There were some lines that were hard to understand, and there were some frame issues... But other than that it was a great trailer, A-Man.
How soon do you feel we'll see a finished edit?
OK here it is!

I'm not sure. I've never worked with DVD Architect so we'll see.

Yes sir. I'm waiting for ady's edit of ESB to start on Part II. I'm very excited for ESB and ROTJ as the similarities in them are unreal!

Will you start working the Bespin shot like you said?
:D

The trailer was amazing. Your first trailer wasn't as convincing, but this trailer makes me eager to see this very soon.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Yeah, the trailer was pretty good. I'm guessing this has been a very educational time for you, A-man?

This trailer was extremely moving! Good work! A few minor critiques:
1) I would remove, at least, the very first percussion cadence you have in there before Obi-Wan is about to show Luke the lightsaber. As it is now, you've begun to tease the coming tension when I haven't even had time to settle into the first mindset you're trying to establish.
2) You're closing caption "The story of . . . . . told simultaneously" is an awfully vanilla choice of phrasing consider how much building up your trailer has done before reaching this point. I would consider coming up with something a bit more compelling for your trailer sign off with.
All things considered, 5 Stars and a "Favorite!"
EDIT: I just caught the brief hesitation you gave Ben before he says "Darth Vader." It really goes a long way to selling the idea that Ben is in fact lying about him being Luke's father. Bravo, Bravo!
EDIT 2: Where is the music from? Is it Metal Gear Solid?

Sorry it took me a few days. On Friday I was informed of the passing of my uncle so I left for the capital with my family for his memorial. Right before we left for the memorial (in Ottawa for over 24hrs already) I went into a respiratory attack and we called 911. I was rushed to the Hospital and they forbid me to travel so that they could run multiple x-rays. This morning they allowed me to come home, but I have to go see a specialist tomorrow morning.

Haha, not yet. I'm gonna finish SW DVD Menus first and wait for the Revisited of ESB before I get to work on that shot.

Thanks, by educational time, did you mean the whole process of editing? If so then God yes! Haha, I've learned sooooooo much in working on this fanfilm and I'm eager to see everyone's reactions to the finished product!

Thanks! I don't necessarily agree with the first point, but I do understand where you're coming from. I'll consider that for the next one.
In terms of the second point I agree, that was just the best I could come up with unfortunately haha.
The hesitation thing was just an easter egg in the trailer not featured in the final film. I also inserted "Vader" before "helped the empire hunt down and destroy the jedi knights" to make it sound more personal and intense.
The music is from E.S. Posthumous.

I wish you could cut the Red Leader's final explosion shot as seen in your trailer(I've always hated that) it just looks like a load of plastic ice-cream tubs glued to a table.
It would be much more effective if we just heard his death cries over the communications link.
We see Vader hit him and the his ship about to hit the surface so do we actually need to see the explosion?
I wrestled with that scene for a while. I had played around and cut a lot of the classic scenes of ANH and the final assault on the Death Star was one that I wanted to keep completely. To give it a refreshing feeling, I added new music which is about the only change I gave that scene.

how much of adywan's edit did you borrow?
also, u wanna tell us what the music is or is that a surprise?
btw, glad ur alright.
All of the ANH scenes are from ady's edit. I was going to use the original duel but later decided against it and went with ady's edit.
In terms of music, I'm not going to disclose what I used (I don't want people to listen to the music because I don't want it to be familiar) but some of the music is even two-five different pieces that I mixed for something new. I'll be releasing a soundtrack sometime after the DVDs are shipped and before I start on the second part.
And thanks for your concern rcb. I'm taking it easy for now, limiting my driving, my attendance of class and work and I'm taking a break from Renascent until I can no longer feel the pain in my chest. The odd thing is that I don't even smoke and I'm not tall and really skinny either so they've labeled it a "spontaneous pneumothorax"

what the heck is that? so out of nowhere you can have respitory attacks or whatever it is? sounds like someone with terrets, i think that's how its spelled, only its worse.
i thought seizures were bad...

Gosh! That's a run of misfortune. You have my condolences. I hope you receive good news from your doctor.
Still, I am glad to hear that you have learnt so much from working on this edit. I am really looking forward to it.
Thanks for the concern and the support. The doctors say I'm healing miraculously fast now.

This looks very cool - can't wait to see the completed project! Great job on the trailer!

i like how you captured obi talkin about anakin with correct looking cuts from the film. cunning warrior, best star pilot and such.
Thank you both! Anyone know where Ripplin is by the way?
Also, I got my new tower in last night. Still haven't put Architect on it, I'm going dancing tonight so that'll probably be tomorrow. The computer cost so much freaking money it was ridiculous. I still have a laptop I have to buy too.
If you guys remember I had mentioned that I would be buying a MacBook Pro for my program but the truth is that I need a good Windows PC too so I bought one 10x better than the last one! Editing should be a breeze now!

Again I say... Looking forward to this.
one thing i do miss, is hearing the sounds of john williams in these remakes. his music made for the episodes, just fit. not sure yet on the new styles of music.
