Not splitting hairs at all. You presented a superficially similar yet entirely irrelevant counter to what I said, and I shot it down. And why shouldn't I have?

I think it paints Ady as mercenary when that's not the case at all, nor have I seen any examples of that despite your assertion that you could dig some up.

As for suggestions, I have none because nothing needs to be done. The project is progressing and I'm looking forward to the final edit.

If the examples paint Ady as being mercenary and neither of us believe he is than perhaps there is a problem with presentation which is what my suggestions are an attempt to address.

Only the example you gave......which wasn't an example at all. That was my point.

As I said I could waste my time finding similar examples where the link between progress and fundraising could create a false impression of Ady being mercenary.

The point is he isn't and the the earlier post raises valid concerns about presentation and perception that slow progress will lead to a drop off in enthusiasm. Which I defended because I saw it as being unjustly 'shot down' as you say.

However if it helps I'm willing to concede that your pee-pee gun is bigger and fires more efficiently :-P

Asteroids...please yes.

 You are!

I could let it lie, but I'm not going to. Bingo. Can't you understand those examples are no different and you just made my point for me? None of those examples had Ady promising PROGRESS UPDATES in exchange for donations. I really don't get what you're trying to accomplish here. 

Those are just raffles. I thought people universally loved raffles. Buy a ticket, you could win a prize! Suddenly it's a mercenary activity? Please.

Bingo stop over complicating the situation.

If you went to a cinema and when the film started the image was a small box in the middle of a large screen. You would complain about the size of the image and not only think it looked crap but that you would want your money back.

The cinema then goes on to explain sorry but we don't have the right lens.

Do you get it or not get it.

There is no way around an issue of this sort apart from the right lens.

Nothing complicated at all. and lens glass is the real sting because it's expensive stuff.

I appreciate you are a good supporter of the project and I don't think your intentions are ill but try to understand the situation a bit better. It's unfortunate but a reality.

And may I add anyone else who does not get it or has stupid fears.. Things like this fill me with more confidence than anything else that it's being done proper.

While we're on the subject of the asteroid field, I'd like to bring up this question, since it was never answered.

In the latest version of the asteroid chase, when the Falcon gets close to the surface of the big asteroid, it still has a perfect circle for a shadow. Is it still in the plans to make a more detailed shadow that matches the Falcon's shape?

 Guys! Answer to this questions and stop complaining about the donations!

It posts like this that confirm my suspicions about you being a warm and helpful member of the human species.

Maybe I am wasting my time trying keep this project going, maybe I'm wasting my time promoting your projects too and pointing people in the direction of them. Maybe I waste my time with all the ideas threads and all the other things I've done on this site.

Maybe I should just stop wasting my time and yours.

Cheers x

 I appreciate all those other things, no need to get your foot bent out of shape.

I just fail to see how this benefits the project.  And please don't try explaining it again, it won't change my mind.

Hey Bingo, I don't like the sound of your last post, hope youre alright mate, you're not wasting your or anyones time.....

I wanted to say that although I don't think Bingowings meant any harm with what he was saying I do honestly believe he had the best intentions. I don't think he really went about proving his point in the best way possible but It certainly was not a malicous attack.

Without flogging a dead horse here are some tips.

Your About Tab on the facebook.

It needs to better convey what the mission is. This should not only be about the Team but what they are striving to achieve. Why do this project? What is the History? For a new comer it has nothing to offer but an assumption that you already know about the previous revisited project. What is Revisited all about? a personal admission from the man in charge. If you are on a mobile the about tab is the first thing you read.

Quote articles that covered your previous project.

Your Videos on Facebook

So far the last few days will not play anymore for some reason. or at least for me.

Presenting a donation drive

Although the donation drive for the lens is primarily been about the Dagobah and Hanger set miniatures. The Hanger miniature would have generated more interest visually and been more exciting. Capturing peoples imagination a bit better. A bunch of trees although fantastically crafted does not have any showbiz about it. Falcon hanger does...

Fan engagement

You go in too quick for posting up your fixes and working towards the fix. Start with comparisons of shots from the original / SE / let people discuss the changes between the versions. Create awareness about why you are doing what you are doing This way some people will feel more engaged if they knew there was a difference in the first place. Yes honestly some people may never have seen the original films. This way the story unfolds and also is more topical. Make people feel a part of your journey from the start not just where you have popped in solution. Bad news is far more interesting so show harmful changes to the films... and put it up for discussion there. There is an educational element missing that most could / would need where some do not.

Although it all is progressing well, there is always room for improvement. This is what I think can be improved upon with the approach /fan page. The people there will do the rest I would hope.

But it's a constructive criticism overall I think it is good page but not sure why videos won't work for me there?.

It's nothing Majorly wrong let's put it that way. I think you are doing a great job overall.

 I agree with you on the "About" tab. I've been meaning to offer a rewrite to Ady for a while now since I feel, exactly as you do, that it doesn't clearly explain what the project is.

Apart from that, I feel that this is only the latest post that seems to have forgotten that the point of this project isn't the FB page, or Ady's fan interaction, or scheduled updates, but the edit itself. Ady works on this as his time allows, and updates when he has anything new to update, or when he feels like it. Despite people saying that he's not keeping the fans engaged he always seems to make his donation drive goals within a few days, and perhaps slightly longer for the larger amounts. There has been no shortage of interest in the project, and someone always comes along to throw some needed funds Ady's way. We're doing a LOT better than when the page only had only 4K likes.....there's hundreds of new likes per week.

Again, there's NO PROBLEM. Can we please drop this and get back to discussing creative ideas for the edit instead of the FB page?

Green lasers?

 Yes... Do Snow speeders use their tow cables to drag transports out of the Hanger?

I have no knowledge of the use of the tow cable apart from to bring down an AT-AT and I had this thought the other day that perhaps the transports needed towing in and out of the Hangers and perhaps were a bit cumbersome. Like domestic aircraft often get towed into Hangers.
