Save Star Wars Dot Com

It might be a good idea to cover this (recent interview with GL, where he talks about going out of the movie business because of "fanboys")  in some serious manner - like dissect where and why he's either deliberately lying as usual or at least is totally missing the point. All in a civil manner, with hard evidence instead of emotions. I believe that Michael would be a perfect guy for the job.

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

OK, here's the next half an hour of the WP:

http://www.uloz.to/12777696/deed-v2-0-wp2-2-mp4

It's basically a continuation of the 2nd WP and shows the Death Star sequence. Because it's not the whole film from the beginning, I decided to use a hardcoded timecode. Also, the colours are not final, I'd like you to focus on any technical errors if you can.

Well, that's the thing, I quite like Boba too, or rather I like the character as he was introduced in ESB; a mysterious, ruthless, clever bounty hunter who only cares if he gets paid. In ROTJ he basically became just one of Jabba's cohorts (which was only reinforced by his even stupider appearance in ANH SE), and a pretty lame one at that, seeing as how all his attempts to stop Luke prove completely fruitless and then he dies because he can't control his own jet-pack... If I like a character, it doesn't mean I'll enjoy seeing him no matter how lame his actions on screen. It's kind of similar to the way lightsabres were way overused in the prequels - everybody loves lightsabres, they're cool, they're possibly the coolest weapon in a movie ever, so the more the better, right? Wrong! In the OT lightsabres weren't overused, so whenever we saw one, it was like "oh yeah, this is cool!" You don't get that feeling in the prequels, because there's a lightsabre on screen like 80% of the film's runtime.

I thought most, if not all, the ROTJ deleted scenes were in fact HD? My feeling about this sort of thing is that if you're going to put this much effort into something, you should try to make it at least somewhat future-proof. I mean, look at Adywan, he decided to stick with SD for ANH:R and he's already planning to redo it in HD.

To me, 720p is the best compromise, you get the resolution of an average 35mm print, so it should be presentable on pretty much any size of screen, and yet it isn't much more difficult to work with than SD even on slower hardware and you can upscale SD footage to 720p with reasonably good results. I believe these are the same reasons why Ady decided to go with 720p for his projects.

But it's of course completely up to you guys - your project, your rules :-)

It would probably be better to keep the talk about DeEd off any official SW sites. The "now I don't have to buy the blu-rays and GL can kiss my ass because I have this version" kind of post are especially worrisome and should be avoided. The official stance (both mine and this site's) is that in order to download these, you should have the official blu-rays and I'd prefer this stance to be repeated every time this is posted about (obviously not in every post of every thread everywhere but in the first post or the first time mentioning it).

SW as a phenomenon is extremely played out. Dogs barking Imperial March in commercials? Don't care. 3D rerelease? Don't care.

 nope. wrong picture.  that text is supposed to say 'i can't believe he's gone'

You had the ot.com meme correct until you tried to correct the text.  Also you are supposed to yell "WRONG PICTURE."

Who cares if it's the WRONG PICTURE?

All the links are down.

Now, I deleted all the MU links from tehparadox (they were offline anyway) and I'll probably wait a while and see how the situation is going to develop before re-uploading anywhere else (I probably won't even bother reuploading SW v1.0).

Didn't the Ewok movies come out on DVD? But I believe this was discussed before and the quality of any available transfer isn't really good enough to upscale and crop. What I think it could be used for would be using it for some background Ewoks, making them really small in the frame (thus avoiding having to upscale the source.)
