<strong>Star Wars (1977)</strong> - 'Behind The Scenes / Making Of' <strong>images</strong> thread
Time

The following images are just a small part of benduwan’s quality collection of images from unused / deleted / production scenes from the Original Trilogy…

(I’ll post some more images from his collection later)

Adding Subtitles &amp; Menus to DVD's of Harmy's Despecialized?
Time

I think there are a few threads on making menus for blu rays further on in this section of the site? It may be the same or similar for DVDs also?

It may be easier to put the films onto USB drives for your friends and family: rather than burning discs, making menus, printing out artwork, buying cases and so on?

ooj has a great USB cover and case thread for ideas and inspiration, and there may be other similar ideas in the ‘Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art’ forum, if you go with the USB drives?
 

But respect to you if you choose to go down the more tradtional route 😃

<strong>Coronavirus</strong> (COVID-19) Pandemic thread - <strong>relevant political discussion allowed</strong> in here
Time

THe UK has gone past 30,000 deaths from the coronavirus (the actual figure is likely to be much higher given most of these figures are from hospital recorded deaths - not from care homes or ‘at home’ deaths). This is now the highest number recorded in Europe:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus
 

And yet the Govt is still referring to their actions as ‘success’:

https://twitter.com/PeoplesMomentum/status/1257959518199316482 (short video comparison between the UK & the NZ Govts)
 

The UK Govt, amazingly, are looking to ease lockdown restrictions… despite still not enough PPE for NHS workers - let alone care home workers, public transport workers and other key & essential workers, many who have died for lack of PPE, and not hitting their own targets for the numbers of tests carried out.

General Star Wars Questions
Time

Is there a thread on here that chronicles any articles (online links or magazine scans) that are behind the site here / the release of the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy?

I’m having a slow day - I thought there was one? But can’t find it now…

 

Edit - I found an old one below, but it is way out of date. Surely there is a more up to date thread somewhere?

Star Wars Scores and Releases - a general discussion thread

Ah! Thanks for that Z6PO, I’m not up on my soundtracks and scores.

I hope they did a good job on them, were they well received?

It seems so going on the amazon reviews for them, VINCent:-

SW - https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Original-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B07CMKVX9J
ESB - https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Strikes-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B07CMLLW2F
ROTJ - https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Original-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B07CNBSQSW

(I think those are the same version? It can be hard to tell as times given similarities of artwork used and so many releases over time)

Poll: which ship would you wanna fly?
Time

^ I thought it was the same car used to crash the Star Destroyer Bridge? (an in-joke? as it was the substitute for the A-Wing crashing through the Executor bridge on film?)

 
 

Speaking of which…

The A-Wing

…my favourite craft, much overooked and doesn’t get much love (I looked in the recently necrobumped X-Wing or Y-Wing, which ship would you prefer? thread and in the ‘Ships & Vehicles Index’ but couldn’t find a thread for it - so will post some love here (in ‘ooj’ style)
 

The ship that brought down the Super Star Destroyer ‘Executor’…

^ Respect and remember Green Squadron! 😃
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-wing : https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/RZ-1_A-wing_interceptor : https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/A-wing_starfighter

A-Wing Interceptor video - at the MetaNerdz Lore youtube channel. (8 mins)

A-WING: the Best Interceptor in Star Wars video - at the Generation Tech youtube channel. (14 mins.)
 

^ A-Wing at Galaxy’s Edge.
 

If anyone has some images of the A-Wing models being built or used by Lucasfilm for ROTJ, please post them up!

 

obligatory Rogue Squadron reference:

“The A-Wing is fasted fighter we have - capable of matching a TIE Interceptor in speed. Twin J77 Event Horizon engines power the craft and twin blaster canons provide offensive weaponry. However, what we gain speed we lose in defence - deflector shield capability is significantly less than the X-Wing - so make sure you use your speed to dodge lasers than rely on shields. The A-Wing also carries a limited number of missiles.”

I was looking through Amazon Prime and saw that there’s a ROTJ (Theatrical Version) available. I haven’t been able to verify this yet but for those who have, is this for real?

What a con!

Amazon Prime Video knowingly mis-selling an altered CGI/Special Edition version of Return Of The Jedi - yet labelling it as ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Theatrical Version)👎
 

‘Scott’ in the Comment Section of the supposed ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Theatrical Version)’ knows the score, from 2018:-

“I love the movie but this gets a one star because it is a lie. It says theatrical version. This is not the theatrical version it is the altered version where they added in scenes and changed music. I already have this version on dvd. I bought this only because it said theatrical version. I hate the changes to the movie and just want to watch it the way it was. Don’t buy this if you want the unchanged version or you are wasting your money.”

&

‘1stSpear’ in the Comment Section - way back in 2015:-

“I love Return of the Jedi, always have… but this version has the ridiculous and unnecessary CG sequences especially at Jabba’s palace (that atrocious singing sequence) and the young Anakin “spirit” at the end, which totally ruined the whole movie in my opinion. I wish Amazon gave you a choice of buying this one or the original remastered version.”

 

I hope Scott and the others got their money back from being mis-sold a version of a film that the seller knows it is not the ‘theatrical version’ of the film.

Fan Edit Legal Status
Time

Alderaan94 said:

Hello!
I would like to share some fan edits in the future but idk the legal status. I am from Spain and i own the BRs , source material. Is It legal to announce a fan edit and announce that i share links to download it for example to Google Drive ?

Other people here know far more and better than me, but this place and others like it, have been around for a long time, and have firm rules in place about not profiting from projects. And also having rules on owning the official retail release. They haven’t had any problems with the law.

Other places who try and sell and profit from projects have had problems with the law.

Websites that that have download links displayed on them have had problems with the law too.
 

As ooj advises: ask some of the fan editors or preservationists on here in PMs regarding your concerns. Some have been around for a very long time, and have not had any legal problems.
 

I hope to see more of your Edit 😃
