When I said insert a pole.... I didn't mean that the way it sounds.... Well, not intentionally anyway ;)

Oh, can you also put Leia in the gold bikini somewhere on Hoth? and in the asteroid field? and on Bespin? and on the medical ship? and during the credits?

Is there any way to go back to ANHR and have her in the gold bikini and showing just exactly what a mind PROBE really does??? Can you somehow insert a pole for her to dance on too?

These ideas would certainly help the story along.

Since someone brought up the horrible explosions of the two TIE fighters in the trench of the asteroid, (which needs replacing totally) I got to thinking about the TIE bombers as they skim the surface. When they drop "bombs", they just go SPLAT and don't affect what they hit at all. I feel no menace from them at all.

Also, the Mynocks.... we all know they look horrible flying around on wire so whatever can be done, for the love of god, do it. But that's not what really bothers me. Its when they scare Leia inside the cockpit. The sound would be better if they actually sounded like they were "outside" the ship instead of inside with her. The levels should be changed and muffled with a slight echo or something.

The dialogue needs a very very slight tweak too.... When Han says he's going closer to one of the "big ones".... This is the dialogue that is written and supposed to be said, even if you turn on closed captioning....

HAN: I'm going IN closer to one of the big ones.

the problem is that he sounds like he's saying a sentence that doesn't make sense, because it actually sounds like he's saying....

HAN: I'm going ANY closer to one of the big ones....

check it out and you'll see what I mean. That shit has annoyed me since I was a kid. And it wouldn't hurt to stop his lips from moving as Leia says, "Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited."

The cave on Dagobah. Now, I don't have any clue what is the limit of your abilities or resources so I'll just say it and you do your thing Ady... The cave needs to be clearer. Its very difficult to figure out that #1: He's in a cave instead of just a dark place in the swamp #2 What this cave looks like. One tiny little bit can be seen of a stone archway but that's about it. I'd just like to get a clearer picture of where and what Luke has gotten himself into.

Oh, I know you can fix the jump shot between the decapitated Vader head and the facemask explosion. That was done okay for the time, but let's update that in the same way you did the lightsaber ignition in ANHR.

I have a thought about the very very beginning of the film with the probe droid as well but this post is getting to long and I'm getting too tired. Essentially, a simple shift of the order of the pod coming into Hoth, landing, being seen by Luke, Luke talking to Han, Luke getting bitch slapped by wampa, Luke being dragged off, THEN we see the probe droid emerge from the crater. Remove the "double" showing of the landing. I have it all worked out but I'm no editor (yet) so if that is something you'd like to see exactly what I mean, I'd gladly put something together for you to review.

And one last thing, if you guys feel like buying a force FX lightsaber then go to Radio Shack. They have the "build your own" lightsabers marked down on clearance to $35 dollars. This past week I've seen them in San Antonio, Las Vegas and Birmingham so its a nationwide thing. Don't know about international guys but I'm in the states so that's all I can say.

PS Was anyone else as disappointed in Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls as I was. What a let down. That was almost as big a let down as The Phantom Menace.

Yeah, to make the static more of an issue, that line about 'moving the fleet so we can send a clear transmission' could be replaced. Dig this:

PIETT: The Emperor commands you make contact with him.

VADER: Ok.

Or in keeping with the PT dialog standards:

PIETT: The Emperor commands you make contact with him.

VADER: Okee-Dokee.

Or how about:

PIETT: The Emperor commands you make contact with him.

VADER: Okalee-Dokalee Neighborino. Let's just scoot on out of the ol' ASSteroid field...Oh my! I mean, let's skedattle out of the floatin' rock piles! I better wash my tongue with sandpaper after that slip up!

Ok. I've been out of town for a few weeks and had a lot to read up on here. So please forgive me for going back just a little. The whole Death Star 2 discussion had me thinking. I had no desire to see it in ESB and figured it would be just another "tinkering" like ol' Uncle George does. The argument about the twenty years it took to build the first one had merit too. I just couldn't see any way to put it in ESB and make it work for the story. Then it dawned on me.... if Lucas can "tinker" with his previous work, then why can't Adywan do the same thing. Here's my vision.....

-It's the end of the battle at Death Star I. Han, Luke and (now) Chewie get their medals. The credits roll.
-At the very end of the credits there is about 7 or 8 seconds of complete silence against a starfield
-Darth Vader's TIE fighter pops in from hyperspace after being knocked out of the trench
-The camera pans with the ship as it flys by to reveal his destination...
-Behold a skeletal Death Star 2
-Slow fade to black.
-20 to 25 seconds from start to finish

This works completely because you know its going to come into play at some point and are left to wonder throughout ESB when it will. Its a "phantom menace" so to speak. When it doesn't play any role in ESB you then KNOW it will be very important in the last film. It's the cliffhanger that the original movie lacks because of its history back in 1977 as possibly being the only film that would ever be produced.

The original screenplays had multiple Death Stars in ROTJ so this isn't outside the realm of keeping with the original feel of the original trilogy.

This would be a huge reveal if you watch all 6 films in order because we've been introduced to the plans for a Death Star in AOTC, then we see the plans put into action in ROTS, then we see the final result in ANH. We are led to believe by the end of ANH that the threat was finally dealt with by our triumphant heroes. Little do we the viewer know that the 3 films (II, III, IV) we just watched, were leading us down a primrose path in regards to the Death Star. For 3 films we thought that there is only one killer space station yet lo' and behold, there is another in the works, but you have two wait two more films to find out more about it.

This is one of those ideas that I would kill to have the skills to pull it off myself. Since I do not, I leave the suggestion and ask for feedback. I know Ady doesn't particularly want to go back to ANHR but this seems to be a very logical (and enjoyable) answer to whether or not to reveal DSII before ROTJ.

I'd love feedback from you guys and Adywan too, even if its just your opinion on the idea itself. YES, I'm aware that this is ESBR, but this all ties in together doesn't it?

Thanks, and May The Schwartz Be With You

Okay, people.... Seriously, did we all forget what this thread was for? April Fool's Day was fun and all but let's keep our eye on the ball here. If Adywan is going to take the time to do this for US then we can at least watch the film and jot down really GOOD ideas for him to consider....not just a wish list. Don't get me wrong, I love talking about Lando's dick and his little maneuver, but unless Adywan plan's on putting porn music in his edit, I don't think that belongs here. Part of my fandom includes the waiting game with Star Wars. I love to wait on something because it gives me something to look forward to. I was pretty bummed after ROTS because I thought I'd have to finally stop after all these years. Well, with the two new series and Adywan's edits, I have more to look forward to than ever before. I really didn't care too much about his edit until I actually saw what he had done. After that, I was stoked for TESB. This is the only time I might have to influence this edit and I've been compiling a list that is both well thought out and helpful. I'm going to put it up here in short time, but until then, I'd hope you other geeks like myself would take the effort to deluge Adywan with thoughts and suggestions. If I had the ability, I'd take over the reigns and do it myself because I understand the singular love he must have to undertake such a task. A lot of you are like myself I'm sure, in your 30's, with a family and career and tons of shit piled on your plate. But don't think that Adywan isn't in that same boat. If he loves it enough to do this for your fandom, at least take the time to help him out and give hime suggestions. The least obvious would probably be more helpful. Again, thanks dude for all that you do.

I don't know about everyone else, but I was actually kinda sad to hear that the ewoks in ESB were just a joke... think of all the great places they could have been featured:

- you could have an ewok pop out when Han slices open the tauntaun's stomach

- a couple ewoks could trip up an AT-AT with a vine... wait, there are no vines on Hoth... ok, they down it with a well placed snowball then...

- instead of Vader, Luke confronts a lightsaber-weilding ewok in the cave on Dagobah... although when its face explodes, I guess you'd just see a midget's severed head in there...

- ewoks could be overpopulating Cloud City, like tribbles from the original Star Trek... they could be getting into everything... one could even get frozen around Han's knees in the carbon freezing chamber

- when Luke is hanging off that vane from the bottom of Cloud City at the end, an ewok could be dangling there already... having a smoke maybe. Luke could bum one off him... it'd give him something to do till Lando got there

As you can see, the possibilities are limitless. Please, Ady, reconsider the ewoks!

Okay. I've had tons of April Fool's jokes played on me over the years. My car was "stolen", My girlfriend "slept" with my best friend, I was "fired" from my job. My love and anticipation of the Empire Revisited has gotten me looking forward to Star Wars in a way I haven't had since 1996 thru 1999. This is really the worst joke played on me yet. I literally felt my heart sink into my stomach. I only wish I had the skills with editing and effects that Ady has because I, like so many on here, have always wanted to "fix" certain things in Star Wars. Not to be a graffiti artist on someone else's work but to perfect the neglected aspects of the films. When I read that post, I had forgotten totally what day it was and it really was an awful feeling. I've never posted because like someone else said earlier, I'm like a professional lurker on here. I've been reading these boards for forever and this is my first post.

Ady, first of all, thanks from the bottom of this closet geek's heart for what you do. I don't know if you realize how important you've become to Star Wars fandom. To me, you truly "get" Star Wars in a way that us old timers (I'm 32) appreciate. I'd pay you to keep going if that's what it truly took. I have a singular love for the OT because of the special place it holds in my otherwise craptacular childhood. I "daydream edit" these movies all the time and have for years,and when I saw your finished product it was so close to what I wanted that the daydreams have stopped almost completely for ANH and has moved into high gear for Empire.

Secondly, let me tell you that today, and only today, you are one evil darkside SOB for this joke. Do you realize that not all of us have Vader's life preservation suit on and might actually have a stroke when we read that you've decided to cancel???? I found a brick in my shorts when I read that!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr baby.... grrrrrrrrrr

My son Lucas (yes I named him Lucas) and I love your work and love the fact the we have something to look forward to again. Thanks again, and I guess I am the one ol' Obi-wan was referring to, "Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows it?" Or did he say ....follows HIM? That never made sense to say IT to me. Ah well, I digress.... Happy April Fool's Day.
