3fW-

I must apologise. I wrote a lot up there and although I took great care to phrase it carefully so as to avoid causing offence the fact that more than one of you has misunderstood me means I haven't expressed myself in the way I intended.

I understand and agree with everything everybody said but your responses were to something that I didn't write. I'm about as far away from the guy asking "is it out yet?" As you can get. Sorry, I thought I'd written things clearer than that.

What I was trying to express was that I am a big fan, a donator and have been following the project since its announcement but DESPITE my overall enthusiasm and love for it the last update did not fill me with excitement. I'm trying to say that after 6 years and nothing but high quality material produced by Adywan I have begun to feel "dulled" to the same routine of "this is what is currently being worked on" but having no more idea than I did 6 years ago when, or if I'm ever going to be able to see the end result.

My point is that I am one of the patient fans, who has waited and watched and contributed and has never and will never lose interest in it however long it takes to complete. But if I can begin to feel weary then the more casual (or less fanatical than most of us here!) folks who undoubtedly make up the majority of the supporters for this project certainly will not stay with it for as long as is going to be necessary.

The FACT is that it's been 6 years. A lot of technical obstacles and real-life problems have contributed to that and those of us who've been here for this long know what they are. In ideal circumstances with bucket loads of donations and unwavering support from all areas I can't see the revisited team taking any less than an average of 18 months to complete a film. That's a very long time if you're impatient and entitled and looking at it from the most positive perspective I am concerned that those fans who simply can't wait will begin to feel frustrated, resentful and eventually apathetic.

This tipping point is likely to come soon because the majority of the work on the revisited saga has yet to begin. Without ever increasing financial support this project will either take the rest of Ady's life or it'll just fade away. It needs support and patience.

Again, I want this project to succeed. I'm a staunch supporter and I've championed it as much as I've been able to. I'm trying to point out certain realities as I see them about the nature of the casual supporter.

The ideal situation is an always increasing fan base who donate and spread the word and patiently wait until the work is done. Honestly, can you see anybody except the man whose hobby this is staying strong for another, say 15 years?

I'm a fan, I support this thing and I want to bring nothing but positivity to help it along but sometimes reality just can't be ignored.

-and Frink, you should never keep your thoughts to yourself, it'd be doing the rest of us a disservice if you did!

Hello all, I've been lurking around this site for many years but I decided to make an account today. I have been reading about and anticipating TESB:R since it was announced and I've followed the ups and downs and enjoyed all the previews we've been given.

This project is a very exciting one for me, as it is for the ever growing section of SW fans who post here and "like" the FB page. I've donated toward the project and I plan to do so again in the future. I am a fan.

However, after seeing the latest updates this week regarding the blaster and the trees instead of being interested I essentially just shrugged and sighed. I'm interested in the behind the scenes work and I know it's one man's work at the end of the day but this project is feeling more and more like a carrot and stick sort of situation.

I know it's been a long wait fo everyone and it's being done on no real schedule so it will take as long as it takes but at the end of last year Adywan apologised for not getting it finished saying he'd done his best. Now, this year we've had new clips, more regular updates and some behind the scenes photos but it looks as though there is still quite a lot of work left to do.

The HIC, the Hoth explosion, and I believe, the Wampa are still to be completed - not to mention filming the Imperial chap and the complete sound remix. Realistically, keeping in mind the speed things have taken so far, the film might be finished by Christmas if not the first quarter of 2015.

Given the popularity of this project and the very long production time and the fact that Adywan has said he will tackle all of the remaining 5 films at the same time after completing this I think the reason why I'm sighing at the latest updates is because I know that it's highly likely we're looking at a decade, if not longer for the Revisited saga to finally be completed.

I want this project to succeed, it's important for these films to be available in such a polished and cared for edition. But the fact that there is only a small team involved and the funding is based on donations and, most importantly, that the majority of the visual effects, heavy editing, script (re)writing, rescoring and everything else is STILL to come does not fill me with hope.

I do as much as I can, as do a lot of other people, and the fanbase grows literally every day but I am beginning to think that no matter how many donations we make, and how patient we are over the years, that time WILL get the better of this project.

Again, I really want this thing to succeed but the fact that Revisited relies more on good will and plain old luck than professional support means that a tipping point will happen once the "hard" work begins on the prequels.

I'm a huge fan and I salute every pixel of this project and every molecule of Ady's talent but after watching this for so long, and with the information I have, I have genuine concerns it might collapse under the weight of its own ambition.

(sorry to sound like a troll guys, I hope some of you can appreciate my viewpoint though!)
