Well then. Weird that I’ve never noticed it before. Oh well thanks for the response Harmy.
Okay, this probably isn’t a problem and most likely just recreating an original abnormality, but it just stood out to me and I thought I’d bring it up.
In ROTJ 2.5, at the pandown from the crawl, the Death Star does this weird diagonal parallax thing and settles into position. Is this an original abnormality from the film? I only ask because I have accidentally done this kind of thing in After Effects projects before.
Like I said, with all the people who reviewed this prior to being released, I doubt it is a mistake, but I just thought I’d bring it up if for no other reason than to maybe find out why it’s doing that? It’s such a strange motion for it to make that doesn’t match the camera movement.
Finally finished downloading 😃
Seeding.
The worst part is how so many people see no problem with it. Mentality seems to be “Well it’s just the logo. It’s not actually part of the movie.”
Amazing DrDre as always. I love the potential of how this can be utilized in restoration projects.
Man, I wish I had a spleen.
You should see a doctor. Though I hear there’s a long waiting list.
Only at 40% on the spleen =.=
I’ll seed overnight when I have it though.
i have no way at all to download or copy these. i would gladly donate anything for the star wars theatrical cuts, fright night 2 and night of the living dead 1990 on blu ray. if anyone can help me i would be forever grateful. im new to this site and saw it on jeremy jahns youtube channel. any help at all would be great. im just a fan who wants nothing more than to help preserve these and have them also. where would i leave suggestions for preservations.
Wrong forum, wrong thread, wrong way to ask, do some research, bye.
In a way, it’s kind of the same idea of an athlete that turns to steroids.
In The Force Awakens, we don’t want Kylo to seem like a cold blooded killer, so have Han shoot at him, Kylo dodges it in a neckbreaking motion, then stabs Han.
Hey I’m new to the whole fanedit thing and am real interested in watching these edits, they sound great! Can you help walk me through it? Thanks
Take note new members. This is how you ask for help obtaining projects.
Thank you, Harmy! I just learned of these recently, and I look forward to seeing this one.
Now, for the new-guy-stupid-question time, will this be available as NTSC DVD5?
Eventually someone will probably make a DVD5 version, but it won’t come from Harmy himself. I don’t think he had any hand in the DVD5 versions in the past?
Harmy has stated in the past when I asked that if somebody can supply him with good quality audio, he would be willing to do it. It’s been a while since he said that though so maybe his mind has changed.
If slow and steady wins the race then bet on my computer at the track.
Starting my download from Myspleen 😃 can’t wait to see, Harmy! Thanks for all that you do
Anybody uploading to the spleen yet?
My idea for Anakin is that he simply pushed himself too hard. He’s the kind of person that constantly wants to be better. He always feels like he could have brought down just a couple more bad guys, saved just a few more people, pushed his own boundaries just a little farther. No accomplishment feels good enough for him, because he knows deep down he can be better. Of course this is excusable at first and can early on be seen as a positive trait, but as time goes on, his pushing himself slowly becomes a lust for power. It becomes an unhealthy obsession with wanting to be better. It leads him to foresake his friends, his wife, and his own morality in his search for more power, wanting to find what he’s capable of. He feels there is only so far the Jedi teachings can take him, so he seeks out other darker ways of the force.
I think it’s important that maybe Palpatine opens the door for him to turn, but that HE is the one to walk through it. Maybe all Palpatine really has to do is plant the idea in Anakin’s head that perhaps experimenting with the dark side, which the Jedi won’t teach him, can lead him to unlock the potential he is looking for, then Anakin himself makes a conscious decision on his own to seek out a Sith Holocron or something like that. The manipulation of Palpatine should be subtle and as simple as flicking the switch on a bomb that has been ready to blow for some time. It is his own ambition that is his undoing. Rather than being a “tragic” story of somebody doing something bad for a seemingly good reason (“love won’t save you Padme.” Yawn), it is a story of how good intentions can turn into bad intentions. A LOTR style story about how power can corrupt even the most good-hearted people.
Yeah, didn’t mean to come off as so negative. The music and all that is great and it seems like you tightened a few moments up which I like, but it just really took me out of the moment to have Obi-Wan just not react at all. Although part of that could be that I’m just so used to seeing it with “Nooooo!!!”. It wasn’t quite as jarring to me the second time watching it, but I still think he needs to react in a noticeable way for the moment to have impact.
I’m sorry I really don’t mean to be rude but that really doesn’t work (at least for me) at all.
As silly as “Nooooooo!!!” is, at least it’s a reaction. I don’t buy that Obi wan would have next to no reaction just standing there watching his mentor and best friend cut down in front of him, only getting silently, slowly pissed off. Him not really reacting kind of adds to the blandness of his character.
I get what you were going for, but I don’t think it works very well.
You actually make my point! You saw the OT when you had already been immersed in contemporary film making and special effects. You are a product of your generation.
I don’t get that. So you’re saying that it is a huge difference if you watch the PT as an adult and immediatly don’t like it or if you watch it as a kid and first like it but then realize how flawed it is? And this somehow proves that these movies are better than people say they are?
Some of the people that frequent these forums rnage in age from 45-50. They saw the movie in 1977 as young children. At the time, there was nothing else in entertainment even close to SW. Movies were stagnant and rehashed ideas. The cinema experience was droll and nothing too special outside of a good Disney cartoon. So a child in 1977 with his cinema going resume being at most, a spaghetti western, a Disney cartoon or some stale racecar movie had very little to compare to SW. SW blew people away in 77’. But to kids, it transported them to a different place in their imagination, to some, it was life altering. Fast forward 20 years. A child seeing SW for the first time in 1997-2005 already has an exstensive resume in cinematic/TV/media experience e.g. “Jurassic Park”, “ET”, “Harry Potter” etc. So SW isnt going to have the affect that it did in 77’ on a child who experiences it 20-30 years later. The times were so different that they cant be compared. Now, in the present, as adults, its much tougher to impress us. Like you said, we see the flaws, we critique every little nuance. We expect the new movies to move us like they did when we were kids and they dont quite measure up. Since thats the case and we cant return to the innocence of childhood, we have to do our best to channel our inner child and be as objective as possible when viewing the PT. The PT will never match the OT’s affect it had on me as a kid. But I sure try and imagine how I wouldve received it had I seen it as a 7-13 yr old. Im not saying that theyre better than folks say they are. Im saying its tough to be objective when viewing them. We have so many great movies of the genre since the release of the OT to compare the PT to, that its really tough for PT to measure up. The OT had no competition, nothing to compare it to. It was the litmus test for everything to come. I agree with you and others, the PT fell short in more ways than I can count. But I choose to overlook those short comings and look at it as I might of as a child. I go back to a time when I was 9 or 10 and recall how after hearing Obi-Wan tell Luke of the clone wars and how I imagined that it mighve looked. Then I look at AOTC from that that mindset and I get a bit more enjoyment out of it. Thats all Im saying. Despite the PT being a let down, I try and view it as I might have when i was a kid, a kid from 1977 who was blown away by SW. A kid who had no other referance material to draw from. Can you say that your experience was devoid of other comparable material that might have detracted from you first experience of SW?
Well let me be the voice of someone who WAS around 7-13 when the PT was coming out. I have to say I loved it as a kid. When you’re that age you didn’t see it as “the prequels” and “the original trilogy” we just saw it as Star Wars. It was all Star Wars. From 1 to 6. (That being said, I did tend to prefer the original trilogy at the time. Specifically return of the Jedi)
There are 2 kinds of childhood movies:
the ones that stay with you and only become stronger as you get older. The ones with a certain charm to them. The “kids movies” that don’t pander to children, talk down to them and dumb things down. The movies that remain good in your mind are the ones that treated you like you were strong and intelligent at a time where nobody meaningful saw you as anything but weak and stupid. The original trilogy (well, apart from Jedi at times) were these kinds of movies. They still bring enjoyment to you as an adult because they aren’t “kids movies”. They are “kid friendly movies”. And I think the distinction is important.
Then there are the movies that DO pander to the children watching. They talk down to them. Things are put in the films not because they serve the story but because “the kids will like it. They’ll want the toy”. These were the prequels. An attempt was made to put adult enjoyment in there by having politics and the like. But these are the reasons these movies haven’t stayed with us. As we grow older we see past the BS. We start to NOTICE that those making the movie didn’t put in an effort like it mattered. It was the standard “is that good enough? Who cares it’s a kids movie!” Human beings are very good at detecting BS like that.
When I was a kid, it was ALL Star Wars and I along with all my friends liked it all. Now, we all can’t stand the prequels. We grew up and the good, intelligent films that made us feel warm and important stuck with us, while the badly written, flashy, dumbed down, toy selling movies that talked down to us have not.
Frink, if you ever post like that I’ll disown you.
Ok well I’ll see you all later…
Much later.
No. The myspleen mods probably took it down. They don’t allow just about anything Disney on there for fear of the mouse bringing the wrath of their lawyers down upon them.
Completely depends on the size of the case you decide to use. More specifically the width of the spine.
The Phantom Menace Despecialized?
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think he learned at some point in between the trilogies. :p I will admit that’s the one thing I can’t quite figure out with this idea.
Well I haven’t exactly planned out all the motivations and everything with Anakin. It was just an idea I’ve been sitting on for a while for how to solve the problem of preserving the reveals while not letting the audience feel like they’re missing information. It would have to be something of Anakin becoming weary of his own identity and finding solace and power in taking up the identity of somebody else. Maybe it all comes down to simply the Emperer’s manipulation of him.
Well the idea of official apprenticeships is certainly not a make or break thing for this to work well. Maybe Darth’s motivation for joining the dark side isn’t disappointment in the Jedi order itself, but a more personal disappointment specifically in Obi-Wan as a teacher. A line could be thrown in about how “I expected so much more from the protege of the great Yoda, but you’re just so weak.”
