Jeez, Jimbo.

Can you accept an apology without getting a big head about it?

This is how I plan no packaging my DVDs in the (hopefully) near future:
Each case is a single case with an extra holder inside so it can hold two discs.

Case one:

Tr47 Star Wars
De-SEized Star Wars Official DVD (by whoever eventually completes them and makes them avaiable)

Case Two:

Tr47 Empire Strikes Back
De-SEized Empire Strikes Back Official DVD

Case Three:

Tr47 Return of the Jedi
De-SEized Return of the Jedi Offical DVD

Case Four:

The Phantom Menace
Balance of the Force

Case Five:

Attack of the Clones
The Clone War

Case Six:

Revenge of the Sith
MagnoliaFan Edit of ROTS

(For the extra discs for TPM and AOTC and ROTS i will set aside in sleeves on their own, since I dont really care much for them)

Yes, that sounds awesome.

(Good call about the LD sound, btw.)

Where did all of this "rule of two" shit come from?

Is it just that one line of Yoda's in Ep1? I think you're reading too far into it.

Yes, Balance is totally different.

To be frank, I didn't really think the "Phantom Edit" really helped the movie much. They just cut stuff out and that was it.

Balance of the Force cuts and trims little tiny things that you might not even notice at first, and even adds interesting things to it as well.

The Phantom Menace = embarrasing
Balance of the Force = what *i* would bring to a party, in place of TPM

Hehe.

Ah yes, the Back to the Future DVD release.

The widescreen was messed up. Misframed, it was.

They offered a service where you could send in your purchased DVDs, and they'd send you corrected ones.
And being the BTTF nut that I am, I did right away. I love BTTF.

And... that doesn't really tie into the subject, but I just had to mention it.

A 6box set with 12 discs would be SWEET. Two versions for each film.

Original included, I'd buy it. It'd be worth it.

^^^Yes. Upon seeing more screencaps between the two, TR47 seems to have overall higher sharpness and detail.

They are both awesome however. Don't read bad meaning into what I'm saying.

As amazing as the MeBeJedi version sounds and seems, the TR47 version seems to look a bit sharper and better in picture quality in those screenshots.
We need to have a downloadable video file of one scene of like the official version, TR47, and MeBeJedi. Or any combination of "versions".

I mean a full sized video download of one scene for multiple versions for comparison.

I agree about the John Kerry thing.

All joking aside, 99% of voters that are voting for him don't know crap about what is actually going on and vote for him because someone on TV said to.

Yes. Perhaps for any more separate "special feature" discs any of us seek after making should be with relatively recenty things like the "Empire of Dreams" and what you said above. That might be a good idea.

A newspaper I found whilst making a "paper hat" for a stupid game we were playing at a lock-in, I saw a picture of Yoda with the caption:

"Suck these changes do. Crying on the inside am I."

The rest of the article was unreadable b/c it was cut and snipped up.

I just downloaded your Emperor's Phone Call edit there.
It obviously could be improved by what you just responded to.

But as far as where the cuts are to be made, it's good. Assuming the music can be worked out, the scene is much better than the DVD version.
And yes, it would be great to have his eyes masked by shadow.

But great job, buddy!

But if you ask someone like me, Star Wars is still about Luke Skywalker.
The prequels are mere backstory. The OT is the main story.

It's like a little kid who has few toys, and a great imagination.
He can turn a stick into a raygun and do anything with anything. This is the FX Lucas of the seventies and eighties.

Versus a kid with lots of toys with no imagination.
This is the kind of person that the "malfuntioning R5-D4" toy was made for. This is the CGI Lucas of now.
