All in all, Empire should not have taken this long considering it needs the least amount of work done to it. Im all about coming close to perfecting these movies, but honestly, when the trailer came out, it seemed like this movie was going to be done shortly after the trailer release. And now we are all thinking of silly ways into delaying the release of the movie that really needs some fun, and difficult work done to it.
Well i'm really sorry that these "silly ways to delay the release" was down to my personal health issues, caring every day for over 2 years for my sick Mum and then losing her early last year followed almost immediately by my dad discovering he had cancer and i continued to care for him every day until we lost him a couple of months ago.And now it's the battle i have with my brother who turned into a huge ass since Dad died and wants everything his way. And also now because my ass of a brother has demanded a sale of dads house, i'm having to reorganise where the hell i am going to film and store all these miniatures and the Wampa cave set, which was all to be done at Dads.
The breath video was just a test to see if it could be done and how long it would take to do and if i liked the look of it, which i don't. I stated a long time ago that i would be taking time out from this edit so doing these few things were more of a distraction for me. Most people that have gone through what i have gone through since starting this edit would have given up a long time ago and, to be honest after seeing so many comments around the net complaining how long its taking me, i really wish i had.
I'm aiming for a May 2012 release date. I just need this break away from full on working on this edit or i will just go insane. All i want to do is build the miniatures in my spare time and then film them once ready. I will not be touching any effects, editing or composite work until all these are done and filmed. Last thing i want at the moment is to be stuck at the PC 24/7 like i was before all this happened.

I know these little changes are making all of you happy, but i dont think any of you realize what kind of potential you all have into getting some serious recognition and attention.
I don't do these edits for recognition or attention. They are just something i wanted to do and share with everyone.

(I realize that there are threads and stuff for the PT and ROTJ, but i guess this ramble is mainly talking to adywan).
Just a ramble i felt i had to give. Dont hate me everyone!!
Sometimes personal things get in the way of these edits and reading a little way back in this thread would have given you all the answers as to why this is really getting delayed. But we don't hate you ;)
