About the new cockpit shot, it's alright, i'm not lovin the reflections tho. And y'd we start talking about them anyway? Those shots are in ESB like 4 times or less.

 

And the hologram, that always bothered me. I think I read somewhere a while ago that Ady was gonna get some1 in a Vader costume or some1 suggested that to him. I don't know what he'll do but that's my suggestions as well, find some1 with a good Vader costume and take a lil video of it

 i agree new footage would be great tbh, ive had a go really quickly and ive think it looks so much better

Hey Ady just wondered if at all uve fixed this scene coz its really the worst hologram in the entire saga with no reason the be, mite be givin it ago lol

hey guys since this thread gone really quiet thought i wud give this a go to get people dyin agen

When you see the deck burning that's real (a controlled fire on the physical set) but the explosion is very much a model.

 

 I know this is off topic completely so please forgive me but wingowings u just gave me an idea with ur pic of jabba and han, instead of Han steppin ON his tail would anyone like to try and make han STEP OVER jabbas tail?

Hahaha! I never knew that! It will indeed be a lot of fun to see what Ady sticks in there now. Anyone else have the Star Wars SE Monopoly manual, with the Aurek-Besh on the back?

Totally.  What's sad is that I can almost read it without the guide...

I could at one point, too, around 10 years ago. I just copied it from an RPG book, I think.

 

Ive been tryin to learn it actually, just thought it wud be cool to be able to read aurekbesh out of all the star wars films, for those people that have no idea just check out the aurekbesh wiki entry lol

STAR WARS

The GALACTIC REPUBLIC is now corrupt and reckless,

the JEDI ORDER and the governing bodies

 are struggling to maintain control of

of the falling systems and are now

being controlled by the rich and powerful.

(This covers the republic crumbling and the reason why jedi and the republic cant help slaves on tatooine and also explains the reason why the sepretist movement can function in Epi II)

The usually faithful TRADE FEDERATION has

cut off shippings to the small planet of NABOO,

surrounding the planet with battleships and possibly

a threat of the rumoured weapons named DESTROYERS.

In this alarming chain of events the chancellor

has sent two JEDI to resolve the blockade

and report on anything suspicious....

(In this section i wanted to show there was a rumor that the TF had weapons, explains why Obi Wan shouts "Master! Destroyers!" and chose to put JEDI and not JEDI KNIGHTS because Obi Wan is not a Jedi yet. 'and report on anything suspicious.' adds the more of an intention for Qui Gon to contact Valorum and not the Jedi first.)

As far as the lightsabers go, I think I like the idea of the purple saber being set aside for the Jedi who is falling or who is not conforming to the dictates of the council.  Using color to determine rank is to 'Imperial' for me, if you take my meaning.  I want the lightsaber colors to have an 'emotional' or symbolic meaning rather than a military one.

But my point is, what is the symbolism of Mace Windu's lightsaber color?
Lucas gave us absolutely no reason why Mace should be the only one to have a purple lightsaber in the PT (maybe he did it for s**ts and giggles...), so why not put the color of his lightsaber to an effective use?

I'm not saying that there should to be rigid "Ranking System" for the Jedi - not at all. But Yoda and Mace do seem to be at the top of the order, so why not present a visual indication of that higher mastery? (and purple/violet is often regarded to be one of the highest "color ranks" in symbolism, according to some of the esoteric/mystery religions that I've researched and studied)

 Not knocking any of your research or ideas about lightsaber colours or colour symbolism but im not a big fan of people changing lightsaber colours, such ideas like make every lightsaber blue except masters/knights takes away every bit of personality away from these Jedi. What next start doing the KOTOR way of doing things and have a colour designation to a certain 'class' of jedi like guardian, diplomat and sentinel?

Making 'classes' and making all jedi uniform regarding lightsaber colour just seems to military, as if its like its standard issue. Dooku being a Sith is a good idea, remember Sidious only uses Dooku to start the war and Dooku is but a 'nesserary loss'. Making him a rogue jedi starts bringing up issues like 'grey' jedi etc.

Lightsaber colour is an important decision in Jedi lightsaber construction. Obi Wan chose blue and Qui Gon chose Green. There own personal choice. Remember that Jedi are very similar to Samurai in many respects and the soul of the person and the blade are one and the same, a sword in laser form or not in an extention of themselves. Does that mean Darth Vader in gonna have purple because he is a Lord? course not he is gonna be red, why? Because Anakin turned to evil and slaughtered many, the red blood colour is an extention of his new form.

People are now gonna bring up the issue of why has Mace got a purple lightsaber then?

Samuel L. Jackson asked for it, comics told us why. A bit of EU that i actually like, Mace went out and personally looked for it.

Though i personally hate this rainbow of lightsaber colours that LucasArts etc have given us, the only one i do like for its individuality is Mace's. Does that mean things like Jango gonna be recoloured to Boba costume? No coz boba personalised it. To make most people have blue just seems borin too tbh, sorry about the rant lmao, gets to me sometimes ya know?

Many Thanx

Hey guys just my quick idea of what grievous should really look like! :D finally got my photobucket workin lmao!

 

hope you all enjoy lol

 

Du Twan

Awesme tho personally ive always been more akin to a gun metal type of color..

 

 

 Wow nice affect, i went with this kind of colour and not changed it personally because of Grievous old body. i know its EU but i loved the whole design of the old him, captures his personality and character all in one.

ChainsawAsh said:

That's just EU reasoning to explain something that shouldn't have needed explaining, because IT DOESN'T make sense for the first to take 20 years and the second to take 3.  Yeah, the second would go by much more quickly than the first, but not THAT much more.  At most, I'd say 8 years for the first and 3 for the second makes sense, and that's stretching it.  IMO 5 for DS1 and 3 for DS2 makes the most sense.

 i can understand wot ur sayin yea but i mean look at the UK takes like 20 years to do anything decent, like the olympic 2012 in london, u really think thats gonna be on time. its already havin problems with fundin etc even at the expense of the tax payer, long delays are possible.

Construction

LMAO!!!!!

Unlike the Empire's first Death Star, which, as a result of supply and design problems, took nineteen years to be considered an operational battlestation, this much larger Death Star took far less time, approximately two to four years, to construct. Methods of faster construction had been developed in the years since the original station's conception, added to the fact that Imperial engineers made sure to allocate enough space on the station for the maximum possible amount of self-replicating construction droids.^[5]

The second Death Star's building location remained secret from the Alliance, unlike the first station's construction site at Despayre. After the initial stages of construction, the station was put under the command of Darth Vader during its relocation to a new construction site in the Endor system. Endor was selected due to the massive concentration of strategic metals on the planets Dor, Eloggi, and Megiddo in the system,^[6] but the actual construction site was in geosynchronous orbit around the forested Sanctuary Moon, protected by a powerful shield generator on the moon's surface.^[2][1]

bkev said:

That makes a lot of sense!  I don't see how they could construct one that's 3 times the size in much less time; makes no sense that they started it way back when, right?

 Sorry been sittin bk too long now and gotta comment on the death star 2 contruction etc. Death star 2 was only a bigger version of DS1. In contruction it takes longer time to create something the first time round due to resources and design problems etc etc etc. makes sense that DS1 took longer than DS2.

Hey guys just my quick idea of what grievous should really look like! :D finally got my photobucket workin lmao!

lol! try talking down a pringles tube or a long tiolet roll.

 

i think having a new voice, if anything, allows for original dialogue.

 not a bad idea, mite try that in a sec, just waitin for my voice to recover a bit, either that or start smoking 40 a day lmao. mite have a mess about on my sound software see wot i can do on there first lol.

 I also suggest a re-dubbing of his voice so it isn't so laughable; have it be along the lines of Star Wars: Clone Wars, where it's more menacing and metallic than in the ROTS we have now.

Is anyone/does any know a voice acting talent around here that could bring this to fruition?

 I could give it a go i suppose, always wanted to be a voice actor. Can do smeagol, jacksparrow, kermit the frog and fair few other voices so mite give it a go lol.

ben_danger said: yay

Not 100% happy with him but at least the red eyes give an up to him.

 

-Angel

 Lovin the pic Angel. Makes Greivous more sinister than the film and also lives up to that picture i saw in the newspaper few years ago and just thought omfg he is going to be badass!

Really love the red eyes idea. I was just thinkin maybe in the scenes where we have grievous coughing maybe we could have him struggling to breath. Since george wanted us to have a kinda thing of wot darth vader could turn too then maybe the whole breathin part could be part of it, of course im not suggestin that we simply have darth vaders breathing in those scenes but some kind of struggle.

The voice of Grevious should of been in my mind kind of like the disney film the black cauldron with the horned king, in many respects he does remind me alot of Greivious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Nq7NkufHg&feature=related

I do mean the dark figure and not the igor green guy called creeper lmao. This voice as a child made hairs stand up on the back of my neck and continues to do so in many films like V for Vendetta for e.g.

John Hurt the man of terror beside vincent price etc. Going of topic now but I would like to see and hear a more meaner scarier villian that was promised.

I have a few ideas too about some of his scenes too. Especially the scene of the bridge of the ship, instead of him throwing the electrostaff at the window on purpose, is there a way we can have him throwing it at either Kenobi or Skywalker and missing or simply they move out the way to make him a little more intimidating?
