Just re-watched the featurette Harmy did about the sources, which is shockingly good, and was wondering if the You_Too preliminary color corrected source was ever made available. Anyone know? It would do nicely if I ever wanted to put together a project of sorts for ANH or the other two.
DV: "The Force is with you, young Skywalker."
Luke: "The Force?"
DV: "...Now the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, it... Luke. You are not a Jedi yet."
I'd enjoy a Death Troopers movie.

Can someone recreate the deleted Jabba Scene? from "a new hope" with? the actor Declan Mulholland in HD? The available version of a reconstruction is bad because you can see the stencils and the quality differences of the sources, also a color correction is missing.
And I also want to see the final version from 1997 in HD, with and without original cinema subtitles. If someone needs some source, I have a DVD Transfer from a 1997 German Laserdisc, with original German cinema subtitles.
And color correction & picture cleaning of the official Blu Ray deleted scenes would also be nice.
It's been attempted, but there's not enough source material to do it 100%. The most that can be done still has a few seconds of CGI Jabba. It wouldn't suffice in a proper edit.
I've heard about a Japanese Laserdisc that has the original version of the scene, though I don't know if it would be enough to do what you're asking.
Oh, I have zero expectation for this EU knowledge to actually play into the films. However, now would be the best time to explore the post-ROTJ EU as the film approaches. As long as Episode VII doesn't out and out preclude the broad strokes of the EU, things should be fine.
Episode VII: Generations
Episode VIII: First Contact
Episode IX: Insurrection
Episode X: Nemesis
Episode XI: Star Wars
Episode XII: Star Wars Into Darkside

Well they could not add young Han to ROTS but they made a Lego young Han minifigure for the Lego Star Wars movie The Padawan Menace
Yeah, exactly.
I guess nobody liked Leonardo's joke. Anyway, I've got a stocked Kindle (app) and a revised, though still ambitious, reading list. I've got a good 2+ years for all this catch up reading, and I can always skip some of these if my time grows short. I don't need to read every solitary book that's come out in this time period, though I do want to get a good sense of events and character development.
I'm reading the Thrawn trilogy right now, as everyone says this is the more important. I like it so far; he seems to understand the characters. Afterward...
The Dark Empire comic series. Because why not.
I, Jedi - I'll read this one in place of the Jedi Academy trilogy for efficiency.
The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy
The Corellian trilogy
Hand of Thrawn Duology
Union: The Marriage of Luke Skywalker (comic) - Again, because why not.
New Jedi Order - An abbreviated run of just five entries: Vector Prime, Star by Star, Traitor, Destiny's Way, and The Unifying Force
I would appreciate suggestions of which are the essential reads of the Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi serieses. They're recent enough that I haven't found a reliable description of which ones are the barebones essentials.
Now, this may be entirely too much content to shove into a relatively short time. I may go in spurts, but that's my goal. If I start to run out of time or get tired of it, I can go back to the abridged audiobooks for some of these. I haven't read a Star Wars novel since I was a kid, really, and I'm enjoying Heir to the Empire so far. We'll see. (And I might knock off the Black Fleet Crisis and/or Corellian trilogies in order to skip ahead if need be.)
Actual toast is better than what I usually get out of that app. Maybe I expected too much from it for crunching things down onto DVDs.
That Yoda origin story would... not make me happy.
ALLOL
Do you have any plans to maybe put the Episode 4 ANH crawl in there too? :P
That's cool, just wondered what your plans were.
Do you have any plans to include the '81 version of the opening crawl with "Episode IV: A New Hope" as an alternate option for the BluRay?
+1 for Toast
or VMware.
I found RLM's prequel reviews somewhat therapeutic, or at the very least fun.
Did somebody say there was a version of Yub Nub without lyrics? A musical rendition might be an interesting compromise between OOT and SE endings.

And yes, there is actually more detail there, the grain just helps to fill in and remove any digital artifacts.
That is fascinating to me. Could you elaborate a bit on that? Isn't it just like re-sharpening a blurred image?
well he might need his job to pay for things like softwear and chips to eat; all the basic essentials of fan editing.
do you know what sections or chapters your documentary will be divided into? maybe a behind the scenes part could be called "a view of the bottom"
Huh. That's really amazing; it seems very counterintuitive that adding noise to the video would improve its look and seemingly bring out detail.
Does it really bring out detail, or is it just our perception? That's a serious question; it looks that great.
Let me put on my dunce hat and ask a stupid question. Wouldn't 35mm grain be more authentic for the OT than 70mm, even if 70mm looks better?
tomorrow? so it should be finished by end of day?
And how Episode VII will be shot, ideally. Looking forward to this greatly.
Do you have, or have access to, a Mac?

And there's the thread. Goodnight, everybody. *locked*
No, just stumbled onto it.
I am interested to hear any and all of your ideas, man. I sympathize with not feeling up to tackling a fan edit. I, fortunately, am in the process of doing a set right now. I'd love to give more ideas a hearing!
