Just make them books. You can imagine it to be great, even if it's not!
Also, you get the screen name award.

Adywan did a great job with that but I can't use it for my own releases because however good it is, its never been part of the official releases.
Just for the record, Adywan's version of the ESB Emperor scene isn't available on its own somewhere, is it?
Waiting on Frink.
I shouldn't encourage you, but next month.
I'd be interested if anyone wanted to share their personal approach to spoilers, either for Ep7 or their experience with the prequels.
I enjoy the speculation phase that we've been in so far, and nothing is out there that I would consider a spoiler at this point. To me, a spoiler comes from someone who knows for a fact what happens in the film. These were a problem during the release of the prequels toward the end when things like the comic adaptation or novelization were released a month or more before the film. Once the film is more or less finished, and is gearing up for release, real leaks of hardcore spoilers is possible. But until then, even if they are correct, speculation and rumors don't bother me.
That being said, what I plan to do is go ahead and consume all news and rumors I come across without censorship until closer to the release date. Somewhere around, say, October I will then require myself to immediately click away or avert my eyes or ears when I hear any sort of spoiler warning. I can still peruse Star Wars sites and listen to podcasts, but react to avoid spoilers with hopefully at least mild success. Next, on the arbitrary date I set a year ago of November 8, I will begin a Star Wars internet blackout. I'll temporarily remove bookmarks to all Star Wars sites, stop updating any podcasts or RSS feeds. Anything on TV other than a commercial or spot I'll have to avoid too. And for the record, the release of the soundtrack would have to be released prior to this date for me to listen to it before the film; I will probably choose not to, but I reserve that right so long as it falls before my cutoff date. There should be a few Ep7-related books or things put out before then that I can save to read during this time.
Of course, once the film is out there will be much to catch up on. More than anything else, I'm looking forward to watching all 7 with my young niece. Star Wars has that about it, something adults and children can enjoy together.
What are you all planning to do about spoilers?
They have to exist first.
Not a helpful comment, but I love the 1997 SE mix of ANH.
ALLOL to help me get through my day
Bane was first mentioned in the Phantom Menace novelization, and has an origin distinct from his EU career.
Personally, I hope Luke is or was married, and has offspring. While it wouldn't be a dealbreaker, I'd hate to see Luke as a celibate monk-type Jedi like in the PT.
And that's what makes you so classy. Thanks for the seeds; it's much appreciated.

In despecialized trilogy its green :(
Make sure what you downloaded was the actual Despecialized Edition. There seems to be a lot of re-encodes and just mislabeled crap out there.
Not sure if Possessed the being who possesses Possessed read the last few posts before making that joke.
Comedy, and nuanced in-jokes.
And all I can say is it'll be done when it's done. My CPU can only crunch numbers so fast. Believe me, I'd choose to already have it be finished if it could go faster.
There's a reason why this is the one forum I've stuck with the most by far. Anyway, Ep3 is ready to go, but Ep2 has to encode and upload in full before it'll be released. There's nothing holding it up other than th necessary time required to get Ep2 out there.
Good news, everyone. I've gone ahead and put the 1080p version of V3 on the 'spleen. The other two will follow.
And yes, it's got the purple kool-aid saber. I may eventually release a V3B (B for blue) with the blue saber when it is completed. But personally, I think it's less questionable to leave the saber unaltered for the main release. (It'll be less than perfect since one has to lighten the surrounding glow rather than darken it.)
As always, the .info page will be updated once all three versions are established, and so will come later.
*actual literal cringe* Good luck. I feel lucky not to have suffered computer trouble, when I think about how often I hear about it happening to us. Fingers crossed for you.
No. He's not had time yet to finish it, and has personal things going on. And it takes about a solid week for me to encode each version. Any ETA would be useless; it's just when he finishes his rotoscoping. But be patient; there's no real deadline for this.
I do not know that. I would think so, but we haven't talked about it.
No, that's too much information out of nowhere. It need to be just enough to allow for her to live a few years and imply she will ultimately die from her injuries from Anakin. The jist is that she is going to live but she's hurt enough that she will die from it eventually. Because I'm not changing the thoroughly 'prequell' nature of the movie (compared to Q2, for example), I have the theoretical advantage of the viewer already having seen ROTJ. If they haven't, then this is merely reason #47 why it doesn't work well to see them chronologically on one's first viewing. Even so, it would leave her final fate hanging until you get to ROTJ.
^Episode II is waiting on some FX work from Jackpumpkinhead. He's rotoscoping Sam Jackson's lightsaber blue. Once it's done I can begin encoding immediately.
The very last one was meant as a joke, but the first part alone is okay. I'm not sure if referencing her "will to live" is a bit too on the nose and counterproductive.
Here's some ideas for phrasing. Any thoughts are helpful.
She has sustained severe injuries. I cannot say how long she might survive. We are preparing to deliver the babies. She's carrying twins.
Her injuries are severe, but she is fighting for survival. I cannot say how long she might last. We're preparing to deliver the babies.
Her injuries are rather severe. She is stable, but I cannot say how long she might last. We're preparing to deliver the babies.
Her injuries are severe. I cannot say how long she might last, but her determination is evident. We're preparing to deliver the babies.
Despite her severe injuries, she has a strong will to survive. I cannot say how long she might last. We are preparing to deliver the babies.
She has a strong will to live, despite her severe injuries. I bet she'd live long enough for at least one of the babies to remember her.
I won't repeat what I said at FE.org, but thank you!
Here's a new version of the scene, slightly different from before. I hated this part the most because of my own voice coming into play at a crucial moment. It is not too late if anyone would like to record the lines themselves and send them to me, or post them here. Ideally, it'd be someone else's voice! I have the affect roughly what I'd like, or somewhere between what I've done and what the robot sounded like originally.

Yoda seems eager to let major issues slide with Ezra that he is very critical of with Luke. I guess his metamorphisis into a crank is only about 65% complete by this point.
