I looked into this ... especially around chapters 35 & 37. The most unfortunate problem is music and other ambient noise (an especially prominent Chewie growl messed up perhaps the cleanest version). I'm still listening though.

It sounds almost like a formula engine, but not anything like what I've dug up so far in Google.

I’m looking to re-create the sounds heard in the finale of the ROTJ SE without any background music (working on a pet project). I’m currently in need of:

Twin-Pod Cloud car passing by
Cheering crowds
The “rumble” from Palpatine’s statue falling down.
Fireworks.

Some of these can likely be supplemented from Non-SW sources, but the cloud car will be hard to reproduce from other sources. Any ideas?

When adjusted for inflation we clearly see that the prequels have, in fact, NOT been as successful as the OT. Furthermore, after Episode I, which burned many lifelong fans, we see a plummet in the box office.

It is also interesting to note that ESB, which LFL has actually slighted for having the lowest box office returns, is actually second-highest when adjusted for inflation, after the juggernaut of ANH.

It is extremely important to recognize the box office haul in terms of its period in history. What happened in 1977 was extraordinary, and if Gone With The Wind didn't have a 38-year head start in an age where theatrical re-releases were common, I daresay that Star Wars would have actually eclipsed it.

Based on the number of people who are telling me they haven't actually seen the theatrical cut of Pearl Harbor, I hope you'll use this thread to discuss the real merits and drawbacks of the Pearl Harbor: Strength and Honor edit here. I was mentioning to Darth Simon how I think this is actually a genuinely good film now, but I'm obviously blinded by my involvement in the project. So I'm curious about your collective take on the following:

1) If you've only seen this version, is it a genuinely good and inspiring movie?
2) If you've seen this and either of the official versions, how do they compare?
3) Is this re-edit an improvement of a bad film, or a genuinely good film on its own?
4) If you've seen both and you saw the re-edit first, how did it affect you emotionally when you saw the official version?
5) And vice-versa -- if you saw the official version first and THEN saw this re-edit, what did you think and how did you feel?
6) What lessons can this give Hollywood?

I liked the voiceover but hated the happy ending of the theatrical version. I found the "dream sequence" to be grossly out of place, as if it were forcing the afterthought of Deckerd-as-a-replicant upon a new generation. It made it less ambiguous.

Theatrical cut - happy ending = my favorite edition.

I've apparently successfully brainwashed myself. Having just watched Batman Begins for the first time since my ROTS project, I heard myself thinking in a couple of spots "Hey, wait, he said that in Star Wars." Even lines that I ended up not using had that effect because I spent a lot of time on them too. I had to reset my thinking during BB.

Trooperman, the transition looks outstanding. Care to PM me with details on how you pulled them off?

Whenever writable Blu-Ray comes into vogue it may be worth me doing all this work again and putting the transitions in, 'cause they do look great.

I think the Wookiees helping Yoda provides the Empire a VERY good reason for enslaving Kashyyyk in the time between III and IV.

If the final edit was larger than a SL disc, then I created both versions, yes. Ones that were SL-only straight out of the authoring program were:

Austin Powers 1-3
Tomorrow Never Dies
Elf
Blazing Saddles
Wizard of Oz
Aladdin

There may be others but those are the ones that come to mind. In other words, if it ISN'T listed here, it DOES have a DL version floating around.

DAYV, your PM is out, but this info is worth making public anyway:

Hannibal and Star Wars -related art for my stuff has been done by Boba Feta.

TheCassidy did stuff for Austin Powers, Harry Potter and The Terminator series. Those weren't submitted to the edit contest since there were really just extended edits without a real creative redirection. But his artwork is great and should be considered if there is a separate art contest.

Lastly, Darth Enzo is working up cover art for Pearl Harbor.

They're all far more talented at this kind of work than I and therefore deserve the lion's share of the credit.

Thank Boba Feta. He's the artist. I'm just a proofreader when it comes to cover art. He's got good things in store for round 2, by the way.

Ep III is done (hopefully). It's in the QC process now. I've watched it twice through now and didn't notice anything glaring. Gotta get an independent review from our trusty Dark_Jedi this weekend.

I cut a couple of big chunks out of Palpatine/Mace. The biggest and most effective one was straight from "You can't" to "I need him" and then straight to Anakin firing up his blade. Too much dialogue at a critical moment.

I think the Great Schism between Orthodoxy and Catholocism started off with rancor such as we've seen in this thread. Fruitless debates over interpretation. Star Wars shouldn't suck so much joy out of so many lives. Sheese.

Welcome aboard. It sounds quite challenging, but likely worth it. It's possible just to remove Boga's sound in the mix without having to remove all the visuals. As for the other stuff, that is a huge challenge, but if it could be done ... woah!

It almost might be worth keeping Padme's funeral intact to put forth the notion that she faked her own death.

Edit: If you could grab the shot of her from Ep II on Naboo after Anakin's nightmare and superimpose that into Alderaan, you might have something huge.

I had fun with "le menu." My menus are grossly simple but with Hannibal (and with Austin Powers too) I had a lot of fun coming up with silly spins on terms and whatnot.
