Keep up the great work, ABC!  It's great to see such devotion to one of the best scores ever recorded (and possibly the best Star Wars score).  It is certainly one of my favorite scores and I hope you continue to restore it so it can be heard the way it was suppose to be heard.

I have a question about your latest "The Duel" restoration job.  Maybe I am too used to hearing this track on the SE album, but this latest version seemed muffled and restrained.  I realize that the ESB SE album was improperly mixed, but that track seemed more "vibrant" on the SE album.  I have been listening to the SE album for almost 10 years now, so maybe my ears have gotten used to the incorrect sound.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work and I hope you don't get too discouraged from the seemingly lack of interest in your work.  I am certainly behind you 100%!

It's like hearing the Beatles in stereo your whole life and then hearing them in mono.

Wonderful work. I really like it. I also appreciate the work you did. I have done mockups with the throne room and it has proven to be very hard work.

I watched Couple's Retreat last night. It had a few moments, but in the end it was just another mediocrity. Vince Vaughan hasn't really broken out of his basic character. You could say he was the same character every time and I would believe it.

Mostly it made me smile, but I have to say the cinematography kept me watching. I really wanted to go to that beach.

It is a weekend pizza movie. I found that most of the time my family were just talking and ignoring it. Compared to Funny People, the movie is hilarious.

I approved this despite the NSFW appearance of the picture.

I know the thread was open, but what was that supposed to mean?

I just found it amusing. But to avoid getting probated

That is pretty good, but I would give some brightness back to it. Things get hidden in the shadows.

If this means probation, so be it. But it's the freaking She-Hulk!

 Aside from the sensational series, I found the comics pretty enjoyable.

More like Hasbeens for kids. I used to hum along to them, but really, I was 12.

Wow, vaderios sure is in shill mode. ;)

Anyway, not sure what else could be done to the shot. I mean, it even has other ships flying around the city as they're approaching!

I know.  But the Falcon still has a very big "I'm special effects" feel to me, personally (I don't know how far Ady's effects software can go, though).

I concur... the Falcon needs to be darkened (or something), as it stands out as a little odd in its current state, especially flying in front of the sun as it does.  Try taking a model of anything, going outside, and "flying" it over the sun (while not looking at the sun too long)...

 Yeah, and let my neighbors see me doing it?

Hahaha Super Mario Da da da dadadadada dum... Da dadadada dum dadadadada dum boom tissss. Da dadadadadaladadadadadalada da da da la dada da adadadadaaaaaaaaa

I would like to see suit, but more of an early version, with tubes and steam coming out. It sounds dorky, but it gives you more of sense that this is 2 decades before ANH. Hell, I wouldn't be against it being made of some kind of a metal.

Logically..

When the gandark/mynock flying vampire, kisses the glass of the falcon,

in the next cockpit shots shouldn't be visible the remains of the juicy kiss?

So again logically they should clean it up when they leave again from Bespin, after the falcon got maintenance from lando's crew?

Or the falcon has windscreen wiper? :P

 

Plus when R2 tries to open the second door in the bespin exodus.. we see in the close ups that it still emits smoke from the electricity failure in the previous shots.. But when we cut to chewie, R2 in the background isnt emits any smoke.. :)

Well we can't assume Han is an automotive genius. I believe the only modifications he made to the falcon were:

Satellite Dish

Couch

Windshield Wipers

Spark Plugs

My doctor tells me I need more vegetables in my diet. I tell him, I cook my meat in vegetable oil.

More like, Not Safe For Ears. I had the volume on the very bottom notch, and still almost went deaf.

720p is better than people give it credit for. Most of us are going to be watching it on 50" to below televisions anyway. Yes 1080p is great, but I know where Ady is coming from. I started working on Spaceballs in 1080p, and my computer was really slow and I got the bluescreen of death several times. So I had to scrap my work and start new with 720p.

Boy the ring really messed him up.

The novelization was actually released in 1976, before the film! Not 1978.

Kurgan, you're blowing your cover on my pay-off scheme! :p

Yeah, though there were numerous re-releases of the novel. The only thing that ever changed from one edition (other than the cover) is the preface/introduction and the title.

 

Believe it or not, it was originally titled:

"Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker"

Then somewhere around 1995 it became just "Star Wars." This is how it was in the various anthologies (of all three novels in one).

Then briefly in 1997 it was "Star Wars: A New Hope: Special Edition" (though I may be thinking of the "Special Edition" that was all three novels with a gold "Special Edition Trilogy" image on the cover).

Then it was pretty much "Star Wars: A New Hope" until, iirc, 2004 when it became "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope" and even has the same Vader image that is on the 2004 DVD box (gold, iirc from the full frame version).

I believe I only have the 1977 version (78?) with the gold cover (and different painting) and "now a major motion picture" on it.

 

Rumor has it that the very first printing of the book spelled it "lightsabre" instead of the now familiar "lightsaber," but I can't confirm that.

As for the money...

If you give it to me, I might forget I found you. ;)

I believe my Uncle still has the original pressings of the novelizations. He even has a very yellowed "Splinter of the mind's eye"

Now it is just plain old wood, because Frink doesn't like nature's sense of humor.
