Another buyer wants the print, the owner has only given me until Sunday unfortunately. If it gets close, I can borrow the rest and hope that future donations come in.

Alternatively, can you ask the other buyer to borrow the print in exchange for a copy of the scans?

Not a chance unfortunately, I know who the other buyer is, and he is vehemently opposed to scanning prints. Oddly a lot of 35mm collectors are, perhaps they feel it will degrade the price of their collections?

Interesting. That sucks. :-/

Awesome =)

I'm going to try my hardest to make sure that this year is the year I finally see the Holiday Special. I hope it's everything I've heard it is!

Just in case you get some crazy notion--no, there is not enough beer in the world to make it tolerable.

That sounds like a challenge.

It sounds like a party.

Party at Colton Ricketts' house! Who is coming?!

The wife is an all-out Star Wars fanatic (me too, just slightly less),  so we have three VHS sets of Episodes IV-VI (original, remastered & special), plus three Dvd sets (Ep. I-III, and two versions of Ep. IV-VI), plus the blu-ray boxset. Of course we cannot miss the Despecialized. Looking for Italian & English subs for all the three movies.

Thanks in advance!

I believe that the most recent release is on MySpleen.

2. Don't make any effort to be consistent with the EU.

I don't think they are going to worry about the EU, simply because the casual fan and most SW fans (including me) have never read any EU stuff so we don't know the difference.

In saying that, I expect to hear from the EU fans once the ST comes out, as I am sure they will be one of the biggest bashers of this trilogy for that reason alone.  It will be comparable to OOT fans like us bashing the SE.

I actually thought about all the battles on the internet that will probably be going on once the ST comes out:

OOT fans vs SE fans

OOT fans vs Saga 1-6 fans

Saga 1-6 fans vs Saga 1-9 fans

Saga 4-6.1-3 vs Saga 1-6

EU fans vs ST fans

Did I leave anyone out???   LOL!

lol, can we expect originalsaga.com sometime soon?

... or is that just TFN? :-D

New Petition

I am an artist myself (musician) who would not appreciate fans telling me what I can and cannot do with my own songs (even if they have a perfectly valid cultural point, mind you). I read the online petition and I find a glaring problem with it that nobody seems to have addressed (or maybe they did but I can't search the forums for it): the fact that you get more flies with honey than with a stick.

Did thousands of other musicians work together to make your songs for you?

Mr. Lucas, we acknowledge that these are your creations - and yours alone, and that anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is sadly mistaken.

AntcuFaalb said:

Star Wars might have been Lucas' original idea, but it wasn't his creation.

Hundreds (thousands?) of people contributed to the creation of Star Wars, including some who put more time and effort (and therefore had a bigger impact) into it than George Lucas himself.

Very few people create an entire film in isolation. George Lucas certainly didn't.

The idea Star Wars belonged solely to George Lucas–or that any movie belongs solely to its director–discredits and devalues the innumerable contributions made by all the people involved.
