Oh wow! I've been after the ISOMIX releases for fecking years. I'll be leeching those tomorrow. Hopefully someone will be seeding Jedi soon.

I downloaded this on Friday and have watched it twice already. Sure, the quality isn't great but it's definitely more than watchable. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. I really cannot wait to see your transfer of Empire...

Too bad Smith lost all credibility when he sold out and made More Jay and Silent Bob and a second Clerks.  Things he said he wouldn't do.

Sorry if someone's already said this in this thread (I stopped reading at this post).

But it wasn't "selling out."  Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was made pretty much as an incentive for Jason Mewes to get off drugs.  It didn't work, and Smith cut contact with Jason, telling him that if he ever really got his shit together and could prove he was honestly 100% clean, he'd make one more Jay and Silent Bob movie for him.

Jason eventually did get clean, and Smith made Clerks II as a reward for him.

(All of this is chronicled in a VERY long series of blog posts by Smith that tell the whole story of his rocky friendship with Jason.  I'd post the link if I still had it.)

I don't see either of those as selling out, myself.  I don't particularly like JaSBSB, but I quite enjoyed Clerks II (nowhere near as good as the first, though).

Thanks for posting this, I was gonna say the same thing. Smith's blog posts were amazing. And the video that Mewes recorded for Kevin to say thanks was incredibly heartfelt.

Anyway, back on topic...

I love Jedi. I saw it one Christmas on TV for the first time, I must have been between the ages of five and seven ('85-'87 - I'm 32 now). I loved it then and love it now. I can see why people don't like it, but that does not, in any way change my opinion of it at all.

It's easily my favourite of the six (or three, if you'd prefer).

He's probably killed himself!

I reposted this on another forum that I'm pretty certain he posts on and he hasn't made any comments on that either.

I didn't go personally, but following on from the thread I started here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/My-visit-to-Star-Wars-Weekend-2010/topic/11724/ my Star Wars Adidas did (courtesy of my friend Amy)  and I added the following signatures to my collection:

Tim Rose

Carrie Fisher

and Warwick Davis

See also Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.

Because of the media backlash he got in the UK after the release of A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick himself pulled its availability and stated that it would never be available for viewing or sale anywhere in the UK (except for the first year (and only for that period) of its release, one cinema in the whole of the UK had the rights to show it). And this is how it was until he fell ill. At which point Warner prepared the DVD release and within a month of his death it was in stores.

Yeah, Amy was remembered by pretty much everyone during the final weekend; Star Wars staff, Disney staff and members of the 501st because she carried the shoes around the previous weekends.

The photographer who took the picture of Billy Dee & Amy was only taking pictures of the rare & cool stuff and even then it was only one or two pictures. She pulls out the shoes and he snapped away like mad and took loads of shots.

Absolutely anything can be signed, but you're limited to one item per person, per signing.

Which reminds me, while I was in line for the Ray Park signing and nearing the front, I pulled out the shoes and the print and heard gasps and bitching all around me. It was either people saying "Holy fuck, look at his shoes." or people saying "What the fuck is he doing? You're only allowed one thing signed.". I think the staff were confused also, until I explained that it was only the print I wanted signing.

I'm pretty certain that it's an exclusive deal between Disney World and Lucas, so this will only be happening in Orlando.

Not sure if this is in the right place, my apologies if not. Anyways...  

During the weekends of May 21-23, May 28-30, June 4-8 & June 11-13, Star Wars was at Walt Disney World in Florida. 

 I had a holiday booked for the final weekend but have a friend who lives there who is Star Wars crazy like me, so she did all the meet & greets for me for the three previous weekends.

I have a pair of Adidas Star Wars Stormtrooper Superstars, which I'd send in advance, in early May, so they could be taken to all the signings.

For the first couple of weekends, there was no one I really wanted a meet with (although, having just checked, Temuera Morrison was there the first weekend - which I didn't know about until now).

So the third weekend:

First up was Ray Park:

Then Jeremy Bulloch:

Next up Stormtroopers TX-352 & TK-422 (from The 501st).

The final signing for the third weekend was Billy Dee Williams:

A picture of Billy Dee signing the shoes (taken by an official starwars.com photographer. It actually ended up on the website - see below):

The Fourth weekend, I was there and met:

Peter Mayhew:

And then Ray Park:

This is me, asking him if he remembered signing my shoes the previous week:

He replied that he did. Then, just as he started signing the print under his hand he said "So Gareth, is your name spelt with one "R" or two?

Not only did he remember signing my Adidas, he actually remembered my name. I was amazed.

He insisted we should take this picture:

This is the print he signed:

Myself and my friend Amy with Ray Park:

Also, the Dancing With The Star Wars Stars videos that you might have seen on Youtube, well I was there for that. It was brilliant. Nothing much tops Jawas dancing to Walk This Way while dressed as Run DMC or watching Boba Fett dance to Lady Gaga. I also shook hand with an Ewok and two members of the Cantina band.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and Ray Park is one of the nicest people you could meet.

The Adidas are still in Orlando, waiting patiently for Celebration V. Hopefully, more signatures can be added. Carrie Fisher & Mark Hamill are both there.

 its on tehparadox.

Yeah, I found it there soon after I made my previous post. I just forgot to edit to say so.

Thanks anyway. :)

Thanks Adywan for these terrific creations, I really can't wait to sit and watch them.

I'm currently downloading Episodes IV & V but can anyone send me Episode I as I'm having a hard time sourcing a download. Money's tight, so please don't tell me to hit the newsgroups. I've already considered that and I really can't afford it.

I'm in the UK if that's any help to anyone.

Also, I can't seem to download some of the art that Coov created for this set. The images I'm having issue with are the covers for AoTC, RoTJ & RoTS.

Thanks in advance.
