Hi guys,

 

I just joined the forum after being directed here by a mate of mine, without reading through the entire thread (apologies for my impatience! lol) is there anywhere i can buy DVD's of all three of these seemingly excellent docs??

No there isn't; read the FAQ in the first post and the forum rules.

My internet speed at home is really poor and makes watching youtube virtually impossible!

alternatively is there anywhere i can get a download from?

many thanks for any help!

The preliminary h.264 MP4 version can be downloaded from the newsgroup (alt.binaries.starwars) or the torrent site Demonoid. The PAL DVD will be available on the newsgroup in the next day or two.

Hey guys, new here, so that might come off the wrong way, but I just wanted to contribute.

I watched Star Wars Begins on youtube and it's brilliant, just one little thing bugged me about the commentary. When the mouse droid gets scared away by Chewie it reads the mouse droid is a recast of R2's middle foot. That is simply wrong. Both the shape and especially the dimensions are completely different (I know that as I have researched R2 thoroughly for my droid build and also been active in the Mouse droid builders club). The mouse droid is considerably bigger than an R2 foot, at least twice as big, if not more.


Just thought I'd point that out, apart from that I enjoyed this a lot! So kudos to you :)

I am trying to find out where I got that 'fact' from. It was something I chanced upon at the last minute. Hmm. Any ideas? I've got so much crap going round in my head.

A little bit of Googling came up with this post on a forum for action figure customisers. Could something like this be the source of that particular information?

You're making me want to check out the scenes where they appear again, as I'm picturing them as lunchbox-sized. I can picture a mouse droid as being longer than R2's foot, though.

No that wasn't it. I thought it may have been ElstreeProps or Andrew Ainsworth maybe...Annoying.

I'm almost done with the YouTube, noticed in your reconstruction of Biggs and Luke in the hanger that it still didn't have the "knew your father" part, and no mention of it not being there. *shrug*

Any news on whoever it was who converted these to NTSC doing this one as well?

That was zeppelinrox. I don't think I've seen him comment on it yet.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

I am surprised that someone hasn't tormented the DVD yet.

 

 I have a whole 'legion' of TK's waiting for this. :)

Hi there,

I am new here. I already enjoyed BE and RTJ, so thanks Jambe for SWB

I have troubles downloading parts 5 and 6. Are there missing some articles in the threads?

Parts 5 & 6 are showing complete in my newsreader. (but everyone is different) The PARs should be able to fix two incomplete parts.  Otherwise purge your downloaded message headers and redownload them, could find the full version.  Especially if you downloaded the headers as they were being posted.

I too downloaded parts 5 and 6 and found them to be complete.

I could feed it to the demons once I get my copy, but that may be a few days still.

I've just got back to the UK after a few days away on business. Are there any of you American based folks who I've already sent the dvd to, who could sort out Sluggo please? I have so much to do and am flying away again on Tuesday!

The Demons are feasting.  Sluggo, send me a pm.

If I had some gum, I’d chew a hole into the sun…
