Harry Potter Special Extended Editions (a WIP)
Time

Work on the is on hold while I work on other projects higher on my priority list, but I haven’t given up on it yet. I plan to get back into it after other things are finished. I occasionally do some work on it during periods where I can’t work on my other projects.

Certainly shoot whatever you have my way 😃 can’t say when I’ll be able to put it into use though.

Ouch. Yeah. Like I said it’s up to you, but that price is insane. Especially when you factor in the scanning expenses. To put it in perspective though, BATB only cost us a fraction of that. Though with SW you’d probably be getting something in really great condition for that money - important if you want to watch it on film, probably less important if you’re going to scan it.

Worth noting that BATB is a considerably newer film than SW and as such there is probably a larger quantity of better quality prints out there. Supply and demand, you know?

Childhood Misconceptions (aka The Trap Thread, but misconceptions still welcome)
Time

More of a misunderstanding than a misconception, but I used to think “There is another” referred to Darth Vader, because he ultimately is the one who defeats the emperor and I thought Yoda had the foresight to see this. Mind you I was very young at the time and the only prequel that had yet been released was TPM. Looking back, my misunderstanding sounds like something GL would ret-con into being “his original intention” nowadays.

Harmy's Despecialized Star Wars 1977 - Color Adjustment Project for v2.7 (released)
Time

Well, in working on the saber shot I did notice a problem with the SSE. For one frame there is a little misplaced saber glow blurb spot that appears to the right of Ben as he’s handing the saber to Luke which is present in every home video release of the OOT. In the SSE, it isn’t there. I assume it was accidentally scrubbed out by their cleanup process. It saw something looked different than a frame before and a frame after, so it interpreted it as dirt and scrubbed it out. There is still evidence of it being there originally though, as even though it got rid of most of it, there is a subtle blue halo that remains in that spot on the frame.

It just makes me wonder if there are any other details like that which the SSE inadvertently got rid of.

Blu-Ray and other HD box size STAR WARS covers
Time

My first real attempt at cover art. Not entirely sure if I got the size right on the spine and there are probably some other issues too.

TFA Blu Ray in the style of 1995 “Faces” VHS tapes.


(Horrible Low Quality) Mock Up

EDIT: Had to fix a typo, added Blu Ray logo and found higher quality Disney logo.

Looks pretty good. Only problems I have with it are the TFA logo on the spine is pretty obviously smushed. I would suggest editing it so either the whole thing is smaller, or so “The Force” fills up the spine height and “Awakens” is moved next to it as opposed to under it.

You know something? You may be right. Perhaps I can draw out a loan at the bank and get the SW print, then get someone to scan it on my behalf. How much is that one, by the way?

Been on this forum too long. When I see “SW” I immediately think “Star Wars”. I started looking through the list to see if I missed a Star Wars print posted. Took me entirely too long to realize you meant Snow White.

Star Wars Episode I-III : The Rule of Two (Tokyotaitai Fan Edit)
Time

If I remove Anakin’s confession to killing the Sand People, do I also remove all mention of the massacre? Seems like it was an important turning point for Anakin after Shmi’s death. I felt that without his confession, he would show no remorse as he was not conflicted enough about his actions. Any thoughts? Or just have him arrive in Tatooine to find Shmi’s grave?

I like what Hal9000 did. He kept the massacre, removed the confession, but kept Palpatine’s “remember what you told me about your mother and the sand people”. To make it so it’s something that he never confided in padme about, but did confide in palpatine, which he then uses to help seduce him to the dark side.
