I did actually get a a quote from a company willing to transfer the two ESB reels I have. It was a couple of hundred quid and so I decided not to do it at the time. But if we could get a fund together, maybe we could get this done.

What do you think?

MoveAlong, thanks for 'The Story of Star Wars' , I finally got home today and it was in my pile of post.

I haven't watched it ALL yet but from what I have seen it's a VERY professional looking disc! Congratulations on doing such a great job.

I am looking forward to devoting some time to watch the whole disc. And of course I can't wait for other releases from you. I love that Move Along logo too, nice job!

MoveAlong, thanks firstly for 'The Story of Star Wars' , I got home today and it was in my pile of post.

I haven't watched it all yet but from what I have seen it's a VERY professional looking disc! Congratulations on doing such a great job.

Thanks also for the offer of help.

The good news is my Mac is up and running after the update scare. It was not booting basically and after some trouble shooting I found that there was a conflict with 10.4.7 and my Canon scanner Login items. Very that it would cause it not to boot, but hey, I am a happy man again.

Thanks for the offer of the Hi-Res Sandstorm photos, I have actually sources some already thanks the the kind folks on this forum.

All the best
JD

POSSIBLE BAD NEWS ALERT

My wife just called to say that she installed the Mac OSX 10.4.7 update and now the machine won't start.

I am away on business and have been reading up about this problematic update which has been causing problems for people across the world.

Several posts mention that the system disc can become corrupted and that there will be data loss.

Some of 'Returning to Jedi' is on my external drives but there is also some on my main system drive along with everything else.

This could mean there is a massive delay on it's release or it could mean that I will not have the time or motivation to start again.

I will bring you up to date when I get back home on wednesday.

Toby was the guy in the Yellow top controlling Jabba's left arm and the head swivel.

Thanks guys for your input. This is as much your project as it is mine (well...you know what I mean).

I thought I would open things up and ask you to submit some questions that you would like answered.

So, have you ever wondered how long Toby spent inside Jabba each day, or if he could see down Carrie's bikini? Then just post your questions on this forum and I will try include them in my interview.

Many Thanks
JD

I wish I could think of some questions, but I can't, other than how many weeks/months of his life were spent in Jabba's guts. That is great, though, that you've got him on board for this. Real classy.

Are you going to sneak in GL commenting on how special effects without a story is no good (from From Star Wars To Jedi)?

It's disappointing that nobody wants to submit a question. I would appreciate a little input here people!

I won't spoil it with all my ideas published on the forum Andy, but yes Georgy boy will be saying that.

Also, it seems like it gets overlooked a lot, but Leia kisses Luke at the end of ESB, in his bed on the Falcon. Why doesn't anyone make a big deal of that, like they do the kiss on Hoth?

I have always enjoyed Kershners commentary. He is very matter of fact, and doesn't get bogged down in theory too much. And I have always assumed that he is Jewish yes.

As for the Luke/Leia kiss on the Falcon, it's more affectionate and less passionate (like the cut one) or deliberate (like the one in the medical room on Hoth). I decided not to really talk about the Luke/Leia kisses in 'Building Empire' as I felt that it has been covered to the point of cliche. The Easter Egg shows what I believe to be Lucas demostrating that he hadn't written the sibling relationship into the story as early as you might think.

I can't confirm it by any means but Widescreen Fox vhs's generally have a 'WIDESCREEN' banner at the top of the spine.

I just wanted to draw your attention to a project that a colleague and friend of mine has completed. He went the commercial route and for that, and all his hard work, he must be praised to the hilt.

You can read about it here and buy it here

I am happy for people to do most things as long as they don't sell it.

Any alternations, even conversion to NTSC should be mentioned clearly though.

E.g "Jambe Davdar's 'Building Empire' main feature converted to NTSC by ....."

Thanks

The are a couple of different Trailers for the video releases here in the UK. From memory there is at least one great one (I liked it anyway), from the original widescreen releases.

"So you think you've seen the whole of the Star Wars legend on video?..... Well think again!"

Have you got that one already?

Well, that's a little harsh. But I know what you mean. It would be quite a job to do it. Particularly when I have so much else happening!

Thanks for you interest.

But if there were no other option, I might seriously consider it. But thanks for considering doing this version, I know I won't be the only one who'd appreciate it.

Did I say I was doing an NTSC version??! I'm sorry, but I don't have time to do that at the moment.
