I don't quite have the guts to send this to Bruckheimer/Bay. I'm not terribly concerned about my own a$$ since I do own the movie outright. But I do worry about bringing unneeded attention here. The hope (and admonishment) is that everybody who sees this will pick up a used copy on the cheap to properly license every re-edit they posess. But these rich Hollywood screwballs don't take constructive criticism well and love to lash out with punishment.

I've wondered if Affleck would actually appreciate this flick. Now that J. Lo is out of the picture he sounds like he's becoming a down-to-earth guy again.

Help Wanted: Request - Sound FX for ROTJ finale
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/158675/action/topic#158675
Time

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:

  1. Twin-Pod Cloud car passing by

  2. Cheering crowds

  3. The “rumble” from Palpatine’s statue falling down.

  4. 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?

If the Prequels had been made first would they have succeeded?

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'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.

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.

THE FAN EDIT CONTEST HAS A WINNER !!! REVIEWS IN OFF TOPIC FORUM

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.
