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.

Great, then! I'll try that out; thankyousir.

It's okay, PumpkinMan. There's no real deadline or anything. I think I will go ahead an release a 1080p V3b of Eps 2 and 3 as a Myspleen exclusive in the meantime. If Jackson returns for a Windu spinoff film or other such nonsense, we'll be ready for it. 

Someone else advised that Qui-Gon's voice was too loud, so I've taken it down a little. I listened to ANH and tried to have this voice roughly match that one. I'll try a little reverb and see how it sounds. That and recording the slight variation in the medical droid's dialogue.

I didn't really remove Dooku's Sith alter ego, just removed the name Darth Tyrannus because throwing a second name for him into the mix only obscured him even more. We didn't get much of him to begin with. Even if the scene with him and Sidious is removed from the end of Ep2, there's still enough in Ep3 to cement him into that role.

Anyway, I did not know that Clone Wars had a yellow lightsaber; that's pretty cool. It's not me doing the rotoscoping, so I'm merely utilizing what Jackpumpkinhead is doing anyway. 

better graphics in high def. gotta have moar defs

That seems pretty convoluted, and personally there was never a question about what color Anakin's saber would be. It's the saber that went to Luke, therefore it is blue. Introducing a red saber through fan editing adds a host of questions that need rationalizations, as you demonstrated. 

Two other minor saber FX I wouldn't mind would be to give Plo Koon a yellow saber and Ki Adi Mundi a purple one, matching their pre-2002 depictions and implying the possibility of other saber colors out there while keeping the vast majority the standard blue or green. Their two sabers are only onscreen in AOTC for about twenty seconds, plus Ki Adi Mundi's death scene in ROTS.

Thank you for the dialogue suggestions, sir. I quite like the third one; it sounds medically professional. I'll try recording it several times. As long as I can convince myself that one of the takes is okay, I'll put it in. Its rough to use my own voice. A commentary is one thing, but it's gotta be up to snuff if it's gonna be in the actual movie.
