If it is to house the discs of the box set it would need a design for the extras disc, perhaps one of the OT single programme posters could be the inspiration?

When Worlds Collide :

Qui-Gon is undercover and Anakin gives no indication of knowing or suspecting he is a Jedi at that moment in time.

To him he's just an off-worlder in search of a ship part and he would, I suppose assume that Jar-Jar is the same or maybe even his slave until Padme expresses how quaint the idea of slavery it to her.

Besides Anakin seems to have a one track mind (even at that age) he's only interested in Padme the angelic and barely notices Jar-Jar until he starts to wreck the shop.

He'd proberbly be more interested in R2 (I would be when I was his age).

I suppose George thought that Jar-Jar had to be in those scenes because if he wasn't Jar-Jar wouldn't be in those scenes (if you catch my drift).

Hello folks,

Does anyone have any pictures of the throne of Naboo without anyone sitting on it?

There are a few moments in TPM but they are either motion blur city or blocked by too many actors to remove.

All angles are welcome but I would prefer them to be reasonably in focus.

Did the prop ever do the rounds in any of the exhibitions?

I'm trying to recreate the scene where communication between Coruscant and Naboo are cut off but where Padme and Panaka are on Coruscant and shown as holograms (which get cut off instead of or as well as Palpatine's) so I need to reconstruct the back of the chair to create the effect.

So far this is all I can do :

I tried again last night and it was still showing a mismatch I'll try again later and let you know.

Maybe it's not yours but someone else's uploading which is the problem.

Is it just me or are all the pics hosetd by imageshack not showing?

i can't see any of your pics Vaderios, so i can't comment yet

They are showing up fine here Ady.

It might be nice if when the OT:R is finished if someone made a PDF Collector's Edition (as in the magazine format books that used to come out with the movies) style booklet which could be printed off at home, explaining the project and with some behind the scenes material and some mock-ups of ideas used and not used to mark the half way point of this mammoth undertaking.

And then do another one when the PT:R is finished in the space year umpty thrumpty.

It would make a nice companion piece to the final set beyond what might be on a DVD (or whatever format we will be viewing things on in that far off future world).

I still have my original Star Wars Collection Edition booklets for the OT (the Star Wars one my dad got for me in cinema when we came out from seeing the film might still have particles of choc ice on it).

Here's the set:

(edit: link renewed :-) )

A lovely set and really evocative of a time when watching Star Wars at home was like having Christmas morning 24/7.

If the CBS FOX was changed to ADY WAN they would also make a fine addition to the Revisited range of alternate sleeves.

The way I get around this is by unquoting the quoted text (clicking on the quote button again with the quote box highlighted) typing underneath and then posting.

After posting I go back in and put the quote box back.

It's a bit of a pain but it works for me.

What a crazy idea... Could general grievous be like Robo caine from Robocop two?

4 hands, slight human remains, claws in feet, and damn retro look!

LOL:

A reflective metal Grievous could be great.

RCB am I right in thinking that English isn't your first language as I often find it difficult to understand what you are posting?

As for crushed Speeders do you mean something like this?

I wonder if Pruneface was originally an early attempt to make a mask to match the original Palpatine hologram from ESB.

He has the brow and the eyes, the lips are right out though.

The Lucas gang seem to like to re-cycle stuff and if they already had a mould made they might have re-used it to make these guys.

In the lone sabreman on the glassy knoll version it would add to Anakin Vader's contempt of Mace after such a treasonous attack on the Chancellor if he referered to him simply as "Windu" when he is explaining the Jedi Rebellion to Padme.

He can't even bear to refer to him as Master anymore.

The wonky one at the bottom looks kind of interesting (hopefully by mistake).

It looks like some kind of Sam Peckinpah space opera (either that or a blackmail note from a Star Wars geek).

It could become more wonky and coloured in for a Saul Bass style title sequence.

Sure is but I've posted it three times now (or rather variations of it) so to go in a fourth time would be kind of rude.

I'll trust in the power of the back page button and if I don't get an answer now it's because the guy is busy, not well (and I hope you are better soon Ady) or just doesn't want to answer.

I'm not the centre of anyone's universe, thank Zod ;-)

I love Ady's work but I'm not getting a ANH:R tattoo or filling my Epson with tattoo ink LOL.

I suppose I could open a parlour for people with very flat arms.

Bingowings,

We get our epson ink carts refilled at a little place between the post office and a taco joint.  It's like 5 bucks per cart.

 

If you're not in Denver, (or don't know where the taco joint is) you may want to look around to see if there are any fly by night places around you.

Falkirk is a little far away from Denver sadly we do however have a place that does tacos, but the only things near it are numerous kilt shops and tattoo parlours.

The world is big enough for many different edits.

That's part of the fun of coming here.

Now we all know that in ROTJ:R Leia and Luke will still brother and sister but that doesn't stop people from making other edits or from posting ideas how to do them on the ESB/ROTJ Wishlist Thread.

Will we get any further foreshadowing (other than what is already in the film) in this edit Ady (perhaps in the nature I described a while back)?

Any thoughts on my Leia "Star Destroyer" dialogue point?

>:D

I think I have to agree with sluggo, that line has always been the thing that bugs me about the film the most.  The line is delivered in such an odd way.  I'm just not sure what could be done about it.

 

It would be interesting if Leia could sense what it was before she saw it , like Ben does with the TIE Fighter in ANH, it would go someway to adding more cred to her latent Force abilities (stopping her pointing would help, as would having her deliver the line before the Executor comes into view) her picking up Luke could be down to him being a strong sender rather than her own telepathic potential but if she did this it could create a mystery to be picked up by the next episode.

There is a difference between using models (CGI or physical) to accomplish shots which can not be done with sets and costumes and just doing it because you can.

The Cloud City and Death Star corridors look more realistic than most of those in the Jedi Temple because they are actually there and lit by real light (all be it stage directed which is an art in itself). The director can chose to move the actor from one side to another based on what they can see through the lens.

With a virtual set you have to distort the surroundings to fit in with the few real world elements you have which may save money but doesn't look natural (even in a fantastic universe sense).

At least a physical model is a real object which is hit by real light.

CGI is getting better (already many of the TPM effects look more dated than the ROTS ones and SE often stick out like a sore thumb) but the difference is still noticable.

Yay another victory!

Where have you been, this house is a mess lol

Just curious, because I forgot, what programs/hardware do you need to burn images onto a disk, I know about the "disk burners" but I'm confused. I really want adys disk art!

For burning images onto a disc, you need a LightScribe drive, or something like it.  Its a special disc burner that burns the data on normal or special discs, then you can flip over the special disc and burn a B&W image on the other side.  Most people around here just print out an image on an Avery label or whatever and stick it on there.  Being paranoid, I heard that the stickers can mess up the data over time, so I didn't even write on my DVD-9s of ANHR!

I always use printable discs and my Epson printer will print directly on the disc in photo quality

I forgot about those.  Never used one.  Sounds awesome though!

Mine does that too (it has a special drawer to protect the disc) but the Ink carts are really difficult to get and cost a fortune and they are chipped so you can't use generic carts or send them off to be refilled, nice of of them to reward people for buying their expensive hardware.

This is a job for Superguitarfan!
