Did she think he would follow Count Dooku on a damn idealistic crusade like his father did?
I was a damn fool. I knew she was gonna say that.

Yeah the one trooper when they're talking about the new BT-16, I like the one trooper's response, "Yeah some of the other guys were telling me about about it, they say it's...it's quite a thing to see."
Yeah that was a good. It made the stormtroopers more relateable than just canon fodder for rebels.
"You seen that new BT-16?"
"Yeah some of the other guys were telling me about it. They say its quite a thing to see."
"What was that?"
"Its nothing, top gassing, don't worry about it."
The original trilogy had some of the best background acting ever. Its what makes it the greatest movies ever made. Giving lines to Stormtroopers was a brilliant move.

I can see that Lucas probably thought Jar Jar was funny but he is just plain annoying.
The comedy which even children get comes in the form of 3PO and R2 bickering.
I don't know. Personally, I don't have any problem with Jar Jar or C-3PO. But back then, 3PO was criticized by many as being annoying. And we all know how he's seen today.
I see your point. Let the wookie win.
I can't abide those Gungans. Disgusting creatures.
The dead stormtrooper on the upper open bridge on the Death Star. He appears twice before he is actually shot by Leia. Its the one that gets hit and drops to the floor of the bridge. He is there twice.
I only picked that up today. You can see the top of his helmet, his shoulder and the gun quite clearly. Once you see it you'll never miss it again.
If they were aimed at children he missed the mark. My 3 year old son finds C3PO and R2D2 amusing but he doesn't laugh at Jar Jar at all.

It doesn't need slapstick.

At the age of 15 - and to this very day - this is the only Stormtrooper that ever stood out to me. He changed the course of the entire story. He overlooks that tiny piece - they leave the planet. He found it - so our story began.
I love the way the shot is framed - the desolation, the sound, the voice, all of it. A really fantastic scene that has moved me for 34 years.
Good choice. Tatooine Stormtroopers are tough. That one is tough and has good eyes.

It's nice to simply talk about Star Wars without having arguments. :-)
I heartily agree with you sir.
I know they all look the same but I always like the one that tilts his head to the side to dodge laser that Leia shoots at him from the unextended Death Star bridge. He had style.
I think he is the same one thats standing above the one that Leia hits and drops to the deck.
Here is a good example. I have a 3 year old son who is very energetic but he will sit still through A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and if my hand is within a foot of the remote he tells me not to touch it and will smack my hand while his eyes are still fixed on the TV.
I put on Phantom Menace and he wants off the couch and plays with his cars. Then the podrace comes on and he watches that while making noises when its over he asks to see the racing again. I say no and he goes off to play his cars.
He hasn't seen Return of the Jedi yet.
So from a very early age they can what is crap and what is not.
The fact my son is called Luke has nothing and I mean nothing to do with Star Wars.
I tried to call him Boba but the wife wouldn't allow it.
"...but I want them alive.."
Points and shakes finger at armoured character
"..nooooo disintegrations."
Got me thinking why is Vader so serious at this guy? Who is he?
From that moment on Fett has been my favourite.
I think people will remember it as it came out in '77.
Sure there are special editions that newer generations will remember but overall the feel of the original trilogy will be the same and it will never be duplicated by any other film(s).

No other movie can make a 3 year old sit still for two hours. Not even kids ones like Toy Story, Cars (which he loves).
So for generations to come the original trilogys will be loved like we love them and if they see the special edition first I'm sure they will show enough interest to hunt down the unaltered versions.
Episode 1
starts with Anakin as a Luke aged apprentice jedi just finishing his teachings with Yoda. He starts his field experience with Obi-Wan.
Palpatine is a senator from a planet under attack from a CAPABLE droid army with decent voices. Palpatine uses Darth Maul as leader of this army.
Anakin and Obi-Wan go to this planet with a security force to attack central droid control and shut it down. Anakin and Obi-Wan fight Darth Maul on control ship while security force on planet fights the droids with the help of a few Jedi. Darth Maul wounds Anakin and escapes into space aboard his Sith Infiltrator.
Anakin is quick to anger but always in control. Anakin meets female ruler of this planet at the end after saving the planet and is taken with her.
Droid army was made to force the senate to make a clone army to help fight the invasion.
Boba Fett is template for the clone army. We never see him without his armour or helmet on.
Episode 2
Anakin secretly has contact with queen and relation ship develops This is indicated and not shown except for the start. Clone troopers are ready. Palpatine is heralded a hero for the idea of an instant clone army to fight the droid army and is voted as Supreme Chancellor (or equivelent title)
Droid army control ships are back with Darth Maul in charge of a fleet of control ships that disperse to attack the republic on numerous fronts. The clone wars have begun.
Anakin and Obi-Wan have space battles versus fighters piloted by droids.
Assisted by Clone pilots and stormtroopers they fight their way to Darth Mauls main fleet.
A few clone troopers are characters that we begin to know (like the way we knew Veers, Piett, Ozzel etc).
Queen from the first film is captured. While imprisoned she is found to be pregnant.
Her capture is making Anakin lose control and Palpatine guides him in accessing his anger to make him more powerful to wipe out this droid army and get his girlfriend the queen back.
Episode 3.
Anakin blames Obi-Wan for holding him back and not allowing his full anger to help him save his love (the queen).
Palpatine is still telling Anakin anger makes him more powerful with the force and soon he will be powerful enough to find his love (the queen). Final confrontation with Maul, Obi-Wan kills Maul while Anakin wanted him alive to find out where the queen is. Anakin is so angry at Obi-Wan for destroying any chance of finding his queen, fights Obi-Wan to the end. Obi-Wan beats him. Anakin changes to the dark side after Maul dies and during the fight with Obi-Wan. Anakin now hates the jedi. Down but not out Anakin is rescued from near death by Royal Guards. Vaders suit is seen but is not worn by Anakin.
Many Jedi are killed during the final fights with the droid army
A small number of planets that are being 'protected' by clone trooper armies are decimated in the need for materiels for war. Stormtroopers force civilians from their homes and execute governments for not helping the war effort. Pleas for help are ignored as the senate sees the need for war materials and allows the excessive manufacturing and waste of these worlds. The rebellion is born.
Stormtroopers are given orders to kill Jedi by Palpatine who is now commander and chief of clone army. Stormtroopers reluctantly kill Jedi for being labelled traitors by Palpatine for trying to protect the worlds destroyed by manufacturing war materials. Most obey orders but not all. A small number of Jedi escape and go into hiding.
Obi-Wan finds the queen who has two new born twins. Luke is taken for protection with Obi-Wan and Leia goes with her mother to Alderaan.
Notes.
Darth Maul has hologram meetings with his master Palpatine throughout the 3 movies.
Anakin is only referred to as Darth Vader at the end of Episode 3 by Palpatine as he needs to be reborn as a Sith master to fulfil his destiny and make the Jedi pay for losing his queen. Anger clouds his judgement which is why he can't sense the queen or his children.
Some worlds that are seen and fought on that are harvested for war materials include Kashyyyk, Calamar and Sullust.
I'll try and flesh this out more but this is easier to understand and involves a minimum of politics.
I loved everything you have done. Not focusing so much on the elevator wasn't an issue because the amount of times they get into trouble aboard the ship it didn't require it. The fact it zoomed past just as they got to safety was all it needed.
Getting rid fo the buzz droids was awesome.
You guys make me wish your all worked at Lucasfilm and made it yourselves.
Well done.
I always thought the stormtroopers were robots when I was a kid and that Luke and Han must of taken them apart and removed the mechanical bits to put the suits on.
When Luke fell out the window on Bespin I thought he fell a long way down. I didn't realise there was a walkway just underneath.
Hello folks. I'm new here and I've read a bit of this thread not all of it though.
I will buy the Blu Ray releases just so I can legally download the fan versions later. They will probably not come out of shrink wrap. This is just for the original trilogy as I don't accept the prequels as the back story.
I don't even own a Blu Ray player.
I remember the missing the grappling the first time too. Wow that brought back memories.
Also I clearly remember the Han torture scene extended in Empire. Not just the stills of it but of the actual whole scene in the movie.
A long time ago that was.
Yep those were the ones. I only noticed it on my last watch of Empire and thought I'd bring it up. Glad you got it already.
All the best.
Adywan are you doing a fix for the scale of the TIE Fighters for Vaders fleet?
There is one shot of a TIE going behind the command section of a Star Destroyer that would make the TIE extremely large.
The scale being wrong happens a few times. I'm going off the fact the Star Destroyer is 1600m long I'm not sure if that is the case or not.
I thought perhaps remove TIEs that are wrong scale
Reduce them to make them in scale
or have them cut in front of the command section to remove scale problem.
Sorry I don't have any pics for reference just yet.
Wow Ive just finished downloading the DVD-9 version and watched it. The best movie ever just got better.
One thing I did notice was previously I downloaded the .avi version and there was 1 thing that wasn't fixed in that which is in the DVD-9 version. I actually PM'd Adywan about it to say he should fix it but in the DVD-9 version it has been done. I'm referring to the model mount which is visible on the back of Red Leaders X-Wing as Darth Vader is chasing him. On the .avi version its still there but in the DVD-9 version its fixed.
Thank you very much for doing this fan edit.
