Star Wars: REBORN - The Complete Saga (* unfinished project *)
Time

Infodroid, what a fascinating concept. I'm sorry you and TJdavis won't be finishing it. But it sounds like a lot of work was done on it, even if it doesn't feel that way to you. Any chance you have any clips (other than the Coruscant chase clip) that you could share with us, even if they are a little rough?

Did you guys ever look into the mashups at the official Star Wars site? I've never checked them out myself, but I've heard it mentioned that they may have some music-free dialog available.

I found these pics:

I'm not sure how accurate this one is or where it came from. It might be CG:

It seems a little different (in coloration) from the image used for the SW Card Game:

.: The XØ Project - Laserdisc on Steroids :. (SEE FIRST POST FOR UPDATES) (* unfinished project *)
Time

I understand that this project is on indefinite hold due to Laserman's health. I wish him and his family the best.

This project showed great promise. I realize it may never be completed, but it seemed to me that some great strides were made.

In the spirit of this forum and preservation in general, I ask the X0 team members to consider releasing the work done to-date. If nothing else, the raw X0 captures alone would be of immense use to this community.

Adywan, I ask you to reconsider using GM's idea. I bet the difference in delivery for "How is that possible" can be fixed, after seeing the improvements in Vader's voice in SW-R.

I really like GM's proposed dialog. The interruption is great, as well as the use of Palpatine's "Lord Vader" in an almost condescending manner. The original dialog was great at the time, but I think it needs to be updated to match what we now know of Palpatine's scheming personality. A shot of Palpatine sitting in his office afterwards grinning to himself would be the icing on the cake!

As far as the rule of two, let's look at what's in the movies (forget the novelizations and all the other EU crap). The only people that we see who are aware of the rule are Yoda and Mace. From that scene in TPM (I'm going from memory here), it's not even clear if Mace was aware before Yoda said anything. My point is, it may not be common knowledge for the Jedi, and Anakin may not even be aware of it. So Vader's desire to make his son an "ally" - as far as he knows - may not be an outright declaration of war on Palpatine. Regardless of whether Palpatine knows of the rule (he probably does), he's now just had a revelation that Luke could be a good replacement for Vader. If you think about it, why would Vader hand over his son to the Emperor in ROTJ if he KNOWS of the rule of two? Why would he willingly send his replacement to the Emperor?

Also, voices, I hate to correct whoever said this...ARE genetic. Seeing as vocal chords are created by our genes, and those truly are what affect our sound, in a way it IS genetic. On top of that, it can also be influenced by our upbringing. Accents aren't genetic lol.

 

GM, voices are genetic, but accents are not. Even though Boba had a Kiwi accent until Jango died, he would most likely lose it as he grew older and was exposed to different accents.Children are especially adaptive when it comes to languages and accents.

That said, I do think your attempt to alter Morrison's voice is interesting. But I prefer the original Wingreen voice.

Here's the image I keep going on about. Forget the shadows. If I had to come up with just 2 words to describe what's wrong with screne, they'd be "bad photoshop".

Look at the size of the railing compared to the size of the people. The railing comes up to the middle of their thighs. They look about 10 feet tall! ( I guess that makes Chewie about 14')

The hallway is not wide enough for the railing to be normal size. Am I the only one who sees this?

I vote for the open balcony shot being removed. It just always seemed like a little too much. A hallway with windows, I can buy. But a hallway that's totally open on one side, meh. And is it me, or is the railing REAL low? (Like, not effective at keeping you from falling off at all. This isn't the Death Star here.)

I'm also not a big fan of the shots where everyone is starding around in hallways and outside listening to Lando's announcement. Those feel very "pasted in" to me.

Info: another 16mm print of SW on eBay
Time
I would put up some money toward aquiring one of these prints, but only after I see what Puggo can do with the lead he has on the 16mm version with ANH in the crawl. Personally, I see little value in spending hundreds (or thousands) on a print if the quality is sub-GOUT.

Also, I would only contribute if the front man (the one doing the bidding) were someone on these boards that I consider trustworthy. For me, this would have to be someone like Puggo, who has already shown their good intentions to this community.

If we ever do want to do this, we should set up a PayPal account that everyone can contribute to, and which will ONLY be used for the purchasing of a print. Plus (and this may annoy some), but anyone who contributes should be able to get their money returned at any point, for whatever reason.

Some things to consider:
-Transferring the film, if the result is DVD quality, may generate a little C&D action from Lucasfilm.
-Most people with private collections of things (films, props, etc.) keep them PRIVATE. They don't want to risk losing their collection.

Star Tours 2.0: A Podrace....
Time
I heard this rumor 8 or 9 years ago. Still, I'm disappointed it may still have legs.

Georgo Lucas in 2011: "I was never happy with the original Star Tours ride. Now I've had the time to go back and recreate the ride according to my original vision. I'm sorry if you fell in love with the original version, but that ride no longer exists anymore. It's dead to me."
