Well, besides the incident with Alderaan, we never see the "oppression" of the Empire. We just know they're bad because of blowing up a planet but besides fighting the Rebellion (and eliminating the Jedi in the PT), what is actually shown about how the Empire actually treats the populace? Everyone cheers at the end of the saga and that shows that the galaxy thinks its a good thing that the Emperor is finished. Everyone runs around screaming when they hear that the Empire has taken control of Cloud City, so that shows that they are very very afraid of the implications of an Imperial occupation. It reminds me of how afraid the denizens of Mos Eisley were when the few troops were moving down the alleyways. So, I'm all for blowing up a few fleeing ships. Shows that they don't F around. Anything to make the Empire more menacing is okay in my book. When I think of how the PT and the Clone Wars makes the stormtroopers so badass, its disappointing to see how inept they become in the OT. I'd like to feel a little afraid for our main heroes and others like we do aboard the Tantive IV. When they blew through that door and started mowing the Alderaanian guard to shreds, you could feel that these folks were about to get slaughtered. But at Hoth, you feel the menace from the walkers but when the snowtroopers come in they get clobbered by one little gun from the Falcon (that seems to be on automatic).

So, my two cents is, the more menace felt from the Empire, the better. But, if people are so against it, at least have a few cloud cars pulled over by a TIE fighter and show him writing the pilot a speeding ticket.

 

I wrote the above a few weeks ago and now I found a picture that totally captures that feel (found it while looking for Cloud City mattes).  Some image like this would totally ROCK in the context above.

This is the only shot of the shield generator model I could find.  It's from Star Wars Chronicles.  I sent you a PM Ady with a link to a 300dpi TIFF version.

 

Why are the sections of the shield generator at the top right of the page so fat? That's not how the generator looks in the movie.

A little OT:

With all the talk of Magnoliafan's Balance of the Force, Clone War, and Phantom Re-Edit 1.2, I went searching my collection for these edits as I thought I surely had them.  Apparently, I don't.  They also appear to be gone from the newsgroups as well as torrents.  They still pull up on a seach at myspleen but with no seeders.  If anyone would be willing to help me get  copies of these three edits, please pm me.  However, if they are painfully outdated and not worth my time watching them, I'd love a heads up, too! :)

Back to the topic at hand:

I'm amazed that you've caught up to where you left off pre-quad.  I tip my hat to you, sir.  Would you be willing to share the ideas you've got cooking for the generator?

I have Magnoliafan's Eps. 1 & 2 - they are definitely available as torrents (avi), though there are few seeders. Still it only took a day or so for me to get them. I'm currently going for ADigitalMan's version, which has 1 active seeder :( What are the upload limitations of rapidshare and the like without an account?

Adywan,

 

In regards to your decision to assemble TESB:R in HD 720p, Are you still planning to release this as a standard DVD as well?

     

I ask for two reasons -

 

1 Distribution

 

Given that ANH:R clocked in around the 7GB mark and a lot of people are still only getting their hands on it now, Just how are people going to get a much larger video out and about?

 

2 Compatibility

 

By this point everyone has a dvd player, But how many people really have the setup for High Definition content? Especially in a loungeroom setup.

 

As a sidenote, Just how noticeable is the quality between 576p and 720p on a movie as badly treated as the star wars films have been? This is a serious question, I'm not trying to ba a smartass.

 

I have a great interest in HD, I'm just wondering if it is all worth it. I'm hoping it's certainly not akin to a white elephant. If my comments seem out of place, by all means put me on the right track [Adywan].

Thanks with all the help in finding the pics guys. Hopefully some great shots of the original models will surface somewhere. If not then i may have a solution. I have had a thought (thanks to darth solo for sending me a pic that inspired me). If i can't get any suitable pics of the generator or the bespin buildings then i could probably build my own models to use. This way i will have as many angles to work with as possible. It will slow work on ESB:R down a bit while i build them, but it could be a great alternative which would allow me a lot of freedom.

I'm also back to where i was before i installed the quad core. All the shots are now in 720p, so back to work on the rest of it now.

 

God, i won something, then inspired someone, all in the same day!

I was starting my revised cover set yesterday, then i hit a mental block. Now im inspired to work at them again. Win win situation.

Good luck if you attempt the build (i searched a load of model builers sites last night after seeing your request, but no one has done a proper model of the generator unfortunatly). It did cross my mind about rendering a CGI model but it would be going down the SE approach to re-working the films.

Its not as simple as searching through google images with different phrases to find what Adys looking for.

Linky to the image i sent Ady http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/6470/dsc03126ry2.jpg -its poor, i know.

Reference some linkys to model builder sites i looked through:

http://www.halstensen.com/

http://www.phoxim.de/modellbau_science_fiction.html

http://www.starshipmodeler.com/gallery/gallery.cfm

http://www.amazingstarships.com/

http://www.ketzer.com/

http://www.starwarsmodels.com/

and obviously:

http://www.aptirrelevance.com/sw-archive/searchresults.php?setname=ot%20ships%20and%20vehicles&set=01126-01125-01124-01123-01122-01121-01120-01119-01118-01117-01116-01115-01114-01112-01111-01110-01109-01108-01107-01106-01105-01104-01103-01102-01101-01100-01096-01049-01048-01047-00943-00942-00940-00937-00936-00935 -wow, thats a loooonng link.

I could ask on some model builder forums if this has been done (to a better standard than the picture i posted above), but it seems model builders prefer to build ships or prop replicas.

Also this may have some tips for perhaps building replicas http://www.ffurg.com/

Jonny Ringo, i imagine the HD source will be easy enough to down convert to DVD9 with a slight drop in quality to cater for the masses when it comes to distribution. Or as Adywan has done split the HD source between two DVD9s to retain the quality.

a 720P mkv file should weigh in at around 4.4GB.

I have a pc hooked up to my HDTV which makes it easy to watch anything.

From what I've heard from peeps that saw the high def version on Sky it was a big improvement on the dvd release.

I'd go with the image satanika posted though. Crazy shit right there!

 

EDIT: urm, the last two images they are in 1080 resolution, just Imageshack keeps choosing to re-size the images for some strange reason and wont let me delete pictures i dont need anymore(its more tempramental than trying to use windows). Id have to e-mail them to you if you can use 'em 'et all sir.

I don't think Ady was ever going to release this as HD-only - I'm sure we'll get a fantastic DVD-9 plus an HD release.

That looks like a concept model or an early stage of construction that would get adjusted later on into the final version.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

I know it seems like blasphemy to mention it here, but this weekend's episode of Star Trek: The Original Series: Remastered is "The Cloud Minders", where the Enterprise visits a city in the clouds.  TrekMovie.com posted a preview image that looks very familiar.

http://img.trekmovie.com/images/Ep74_stratos2.jpg

There is so much attention to detail in this, as each building perfectly matches the original painting:

That is so cool, 005! I just wish I knew when it was on. They don't mark it as Star Trek Remastered on my channel guide. I've only seen the new effects once while casually browsing.

 

Yeah, my DVR labels it as a repeat of Star Trek.  It's usually on late Saturday nights and is the first thing preempted when anything happens.  It's usually syndicated to CW's or MyNetworkTV's depending on where you live.  In the US, now that I think about it.  Not sure of foreign showings.

This is interesting footage I hadn't seen before of the Wampa trying to drag Luke away. Must have been dropped because the Wampa couldn't take the cold.

I think it was on Fox Rochester the time I saw it. I'll start keeping an eye out.

Oh, and Jor Tallen, that Wampa footage is most likely on "Building Empire."

Was that Leia???  The one coming down the ramp with R2 and the one sitting next to Bail Organa.  If so, that is the only reason I'd want to play this ridiculous game.  However, I can always watch the cut scenes later on Youtube.  Anybody else notice how plain awful Vader sounds?  Geez, I've heard much better in other games.  But seriously, WAS that Leia???

Vader is voiced by the guy who plays "Chad Vader" in the popular online parody series.  He's not the best, but I've heard much much worse.  As for that being Leia, it very well could be.  If Vader finds his apprentice as a baby in the first level and he's that old in the rest of the game, then Leia would also be pretty old...

But enough about that.

I think the best soundalike I've heard for Vader was on the old French versions. They did a really good job casting whoever that was. I dunno if it's the same guy on the home releases or what, but anyway, back before I had a VCR and all that jazz, I'd just watch it anytime, anyway. So when it came on the French channel, I'd watch it there.

One funny thing is that in A New Hope, they called Chewbacca "Chico" when calling him by his nickname. He was "Chewie" in subsequent versions.

What the hell is Star Trek??

 

I'll pretend I didn't read that. Sure, Star Wars and Trek may have an unofficial (and overstated) rivalry, but personally I am a trekkie as well, and Trek is a monumental franchise in science fiction history. Even if you don't like it, it is still important- it came before Star Wars, and was the first serious science fiction show on television. Here's a wikipedia link.

 

And if you were joking, I stand as a Trekkie fool. :P

But this is all extremely off-topic.
