I just finished going through Adywan's ESB stuff. Very interesting. I thought I'd share some of the more interesting bits with you guys:

oh my....

Based on those screens.

Yeah.

For the good of the Trilogy, this project must die...

Okay. I've had tons of April Fool's jokes played on me over the years. My car was "stolen", My girlfriend "slept" with my best friend, I was "fired" from my job. My love and anticipation of the Empire Revisited has gotten me looking forward to Star Wars in a way I haven't had since 1996 thru 1999. This is really the worst joke played on me yet. I literally felt my heart sink into my stomach. I only wish I had the skills with editing and effects that Ady has because I, like so many on here, have always wanted to "fix" certain things in Star Wars. Not to be a graffiti artist on someone else's work but to perfect the neglected aspects of the films. When I read that post, I had forgotten totally what day it was and it really was an awful feeling. I've never posted because like someone else said earlier, I'm like a professional lurker on here. I've been reading these boards for forever and this is my first post.

Ady, first of all, thanks from the bottom of this closet geek's heart for what you do. I don't know if you realize how important you've become to Star Wars fandom. To me, you truly "get" Star Wars in a way that us old timers (I'm 32) appreciate. I'd pay you to keep going if that's what it truly took. I have a singular love for the OT because of the special place it holds in my otherwise craptacular childhood. I "daydream edit" these movies all the time and have for years,and when I saw your finished product it was so close to what I wanted that the daydreams have stopped almost completely for ANH and has moved into high gear for Empire.

Secondly, let me tell you that today, and only today, you are one evil darkside SOB for this joke. Do you realize that not all of us have Vader's life preservation suit on and might actually have a stroke when we read that you've decided to cancel???? I found a brick in my shorts when I read that!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr baby.... grrrrrrrrrr

My son Lucas (yes I named him Lucas) and I love your work and love the fact the we have something to look forward to again. Thanks again, and I guess I am the one ol' Obi-wan was referring to, "Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows it?" Or did he say ....follows HIM? That never made sense to say IT to me. Ah well, I digress.... Happy April Fool's Day.

Adywan you utter bastard...

When you add this kind of prank to my high blood pressure, it is a wonder I don't stroke out! (at least they could bury me with a DVD9 of Star Wars Revisited, but NOOOOOOOOOO... You go all evil before you let it loose on the public!)

But SERIOUSLY thanks for the effort. Any input I can offer, I will!

005 on the other hand... (grrrr)

Kiddin. You had me for a moment there.

I wish I could say that I was in on it the whole time, but I seriously was freaking out yesterday morning. I was serious about the heart attack thing. But since I was already talking to Ady about the IV screenshot comparisons, I figured I'd ask.

I did all of the "Noo!" and "notes" myself. I apologize for what I put you through, but I tried to make each post more questionable than the last, ending with the obvious "Ewoks everywhere!"

I said I couldn't take on the project earlier, and I was serious. Adywan is the only person who can take it upon himself to do something of this magnitude. He is also the one who started the joke, so don't blame it on me, I was the one trying to bring you all back down!

We brought a couple lurkers in, so why don't you stick around guys? Apparently we're not all business around here, unless you're talking about arms being cut off. I suppose we'll get to that later...

EDIT: I've been wanting to make an impression on this board, but now I think I'm infamous... I'm a nice guy, honestly!

Wasn't sure there for a while yesterday, and now extremely happy that all's well. :)

This will be a day long remembered...

Adywan, you rascal you. I did consider it being a prank and I was never entirely convinced. But I must admit the resignation in your tone felt so genuine that I was leaning towards it being true. I think you fooled many of us here.

ImperialFighter, that's good use of a Star Wars quote. It' never wrong to quote Vader ;)

Anyway, let me just say how glad I am that you're gonna keep going. It surely means a lot to everyone else here as well.

Damm, you got me to...

Just another lurker coming out from the shadows to say hello.

But glad to hear you are not stopping ;-)

One of the things that always annoyed me about ESB, is that the instruments in the snowspeeders, don't light up or anything. A small thing I know, but its always bugged me somehow. If you could do anything about it, it would be great.

Other than that, I love what you did with ANH, and from what you have planned for ESB so far, I am looking very much forward to the next Star Wars revisit.

I don't know about everyone else, but I was actually kinda sad to hear that the ewoks in ESB were just a joke... think of all the great places they could have been featured:

- you could have an ewok pop out when Han slices open the tauntaun's stomach

- a couple ewoks could trip up an AT-AT with a vine... wait, there are no vines on Hoth... ok, they down it with a well placed snowball then...

- instead of Vader, Luke confronts a lightsaber-weilding ewok in the cave on Dagobah... although when its face explodes, I guess you'd just see a midget's severed head in there...

- ewoks could be overpopulating Cloud City, like tribbles from the original Star Trek... they could be getting into everything... one could even get frozen around Han's knees in the carbon freezing chamber

- when Luke is hanging off that vane from the bottom of Cloud City at the end, an ewok could be dangling there already... having a smoke maybe. Luke could bum one off him... it'd give him something to do till Lando got there

As you can see, the possibilities are limitless. Please, Ady, reconsider the ewoks!

That is some funny junk.......how about a couple Ewok bounty hunters?

That is the second most cruel joke that's ever been played on me today.

Adywan, you absolute bastard. :D

You know those threads that goes "was the Empire really evil?", that tries to paint the rebellion as bad guys? Those really bugs me.

Anyway, one of their arguments is that in such a widspread galaxy, it is still only humans that aid the Rebellion. Not until ROTJ do we se any alien members at all (besides Chewbacca).

Obviously, the real reason was effects and coustume limitations, but they try to paint the rebellion as rascists. My point is that, with the Rebellion growing in strenght after the massacre of Alderaan, perhaps we should se an alien or two among the rebels?

Unless this is too hard to do, of course, but it would be nice to undermine those kinds of threads further.

Which is why we should add Jar Jar to the Hoth battles.

But seriously, who's to say that the Rebellion we follow is the entire group and not just the human cell? Who runs a rebellion with only one group of people at one base? The leaders/organizers may be human, and that's why we follow that particular group around. When they meet up in RotJ to stage one final offensive is when we see other species, as if all of the separate cells that have been working together remotely are now together.

Not the best put together argument, but there it is.

Well, perhaps I had a more subtle alien in mind than Jar Jar ;)

But that is a good point. I think I've read before somewhere that what we follow in ANH and ESB is but one cell in the Rebellion.

Still, they do talk about "the rebel base" as if it was the only one. The sollustians and mon calamari that we se in ROTJ could have joined up after ESB.

I guess it could go either way :)

It seems that real-life 'Imperial Walkers' are just around the corner if this development is anything to go by! I wouldn't like to be an enemy if they start attaching weapons-fire to these babies. Imagine a horde of these things bounding 'bug-like' towards you, as it does at the end of the video...
