I just put them there as a joke. Hayden's profile says he lives in London and Lucas and McCallum, they're probably fans just trying to look legit. Though I wouldn't put it past McCallum to have a MySpace. Kevin Smith's page is actually him, that's confirmed. The only other one who "may" be the real deal is Frankie Muniz. He contacted me and said he was a Star Wars fan and saw the trailer and loved it. His page looks..."possibly" convincing. You decide for yourself on that one.
There's actually, believe it or not, a lot of real celebrities who have MySpace pages. I've heard that the major record labels won't even listen to a demo unless you have a fan base built up on MySpace. And studios are using MySpace as a promotional tool now for films and TV series, so... I think as the money rolls in you'll see more and more on there.
Regarding the Emperor in ESB:
As much as I HATE how he looks in this scene, we've decided to go with it because it's Ian McDiarmid and it HAS to be Ian McDiarmid, period.
Now, we've tried a million different things to make him look different. We've tried darkening, shadowing, and fading. We've tried getting rid of the hood completely and only having his face. We've tried taking a closeup scene from ROTJ and creating a hologram out of that and placing it in Vader's holo-chamber. That didn't work. We tried changing the scene so he's talking to the Emperor on the viewscreen that he chokes Ozzel on, with just Palps' eyes showing. It was creepy, but it didn't totally work.
So, ultimately, nothing has worked to our satisfaction. So, for the trailer I just used the original. That may or may not change. I would LOVE to improve this some way, but man... This one was a doozie. It still amazes me how a stupid black hood can ruin the entire scene.
Johnny Ringo, I'll PM you about that audio question.
And CC, Nanner, Laserschwert, Adywan and Klingon_Jedi, and everybody else, thanks again for your comments!
