For your consideration but I’m not sure if I’m sold on the idea.
RE: Marcia Lucas’ recent comments about the sudden appearance of the Falcon in the trench run.

It makes no logical sense, as the station defenses were designed to repulse ships larger than fighters.

It would have been nice if we heard a thunderclap of the Falcon jumping from hyperspace close to the station (taking a risk that he warned Luke about earlier in the film) but then you would miss the ship coming out of the sun.

Maybe Ady could play around with the concept in his next iteration of the film. I think as cinema it makes sense but even in a fantasy context it’s putting the Mechina into the Deus Ex.

Star Wars Episode -3 Qui Gon’s Feverish Extension 😄

Next week is the last week of my current job.
It’s been a bit difficult saying goodbye to so many fantastic volunteers and co-workers.

I had a job interview today. It didn’t go well. Very theatrically staged.

I was ushered into a room which looked very much like my old lab and I had to write a submission of ideas, timed.
I was then taken into a room with a very tall ceiling and a huge conference table. There were three middle aged bearded men interviewing a middle aged bearded man for a job on a equalities council.

I wouldn’t have been impressed with myself, I got a bit tense and stuttered and my brain froze up a bit but it was an experience. The annoying thing is I turned down a film audition (minor part nothing fancy) to have this job interview.

I logged on to my email and was greeted by two more rejection notices. It take many hours to fill these in. Nobody accepts CVs (resumes for my American pals) so you have to manually enter the data over and over. So to get a cut and paste generic rejection email is very dispiriting.

Something will probably turn up. “Keep Buggering On” is possibly my motto but it would be nice if it was easy for a while.

There is that added shot of the ladies pausing to hear the voice of Lando. It could be redressed so that troopers are pulling guns on them followed by blaster fire but that would a suggestion and we don’t do those any more 😄

I too think it would be best if Yoda remained a mystery and wasn’t a head of the council etc.
That he didn’t chose swampy forest because of an exile, but as a place to test himself, or a seclusion while he explores the Force, entire place for younger jedies should be sort of a pilgrimage where he decides are they worthy or not to be trained by him.

Didn’t he say he had a council on who was to be trained in ESB though?

“My own counsel will I keep, on who is to be trained!”

Counsel =/= Council

That’s just an interpretation though. He could have full well meant council.

The Script says:

  		YODA
  Ready, are you?  What know you 
  of ready?  For eight hundred years 
  have I trained Jedi.  My own counsel 
  will I keep on who is to be trained!
  A Jedi must have the deepest 
  commitment, the most serious mind.

They’re completely different words.

Wait, Yoda has his own personal council? Cool!

I’ll bet he also has very strict Principals.

“I’m not a committee!”

It might be interesting if when pushed to answer for the invasion in Episode 1 the Federation secede from the Republic on the spot. This being the beginning of the Separatist Alliance when other systems opt to join them.

It’s going to be The Empire Strikes Back Ady style with Jonno’s support feature reconstruction. WUP! WUP!

I should probably get around to downloading it now that I’m back.

What’s this Jonno thing?

He has done fun reconstructions of the sorts of adverts, trailers and support pictures that would have preceded the showing of the original films in the UK.

Irregardless of if he was removed I would like to at least hear Yoda’s dialogue so he isn’t jumbling up his words like he did when he was pretending to be a goofy swamp-dweller.

He jumbles his words after he drops the crazy act - it’s just how he speaks. It would feel really weird for him to be speaking normally IMO, even in a place where the whole planet is one big city.

He drops the act and drops the speach mode. He only resumes it in Jedi when he is making the joke about looking good for his age.

Hopefully when this comes out on disc they will do something a bit more creative than have a photoshopped girl peeping behind a CGI chimp.

If Lando is to stay, Maybe we could kill Wedge just to put a bit of bitter lemon into those celebration drinks.

When the Falcon has jumped to hyperspace and Vader walks off in a huff we could hear the thoughts of the Imperial officer who looks back at him. He thinks Vader has a nice ass.

Everything is spotless all around. So it pains me to even mention the one thing. When Yoda says to Luke, “Judge be by my size, do you?” His eyes turn towards Luke now and its a little off putting,

That was the very bit I loved that loved and mentioned in my previous post.

I haven’t even seen it and I already know that’s a dumb rating because Mala.

It was bad but it wasn’t that bad and nowhere near as bad as AVP:Requiem which is a crime against culture.

I had lots of trouble playing this (nothing to do with the file itself just my equipment falling to bits) so it was a bit frustrating and probably not the most optimal viewing experience.

However. Wow!

It felt very familiar and yet fresh.
At no point did I feel that any of the changes were things the technical wizards of the day wouldn’t have done if they had the time and the kit.

Yoda felt as much an actor performance as Sir Alec in the first one. There is a moment when he looks at Luke which is utterly sublime.

Those scout walkers are characters in their own right. Moving like stop motion but able to convey worry, nervousness etc in all the ways the battle droids of the prequels did not.

I will need to see this again many times to register some of the changes which took months (maybe years) to plan build and film. The hanger matte replacement, my biggest gripe about the original version was that hanger matte, made worse by the contrast and tinting of future versions, was over in seconds but looked much better. The Han in Carbonite and Wampa changes are almost subliminal at times and yet give the film increased tangibility.

It’s an astonishing achievement to make these sorts of improvements to an already classic and timeless movie.

I can’t wait to see what you do with the increasingly less classic third sequel and prequels as they are the films that really need rescuing.

I want to say Hi to SSWR.

I’ve been looking for my next ps3 game to play and as I have all tree of these and it showed up on these pages I have my choice made.

Computer locked getting a signal.

Going to watch Jonno’s UK cinema intro first if I can get my malfunctioning set up to work.
Entropy is bitch.
