How's it coming on this?
And have you heard of anyone trying to use bricklink to build the Death Star 10188? If I could do it for under $200 (without the minifigs), I'd give it a shot.
I'm glad Harmy has decided to tweak the colors for the duel. The random green was really one of my few issues with version 2.0.
Oh man! You might be on to something there.
I have been working on "decoding" the Holiday Special alphabet lately. With the exception of the computer screen, I'm convinced they all say something.
I think the first image says "The XXXXX'X Wokee!" Keep in mind the cartoon was originally called "The Faithful Wookiee".
Interesting. The markings have some similarities to the text on the TIE Fighter Pilot helmets.
Hey Harmy,
On the new Yavin IV takeoff shot you posted, the colors of the sky look a little "uneven", like it was pasted together from different pieces.
Otherwise, keep up the great work!
I'd imagine the work on the soundtrack would be very extensive. You'd be removing all effects and John Williams music.
I think Doug Chiang, the concept artist for Episodes I and II, had a huge impact on the design aesthetic of those movies (and the fact that they don't have a very OT look). In Episode III, you see a lot more designs that are reminiscent of the OT.
The bottom line is, anyone who cares to create a visual bridge to the OT can easily do so without GL. The artists at Dark Horse do it all the time.
I would give Trooperman about a week more. He has a tendency to go awol sometimes, but he almost always comes back.
Glad to hear George will no longer be in charge, but...
LAST CALL FOR FAN EDITS AND PRESERVATIONS!
Wasn't there a single released back in the day? I think I had it. Maybe the English version was on that.
Thanks for posting the vids. This continues to be interesting.
What percentage done are you?
Since I live in Houston, I'll keep an eye on this.
:/
Oh well.
Is this new footage?

Safety not guaranteed. 2 Balls. I had high hopes and it starts out interesting but kinda falls apart towards the end.
I was interested in this. Is it worth a rental?
Hey 7FN,
I downloaded these from myspleen. Thanks!
During the opening of The Story of Star Wars in the CD quality version, the audio from the first 3:15 seems to be missing. Is anyone else seeing this?
What about a modded OPPO? Those seem to be available.

I tried, but the guy's voice was too annoying to stand, so I gave up.
I was really put off by his voice too at first. Once you realize it's part of an act, it grows on you. Give it another try in about a week.
Good point.
See if you can find a small cheap ($30) DVD-only player from Wal-Mart that's region free.

So I was channel surfing when I stumbled on that new Lego Star Wars special they were hyping not that long ago. Lots of....odd things going on but something pretty interesting happened.
There was a moment where Han was caught off guard by a Stormtrooper and Han shoots him right on the spot. This prompts Threepio (played by Anthony Daniels) to run up and shout, "Han shot first!" To which Solo replies, "Of course I did. It was a matter of either him or me, why wouldn't I?" And Threepio replies something to the effect of, "That's a matter of some great contention."
I caught this show and loved it. It's filled with moments that make fun of the prequels and stupid SE additions.
They need to make this a TV show. Seriously. It would be tons better than the stupid-looking Star Wars Detours.

Prometheus is not an Alien prequel. It's not the same type of film, and there is pretty scant evidence outside of Weyland to even suggest it is in the same universe, so if you like Alien you won't necessarily like this.
I have to disagree. It's obviously an Alien prequel: set design, Weyland, the ring ship, the engineer climbing into the navigation chair seen in Alien. They all obviously point to this being a prequel.
Judged as a prequel (and without the benefit of any questions that may get answered in Prometheus 2), I think most will agree that it failed.
But as a standalone movie, it was pretty good.
Awesome comparisons, Harmy. There were some new fixes I wasn't aware of!
I had a few comments, in addition to Stinky-Dinkins' awesome review:
20.51.41, 20.51.54 (LFL logo and ALTA) - Descriptions do not match slides.
20.52.30 - aliazing -> aliasing
21.11.31 - Right image for non-BD shots? They're transparent instead of the regular blank starfields.
No mention of removed Jabba.
12.55.53 - uisng -> using
12.57.56, 12.58.15, 13.00.04, 13.00.27, 13.03.18, 13.03.29 - DeEd 1.0 shots seem out of sync with the other 3 sources.
13.11.24 - Shouldn't the shots from GOUT and DeEd 1.0 be there?
13.15.16 - DeEd 1.0 frame seems out of sync
13.26.47 - Stinky-Dinkins offered a good rewrite of the sentence, but you could probably get away with just adding a comma after "Falcon".
And also...

And yes, the video version will be a BD extra. It's over 20 minutes long though...
"Video version"? Will this be a gallery of moving clips, or just stills that automatically refresh?

Where's my welcome?
None of them received the heroes' welcome.
Paul Hardcastle sees what you did there.
I've got to admit, I'm baffled by Simon Pegg's relationship with LFL. He's been very critical of the SEs and Prequels. Yet he was invited to do voice work for the Clone Wars.

I personally think Lucasfilm will say nothing and do nothing, either from a genuine belief that it has no significant impact on them, or for fear of drawing more attention to it.
My thoughts exactly. The only action they might take would be a C&D.
