Whoops.

The only thing I disagree with, and not a concern with the AE, is the use of tracks that were not performed by the LSO and John Williams for the films.

Interesting that they say this print is from Lucasfilm.  That would be in complete contradiction to their usual policy of stomping out all original prints in favor of SE garbage.

HasBLO just keeps on loading EU and PT crap into OT toys.  The upcoming Yoda from the Vintage Collection on a ROTJ card has....

....A Lightsaber.  Lame.

I was not surprised that Philip Wise, or any staff at RebelScum.com did not reply.  His nose is so far up Lucasfilm's ass.

That's a shame. Back when he started rebelscum around 13 years ago, Philip was just a regular schmoe.

 

Not anymore.  Now that he runs an empire of his own and sucks off of the Lucasfilm teat, he won't be of any use.  Between RebelScum, TheForce.net, and OfficialPix, Philip is living large and he dare not go against the empire.

 

My site is small beans when it comes to Star Wars sites, but I'll see about crafting an editorial about the issue and putting it up at erikstormtrooper.com.

 

Thank you, and please link to it here.  :)

 

Have you tried Adam Pawlus at galactichunter.com?

 

I haven't been to GH for years because of Adam May, but Pawlus has been receptive in the past so I'll give him a shot.

 

T-bone at T'bone Star Wars Universe?

 

Nope, can you provide a link?

 

Roger Ebert?

 

Not yet, but good idea.  I'm also considering Leonard Maltin.

Um, I do use my real name in my correspondence.  It has been changed to protect the innocent/guilty.  :)

Looks like my initial email has mostly fallen upon deaf ears/blind eyes.  That's okay, I'm still gonna keep going.

Along with many of the usual suspects, I have emailed 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm.  Yeah, I know.  :)

If anyone has ideas on sites and email addresses, please let me know here.  I was not surprised that Philip Wise, or any staff at RebelScum.com did not reply.  His nose is so far up Lucasfilm's ass.

Anyway, let's have your suggestions, links, and emails! 

Sale coming to an end....

A reply from Vanessa Philipe:

Hello JediTray,

Thanks so much for your email. We are most definitely aware of this lack of film preservation from George Lucas, and do address it in our documentary. Not to mention that we agree with you. In fact, Alexandre (the director) is quoted in the Guardian article, and the film includes an interview from the man behind the originaltrilogy.com.

We are hard at working putting together our release strategy, and look forward to your being able to see the film.

Cheers,
Vanessa

Mmmkay....

Like many threads here, this one has been overrun by idiocy.

The original intent here was to share links, emails, letters, etc. regarding our wanting the GOUT released to us in the best format possible.  It's still a worthwhile cause for the mostpart, but anyone wanting to take the reigns must be warned that idiots run rampant.

I highly recommend that anyone wanting to continue with emails and letters start their own thread from scratch.  Personally, I am tired.  Very tired.  I will be pursuing other things.  You can only beat your head against a wall for a dead cause so long before changing direction.

Good luck and MTFBWY.

Pardon my crude little image, but you get the idea of what I was trying to convey about establishing a place for the "magic" rope on the Sail Barge.

*Takes a handful and passes it on*

Still available, going to eBay....

Indeed.

And I can grab them.... Where?  :)

Well, whatever you do, I support it and will gladly update my copy of the AE, so should I be required to share it, I will have everything up to date.  Until then, the backup drive keeps it safe.  :)

Well it was actually in response to the debate raging there and how the only hope for seeing them in HD is the AVCHD's.

Sorry.

I also take it that the CD collections in the pictures above are bootlegs and the eBay seller is profiteering.

Wow.  Some asshole at Blu-ray.com has actually resorted to calling me a Nazi just because I am for the preservation of the Original Trilogy.

I reminded him that it was George who is actually acting Hitler-esque by revising history and pretending they don't exist.  Sheesh.

Wow A B C, I'm sorry this has happened.  Please know for the record that I have never shared your work other than with proper channels here at this site.  If I were to want to share it elsewhere, I would ASK YOU first and let you know EXACTLY what my plans are and provide links, etc.

I sure hope that this situation does not keep you from providing the pitch corrections and such that need to be replaced in the AE.  After reading and listening to the tracks several times, I completely agree that they must be replaced.

If you want my help or feedback or ANYTHING regarding this or other projects, please PM me.

I am eternally grateful to you, A B C.  That goes for all of your work that you have shared.

Did he offer at least a track list? I could authorize it if it were real?

 Nope.  I asked and all I got was the Japan response.

So, consider this my formal request for your materials, SW or otherwise.  :)

Well I've lost my UseNet account, so does anyone know if the version of RTJ on Fanedit.org will be replaced with the corrected one?

I too am looking for more "complete" scores for AOTC and ROTS.  I hate the prequels, but will always appreciate John Williams' music.

During a random search through eBay, I found these:

Anybody have an idea on these?  The eBay seller said he got them from "a guy in Japan" and wouldn't reveal anything more.

At any rate, I would like the info on getting the GoodMusician scores.  Thanks!
