If you want to post about ANH after Ady perhaps posting in the ANH after Ady thread would make more sense this is specifically a ESB and ROTJ wishlist (with a bit of wiggle room) and that thread does serve that purpose (we have seperate crosses for the Welsh).
vaderios said:Janskeet said:Ripplin said:Janskeet, you really need to learn about editing and make your own version. I don't know if it could still be called Star Wars, though! ;)
Would it be legal for me to sell my edit if I change the name of the title, the characters, spaceships, and everything else that identifies it as Star Wars?
I could sell my soul to see that...
Oh wait....
There is already out it called SPACEBALLS!
-Angel
Spaceballs only got made after Brookes got Lucas's blessing (presumably in the form of greenbacks).
Palpatine : One day all this will be yours, my young apprentice
Luke : What the curtains?
Vader: He just killed my Aunty.
Luke : I just want to sing...to sing...to sing....
We're Knights of the Jedi Temple,
We smell a bit like menthol,
We jump in the air and braid our hair
And sometimes don a wimple
We dress well here on Coruscant,
We wear brown gowns, cowls and yoga pants.
We're Knights of the Jedi Temple,
Our backflips are for-mid-able,
We play ball games and are given names
Quite unpronounc-e-able.
We're swingball mad on Coruscant,
We never cheat we’re impeccant
In speach cryptic and artful,
Quite incomprehensi-a-ble,
Between our quests in Gundark nests,
We dance like Shirley Temple.
It's a chaste life here on Coruscant,
I have to find a swamp to haunt.
One of the things the hurt The Undiscovered Country was the replacement of Saavik with Valeris and all the goofball humour that came with that change.
The look on the engineering hand's face as the top graduating officer manages to get the ship out of space dock is very silly.
She's top of the class but can't steer?
Having Saavik as the turn coat would have been much more dramatic and like Kirk she had good reasons for not trusting the Klingons.
It would have made the mind rape scene between her and Spock more unpleasent too (especially if she did have a child explaining her stay on Vulcan in The Voyage Home).
Perhaps you should contact the guy who's model you sent on and get him to put a claim in for a model he never received.
If they try to dismiss it by saying you sent on the model that's prove that it wasn't kit you are looking for.
The energy barrier is much like the one the Enterprise passed through when being thrown out of the galaxy in Is There in Truth No Beauty?.
Reference to the game trailer is fine if it inspires radical prequel redux ideas but perhaps it would be better if game reviews and the like should be moved over to the other boards.
What could be taken from these games and put into the films to change them for the better?
I read that the podracing seen on the screens in the bar in AOTC was from the podracing game so there may be lots of ways of using game footage and ideas in these films.
Change a word in the title above.
Sorry to ask again but is there anywhere any footage or photographs the unblocked back of the Trade Federation battleships?
I know there weren't that many physical models made but it's almost impossible to find any source material.
Composing new shots with that ship in will be very difficult with the limited number of angles and unblocked shots seen in the films.
I'm not even sure if there were any good model kits made (so it would be upto scratch builders to provide the necessary...probably).

Oh and Ady, don't try and assemble the Falcon when you're this angry, or it might end up in even more pieces :p
no, i won't be assembling it just yet. i still need to work out the internal lighting rig and where to put the battery access point.
Ady instead of a clip of the edit every thursday how bout a shot of the model build? I would love to see this thing being worked on
& for the record I insure EVERYTHING I post, you think royal mail is bad you should try "An post" here in Ireland Sheeesh!!
just be glad Britain has a decent health service!!!!
Reports of the decency of our former National Health Service have been greatly exaggerated, I could tell you stories from that arena that would make Ady's postal calamities seem trivial in the extreme.
I'm glad that Ady posted the wee Falcon on, I've lost many items in the post myself so I'd be over the moon if someone took the trouble to do this for me.
vbangle said:Why in the name of all that's sane are you guys still talking to Janskeet and taking the time to answer his ridiculous questions? Stop feeding the troll please.
I don't know, it could be like Jodie Foster in Contact staring at static on the television and listening to the spin cycle of washing machines to atune her senses to making contact with intelligent life.
So many post are based on the intelligent, thoughtful meditations on these films that after a while it's possible to hit thinkers block.
But when you have someone like Janskeet wofting his brain farts around one of them might just be the grit from which a beautiful pearl of an idea might grow.
He may, in his quest for random, chuck in something accidently brilliant (or that can be built into something remarkable).
As long as he isn't hurtfully insulting people or doing anything against the rules I can't see him doing any harm.
Just in case the chappy or chapette who uploaded these as trnts onto a popular site is lurking around here Episode II is in fact Episode III duplicated and mislabeled.
Slim chance that said person is wandering around here but one never can tell.
For me the music cues from the Resident Evil games are the most evocative.
I spent many an hour wandering around those corridors and getting that dread feeling as I opened a door (never has a level loading screen been used to such great effect) so I now have a Pavlovian response when I hear sound files of music.
My ear is also very atuned to the stock sound effects they used and I can spot them in television, radio and film dramas all over the place.
I suppose that the Star Wars Galaxy would hit a technological plateau where there wouldn't be that much of a change for thousands of years.
Technology has been rapidly advancing for us since the Industrial Revolution but before that it stayed pretty much the same for a very long time.
If we reached a point where all things that were practicle for us to use were discovered (or discovered to be impossible to build) we might settle back until our circumstances changed when we found new problems to solve.
I would dearly love to replace some of the more silly podracer pilots with genuinely alien aliens, some of them look like they had escaped from the Munch Bunch or Mr Men universe.
The Stig would make more sense than that lot ;-)
This chap has got to go :

So we can have a little brainstorm here. Correct me if im wrong ofc.
We see the first visible establisting shot of the battle fielf in the first image.
Its a clear weather if we assume that the day passed a bit from the morning when the troopers first see the AT-ATs in the fog.
Also i know ady may take care already that just now with Serji-X's help we can have a more complete view of the field
-Angel
I haven't exactly got a photographic memory but the view outside Luke's window looks suspiciously similar to the one outside the window of the speeder that finds him after Wampa night.
Could they have used the same aerial footage?
If so could it be isolated and retinkered with to put the mountains behind the model side view?
My thoughts on Star Trek V....half of it (maybe more than half) is simply brilliant and really evokes the feeling of the original series and the ship feels like a ship for the first time since TMP.
All the early stuff with Laurence Luckinbill is great (some nice nods to Luckinbill Of Arabia).
The humour is a little forced at times (as if they were told to put it in because the gags in The Voyage Home were a big hit) but most of the time it's pretty much on the level of the original series.
The effects aren't that special however and as soon as they get to Sha Ka Ree it becomes clear they ran out of time and money to finish the film.
On the whole it's nowhere near as bad as a lot of detractors make out and if Paramount put in the same amount of work they did on TMP put in the rock monsters and the like and edited out some of the slightly forced bits (especially with the Klingons) it might surprise a few people about how solid some of the performances actually are (though it is the only film I can think of which might actually be better without David Warner, I love the guy but it's certainly not his finest few hours).
The Slowwww Motion Picture is still my favourate Star Trek film.
I know it's cobbled together from bits from OS episodes, I don't care that we have three loooong effects scenes (they are perfectly justified by the story and I have a very long attention span) it's the only Star Trek film that is truly cinematic and worthy of being seen on a big screen.
And it's the only one where the crew actually explore anything.
Hopefully the next Star Trek film will have the new/old crew going out into space and doing a bit of seeking out for a change.

HOLY SHIT! My geek gland just became fully engorged.
That is absolutely beautiful!
Anyone considered redoing the prequels as Machinima?
There is a thread where people suggested starting from scratch with animation :

It looks more like the Prequels I expected to see before 1999, shame it's just a game really.
A few minutes of lovely computer graphics however doesn't guarantee a good story though.
I also suspected that Fett might really be a woman under that helmet and here we see that...sort of.

The work on your site looks mightily impressive, Serji. It's great to see someone with CG skills on the forum!
Prompted by your post Enigmas I took a peep too and oh boy great stuff! (only we don't do Tripods...ever).
I suppose someone else would have to do Dune Revisited then ;-)
omnithx said:Bingowings said:Janskeet said:I think this line should be removed:
Wookies are known to do that? What? Is this like some kind of innate trait that all wookies have? We don't need to be told "wookies are known to do that." It is excessive and sounds like prequel George Lucas dialog. I was hoping to hear this gone in Revisited.
Human's are known to cheat on their spouses, it doesn't mean they all do or that they do it all the time.
The line is very important not only to the film but the saga in general as it underlines that droids are essentially slaves and if they have ideas above their station they can be damaged and destroyed and their organic masters will react in much the same way as if someone pulled the wing mirror off a car or blew up a fridge.
They feel physical discomfort, they are intelligent and have a degree of free will but they are property (time for a revolution golden rod).
I don't think the lines about that at all. To me, it's about Wookiees having short tempers and overreacting to situations. Han is simply reminding the droids of this. Threepio at first misinterprets his response as inconsideration, but then concedes that the point is in fact warranted. Han using the term Wookiee a second time is simply clarifying his point.
I was refering to the importance of the line not it's use in the context of the scene, which is minor (but fun).
You aren't denying the slave status of droids (and Clonetroopers for that matter) in the Star Wars saga, I hope?

Maybe you'd find more grey Force cults emerging (Sidi and Jeth) who get married take care of their parents, don't indoctrinate children, don't seek high office and stay out of politics, acknowledge their passions but don't let them dominate their lives and conscientiously refrain from fighting in wars (basically Force chaplains and mystic medics).
My final word on Jedi and revenge, if the Jedi are beyond such things explain Obi-wan's wrath fueled attack on Darth Maul or Anakin's clearly vengeful charge at Count Dooku?
As I said before a good arguement could be made for the Jedi being above revenge before ROTJ and the PT, afterwards it becomes a position less easy to defend.
John Carpenter's The Thing, Alive and 30 Days Of Night (Darth Solo beat me to it I see) also have some nice snowscapes. I'm not sure how useful they would be to you though.
