Hey Magfan, would you say it'd be wise to plan on buying (from Rikter or who-ever) Dual-layered versions of BOTF and the then-updated TCW along with your EPIII edit when it comes time to purchase it in 2005-6 ish?

Wow, thanks a bunch!

Those are exactly what I'm looking for!

I'll get to work right now on completing my MagnoliaFan prequel covers for y'all.

Hey thanks!

That one isn't really big enough to make a DVD cover with... but thanks a lot.

Is it just me, or are the transfers of BOTF and TCW that Rikter is distributing have the brightness a bit high?
I find myself darkening the picture when I watch them.
Not trying to complain, just wondering.

Could someone please help me with a dilema I'm having with making MagnoliaFan covers?

I'm more or less finished with the covers (which are really nothing more than cannabilizing
other covers into one custom and adding a few things), but I have a problem.
I do not know how to use Photoshop. I've done all this on MS Paint.

Here they are:

Now as you can see, the front cover has a big problem. Under the logos, the added titles "Balance of the Force"
and "The Clone War" look like crap. That's because I am using a crappy
program and can't do any better.

Can somebody with Photoshop touch up that little area of the covers and email it back to me?
My email is kmshelton@earthlink.net

Thanks so much in advance. Sorry to ask such a thing, but I *am* only 14 and have no clue about photo editing.

Interesting.

What is Han and Chewie had been up there leading the Death Star attack while Lando was on Endor fighting with the shield?

That would probably scew up the Han/Leia love thing, but...

But with top-notch video editors on our hands at these forums, certainly we can get special work done to include what is deemed the best for an ultimate DVD collection eventually.

Patience. Don't cave into the official DVDs. Hold out for a DVD from here.

I just think ROTJ lacks a certain quality of "re-watchability".

This would be the one most likely to get worn out in your mind to the point of boredom.

Sebastian is just perfect there.

As you said, Luke saw Anakin's true face after facing all the things and events throughout the saga.

And then his ghost is basically what he would have looked like had he not had all those injuries.

But Hayden??!!??!?! I will never accept that change at all. I refuse to.
And I shouldn't have to. So I won't.

Hopefully the EpIII edit will not be very drastic at all. And judging from the teaser trailer, it might not have to be.

Obviously, Episode I had more of what I'd consider to be a full overhaul. Many things were drastically changed about it.

Episode II also had major things and aspects changed, but not nearly as drastically.

My *hope* for Episode III is that only a few trivial tweaks, cuts and smoothings are made. Because it looks like it will be awesome enough already. Ideally, the only alterations would be things such as Jar Jar and Dooku's saber to ensure continuity.
Oh and about preserving the ESB surprise... I'm all for it BUT not if it involves a super-huge altering of the ending. I mean, that would be great to have ESB remain a secret, but it doesn't really seem like that will be possible.

The second we get a title confirmed from the master editor himself, MagnoliaFan, I'll get right to work on covers.

What a relief to know that John Kerry AND John Edwards will never have power as president and vice-president. I shudder to think what could have happened as a result of their arrogance and stupidity.

Wouldn't it be cool if Episode III required next to no editing done except for continuity things like Jar Jar, Neimodians, Dooku's saber, etc. for MagnoliaFan's edit? Just a thought.

Hopefully the plot won't be changed a whole lot. I know he's trying to keep the "father" line in ESB a surprise, so hopefully EpIII will allow him to do that without having to drastically change the ending.

By that logic, I may as well stick with my TR47 set. My DVD player rocks, and since it's a pretty faithful transfer it should be about the same.

So... does anybody including MagnoliaFan himself know anything about the EpIII edit? And/or what it's going to be called?

Any idea of what kind of edits may happen? This is probably way to soon to be thinking about it, but just wondering.
After all... this will be my *definitive* version the final installment of the Star Wars prequel backstory.

What exactly did you change back to original version, and are you planning anything for Eps V and VI?

And to what point does the quality loss go? Is it fairly close the original sources?

I was just at Best Buy, and saw the DVDs on the stand.

ANd boy, I was tempted. I saw them beign played on their big screen TV and just..... stared. I stared at the incredible picture! Fabulous!
I picked up the set. I set it back down. I picked it back up, I set it back down. I picked it back up, carried it around a bit, then put it back down.

I swear if it wasn't for me SHEER LACK of fifty dollars... I might have caved in.
But remembering that GOD AWFUL GHOST DECAPITATION, I am so glad I didn't.

Besides, are Rikter and MebeJedi and MagnoliaFan not planning on an edited version of the DVDs with no changes? I say wait for this.

Surely *that* would be worthy of causign me to shit my pants.
