I pray for you and yours, Ady. I wish your mother a quick recovery.
I usually don't like these MyFace-type websites, but y'know what? If it's for Adywan and the Revisited Star Wars saga, I don't care.
And I think that Ady has been doing a bang-up job on what has been shown in these three most recent vids. The tiny little shuttle only reinforces, even though they themselves are dwarfed by the Executor, just how large the Imperial Star Destroyers are.

AOTC should be made to be more like ESB, not the other way around.
Absolutely! That is exactly what it sounds like Ady will do for AOTCR. And I absolutely agree with that particular sentiment.
I really gotta reply here more often; I feel a little like my inclusion in the credits is a little unwarranted.
Ah well.
I really look forward to this, as usual! I can't think of much else to say; my mind's a real muddle with all the college stuff going on right now.

HELL NO!!!
He doesn't sound old enough to be the emperor, at least, not the one i'm used to.
ady, btw, has blended the two voices together and that works for me.
No, i haven't blended the two Emperor voices. i used Ian's voice from the 2004 DVDs but timed to match the original emperor.
Yeah, I did notice that his cadence was a little different from the original 2004 DVD [PARADOX!!!]. He spoke a wee bit faster than the DVD Emperor did.
Also, a belated "AWESOME WORK!!!" on managing to restore the first "yes" in the Emperor's scene. I always liked that, and was let down that it was omitted in 2004.
*sees the trailer*
"I am NOT disappointed, Adrian. NOT disappointed AT ALL."
...Sorry, I just HAD to paraphrase Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan there. It just... blew me away! I have a GOOD feeling about this!
2010 cannot come fast enough!
May the (Revisited) Force be with you, Ady!
adywan said:well i can't see why selling some hand built stuff would be illegal. There is no way i could possibly think of selling the sets though. The canyon alone is going to be 13ft & 3ft and the hangar is going to be huge also so no possible way to ship these things in one piece. I may, however, be selling the Wampa and some of the smaller things that i wouldn't be needing for any of the other films in the saga. But its getting the money together to get the things done in the first place that's the problem. lol
Well, the only alternative I can think of is that you could take an INSANE number of photos of the larger sets, like the canyon and the hangar, for perusal by your many fans.
If I had any money to spare, I would gladly dispense some to see some of the models for this fan edit completed. Of course, hopefully by the time you're selling those models (maybe), we'll be sufficiently secure over here in the US of A (in a financial sense) where I would be able to purchase, like, the Wampa or something. (Which I can't really wait to see, by the way.)
Well... I guess... all I can say to Ady is... MTFBWY!
Well, I can't really think about anything to say, other than that it'd be a shame to have to destroy the models after you've finished with them, Ady, but unfortunately, that is the tragedy of film-making.
adywan said:yeh i like the look of this one too. i've noticed that the horns are actually part of the wampas cheeks instead of ones protruding from the side of its head. this would explain why, when they added the extra fur to the cheeks, that the horns became hidden as they couldn't tuck the fur underneath them.
So I think we can expect that the final Wampa puppet will look something like this one, right?
Oh, and doubleofive, I will be sending you a PM regarding my civilian identity (wow, do I sound like a super-hero or what?) for inclusion in the credits for ESB:R. I want to see my name in the credits for a Star Wars movie.
EDIT: I just remembered. Ady, you mentioned that there will be no new music added in ESB:R. No complaints here. But still, you'll probably need to for the OriginalTrilogy.Com credits. If I guess correctly, you're gonna use the music from the full-length pieces from the soundtrack, like the full-length versions of Yoda's Theme and the Imperial March. Right? 'Cause technically, that's not new music.

The good with the paintings is that they are fast.
The diference with the mattes is it needs time.
Monroville: I really like the concepts you make. But Ady will be the final judge of what is in or not :)
I try to make your ideas with more detail just for fun and for brainstorming!
-Angel
...Wow. That looks... a LOT better.
If I may say so, this sort of reminds me of the Droid Factory from AOTC.
I hope that Adywan is able to pull something like this outta the hat.
nohandluke said:Just because you're a clone doesn't mean you have the same voice. A clone of someone raised in another country will speak a different language with a different accent, thereby changing their vocal pattern, despite being an exact copy of a person on the other side of the world...
Case in point, Ewan McGregor in The Island. He plays two characters in that: a clone and the template. The clone has an American accent (and Ewan does a FANTASTIC American accent, for anyone who's seen this or Down with Love), and the template has Ewan's natural UK accent.
Sorry, but I had to respond to that. I think that this illustrates that accents are not hereditary fairly well.
I can't honestly say I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one, Adywan, but... in the same breath, I can't honestly say that I know what it's like to lose one so suddenly.
All I can offer you are my deepest condolences.
May your nephew be with God right now.
A little nagging thing that I think needs to be addressed:
Yoda's forefinger wobbles a bit as he unclenches his fist as he says "feel the Force around you..." I mean, I have no problem with Yoda's ears wobbling, but his finger wobbling as he unclenches his fist feels a little too 'dejarik table' to me.
And to think I only noticed this bug as I was watching it a minute or two ago. It should be a cinch to address.
I haven't posted here in a while, but I hit upon an idea that, like many postulated here, may or may not work.
Perhaps the "Luke and Leia" theme could play when Luke contacts Leia from under Cloud City, in place of the Force Theme. Of course, the original music could "bleed" through under the new music, so... I'm not altogether sure about this. It could work, but still...
Just thought I'd throw it out there.
...Man, I haven't posted here in ages!
As for Boba Fett's voice... all in all, I think Jason Wingreen's performance outdoes Temuera Morrison's in all aspects. As much as I like the work you did to Morrison's voice, GoodMusician, I think just switching whole-sale back to Wingreen is the best option. Of course, that's what I think. What you did was great; the inflections on the word 'dead' could be worked on a little more, though.
Still, I could live with either the retooling of Morrison's voice or just switching to Wingreen's voice, so long as the 'retooling' brings in the menace in Wingreen's tone that is missing in Morrison's.
Of course, Adywan has the final say here. We'll have to wait and see what he thinks on this.
