Oh no. 😦 RIP.

Anyway, here’s a good link that ‘explained’ it all back then. I didn’t see this at the time, but I note from the comments below that someone did spot this anomaly in C3PO’s last moments. - io9.gizmodo.com/so-now-we-know-how-c-3po-got-his-red-arm-in-the-force-a-1770741572

Here’s a better link and a nice bedtime story by the man himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOuF2yh1lKU&t=47m15s

Sorry about the off topic, I just enjoyed his reading even though the story itself is a bit mushy.

One of your moderators seems to have agreed with me. Shrug.

I’m gonna have to agree with you here. Trailers are spoilers, and they should be discussed in the spoiler thread.

Then you can pretty much lock this thread up because there is zero to talk about a movie that no one knows nothing about. What are you looking to find in this thread then? The trailers haven’t spoiled anything yet you wouldn’t know in December before seeing the movie.
Oh and spoiler alert: they manage to steal the plans.

SilverWook said:

Well, they managed to get Chewie right, so my confidence is high.

Mine too, just trying to discuss about something since there isn’t much to talk about in the non-spoiler thread. 😃

Edit: and yeah, the 3PO costume looked pretty bland, maybe improved for Daniels.

SilverWook said:

They didn’t dust off an old Artoo for TFA, and even built a new improved Threepio suit for Anthony Daniels, so I can’t imagine using anything left over from Episode III now. Heck, they could have easily used the actual burned Vader mask from ROTJ, and they didn’t.

Of course I don’t mean the actual worn suit from 12 years ago but the “ROTS version” that was used with its stupid weird helmet and non-accurate armor or anything that makes you think about that. And I almost don’t even want to go there but there better be a different guy inside. But I’m pretty confident that they avoid these mines.

I agree wholeheartedly. I’m wary of spoiler threads because they can be havens for actual leaks. I’d like to discuss a film and the official promotional material released for it without risking getting legitimately spoiled.

If you’re so paranoid that you avoid trailers than you really have no business in a thread dedicated to the film anyway.

Exactly. And if you can’t talk about the trailers there really isn’t anything to talk about until we see the movie. I haven’t seen the ComicCon reel though, and I avoided the TFA one for that too. I’ve also already seen the poster up at a local cinema, I really like it and got very excited!

But yeah, the reveal wasn’t very unpredictable but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t great because it was. He just seemed very small? I hope they don’t use the ROTS suit or anything that makes you think about the last time he was on the screen, ugh.

The image seems to have same kind of brownish noise that Verta showed in his videos. Is there something you can do about them?
How’s the thing going, is there any ETA for it? For example, for a Rogue One marathon or something… 😃 TESB only has the grindhouse version released so it sticks out pretty bad compared to SW and ROTJ scans.

IIRC, we were talking about the TFA trailers in the TFA non-spoiler thread. So we can talk about them in here, too, right? I was thinking for a second to try to avoid the trailer if it gets too spoilery but just going to FB made it play automatically and all over YouTube there are images and reviews and whatever crap for a trailer, jeez.

The trailer was cool and not very spoilery. Well, we all do know what the movie is about. It really felt like a Dark Forces type movie. What did you think about the “reveal” at the end? I got spoiled with that some time ago. I shouldn’t watch any SW videos on my account because then I get “recommendations” for dozens of people who talk about their SW feelings, who cares. Anyways, I think we are allowed now to talk about it, right?

Nice!

I wouldn’t mind seeing an attempt at coloring it to look similar to the re-released movies

You wouldn’t mind that the colors would be completetely wrong? Weird.

List updated, any new ones? 😃

I also enjoy this movie very much. It’s a great 80s film and is held as “the best Michael Mann movie” that he obviously didn’t direct. Great music, one of the best car chases, great cinematography. I don’t see any similarity to Blade Runner though, it’s just Miami Vice in L.A.
I can see where both of you are coming from. I agree a little that it came a little surprisingly that Vucovich suddenly took a 180 but I’m okay with Chance dying. I don’t like the flashbacks either, there’s even a weird one after the credits.
Btw, this movie takes a loooong time to introduce Chance, I think his name is first said like over an hour into the movie?

So I was wondering, since Legacy is a restoration of the negative

It’s from a print, not from the negative.

I assumed it was somewhat “authentic/official”? Not Lucas or Disney property official, but more than a Fan Creation?

Seems legit.

“Daft Serious”? Holy shit, is it too late to change my username?

Those Episode I figure names are fake, IRL it’s just a red box.

The plague that nearly all Star Wars posters, official and non, suffer from.

You should have posted the art itself to the art thread, not some weird fan mock-up. 😉

The algorithm more or less “listens” (there are a lot of different ways to do this, but it works similarly to how Cortana or Siri work) to the file and then matches what it “hears” to the sound of words it knows.

It seems to swing towards political and news stuff, so those are probably things it hears a lot so it favors those.

Off topic, but how on Earth this kind of algorithm helps anyone? If you were deaf you’d be better off just guessing by yourself. It’s just a ridicilous thought that someone has actully published the entire system and been serious.

Are there any possibilities to change the GOUT subs into SE timings? I’d be happy to help filling the blanks.

The issue is probably added dialogue more than retiming.

Yes, but if you do the same re-timings on every language, you just have to fill the blanks that are missing instead of doing all subs from scratch. There are people from different countries on this forum who can easily translate a couple of lines for completion, I’d say we could get easily a dozen full SE subs just by ourselves. And even with blank spaces, they would be better than nothing.

And sorry, I don’t speak Castellano. 😄

SilverWook said:

They probably didn’t want to show the same character twice.

Well, there are 2 Anakins and 2 Obi-Wans.

Is that even an official poster though? That looks like crap starting from the non-official titles to the weird screencap on the bottom.

Yoda and Palpatine NEVER should have been given lightsabers.

Agreed.

You can lock the thread.

SilverWook said:

Since this issue has been cropping up more often recently, I’m going to talk to Jay about slightly revising the sig image size limit. It’s worth reviewing after seven years anyway.

I don’t get why signatures need images in the first place. Many forums even prohibit it. They’re signatures.

Haha, I completely forgot Kybo Ren! Even though I’ve seen Droids dozens of times (unfortunately not that episode as my VHS ran out during taping it 😕 ).

You_Too said:

The GOUT subs has the crawl in all the languages so I bet it could be synched into these as well as the Vader and Emperor talk in ESB and removing the abominable “Wesa free!” at the end of ROTJ if it’s in the subs. If there are any other differences I forgot please inform us. 😃

There was at least the added 3PO line in SW in the sandcrawler.

They showed the very first Casino Royale this summer here on TV, I watched almost half of it and it was surprisingly okay (unlike the 1967 one). The video quality was below VHS. I’ll have to finish it when I get back to it. James Bond as an American though, ugh…
