Speaking of covers, on the rear of the Empire Strikes Back, disc 2 track 13 should probably be titled "LOSING A HAND". 

I already mentioned it, and ABC fixed it :-)
There was a zip with fixed covers in the PM with the updated ROTJ score, if you didn't get it, PM ABC.

And, on the rear of the Return of the Jedi, the number for disc 1 track 13 isn't colored blue like the rest of them.  Just some minor glitches that might be worth fixing for next time.

you're right, I missed that one!

actually all of the holograms in the OT are colour.

Will you be adding some colour to the emperor's hologram then?

So it could be like:

Obi: my clones turned on me...

Bail: we're sending you our coordinates...

-wipe to dagobah with Obiwan landing and continue with scene on board the tantive

-continue movie as is until we leave mustafar

-no asteroid planet thingy. instead yoda and bail are back at dagobah hiding and waiting for obiwan

Bail: we'll take her to the medical station...

-medical station is now on board the tantive...which is on dagobah

Hmm?

Sounds good to me!

I agree with focuspuller, I'm not a big fan of this "donate and get a clip" scheme either. Due to you advertising the fact that donors'd get a clip, no matter how you look at it, "donating" automatically becomes "buying".

I'm fine with you giving a "thank you" clip to donors, but you really shouldn't advertise that, nor even confirm it. Relying on word of mouth would've been a more correct thing to do.

Again, I don't mind you asking for donations (I've donated before), it's just that you should be more carefull how you ask for them. We're in a legally grey enough area as it is.

Sounds great ABC!

btw: while adding tags to the flac files I noticed a few errors on the covers, any chance you can fix these as well some time? :-)

ANH:
the colour issue on the front cover I mentioned before
track 116: "Burning Homstead" -> homestead
track 120: "Millenium Falcon" -> millennium
"Compilded and remastered" -> "compiled"

ESB:
track 213: "loosing a hand" -> losing
"Compilded and remastered" -> "compiled"

ROTJ:
track 202:"Father an Son" -> "and"
"National Philarmonic Orchestra" -> "Philharmonic"
"Compilded and remastered" -> "compiled"

They're really nice covers, I feel like it'd be a shame to print them with these errors :-)

I Like the clip. Anakin dont be an ass as usual.

I didnt like the last part of the extra scenes that can explained by the later dialogue.

Keep it up.

-Angel

Thank you Angel. Are you referring to the Jedi-and-security-searching-the-building-scene? Yeah...just an idea...hoping it might build a little tension...

I have to disagree with Angel here, I really liked what you did there.

I was thinking about the idea of more senators being killed and a bomb going off in a senate meeting and I had an idea for a scene...

Palpatine: "May I remind the...blah blah...peace is our objective here. Not war."

-bomb goes off in the building blowing up a pod (or two) and killing the senators

-hologram appears (as if the security has been hijacked) of Dooku's face

Dooku: "The republic cannot be fixed. It is time to start over."

-reactions from the senate

-close up of Palps

-wipe to Palps office "I will not let this republic be split in two."

Something like that...what do you think?

:o

make

it

happen

Here's Angels' mock up again:

I hope something like this can be pulled off in motion, Vader really needs to be "uglier"

do not pay attention to Angel, we want a new pic every hour

Infidels must die! :D

"you don't want a pic every hour"

 

-Angel

Come on kids, play nice, let's compromise: a new pic every day :D

And WOW, great work on those clouds Adywan!

teharri said:

I know I am jumping the gun here, but for next weeks picture can we get a duel pic?

Fuck that, there's already 2 on the first page, I want to see the new Emperor again! :P

Amazing job there ben_danger!

I really like the silence and new crowd noices + drums. But during the kiss there should be a some music (not much), just to give it that little extra.

I'm usually not a fan of adding more connections between the PT and OT because it makes the universe look so tiny, but here it really works! It actually improves Jaba's character.

However, why does he -instead of the Geonosian leader- get to start the games?

vaderios said:

What for? Does the revisited sage needs a render farm for the 3d stuff?

I mean, I know that ady is against of the CGI.

He mentioned he wanted a few CG shots a few pages back. I remember the rendering of the new CG Tie reveal shot for ANH:R took a month... I figured a renderfarm would speed that up considerably   :-)

Didn't some guy called mojo-something who worked on the Battlestar Galactica CG shots offer to help out last year? I think he mentioned he had access to a render farm.

It might be worth contacting him?

Matticon said:

Anyways, Has Ady mentioned what he is doing with the incestuous kiss between Luke and Leia? Lucas would never have written this if Leia was always supposed to be Luke's sister.

Not this again... it's JUST A KISS

There's nothing "incestuous" about a kiss, unless you equal kissing to having sex...

Ady will be keeping it (as far as I remember anyway)

About that, is it possible you somehow forgot to select the entire ANH poster during colourcorrecting? The bottom part of the left poster in "ANHcovers 2cd.jpg" looks a lot more saturated than the rest :-)

The blues are quite difficult to deal with sometimes. Indeed the dark blues may have a bit more saturation. It 's not a matter of selected parts btw: I choosed to desaturate or change the most the hot colours. Note that I didn' t try to recover the original colours... How could I ? I don't have an old pristine print has a guide.

No no, I mean there's actually a ~200px high bar at the bottom that has completely different colour:

... So, what about your thoughts on the scores ? You' re so silent about it my dear DarthBo! :)

Haha, well I haven't really had the time to download them all! You know I loved your ROTJ set (has it changed since the APE links you gave me btw?) I only just downloaded your ANH set and hope to listen to it soon :-)

it's nice to see the mockups, but personally, I'd leave it the way it was.

Burdokva said:

the player I'm using shows all tracks as "unknown". Once I have home audio I'll test it again, but can anyone please check if there's problems with PC's reading the audio file desriptions (author, track title/number and so on).

That's because they're not tagged, you'll have to do that yourself :-)

EDIT

ABC said:

Yep. To notice there was a lot of colour corrections done on the ESB and RotJ posters, and a little on ANH.

About that, is it possible you somehow forgot to select the entire ANH poster during colourcorrecting? The bottom part of the left poster in "ANHcovers 2cd.jpg" looks a lot more saturated than the rest :-)

Why not go for a 1.2GB x264 with 5.1 audio?

I don't think anyone still burns these on CDs, so the 700MB rule is pointless.

I don't like this idea of having Vader leak the plans to Boba Fett -> the Rebels.

a) Boba Fett shouldn't be in ROTJ

b) and why would you spoil the "it's a trap" plotline so soon?!

That would totally ruin Palpatine's lines because we'd already know he set it all up...

Bingowings said:

Here's my stab at a new crawl for TPM (it needs to be spaced better because the .... is floating on it's own) :

Wow, combine this with what TheoOdo said before, and you get the TPM I was hoping for.

Good job!

I liked them, but the often too obvious music cuts did bother me a bit.

Another thing that jumped out to me in Twilight: when Zam dies she mentions Kamino, so Obi-Wan knows the name of system he's looking for without having to visit Dex or the Analysis Droids. However, when looking for this system no-one's ever heard of and he fails to find it... he somehow magically knows where it's supposed to be?

It felt very odd to me. Cutting what's left of the "someone removed Kamino from the archives" subplot should fix that.

...

wow

I'm not a fan of those typical American endings where everyone survives and hugs. It's too simple!

I'm all for an ending with more drama.

As far as the EU goes... isn't it already contradictory?

Who nows?

Does it matter?

ROTS:revisited is probably another 10 years away...

The only other thing I'd say is that you have a little music bleed-through from the original track which (as I've found) is unavoidable unless you scrap the soundtrack completely and create your own soundtrack with your own effects from the bottom-up.

I thought I had isolated the music bleed. That's odd, are you sure it's not just the music I put in? If you could tell me at which point I can try and isolate it some more.

I noticed it as well, it's very obvious at 1:52-54

I really like the new music, keep it up!

He meant in case they don't RELEASE it -_-

Redubbing will look fake.

it always does.

Dubbing Ewan to sound more like Alec is a bit to radical a change for me ;-)
