That's why I never complain about Richard Marquand. He wasn't really allowed creative imput. He was just the guy who directed when George didn't want to get out of his chair.
I'm sorry I've been postponing these so much. I've been in a lot of funk lately.
Beard of Doom!!
oh, and this little classic:

I got a kick out of this.
I'd post something, but my microphone is dead.
It may seem like I'm not releasing the covers, actually I've had no time to work on them. I've been trying to get as much school work done before fall break as I can so I can get my diploma faster. Since the work is all computer based, my eyes can't look at a computer screen at the end of the day. Now it's break and I can focus on the covers which should be done by the end of next week.
I've got the Soundtrack and the AC3. I just need to find a free option of sending the RARs.
I am glad you are doing this. My computer just can't handle that load, I had plans to do it eventually, but you are doing the exact same project. So I thank you!!
It's safe to say most of us weren't kids when George Lucas started messing with Star Wars. I didn't really know much about the Special Editions until High School, and I was a Star Wars since I was 7. I kept to my CBS Fox trilogy and any other release was pointless to me until the DVD's came out. It was at that moment I realized, "This doesn't look right."
In the end, I didn't become disappointed with George Lucas until I became a video quality whore as a teenager, and got the 2004 box set.
I partially blame this site for pouring salt into my already gaping wound, but at the same time it made me aware to just how much had been messed with. I knew about the Ewok celebration, Hayden Ghost, and Mos Eisley crap, but it was the little things that made me even madder.
I am usually a fan of enhancements. Count me as one who thought the Blade Runner Director's Cut was amazing. It just felt unnecessary in Star Wars. If they had fixed blatant issues like garbage mattes, missing lasers, poorly rotoscoped sabers, I wouldn't have minded. Instead they opted to change things that were perfectly fine instead of the poorly done things.
Then George messes with the editing of Star Wars, which was what saved it from being just another crappy sci fi film. It's like he forgets that it was the editing that made his shitfest of a film, a contemporary classic. Now we have Jabba plopped in and CGI that distracts from the focus of each scene. The Dewback outside the cantina just roars for attention.
I liked Milla until she started doing shitty movies. I think she's been typecast into the same role over and over.
You guys have got to see this comedy gold edit of the deleted scenes.\

The thing that bothers me that I've always noticed is X-Wing ladders. Once he climbs into the cockpit, if there's no crew there he has to just cast off the ladder to the ground. How many of those do you think he goes through? =P
Yeah, that bothered me as well.
Am I the only one who thought the English Sullustan (Nien Nunb Race) was adorable. If somebody stuck him in their edit, they should keep him just like that.
On another note, Crix Madine sounded different in the deleted scene. He spoke more American in the film, and then he had an English accent in the deleted scene.
Was he overdubbed, or did he just play it different for the rebel briefing scene?
I wonder if anybody could mix up dialogue from other sources to use in the sandstorm sequence. It sounds next to impossible, but we have some pretty talented people hear. That sandstorm sequence is beautiful, has iconic imagery potential that is lacking in ROTJ.

Nobody's touching my woman!
Somebody could make a killer black and white cut of the film. The dust and scratches wouldn't be so bad then.
Anybody else get a PM from a member called "Miraclelove"? Think it might be spam.

So glad to finally see this. Pretty sure it's useable with cleanup, no?
I know I played the exact music in my winamp while watching it, and it was amazing. The video should clean fairly well.

By that point, there will be plenty of used copies available at your local dump.
fixed that for ya!!
If your gonna be a pirate, can you at least be private about it?
Dear lord, this facebook world we are leaving in where everybody has to be ballsy and post everything they do is so stupid.
What you do on your own time as far as legal and illegal is on you, don't bring it here.
Ady hasn't used the blu ray yet (As far as we know) we have every right to donate to the 2004 version of his cut LOL.

Ignoring the first bit of this deleted scene (which is now perhaps one of the most awkward Star Wars moments... ever), the rest is actually pretty good. Leia's attitude comes through loud and clear.
Is it just me or does Han come off very John Wayne in this?
I definitely get that vibe. He could've finished it with "Now saddle up your horse and get goin'" and it wouldn't have stuck out.
