Just had a moment to check my original FCP timeline and the sync is fine. So maybe I will send out a corrected version of the audio file. If somebody could tell me the best way to go about do that it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Address sent. Thanks Ady!
I just did the FHM Australia interview on the phone. It's going in the print magazine. Star Wars Begins second appearance in an Aussie publication! They are even going to send me a copy of the magazine.
It came about because one of their staff writers contacted fanedit.org trying to get in touch with me. They then passed on his details to me and I got in touch. All very cool. Apparently I get a cover girl of my choice too!
Thanks for your messages of support.
I've just checked my DVD copy of SWB. I have several generations and it seems that all but the one I sent out to you guys is fine as far as sync is concerned.
When life calms down a little I will go back and rectify.
Ady, would you be able to send me the NTSC version when its complete please?
Thanks
JD
And for those of you that don't already know, I look a bit like this bloke <---
Oh hang on, that is me. I get confused for Moby all the time.
Odd. I didn't notice the audio drift on my DVD. The film is actually broken up into three video and audio segments. I will have a look where it occurs when I have a free moment.

That's the beginning of the Making Empire, this thread is about, but it's only the first third/half.

I forgot to mention - I noticed the audio (the movie audio) went slightly out-of-sync in places. Did anyone else notice this or was it just me?
Thanks for doing this Adywan. I do intend at some point to do a PAL SPECIAL EDITION (groan) of Star Wars Begins with corrected audio. Perhaps once more new material comes to light with the blu ray release.
I am very grateful to you all. It's been a difficult few weeks. My girlfriend has quite been unwell. We have the results of an MRI scan tomorrow so things are rather stressful at the moment. The car accident I had yesterday didn't help.
Anyway, as an antidote to the difficulties in life, its always nice to come back here and read all the supportive comments from you guys with regards to Star Wars Begins.
I am doing an interview for FHM Australia this week. I will be sure to mention you guys.

Just had an amazing chat with Paul Hirsch, editor of Star Wars and Empire. Played me the temp cantina score. Benny Goodman, Avalon. Amzblls!
Thanks for your very considered review. Nice to put a face to a name finally.
To be honest I got a bit lost during the making of SWB with regards to what source material had. Due to the recovery process lots of the files got named as something else which was very confusing. At least 50 files were renamed SOURCE.
If I ever do a V3, maybe after the sept blubtay release. I will be sure to take your points on board.
Thanks

Wow! That is cool!!! Could you send the paper to me please? I am dying to have something in print! I am so pleased! Thanks for sharing.

This is the first disc in a LONG time where I didn't want to make a choice until the main menu finished its cycle. Masterful from the very first moment.
Thanks Moth3r. People don't seem to have embraced this project as far as making covers is concerned, which is a shame. I have a guy on the case, creating me a decent cover. I am quite happy with the one I made but I can't wait to see what he can do.
Watch this space.

No customisation. It is the second generation UK PS3(the one that can't play PS2 games). As long as the disc is NTSC region free, it has no problem.
I am sure if some of you guys were given an expensive car for free, you would say it was the wrong colour. Geez!
My PS3 plays both PAL and NTSC. Hmm.
I have found the mouse droid reference and it was my bad. The droid was conceived from a recast of one of Artoos by John Stears. It was not, as I hastily stated, a simple recast of his middle foot... Doh.
I must have been bloody tired.
JD
I sent out 20 copies at my expense to 6 different countries. Please do your bit and send someone a copy. Thanks.
Sluggo if nobody comes through for you, I will try my best.
I've just got back to the UK after a few days away on business. Are there any of you American based folks who I've already sent the dvd to, who could sort out Sluggo please? I have so much to do and am flying away again on Tuesday!
I am surprised that someone hasn't tormented the DVD yet.

I'm almost done with the YouTube, noticed in your reconstruction of Biggs and Luke in the hanger that it still didn't have the "knew your father" part, and no mention of it not being there. *shrug*

Hey guys, new here, so that might come off the wrong way, but I just wanted to contribute.
I watched Star Wars Begins on youtube and it's brilliant, just one little thing bugged me about the commentary. When the mouse droid gets scared away by Chewie it reads the mouse droid is a recast of R2's middle foot. That is simply wrong. Both the shape and especially the dimensions are completely different (I know that as I have researched R2 thoroughly for my droid build and also been active in the Mouse droid builders club). The mouse droid is considerably bigger than an R2 foot, at least twice as big, if not more.
Just thought I'd point that out, apart from that I enjoyed this a lot! So kudos to you :)I am trying to find out where I got that 'fact' from. It was something I chanced upon at the last minute. Hmm. Any ideas? I've got so much crap going round in my head.
A little bit of Googling came up with this post on a forum for action figure customisers. Could something like this be the source of that particular information?
No that wasn't it. I thought it may have been ElstreeProps or Andrew Ainsworth maybe...Annoying.

Thanks None, updated cover.
Yet think link is now dead. Any chance you could re-upload the cover please? I just love it.
So, the reviewer/youtube version is on demonoid, but has anyone uploaded the full DVD release anywhere yet? Be careful with your answers. Maybe a PM would be best.
Thanks, JD
As you may imagine, my head hurts.
Star Wars Begins has gone crazy. I've been replying to the most amazing and kind emails and comments, doing interviews and trying to keep track of twitter.
Now, to come back here and find AvPs amazing box set cover and all your kind comments, I am totally blown away. I need that box set cover! Stunning!
bkev, I'm not personally familiar with Kyle Hebert's work but it's so cool that people from all walks of life and from all around the world are enjoying my films.
Today I did an interview for Moveifone/Cinematical/Aol. And I've just seen that Star Wars Begins is featured on wired.com blogs. Theforce.net too, as you say. Amazing!
I woke up to 284 emails this morning. Another 150 arrived on the next few hours. How? WHY, has this struck such a chord with people?
Anyway, all good and who knows I might get some work related interest at some point. If not, maybe i will tackle Blade Runner, Alien or Raiders one day.
Thanks again for all your help and support. Oh and do go ahead uploading it anywhere you like!
JD
