Luke looks like he totally has no idea where he is or what's going on around him in that picture :)

I've been hoping that someone might put up a torrent for the Purist Edition, but it's been a week and that hasn't happened.

So I'd like to get a PIF chain started for this. Is anyone who has the Purist edition willing to mail me a copy? If so, please PM me. Once I get it, I'll mail it out to the next three people.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Is anyone else who's subscribed to this thread receiving only intermittent notifications? I get maybe one email for every five or six posts, at best, in the past few weeks. Anyone else?

I know there's a more appropriate forum for this question, I just wanted to see if it's just me before I go to the mods with it.

I think what might be happening is that you get one notification only until you visit the thread. After that you are notified of the next post, and then no more notifications until you visit the thread again. Which I guess is okay.

I thought that also. I can see where they would be coming from, but I never know what to expect; whether I missed one person asking when the DVD-9 will come out or two pages of arguments about people's arms on floors.

I can only Imagine what that picture will be used for!

Adywan - Please take as long as it takes with the DVD-9 release, as it is worth waiting for to get just right.

I was blown away by your XVID when I got it, and am finally getting the DVD-5 later today, and look forward to it's more finished, and higher quality presentation, along with it's 'extras'. I'm looking forward to getting your 'PURIST' edition too!

BMadden - That 'StarWarsArchives' link looks very interesting, thanks for that.

I've found A TON of cool photos in the forums on that website. It's definitely a great resource.

With regards to a torrent of the "purist" edition I would gladly help seed if someone could get it started.

That's exactly what's happening. It used to send a notification for every reply, but then some people requested that it only send one notification until you view the thread.

I'll add a user setting so that you can choose how you want to be notified.

Oh, that's great Jay. Once I figured out what it was doing I decided it wasn't a big enough deal to bother reporting. (I figure you mods have lives.) But if you're going to add it as a preference, that's perfect. Thank you very much!!!

I'm playing with the pictures of changes, courtesy of Adywan and doubleofive, and setting them to music via PhotoDVD. I originally set it to Enya's best-of album [title escapes me], mainly because it was on my hard drive and I hadn't listened to it in years. Since my wife and friends think it's all sorts of heretical from almost every viewpoint, I may leave the soundtrack as it is.

The question occurs, though, of what TV format is most useful: 16x9 or 4x3. The comparison pictures are almost 4x3, making that natural, and I disabled all animation to keep the pictures as much in view as possible (loss only to overscan).

Would it be preferable to set the format to widescreen and then re-enable the horizontal animation? The picture would slowly drift from side to side for its five seconds' viewing instead of remaining stationary and filling almost all of the 4x3 screen.

(Having only a 4x3 TV, it's an academic question to me but I am curious about others' thoughts.)

A good question, worthy of discussion. I'm torn. Having an 16:9 TV, I tend to lean towards the widescreen, but the pictures would be too small scaled down from the 16:9 image on a 4:3 screen.

Since I learned from some other movie that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, you should go with 4:3, no animation. Or heck, what is preventing you from making both? You must do what you feel is right, of course.

As for Enya... An interesting choice, to say the least.

doubleofive - Is there any chance of putting a shot of the initial Adywan Ponda Baba 'hoof' arm from the XVID up for me here? Seeing those shots above sure makes me wish we had a glimpse of it in the altered shot AS WELL... Thanks.

p.s. - Your finished 'Visual Comparisons' turned out great!

I really only came up with the concept and first draft, Adywan did all the final screenshotting. I'm not sure if I can screenshot xvid's, but I definitely can't right now because I'm at work. If Ady is too busy to show the xvid changes, I can do that tonight maybe.

Someday I'd like to see all the changes to some scenes from GOUT to 97 to 2004 to Revisited. I don't have GOUT or my 97 VHS's, so I wouldn't be able to do it. Just the major changes, you know?

Thanks. And Adywan did indeed do some good work with the 'Visual Comparisons' shots.

By the way, I hope you type in that 'YouTube' video link I just put up on the 'General Star Wars Discussion' topic, to check out that real-life 'Imperial Walker' wannabe! It's scary...

I added/enhanced two of the Visual Comparison shots. I added another hand/hoof shot and the disappearing, reappearing gun trick in the Death Star Control Room.

I believe that all changes other than that between the xvid, DVD-5, and DVD-9 are just improvements or fixes missed the first time around. Unless I missed something else, which is likely.

How many versions of this film are there again? I have the original release (beta). I have a second, tweaked release. And now I hear about the "Purist Version" and a DVD9. Can someone explain to me what the purist version is? I'm a little confused by all the different versions.

Thanks

The xvid is the rough draft, the DVD-5 is the second draft, and the DVD-9 is the final draft. However, the Purist Version is a side project, with some of Adywan's changes undone (no added music, no extended Death Star reveal, no extended TIE reveal, and Obi-Wan's Hut reverted back to its original order). Like a Fan Edit Edit. I've not watched the Purist Version myself, as I am pleased with all the changes made. In fact, these are pretty much the exact changes I wanted to see in the 2004 DVDs.

I believe it's spelled "cauterized" if it's not too late to change it. (Actually it's spelled that way even if it is too late to change it!) ;-)

Ady sent me all the original comparisons already written over. I noticed the typo last night, but I can't do anything to fix it. :-\
