Lots more on this.
Sorry I haven't kept you guys up to date. We were going to do monthly video updates on this, but decided we'd be working more on the updates than we did on the project itself.
We've been working steadily though, trying different things to see what fits where, and deciding how to tell the story in the best way possible. We've also concluded that completing the first film first (instead of the third) is important. So, we've put Jedi away for a bit and we're now focusing entirely on ANH/TPM/AOTC, otherwise known as STAR WARS.
I've recently had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Matthew Bortolin, the author of "The Dharma of Star Wars". If you haven't read his book yet, you need to. It's very insightful about some of the mysteries of the Star Wars narrative. He's a great guy who is incredibly knowledgeable about mythology and Star Wars, and he has graciously agreed to do a commentary for our DVD. So, that's very cool news!
For those of you who enjoyed the first two trailers I made, and are wondering where the trailer for Star Wars is... It was about 95% complete when the file was corrupted and I couldn't retrieve it. To date, I haven't taken time away from the project to go back and redo the whole trailer again, but don't worry, there will be one eventually... Just be patient.
I don't want to use this thread to go into specifics about every decision we're making during the editing process. I've tried that before and it's proven to be nothing more than confounding, because we end up discussing it into oblivion until every detail is second-guessed.
So, there's a lot you won't know until the DVD is in your player, but I can tell you that we're aiming for a May 2007 release for the first installment.
Thank you, kaine23, and the rest of you for your interest. If you have any questions, put 'em in the thread, and if you haven't already, check out www.myspace.com/starwarsreborn
