So I guess this means a December release?
I agree. I'm all for fixes as well, but when it comes to un-warranted changes when there is nothing that needs fixing is ridiculous.
This reminds me of the Leia line "look stardestroyers" that a few people requested to be changed a while back because they said it wasn't delivered well enough. While Ady wasn' totally against changing it, he ultimately decided not to because of lack of resource material.
I highly doubt he changes Hobbies line . It would be stupid to change that line just because a few people thought it wasn't delivered well enough. I never thought that line was delivered bad at all.
Never had a problem with it also.
Just saw the new clip, nice work Ady! Only problems I have with it are the two tie fighters we see when the imperial fleet arrives at Hoth, at the first part of the clip. You can see the blue screen matts around the ties when they pass by, and their flight path gets a bit sloppy right before the scene ends.
The other problem is the scene when the first transport takes off. The problem is not with the transport that is already in flight, it's the one thats coming out of the cave that is the problem. It's really distracting. I suggest that those background ships should be static or moving a bit slower, and composition wise, they stand out a little too much. They could use some softening. I also suggest darkening the ships a tad bit more. They seem to be catching a little bit too much light.
I think the focus should be on the ships in flight, and not on the ones in the background.
Other than that, I really like what I saw.
Why doesn't ADY just news group the video? The movies are going to be done like that anyway.
Lol, I hope that Wampug doesn't find it's way into a future starwars video game, or worse yet, find it's way into a future OT release.
Saw the latest clip. Always first rate stuff Ady. I'm also glad to see the 1500$ in donations was met so fast.
About the donations, I know it wouldn't do me any good to donate now, but does it haft to be through PayPal, or can we send a donation through mail? This of course is for the future edits.
LOL, for some reason I was thinking it was a video game.
Ady has already shown too much already. I think the trailers alone do the best job of promoting the edit, and Screenies are pushing it.
IMO, I think any clips should only be viewed by the ones that Ady has on his revisited team. Muddyknees, Doubleofive, RougeLeader and a few of others. I wish I knew their names. Every time a clip is released, it is picked to death, for better or worse. I really think the clips should be kept private for the most part.
Heh, it would also keep lucasfilm from stealing ideas before the edit is even finished. Anyone remember when Ady posted the clip and screenie of the Ion cannon by the Rebel entrance, then soon after, Lucas film posted a screenie of almost the same exact concept for a video game they produced if I'm not mistaken. Man that one had me steaming.
Actually, there are 2.5 trailers available for ESB:R. The teaser thats on the ANH:R dvd, the first release trailer. Then Ady released the first trailer again with some new footage.
The original TIE models made for ANH in 1977 were blue; however, they where recolored to a lighter gray and were filmed that way before the composite stage because the limitations of the blue screen technology made the TIE's transparent. I think the initial film release for ANH back in 1977 had all the TIE's gray. I do know all the film re-releases and video releases have them with the bluish tint Just like Ady has pointed out.
That blue screen pic that monroville posted is accurate. That TIE is gray.
The TIE's in ESB and JEDI were more gray with a bluish hue added in post.

There is a degree of unnecessary paranoia here.
There have been no posts advocating piracy, just a few posts enquiring on methods of avoiding piracy so people can watch this project and others while remaining as closely as possible within the law.
It's particularly important to underline the anti-piracy stance of the site and this particular editor now seeing as the release is much closer than it was 500 pages ago.
Questions were asked answers were given, deleting posts will remove information and possibly prompt the same questions to be asked again.
Not talking about such matters is if anything more suspicious and more likely to get the wrong kind of attention.
I agree, and it's very "UNLIKELY" that Lucasfilm and it's lawyers don't keep a close eye on whats going on here at OT.com, and especially ESB:R. I would also have to say they somebody from Lucasfilm probably monitors us on a daily basis.

People like myself are just making the intentions of faneditors and this website's stance on piracy clear. Jay, Adywan and any other fan editors are taking every precaution that it's done as above board as possible (short of us going out and policing the whole world!), and you're responding by pointing out the obvious - that people will ignore this site's and the project's disclaimers regardless.
As ben_danger and others have pointed out, considering the current fuss with SOPA, this site and fanedits are in very real danger of being shut down. So why are you going out of your way to underline the fact that people will pirate it? It gives any anti piracy government group extra ammunition as it makes out that the edit will encourage people to download without owning the source material (which they've always done and always will without the influence of this site. We already know!)Consider me baffled.
I'm with ya mate, I'm just saying you cant trust everyone to be honest.

The only thing that consoles me a little is that we are only very small fish in the sea full of real pirates, do a Google search for STAR WARS Blu-Ray 720p; there are hundreds, maybe thousands of different pirate copies of the actual official BD release, so 99% of people who will break the law and download STAR WARS in HD illegally are not going to download ESB:R or the Despecialized Edition, they are going to download Star.Wars.1977-1983.BluRay.720p.DTS-ES.x264-CHD or STAR WARS SAGA 1977 2005 BluRay 720p QEBS5 AAC20 MP4-FASM or some crap like that. And out of the 1% of illegal downloads of STAR WARS that our projects probably constitute, 90% probably do own the official release.
Will be intresting to see how much those stats change when ESB: revisited hits the torrent sites.
I'm pretty sure Ady will have that on both.

PROVIDED THE RECIPIENTS OWN THE BLU RAYS!!!!
Thats all fine and dandy, but when those recipients make copies to send out, they may or may not ask their recipients if they have the official blu-rays, and so on, and so on .......
Also when the edit makes it way to the torrent sites, who's gonna demand that person downloading if they own the official copies?
Anyway, I went to wall-mart today to price more Blu-ray players and I found a few that were down to 70$. Can't beat that at all.
Blu-ray players are now pretty cheap folks, get one. Do a trade like I did if you know some one who has the blu-rays and doesn't want them anymore.
I hear ya mate. I don't think it's fair at all for this site to enforce such a ridiculous rule. If you don't have the funds to upgrade for blu-ray let alone spend the 50 to 100 bucks just for the movies alone, I think that you should NOT have to own the blu-rays if you already have the same versions on DVD.
However, since you don't have a stand alone player capable of decoding HD material, you will not be able to watch ADY's HD version of ESB:Revisited. That also raises the question of if Ady will release a standard definition version for the ones that cant playback HD content, and will they still need to have the blu-ray's to have a lower quality version of ESB:revisited.

Have the blu-ray versions been released in any other form (legal downloads etc)?The problem I have is that I don't have a blu-ray player and don't really want one.
I could by the discs as a present and as the owner and purchaser of a set of discs download ESB:R and then give the discs away but would that count?
Blu-ray players are more affordable now than they were 2 years ago. I found one for just 100$.
My brother gave me his saga set after I talked him out of selling it to a pawn shop, and I didn't have to do much in return, just a trade and a favor, and no money out of my pocket. I will still never watch the official blu-ray's EVER, just Ady's version.
Ady is still looking at a May release. Visit doubleofives's word press for more info.
Georges retirement from making big blockbuster type movies is not because of the fan base or starwars. It was because of his latest movie project "RED TAILS" He spent 28 years trying to get it developed, and no studio would pick it up. George ultimately had to fund it himself for the most part ( 58 million ). He also couldn't get the any studio execs to screen the movie, and although I haven't seen RED TAILS, I heard it sucked major ass. Story was mainly non existent, and character development was in very poor taste, and a dishonor to the real men the story is about ( The Tuskegee Airmen ). I also heard some critics call the movie racist, and the dog fights where badly envisioned from what I have heard. I don't know what kind of planes The Tuskegee Airmen where flying in WW2, but George had them flying as fast as the German jet's we're, and maneuvering like a X-wing fighter.
Awesome clips as usual Ady. Not one thing to criticize.

You always have important things to say. LOL
And your point to all the stupid shit your posting is?
vbangle said:
Yes, I'm also sorry you posted two off topic posts.
At least I had something important to say.
Sorry about the off topic posting folks.
Here's a video that talks about the extradition issue with SOPA and PIPA.
vbangle said:
Since when does a USA law become international law?
The SOPA bill had a provision where the U.S. could extradite anyone in a foreign country guilty of copyright infringement. The U.S. would be allowed to send in the troops to other countries to arrest you, bring you to the U.S, and put you in jail. This PIPA bill has the same thing if I'm not mistaken. The PIPA bill is the SENATES version on SOPA.
