Consider this: a full-time editor is supposed to finish editing a film in 1-3 months for a feature film, and then there's also 2-6 months for effects.

It depends on what you're up against.

To name one editor's work (Uncanny Antman);
Jericho Cane took him one month only (on-and-off).
If he could have worked non-stop, he probably would have finished his work in half that time.
Dark Angel: Children of the Revolution, on the other hand, took him around a full year, again, with on-and-off periods.

CBB worked only 9 weeks on War of the Worlds, Extinctive Cut,
and a measly 15 days on Reflections.

It depends on what you're planning to do with your edit, how much free time you have (you can not predict  future events), and not to mention the experience and materials you have at your disposal.

Ady, when you release the ESB:R AVCHD, will it already have those black matte bars in the image? I hope not because all it does it make the actual image smaller. Some of the clips you've released have it (like the ESB:R trailer) while others don't (like the Bespin escape).

Those black bars are essential for a proper viewing of the AVCHD. Some of Ady's youtube clips don't have them and they are stretched horizontally, which is normal with anamorphic DVDs but not with HD.

No they're not, the Bespin escape clip for instance is a 720p TS stream with no black bars and it plays perfectly on my widescreen monitor. I've noticed that some of the Facebook clips are stretched, but I think that's because of some other reason. If you play a 720p or 1080p clip with no black bars on a widescreen monitor it will create the bars itself.

But if the bars are already part of the image it will still create them and thus you have two sets of black bars surrounding your image, which makes the image look even smaller.

EDIT: Chewtobacca's right. I too was thinking of MKV's.

Yes, but not in AVCHD or Blu-Ray format, these formats have a resolution standart of 1280x720 (16x9) for 720p and any other aspect ratio has to have black bars to fill the picture to the same resolution. An AVCHD with a resolution of eg. 1280x544 just won't work.

But if the bars are already part of the image it will still create them and thus you have two sets of black bars surrounding your image, which makes the image look even smaller.

And this is absolutely false; because the black bars that are already in the picture conform the picture to a 16x9 AR, the player will not add any bars because it will be playing a 16x9 video. The only issue is the black bars taking up data space but it isn't much because they stay the same all the time so they're easy to compress.

you cannot create a AVCHD or a Blu-Ray without the black matte bars. For a 720p movie the video has to be 1280 x 720. So you cannot remove the matte bars as they have to be added or the vertical resolution will not be 720 it would be 546 so not AVCHD or Blu-Ray compliant. It also does not make the image any smaller by adding them. That's impossible unless your monitor is screwing up the aspect ratio. The image will look the same size whether it has the bars or not.

EDIT: Harmy beat me to it

Obviously there are exceptions, I'm just giving you the industry standard I've learned in film school.

Imp officers are out!

Wow! Why have I not seen that before!? That's gonna come in handy!

A while ago there was discussion of dissatisfaction with the Emperor referring to Luke as “Young Skywalker” and some suggested in might be possible to make him say “Luke Skywalker” as Clive Revill did in 1980.  What has become of that?  Did it turn out to be possible, impossible, or yet to be determined?

Also, will Ian McDiarmid’s face be visible in that scene, or hidden by his cloak hood like the Darth Sidious hologram in TPM?

Well, I'm guessing he's gonna look like he does in the trailer.

Jaitea, where did you get the "Luke" from in that video?

ady, I'm not sure if you caught it or not, but I posted a question on page 815 at the bottom in regards to graphic cards. Much appreciated.

Ady,

I had asked this question before all the recent craziness on this board, but I wanted to know if you were going to be doing anything with the AT-AT stop motion to make the movement seem more natural or smooth, like what you've done with the Tauntaun footage?

Brilliant!

A little more echo on "Luke Skywalker" and it'd be perfect!

Jaitea is the best motion mockuper that can take impossible ideas and make them happen ;)

You know, I'm in the minority here I'm sure, but I actually like the Emperor calling him young Skywalker. I can't quite articulate it. But to each his/her own.

It might Palps dont know how old is this skywalker. Thats why the empire knows only rumors and spy recordings.. for a Luke skywalker..

-Angel

They know he's the offspring of Anakin - that would make him 24 or 25 wouldn't it? I think he'd know...
