Not exactly sure when the episode number became the focal point of the entire title. Has any other series ever done that? I am going to go out on a limb here and say the answer is no.

Well, discounting Star Trek 1-6...what about Leonard Part 6?...or maybe Hot Shot: Part Deux?...Kill Bill: Volume 1 & Volume 2?

;)

Those are just a few that popped into mind.

Davnes007 the corvette sticking it to the man was great...

Thanx :)

I'm sorry those who love it but the Sail barge explosion (in fact most of the model work on that sequence) is one of the things I hate the most about Jedi.

The full sized set they built was beautiful but the models just look like models (the OUT Sandcrawler model was more convincing to me) and the explosion was just awful with no weight or sense of scale at all.

Umm...but, didn't they actually blow-up the actual set/barge...it wasn't a model (correct me if I'm wrong).

"I am your baby's daddy!"

Have fun with this

LOL...Someone needs to learn how to spell (look at red circle)

So...how do you light someone 'evely' anyway?

I was thinking about the Sail Barge explosion and how it could be made to look more like a maritme disaster.

Here's the bang we know so well :

...

But it might look more Titanic if the loss of power and the force of the explosion made it tip up into the pit (a bit like a sinking ship):

...

I tried to do a mock up of it snapping in half but I can't find enough photographic material to pull it off.

...

I threw together something that you might like...I think

After Effects would have been better to use, but I'm still a beginner with that.

I was trying to evoke this famous painting of the Titanic :

and mix it with the snapping in half we now know that happened.

To get it to work would require more model shots (the barge seems to be the least photographed model in the Star Wars universe screengrabs aren't much help and the physical set (which was beautiful is always photographed cluttered up by other people, models and the like).

It needs to tip back into the pit (with a nice groaning noise) with the nose pointing up and then snap in the middle and then explode.

It would be nice to see it fall from a different angle (like the truck flip in The Dark Knight).

I don't think it's doable with stills despite Davnes' always watchable efforts.

I agree that it looks...'odd'. As far as the 'nose pointing up...' goes, the Barge would need to actually dig down into the sand for the rest to tip up, which would look...'odd'. 

You didn't even comment about the 'bonus' footage at the end of the video ;)

[I] think it would be cool to do something like when [in ROTS] the republic cruiser comes [alongside] of grevious' ship, they start firing...and shoot the crap out of each other.
[In] the novel, it talks about blockade runners, [when] after [their] engines are gone, making suicide runs into the stardestroyers!

hey davnes, did u look on my posts about the comaprisons between ROTS ROTJ space battles? i'd like to see u make something out of it.

Yes, I did, but I'm not sure my current skills are quite up to the task. Besides stealing some footage from ROTS, I'm not sure what I could do, really. However, any thoughts you have about that, or any other footage that I could use would be gladly accepted. :)

with the blockade runner deal, there is the scene where the tie fighter crashes into the bridge, maybe u can substitute the tie for the blockade runner. the bridge would need to fall off or something. i can't find the clip on youtube, but in the movie star shiptroopers, there is a scene where and asteroid is coming at a cruiser, it knocks the bridge off. that's wat i picture. if u can find the clip and look at it maybe that'll give u something to work with.

Here's a stab at the attack of Corvette Squadron:

that is the scene i was thinking of! good work!

That particular 'scene' is rather short (all of 3.5 seconds), I played around with something, but it's soo short that I'm not sure I should bother puting it on Youtube.

This is just a quicky snapshot of my awesome work

No...it refers to Anakin.

I usually use glossy photo paper...at least for the good stuff, like a certain 'Revisited' movie :)

Good but the cinematography is like videogame.

Nice to see the storyboards come to life!

Good job

-Angel

I know the footage of Akbar & Boba is a bit lifeless (other than the briefing footage in the background), but it would've taken a bit too long to mask out each of them for just a test clip.

Okay, this has nothing to do with Ewoks...

Put together a short bunch of segments of the Boba Fett subplot that Bingowings mentioned HERE.

Bleedin brilliant, this seems actually doable now.

Boba Fett in ROTJ actually doing the job he was created to do and not dying like a clown.

I should point out though that Angel storyboarded it before I did.

Okay...but I followed your's (Bingowings) storyboard more closely

But, thanx go to both of you :)

EDIT: I realize the 'dialog' (between Darth/Boba, and Akbar/Boba) is a little weak, but it got the job done.

@ Adywan,

 

Instead of smashing the sets once you are done creating them...why don't you auction them off to your fans here??

I am sure that some of us would be more than happy to 'own' a piece of history in the Star Wars Revisited Timeline!!

 

Is that legal?

 

We will make it legal!

How about...

I gues this is probably the right thread to mention a quick video I did for fun.

For those interested, I did a rough cut of Lando dying:

Also tried some color correction.  So much fun!

Really nice. It's a tighter edit than mine, and I dare say it's a little better, too.

3. When Han asks Leia if she loves Luke, she says that she does but it looks like she expects Han to know that Luke is her brother. WTF?

It might be because they are all very close friends, and she thinks that he's referring to their group 'love', rather than one-on-one romantic love.

I sent Davnes a PM and asked him if he could mock it up for me.  If anyone else wants to try, I can send them my notes.

I need to pay more attention to my PM's. Anyway, even though 005 send another PM saying I didn't need to worry about it, I DID worry about it....

[use the] scene in AOTC where anakin just takes off on the swoop bike from the lars homestead and [is] speeding along the terrain in the twilight, replace anakin with luke.

Something like this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkBlpvFUjzg

 yea something like that. some of that might work good in the revisited edition, except for the first part. no offense.

lol...yeah, I guess pasting the head on could been done better.

I actually have a decent idea (if it hasnt been stated yet) the shot could open outside bens house and have lukes xwing sitting outside it. or have the ship flying over tattoined and landing by bens house. Of course if you read the first 5 pages of Shadows of the empire the whole gang is at ben's house. Hmmm of course we could say fuggit and let luke be alone. Of course that will be a bitch to pull of. We would have to use existing scenes. could we even add obi wan to the shot telling him about how vader is his father. of coursse we need to see yoda die.

Ideas like yours have been discussed before (scroll back to page 20) here was my take:

 

I just put together an edit of what you might have in mind. The video spans the first hour of the movie (but I cut alot out of the footage just for the sake of time, etc). You might even get a few chuckles out of it. Ayway, just have fun watching ROTJ like you've never seen it before.

Please note: This is probably one of the weirdest looking edits ever made, but I think it sort of gets the point across, so please put aside any "it looks rushed" thoughts :P

That's kinda what I was talking about; I wanted to see more of an effect from the explosion so it's not just BLAM!  Hooray, it's over!  Let's party!

[Show] Han and Leia,...[with] fragments raining down behind them [in] the sky.

... the debris falling from the explosion is something I'll give a go, maybe using footage from the end of ID4 (although any other thoughts are wlecome), where the pieces of the alien ships fall from the heavens.

I've been playing around with ways to do it, but it soon accured to me that the problem is the shot of Han & Leia is really close up, not leaving much room to show anything in the sky (nevermind using the footage from ID4).

The only way I can see of doing it, is to have a long shot of H&L, but a matte would be too abvious (?)...and I don't know what footage I could use to fill in the background. :(

I think I may be getting a little 'burnt-out' by the Deathstar explosion - time to fix something else...like the explosions of the AT-ST's during the ground battle (but not the ones in the space battle)------That last bit was joke, btw ;).
