OMG is this thread serious?
AxiaEuxine said:I am sure I don't speak for just myself when I say I enjoy the EU, enjoy it immensely. Adywan has revealed that he intends to destroy the entire EU with his plans for ROTJ:R. I for one love your work Adywan and I respect that you dont want to ADD anything from the EU into your Revisted trilogy but pleeeeease dont make the entire EU irrelevant by killing off Lando, or any other major character.
Im begging here Adywan. Begging I tell ya.
i have to thank you for proving my reasons why i have stated so many times why the EU will have nothing to do with my Revisited edits. It stifles any form of creativity when creating a fan edit. Episodes 1 -6 is all that count in these edits and i personally don't give a rats ass if something i do ruins the EU. For gods sake you really need to learn what a fan edit actually is. the clue is in the title. Is isn't something that is supposed to be canon. It is an editor bringing HIS (or her) vision of a certain movie to life. They are what path they believe a movie should take. To hell with the EU. I have stayed away from most the EU and now i know why. I stated in my ESB:R thread that i won't be budging on my decision to kill off Lando in ROTJ:R and that the only way i won't go through with it is if i can't accomplish what i want convincingly, yet you decide to start a thread to try and get the support to make me change my mind. IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN SO PLEASE GIVE IT A REST. There are plenty of Star Wars edits out there and if you don't like something i do then why not do your own?
AxiaEuxine said:It does and I will but I know nothing of film editing and have no interest in learning. I have enough time-sucking hobbies.
Well i knew almost nothing about editing when i started ANH:R but i was committed enough to bother to learn. But as you said you can't be bothered to learn so please don't be offended when i just ignore your begging about ruining the damn EU if you can't be bothered to do something about it yourself.
Its not as if the Revisited edits are now to replace the originals. they are still out there and available and your precious EU follows them. but don't expect mine to worry about anything that happens in the EU because it won't. I really don't know how many more times and how much more clearly i can explain this. If you don't get it after all this then i just give up.
EyeShotFirst said:having lando die at the end of return of the jedi escaping the death star explosion sounds like a RIP OFF of shadows of the empire on easy mode where Dash Rendar dies escaping skyhooks explosion. Sounds exactly the same.
Well i have never played SOTE of even seen the game so even if that was how he was to die i certainly wouldn't be ripping it off. I always had an idea almost straight after seeing ROTJ in 1983 that Lando should have died. i had even planned it and wrote it down and i still have the outline i wrote. it took away the rehash of ANH feeling i had away from it. One thing i couldn't understand is why the hell would the emperor not protect the main core from torpedoes after what happened to the original DS? That just didn't make sense and still doesn't. My original outline was what if they reached the core and the torpedoes had no impact at all on the shielding. what do they do? the only ship large enough to do any sort of damage was the falcon. i had planned to have lando ram the core as he screams "yeeehaa" and it is wedges X-wing that you see just escaping the death star just before it explodes. But bloody independence day went and did it. i still love that idea but can i still do it now that film came out? i don't know. i may have to find an alternative ending somehow. now after the SE came out and the PT there was an extra part i wanted to see after the DS explodes which ties in all the celebrations around the galaxy. that, i am keeping secret for now.
So please stop thinking that applying any form of pressure to get me change my mind will ever work because it won't. I'm a Taurus so a stubborn bugger. lol
EyeShotFirst said:can we not have a poll. on the subject.
Han Dies
Lando Dies
Neither Dies
oh god. a poll about who does or doesn't die? you can't seriously think that i'll even bother to look at it let alone change my mind.
god this is just getting out of control now. I seriously think i need a break from all this crap for a long time.
