Stop talking about yourself please.

Nice try, you're not going to fool me into saying something that would reveal my identity.

Hello, have been visiting this thread over the past few days, and I had a few questions I was wondering if anyone could clarify.

First, about the THINGS NOT BEING DONE:

 

   1. Not adding landing crafts to deploy AT-ATs.
   2. Not making the AT-AT lasers green.
   3. Not making it so the fleet jumps to lightspeed just before the credits.
   4. Not adding Mon Cal ships to the Rebel Fleet at the end.
   5. Not adding music from the prequels or music that wasn't originally in the movie.
   6. Not adding Luke's vision so it can be seen like Anakin's in ROTS.
   7. Not adding anything just because its in the Expanded Universe.  The EU doesn't exist for the purposes of this edit.

 

Are these not being done because they'd take too much effort, or are they things that exist but have been chosen for directoral reasons not to be added (besides #7 of course)?

Just my own observation, but I imagine #6 isn't being done because those scenes look fucking atrocious.  I hated Anakin's 'visions'.

OMG as soon as I read that, I thought to myself, "would GL be crazy enough to add that to ESB?" I think he just might be.

Who's Janskeet?!

Apparently I sound just like him. I've read a little bit of his work on here and his generous contributions to Adywan's project inspired me to contribute too. I liked his green lasers segment on "Classic LOL moments", TV's Frink. I suggest you add the segment where he complains about the opening scroll of ANH Revisited not being to his liking and he gets into an argument with ChainsawAsh saying, "I don't care how it was originally intended, I want it to be the way I want it."

I didn't think ESB really had any deleted scenes outside of that scene "You should wear girls clothes more often" shown in Empire of Dreams. Other than that is was just outtakes. Sometime movies just fall into place and don't have a lot of deleted footage. ESB is an example of that, what other movies are examples of that?

Adywan, I like the idea of having Greedo's head on fire in the end of this shot, do you think you would be interested in that for your next Revisit?

ANH always struck me as almost a western more than a space opera. Sure there are space battles, but the way the movie is filmed feels like a western. Even in the final attack on the death star, the way the film focuses mostly on the characters reaction instead of the space battle seemed very attune with a western.

I am disinclined to acquiesce your request.

I think the 97 version has very good color, and it still has Sebastian Shaw, the worst change is still untampered with in this version.

I'm not Janskeet, I'm Ghostbusters.

I want my 30 seconds I wasted reading that and typing this back.

I think all the businesses going bankrupt and downsizing has to do with the opposite effect. Less and less people in this country have disposable income due to their jobs being lost from outsourcing and increasing costs of living. Let alone people are being forced to take pay cuts when wages have been stagnate for 30 years while inflation and costs of healthcare have increase at an exponential rate. People are losing their pensions, retirement savings and now Republicans are threatening to get rid of Social Security even though the system has been proven time and time again to be solvent. How are people suppose to feel comfortable spending on optional items in this kind of economy with these politicians are browbeating fear into us that all safety nets may be cut away?

I've been going over youtube videos of Greedo shooting first and I came across these hilarious ones:

But this one it gave me an idea Adywan. Maybe we could have Greedo shoot first a couple of times while he is talking to Han, but have him deliberately miss to threaten Han.

Hey Adywan, do you think by the time you get back to remaking this you will be able to fix the red stripes seen on all the X-wings?

Here another making of book I found: http://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Galaxy-Journal-Strikes/dp/0345290755/ref=pd_sim_b_2

I might have to get these.

Yeah I believe that is the guy's name. Thanks

I love those mint Oreos.

I've seen books that are about the cosmos and mythology that mention Star Wars in them, but are not particularly about star wars. I used to have one of those books in my basement. but after everything has moved around so many times I don't know where it went. I've seen that PBS documentary about that one dude who helped George Lucas write Star Wars, I can't think of his name at the moment (what was his name) who big into mythology. Hopefully you guys can help me out?

There is a book on the making of ROTJ already out: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Star-Wars-Return-Jedi/dp/034531235X

There is a lot of making of Star Wars (ANH) books. http://www.amazon.com/Making-Star-Wars-Definitive-Original/dp/0345494768

Is this the 30th anniversary edition?

I thought you liked me Bingowings? By the way, my office chair is facing the window so you would have a much better shot at my head.

Hello everybody, I'm back online, did you miss me? I just got back from a long day at Borders. I was looking through the book "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back." Man what a great book. I was amazed at how great the photo quality of behind the scenes footage was. I didn't find "The making of Return of the Jedi" there. I was really surprised that Lucas didn't screw up the books forcing SE footage in them and try to make it out like they were like that all along.

Nuh-uh.  Nuh-uh.  I caught that.  Don't pretend you didn't say it!

I changed it in case this gets to the courts, I can use that as evidence to plead insanity.

what did I say?

Are the mods on vacation or something? One job I was thinking about doing was becoming a forum moderator. I don't know if my resume is the most pristine for this position, but I think I would be good at it. Jay, how much do forum moderators get paid? What kind of education and experience are you looking for? Are there any internships open for originaltrilogy.com?

oh God the pain, reading his posts is hurting my brain. Are there truly people this stupid?

Calm down it's just a joke.

^lol

You really should choose your education over this place if you can't handle both.

I would rather spend the rest of my life on this forum living with my mom than study this crap. Remember I have that app idea that will make me millions so I don't have to worry about money, oh and it is not MS paint on an ipod or whatever somebody said.
