I just assumed you were caled a Master when you took on a student. But it does sort of demean the title if that is the case. I'm sure the EU has an explanation for the difference.

He's a descendent of Luke and is a smuggler.

The art for it looks horrid as well as the story line.

And as far as budget is concerned, I think ST: The Motion Picture finaled out at $40 million(give or take). Most people hate ST:TMP. I just found it boring for sunsequent viewings after the initial excitement of seeing it opening night.

So $40 million budget, mediocre film.
$11 million superior film. Go figure.

I wouldn't say Yoda was ruined. But he was definitely tainted.

But I'm voting for LUKE. for many of the reasons already cited.

Um, CO, Wrath of Kahn's special effects were done by Lucas and Co. ILM did the effects for Star Trek II, III, IV, VI, VII, and VIII. Though I believe the Genesis Video was outsourced as ILM didn't do CG at the time. So how ILM could've been ahead of itself...

At a budget of 11,000,000, that's only 2 million under Star Wars, and 7 under Empire. So I don't see how that makes it any more "low budget" than Star Wars. It's not an astronomical figure, but certainly not a B movie like the term "low budget" suggests.

Zombie, yes it did recycle footage from The Motion Picture. This is however due to the shear abundant amount shot for that film. It was felt that instead of wasting money shooting establishing shots, a couple of shots from TMP could be edited and fit in. They even reused models. I'm sure if they hadn't you'd be hear saying how they wasted money, which they would've. It's a wonderful exercise in intelligent cost cutting. This was done to conserve money for the Mutara Nebula sequence, which I still think is one of the best examples of model effects on film.

For what the film called for, I'd say Wrath of Kahn is easily on par with the classic trilogy in terms of how models can exceed CGI.

I really liked that battle. Reminds me a little of "The Enemy Below."

I think the Genesis animation was done by JPL but I could be wrong.

The DEFINITIVE collection will be pricey in all likelyhood, but the Faces set I think is pretty darn good quality. I have both.

Say what you want about the effects, but the computer animation of the Genesis Effect was TOP O' DA LINE at that time. There was nothing like it.

Besides, STII had far more story than the entire PT put together.

It had more emotion to it than the PT for sure. I'll take over-acting by Shatner any day over wooden acting by Hayden.

College

I started in '83, dropped out in '86 and went back 15 years later. Changed majors and basically started from scratch.

I belive he's referring to the laserdiscs and VHS.

Oh, yes, right, so let me get my vinyl long play hi-fi stereo to listen to the long lost Tron soundtrack, which is available on its original form only in a Long Play vinyl disc. I mean, everyone has one of these at home, right? Along with the 8mm film camera, and the black and white TV set, a typewriter, a beeper...

I have a turntable still. And i just used it the other day to listen to Williams' Dracula 1979 score.

Yoda

and

Luke

Both Yoda and Vader were tainted in the PT, but Yoda was still essentially Yoda, despite the Crouching Tiger stunts. Vader was whiny Anakin -- tainted even more so by that self parodying "Noooooo!" I chose Luke because he could do what Obi Wan could not, bring Vader around and back to the light.

I have:

Anakin Ep II
Anakin Ep III
Luke ROTJ version 2.0
Vader Ver 1
Vader Ver 2
Mace Windu

I have another Anakin Ep II with the blade removed so it can be worn too.

I'm going to get the Darth Maul ones next.
Hopefully they will have the Obi Wan ones at Comic Con

New set.

I looked up some information on the mistake on other sites. So I put disc in my DVD ROm drive and checked the file date of the TS_VIDEO files. It's the newer ones.

And I wonder what Lucas would have done is Williams had refused to score any additional music for the Special Editions in '97 or '04. Or did he purposely write Jedi Rocks as a mockery or joke thinking they'll really hate it?
