"Wha ? You mean you want to see them with cardboard lightsabers and no effects"?
Wait.
Seriously, did he actually utter the phrase "Cardboard lightsabers"?
^ That's probably the best edit of that scene I've ever seen.
Harmy, Happy Birthday, and thanks for all your hard work!
Not bad. So no sonic charges either? I approve of that.
Just read that; no real new info.
But what did Prowse say in People vs. George Lucas?
R A H?
There's a new Star Wars comic coming out in January, called Star Wars. It follows the characters immediately following the events of the first movie.

My plan is to pretend that nothing else exists other than 'A New Hope,'" said Wood. "At least in the minds of the characters. The fact the reader knows so much, especially things the characters don't just yet -- such as Luke and Leia being related, Vader as their father, et cetera -- makes for some fun writing. I love 'Empire,' and maybe in the future I'll catch up to that film story-wise, but for right now I'm enjoying this beautiful moment in time, starting literally days after the Battle of Yavin when everything is set up and the future is wide open.
It looks like it could be interesting, but I'm gonna wait to see how word of mouth is.
It's definitely "Sanctuary Moon". I think that's a holdover from when the script had the Death Star being constructed above the Sanctuary Moon that orbited Had Abbadon (which is essentially Coruscant).
So for those with an NTSC Oppo, is it true that it will play PAL discs?
I believe Live can be disabled on most players.
Resuming a movie where you left off is unrelated to Live. It's dependent on the individual Blu-Ray disc.
Too bad he doesn't have any money he can waste on restoring the OOT.

Factory sealed or not, this tape is over a decade old.
A bit off topic, but why would a tape from the 90s not have macrovision?
The gore and horror in the film are pretty intense. I'd say it was reasonable to rate it R.
Didn't Mverta offer his expertise?
I've seen this theory before and wasn't sure what to make of it. On the face, I recognize the ridiculousness of it.
But the idea has been bumping around inside my head for several years now, and I can't completely dismiss it. There are just so many references that back this up, that it's hard for me to see it as simply coincidence.
Thanks!
For the ROTJ mixes, will you be synching to the NTSC or PAL? I believe PAL is the preferred source for most preservations.

How about some more radical approach?
Sorry for crude editing and quality - it was done very quick.. Of course, music, effects etc need to be tighten up.
I'm try to describe this scene in short. Jango plays cat & mouse with Obi up until he's shooting a rocket. No stupid seismic charges and gunfire - Fett came from behind and do his job. IMO, in that way, two of them are not complete morons and know what they doing. Just strait to the point action scene.
p.s.: Some more build up before rocket shoot may also help. And we never see Jango's face.
Assuming the roughness of this quick edit can be smoothed out, I like this a lot. Even better would be to incorporate Coov's idea of Obi Wan preparing the seismic charges ahead of time - he can do that before he flies into the asteroid.
I've never been a fan of the seismic charges. It's the sound element that gets me. Sound in space is one thing, but delayed sound in space is just too much for me to swallow.
I thought it might have been part of a trailer, or maybe a teaser clip. It was definitely not part of SW-Revisited.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a tease of the Executor just with Vader's Tie Fighter docking with it or something.
I could have sworn Adywan did something like this at some point. It was the shot from the end of ANH with Vader's TIE flying off into the distance, with the Executor in the background.
I had to think a while on this to even come up with something. Honestly, I don't think any changes are needed.
But if LFL just had to make changes, it should be along these lines:
- Digitally redo all composites using original elements (to remove mattes and dupe grain)
- Correct any "errors" (wonky props and sets, effects errors)
- Possibly use cgi to correct bad ship movements (BUT NO CGI SHIPS)
- Possibly use cgi to smooth bad puppet movements (BUT NO CGI CHARACTERS)
- Use the original 6-channel mixes to come up with modern 7.1 mixes that don't sound like crap (NO NEW SOUNDS)
In a nutshell: fix what you have, add nothing new! Basically, they should be the exact same movies, only with the edges polished for modern audiences.
That was funny. I nearly lost it when during the TIEs.

Quote of the day!
I enjoyed the new Half in the Bag. These guys continue to deliver on the Lucas bashing, which is well deserved. But how long can they keep it up?
Cool news, although I may pass on the MKV since I don't have any way to watch it with 5.1 sound on my TV.
Speaking of sound, is Hairy Hen's newest 5.1 mix included?
Adventure time is great. I watch it with my kids whenever I get a chance.
But yeah, I don't think it's really inspired by Star Wars in any way.
