This is the only Star Wars board I've ever been a member of.

Sorry Anchorhead, it is just that along time ago, there was a poster on TFN who only liked the original Star Wars like you. That was my only point, it is just interesting to see that several people who have the same tastes as you. I also believe that the universe became smaller with Empire, but I like the film to much to dismiss it.  I believe that the first two films are classics, while Jedi is problematic.

Just to help uniformity, I would recommend adding an "A:" to the beginning of the answers, similar to the Q in front of the questions. Hopefully I make sense. Also, on the editorial pages, I would have the header above the synopsis link to the editorial as well.

Wanted to point out a typo you may have missed Zombie, you spelled Japanese, Japanse.

When referring to the special collection, i saw you corrected the date as i suggested though.  I recommend the laserdisc database if you need to find the dates for releases.  They are far more accurate than imdb.

I don't recall anyone else mentioning this, but...

Am I the only one who, upon first seeing the title of this thread, immediately thought it was a call to reform regarding the official Star Wars website?

No?  Well, it's a legitimate cause as well, isn't it? ;)

Anyways,

Good stuff, zombie84.  I was finally able to view the site in detail the other day, and I think the site is a well-needed resource...something that looks professional, sounds professional, and tackles the issues in a brief and concise (with the addition of the FAQ) as well as thoroughly detailed way.

The one thing that I felt needed work was the amount of material that the non-OT.com layperson would not understand...so much of it contained inside terms (GOUT being a prime example already mentioned) and took for granted a reader's grasp of concepts we debate about every day, or spoke in a manner that would be confusing at best, alienating at worst to an outsider (geekspeak, perhaps?).  I'm guessing at least some of the material was written well beforehand without this site in mind.  For certain the FAQ and basic portions of the website should be absolutely devoid of this kind of speak, but you may also want to clean up the more technical and detailed sections of the website to a lesser extent, just to keep the focus clear for the outside reader.  Get down to the nuts and bolts for those who seek deeper knowledge, but keep it clear to the perspective of a newcomer.

Hopefully that comes across as constructive.

 Funny you mention that.  The first time I came across the thread, I thought the exact same thing.  I thought to myself, "Why does StarWars.com need saving?  Aren't those bastards rich enough?"  Then of course I read the thread and had a "d'oh!" moment.

I thought the same thing too.

So, I think I can use the WookieeGroomer splitscreen I have to start on a higher res recreation of the 77/04 comparison. Let me see what I can do.

Started screenshotting the comparison replacements. Already found a couple starfield changes that weren't documented.

Double005: Thanks a lot for any work there!

Teaser of the quality I'm getting from the Splitscreen:

Just host the pictures off site like we do already. I can make an account we can use exclusively for this project.
