Ady,

Your monitor is on its way, my friend.  Estimated arrival date-- 7 to 10 business days from December 28th.

Translation-- somewhere between Jan 7th and Jan 12th.  It is also insured against loss or damage.

Let the smilies commence!  

That's great news! It's really good you're doing this Jacen.

Nice one Stewie....i mean  Jacen (Vorhees)

How did you do that gif????

Find a .gif you want to use from a website, copy the image location and insert it like a regular picture.

You didn't know that?!

:)   

Jaitea, I love the blizzard idea, it makes the elements of Hoth seem more formidable.

Is Adywan still taking donations for that teaser clip?

nice idea Jaitea, and well done.

I like it.  I think its subtle enough to not take attention away from the actors, but obvious enough that its pretty dangerous to go outside.  Are those stray flakes making their way in as the door closes?

And this is why I like this board and this edit specifically.  Ady posts a clip and we try to make it the BEST clip possible.  People sitting in an office working together rarely see their work from an outsiders perspective.  All movies should be made like this.

I understand this is a concept test, but would it look better if someone was able to take a scene from one of those various nature blu-rays (like PLANET EARTH) to put outside the cave entrance?

Hey, I forgot about that. Well, that's something to look forward to. I can't remember when the deadline was. (and I did just search back 10 pages, but I guess I missed it)

P.S. Nice clip, Jaitea!

I believe it was "before the New Year", so you have a couple days left.

That's what I was thinking, but couldn't find it from the proverbial horse's proverbial mouth. I donated, so it's Enigmas that has a couple days left. Go for it, fella! :)

So, I've been gone for a while and must have missed when Adywan mentioned this.  If anyone knows where Adywan first mentioned this, could you PM me a link to the post?  Thanks!

EDIT: If you don't remember where it is, don't worry about hunting it down on my account.  If I don't hear from anyone I'll find it on my own.  Just real busy right now.

Take too long to find.  Recap: Ady said that he wouldn't be able to do the cameo idea, so everyone who donated for the cameo and everyone who donated for the rest of the year would get a clip from the Asteroid Field to Luke's Arrival on Dagobah, 99% finished, with basically everything changed from the last time he released Asteroid Field.

Just any amount, or is he doing something with different levels of donations, like Bronze Donors=$X, Gold Donors=$Y, etc. etc?

^He has never asked for set amounts. I don't see him ever doing that. He may give a total that he needs for a certain item, but he's not PBS, giving different prizes for different donation levels. ;)

Feel free to donate what you feel comfortable with friend, he will not spread around what has been donated by whom and every little bit counts towards a better film anyways :)

The youtube-clip displaying indicating a snowstorm on Hoth's surface, looks great! It's one of those nice subtle changes the official Special Edition was short of because it "needed" to be obvious (Mos Eisley gags).

The original version with the blue blackground in the opening looks like there is a swimming-pool outside and Chewie is crying because Han and Luke having fun in it without him.

Just discovered (Star Wars, Episode IV):
Here's a nice overview regarding differences in the original Star Wars compared to the Special Edition and of the video versions published (unfortunately German only). "Schnittberichte" means "cut report". http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=4334040
