Well, why don’t we raise the topic and hash things out while it’s still fair game?
What does everyone think about Death Star vs Coruscant for the ending scene with Vader, Palpatine, and Tarkin?
Also, are we sure we don’t like the Russian version of the Vader scream? 😛

I like Coruscant better. Makes more sense to me. Palpatine standing there, looking over Coruscant as he has so very recently become Emperor of the galaxy. It’s fitting. And it’s more believable and asks fewer questions than a Death Star does.

I haven’t heard the Russian Vader scream for comparison. Link?

I believe that you might be the only one who wants to keep Vader screaming “No !!!” and the Frankenstein’s Monster walk as well. Are you sur you don’t like the L8 version of the scene ? 😃

I’ve given my reasons numerous times. It’s not that I want to, as much as feel I need to.

I might agree about L8wrtr’s wipe mid-scene, except that I feel he didn’t implement it very well. Considering that your primary goal is to make the edit feel as professionally edited as possible (which I have said many times to multiple people, that the best fan edits don’t appear fan-made), I can understand why you would leave it in if your efforts to remove it make it feel obvious there was a cut there.

Of course, I say that, and mid-sentence I think about the scene in ANH at the Death Star conference room where Vader waves his hand as though David Prowse is continuing even though Vader has no speaking part.

If it is between Death Star and Coruscant, I say Coruscant. The Death Star makes for a cool scene to set up A New Hope and it looks really cool, sure, but it just raises far too many questions. Why did it take almost 20 years to build the first one when they already had the plans but they were able to completely redesign, improve, and build a new one in only like 4-5 years?

It’s unclear when does the scene take place. Sure, the next scene is Ben “delivering” baby Luke, but still the death star scene could take place a few years after Palpatine founded the Empire. As for “how long does it take to build the death star”, ROGUE ONE might give an answer ?

Case in point: It raises far too many questions. You can suggest possible answers to those questions, but it doesn’t alleviate the problem that those questions are asked when they shouldn’t have to be.

Can someone tell me where to find the Russian Vader scream? I’m interested in adding my two cents to the question about it.

Here’s the Russuan version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=It0Ird3zFeY

Ooh. Yes, better.

Not /good/. Lol. But better. 😃

It’s like how I grew up with the stereo mix for Star Wars, and then Adywan puts the monomix Beru in Revisited and I’m all “Wait, what?”

Yeah, Russian is better.

Also, just in case it comes up, here’s the Japanese scream, which seems to now be off the table. (I personally like it.)

FanEdit.org user CommanderBen sent me another mockup of the Vader scene using the Japanese dub…

Instructions unclear. Watched Hal’s Youtube Poop instead.

Hal, (or anyone really,) is there completed-trilogy bluray case cover art for these edits?

My dad’s birthday is coming up, and I’m giving him burned copies of my Star Wars edits/preservations. I bought some (standard width) 3-disc bluray cases to but your whole trilogy in, but I’m still looking for cover art for it.

I really would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

No, just the DVD and iTunes that FE.org member OnlyOneKenobi did in 2013. I don’t know Photoshop or other serious image editing software, but perhaps someone could modify it by thinning the spine and swapping the DVD logo for BluRay.
Also, that’s a pretty cool gift you’re preparing!

Thanks!

Also, nice avatar.

I’m a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series. Ocarina of Time is my favorite game.

Off topic: Just in case some people wouldn’t know about the magnificent Zelda Symphony : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qp-ypYp6rQ

I see your Legend of Zelda: 25th Anniversary album (which was bundled with Skyward Sword), and raise you:

Hal, if you’re making changes for a newer version of your Ep II, can you please fix the this subtitle?

I’m really not a big fan of the way that G looks in the word “APPROACHING”.

Hal 9000 said:

Huh. Well… sure! I’ll see if I can’t find a more authentic font. “LABYRINTH OF EVIL” looks A-OK to me, so I won’t bother redoing that one.

Well…

Now that it comes to it, I feel that the Y in LABYRINTH leaves too much space surrounding it. My feeling is that, given the shape of the other letters in the subtitle, the Y should be more shaped like a tuning fork.

Way ahead of you; I went ahead and redid Ep3’s crawl when I did Ep2’s. 😃

😄

pics?

I seem to be having a problem converting the 1080p MKVs of your edits to Blurays (both folder or ISO) with TSMuxer.

The movies are jerky and pixelate.

Tried it with Harmy’s DE and it works fine. Are there any particular settings I should be using?

For any newcomers who are trying to burn this to BD using tsmuxer, make sure you select “Do not change SEI and VUI data”.

And remember that for Ep1 to fit on a SL disc, you’ll need to exclude one of the audio tracks.
