I went with some of your advice and I revised the poster. It has no logo because well. I could'nt make a good one so anyone can put a logo on it. And yes the moon is gone.

Were you thinking of something like this?

By the time you get around to the prequels they will be on Blu Ray, with new transfers and a CG Yoda in TPM so the coloring isssues may well be moot.

I say, why bother with the prequels? They are beyond repair. All the skills in the world can't make them work. You can't polish a turd.

I wonder how many people have seen Revisited now? Adywan, do you think it is in the thousands or millions? I'm guessing it is at least over a thousand.

I beleive Windows XP only recognizes up to 3 GB of RAM but Vista recognizes a lot more I'm sure. I'm thinking of building a new computer like a year down the road so by then 8GB might be the standard when 2-4 GB is right now. As for re-encoding at a lower bitrate, that is beyond me. I don't know how to do that. I don't expect you to tell me either if you don't want to, I can look that up on google.

Thanks ChainsawAsh, I'm glad you're still willing to answer my technical questions. Right now my PC is an AMD Althon 64 2.2GHz processor with 2GB of ram. My video card is an XFX 7800GT 256MB of RAM. Pretty modest by todays standards, but it was considered pretty good back in late '05. It happens randomly, it doesn't keep happening at the same spot. I tried turning off my antivirus software and having no applications running in the backround, but it still does it. I think I will get a quad core processor with 16GB of ram, maybe even 32 in my new build.

Occasionally while I am watching Terminator 2 in 720p, I get this effect:

What does this mean?

It all comes with the download of Revisited in the DVD9 version. The image burn software comes with the download as well as the disc label and many covers to choose from.

Does anybody have more ignores than me? Okay that is it, after this, we stay on topic!

Sorry to stay off topic, but since so many people have ignored me I would just like to mention that I currently have 19 users that ignored me. Here's the list:

DarthBo
cloudman
Owen-Lars-Kenobi
wookielover69
MJPollard
Sluggo
mes83
nabakov
Akwat Kbrana
Savage
Monroville
dbuck
BarBar Jinkx
Ripplin
JasonN

ChainsawAsh
Siliconmaster482
Asteroid-Man

Looks like most of the older members.

I liked the idea of the lightsaber becoming shorter to the tip, but there was never really any consistency with that in the OT even in ANH. For the most part they seem to stay the same thickness all the way to the top. Adywan made them that way in Revisited so I think we should stick to that idea.

Cool!

They already did that on the first page.

Where is Asteroid-Man's tutorial thread

Like this?

"You chose...wisely."

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that Janskeet holds the record for most-blocked OT.com poster.

 

I would wager that too.

I know ChainsawAsh already ignored me but what do you other people think of this:

Making the "V" longer in revenge?

Janskeet, i've been reading a lot of what you are intending to do in your edit in this thread an others and many of the things have me completely baffled. you seem to be ripping the movie apart without any proper thought. For one, you mention the colour of the crawl to be too "orange" and that you prefer the ROTJ crawl colour. Well are you working on a colour calibrated monitor because if you are not you are not seeing the true colours of anything. The ROTJ crawl is horribly washed out. you also pointed out that the blue hue is missing form the cockpit windows. well it shouldn't be there at all anyway. you need to check to see just how thick the cockpit is and you will see that this is the thickness of the window frames and it is in shadow ( which has been tinted blue which you would see if you have a calibrated monitor).

there seems to be many things that you are taking out just because you don't understand them, which is a very bad mistake in my opinion.

Now i don't mind people using my edit for their own edits but its looking like your just going to rip it apart without any proper thought or understanding and with you doing it to something i put in a lot of time and effort to create i'm kind of concerned about this. You mention that you going to be changing some of the Fx shots too so you will have to learn to use an FX program like After Effects. Maybe you would be better off using the original Star Wars for this instead of my edit. If this is just going to be a personal project for yourself then fair enough, but if you intend to do all these things and then release it then, after seeing what you are intending to do, i would prefer it if you didn't use my edit for this.

 

Adywan, thanks for reminding me about the colour calibration. I thought my monitor was colour calibrated because I did it when I first got my monitor, but then I remembered that I reinstalled Windows XP on my computer 3 months ago so I need to recalibrate it. I think my monitor colours are still good though. I have a widescreen 1440 x 900 LCD Viewsonic. I happen to like the yellow color of the text in the ROTJ crawl. I know that is probably not what was deliberate or originally intended, but I like it that way and like what I said to ChainsawAsh (which pissed him off) that's the way I want it so I will make it that way for myself. I like the music timing in the ROTJ crawl too so I will change the crawl to move at the rate that is syncronized with ROTJ.

As far as the cockpit thing goes, I understand the thickness of the cockpit windows, but I think there should be more blue shining through the windows in that shot, but that is just my opinion.

I don't know what you think I'm doing that is "ripping it apart" it's mostly just enhancements of a few shots and a few removals of sounds and dialog.

I don't plan on making this edit for the public, but if I do, I will PM you it first either through rapidshare or youtube and you can approve of it before I give public acces to it. Fair enough? I want to use you version because the idea of this edit is to finish fixing all the continiuty erros left by you (not that there is a lot, or any of major importance) But this will probably never be finished anyways. I don't think I will have the patience to learn After Effects.

I don't understand why we all can't accept our differnet styles here:

"I don't care what was originally intended, I want it to be the way I want it." -that's my style

"I did stuff and I left things alone. If you care then you'll find out. I refuse to outline every damn little tiny thing that I did when I friggen just uploaded a super high quality bluray version of this! You people suck." -that's Wookie Groomer's style

"You are the world's biggest douche. I hope that Adywan will report you and maybe, just maybe m0thr will ban your worthless ass once and for all." -That's vbangel's style

It seems to me the only reason you guys won't put up with me is because I don't have color corrected, high definition versions of Star Wars to
distribute to all of you. I don't ignore vbangel and other people who talk to me like him because I don't care and I still would like to hear what everyone contributes to the forum, good or bad.

I find the Revisited crawl text to be too orange for my taste. I don't like where Adywan chose the music cues to happen either, I liked it to happen right at the title of the movie, not right at the episode number.

He changed the music cue to the way it originally was in 1977 - adding the episode number and subtitle in screwed it up.  Watch the GOUT - the crawl text comes in at the same time Ady's does.

I don't care what was originally intended, I want it to be the way I want it.

 

I sent you a copy of Revisited, and I even sent your friend a copy when I told you I wouldn't because I felt bad about fucking up the Zip code the first time.

Just for the record guys, he never said he wouldn't send my friend a copy or showed any resistance to the idea of sending him a copy. I double checked my PMs, I simply asked if he would send my friend a copy too and he said I suppose and that was it. I would've been gladly willing to say forget it or send him money if there was a problem. Thanks again anyways though for the DVDs ChainsawAsh.

Coming from the '04 DVDs, it looks like ESB is quite a bit oranger than ROTJ. It also has the awhul blue stars.

 

Did you know that Ady's ESB blue starfield is gone now?

Now I do :-)

Hey guys, wouldn't it have been funny if George Lucas used this as the scene when Anakin initiates his allegiance to Palpatine rather than what we actually saw in ROTS? Of course, the rating would've probably been needed to be raised to an "X" rating.

I like the color of the text in the ROTJ crawl and I like the timing of the music in the ROTJ crawl too. The blue stars have got to go though. I'm guessing it is the same in ESB, but I'm too lazy to check. I was hoping I could fix this myself, but learning how to use After Effects is taking me a lot long than I was hoping.

What you guys consider nitpicking, I consider a big deal. And this is why I said, I'm fixing it myself.

Moved to: "Can anything else be done after Adywan?"
