 years of the web: ‘If we dream a little, we can get the web we want’:-

Nicely done, Neverar - to me that was seamless.

Not sure if we’ve had a specific thread on Lucas’ inconsistent statements before.

There are a few older threads re various interviews and speeches by George Lucas in the ‘Archival / Historical discussions’ section of the Original Trilogy Discussion Index - and the ‘George Lucas / Lucasfilm’ section of the Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases Index which highlight some of contradictions or discrepancies from the man himself. Though unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be one thread that goes through them all - or none that I can find so far…

Hopefully someone here will remember one (or know of one elsewhere) 😃
 

^ Nice find.

Reported it to etsy - be interesting to see how etsy deals with that - and how quickly…
 

Seller seems conflicted… says they are ‘The Unruined / Despecialized Star Wars Trilogy’ - then uses ‘New Hope’ on the back of his ‘artwork’ blu ray cover.
 

There is a logo in here mate - https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/TN1-logo/id/56387

If it no longer works it may be worth PM’ing Williarob to see if he still has it - or can send you it on etc.
 

A 35mm boxset? Nice one - all the best with it - please post some images of it when you’re done 😃
 

Your 2nd thread in 3 days asking for the same Predator Edit - without actually posting in lorang’s Predator thread itself…

Hopefully someone may take your post above in the ‘good’ humour it was no doubt intended - or some may think you’re just insulting people on here - which I’m sure isn’t the case…?
 

Good luck acquiring the Edit. If you have no luck please don’t make any further new threads on it.

Mos Eisley Spaceport … Recreated in Unreal Engine 4

Superb stuff, that - and thanks for sharing 😃

Fair play to the people behind it - the look like they’ve really nailed that classic Star Wars vibe and feel.
 

^ I hope the team behind Birth Of A Monster do more Star Wars fan films - they seem quite adept at immersing the viewer into that classic Star Wars vibe / feel.

Bothan Spies - every Bothan is played by Sean Bean (in a Kind Hearts And Coronets stylee).

(He isn’t in the film)

May be worth giving adywan’s Revisited Edits a watch - for more of an alternative view into a ‘Special Edition’ (whilst still keeping the vibe, pacing and tone) of the Original Trilogy.

There are a few 3-in-1 Prequel Edits listed in the An Index Thread for Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects thread - along with some ‘Recommend me an Edit’ / ‘Best Edit?’ type threads too.
 

Just seen George RR Martin’s Nightflyers got canned after just the one season - disappointing that - thought it had a lot of potential, and after a slow start, would have made for a quality series given enough time. Doh!
