Now that I have the V3 finally finished and just about out the door, I would LOVE to revisit this, I still have(actually will always have LOL)the lossless avi files on my PC of the V3 files, I would like to be more aggressive on getting these colors right, or at least closer, so if anyone wants to team up and help me figure this out, I would love the company LOL, because some of the software used on this, I have zero experience with, I also have all the Blu-ray files(HD) on my external drive.

This would be great since there's still things to do, like the weird GOUT colors on lasers and Luke's garage...

I noticed that there seems to be no echo in Emperor's voice, was that change made... when?

I can definitely hear the echo, it's there, just sounds a little weird and different with the higher pitched sound.

Yep, it's all higher pitched, PAL! ;)

Sorry, I guess my volume was too low. :P

This will be even harder to find, but I need an uncropped version of this picture. It is this exact picture, only it is a full body shot. It doesn't need to be terribly big, just not terribly small.

There isn't such thing, that's only a face shot when he's sitting, that image has been cropped from the sides, though.

You sure?, Because I am looking right at it on my old VHS of ROTJ.

At least I haven't seen one, difficult to say since I don't have that cover.

That TESB was a beauty, big thanks to Norway. :)

Added all to Jambe's trilogy.

The Demons are feasting.

Thank you!

Poodoo doesn't have to mean shit, it can be a curse word in Huttese and that happens to translate into fodder. There are many curse words that really don't have much meaning or at least it doesn't always have to be shit.

But hey, who cares about the prequels anyway?

Hi, everyone. (I'll try to deliver my best english!)

I came on this website by looking for those "unframed" version of the 1997 special edition posters. I know the french Delcourt comics have it but I can't find any hi-res of those. If someone here have it or have the possibility to do scans, I will be lasting grateful if he could post 'em.

Thanks

Me too. Those are the ones used on VHS covers, I'd like to get these.

I notice that your Finnish cover on Jedi have the Swedish title as well, but it is spelled wrong, was the original cover it is based on like that? The correct Swedish title is "JEDINS ÅTERKOMST".

It was like that originally, also the original movie poster has Jedis återkomst. Isn't jedins plural? Because Jedin paluu means jedi in singular so I guess they just translated the Finnish title into Swedish (also Swedish in Finland can be quite different from Swedish in Sweden).

I thought I posted all my covers and disc labels in the same thread since I’ve been posting them here and there, so if anybody’s looking for quality they’ll find it here, LOL. I’ll be updating the first post with new covers.

Looking for:

Scans of interviews with the creators of the shows.

Covers of VHS and DVD releases worldwide.

Images from the shows.

Trailers or any video material for the shows or their merchandise.

Scans of the comics, maybe?

Anything and everything.

 

In Jambe's great Kenner DVD there's one Droids toy commercial.

I think there's too much comics to put, not sure how many but didn't they have an entire series?

I will scan my Finnish covers in some point, maybe closer to the release, so I could make DVD covers based on them. It's hard to have collection in one place and live in another, otherwise I could do it right now, LOL.

Remember that those are the dubbed ones... :( I'm not sure if it would help you since you'd still need to replace the audio. You can get the opening from the UK tapes hopefully. And like I said, I was kid back then so only maybe two episodes have the credits because the recording usually ended before the show. Plus it's a pretty hard thing to transfer there as the only place to do it is far away and I'll always need to call a favor for doing it... I really should start checking out getting a system for doing it myself, I guess.

Just remembered... I think the UK videos have the episodes combined together which means they're missing recaps and only have one opening and one ending credits, am I right? So there should be another source for at least the recaps, I guess the credits also differ from episode to episode?

Yes, Indeed they do, so the credits and recaps will be MIA.

AFAIK, the beginning and end credits were identical within seasons. Of, course, when they switched format to the combined Ewoks/Droids adventure hour they were different again. And we're not trying to replicate that combo so specific credits for either Ewoks or Droids don't exist for those.

LexX, are the credits there on your Finnish Ewok tapes? I have yet to cjeck my Norwegian tapes (and I believe at least one of them has Macrovision).

When preserving these then you can use the same opening and credits in every episode, hopefully pittrek will do this. :) And the restoring the recaps. Maybe you can get a hint for a source from the other thread? So the credits are the same? I was just thinking if the cast changed during episodes, not sure...

Also, maybe getting the best quality out of these is actually using the footage from the official DVD and then just splice all cut material back in and of course the original soundtrack? What do you think? Beats the VHS!

Just checked my Ewoks, yes they have the credits at the very end. There's just subtitles that tell the company that subtitled the video for a few seconds on screen. And here's a little extra info: Droids & Ewoks were released here as rental in the late 80s as subtitled, then they were shown on TV dubbed in 1995-1996. Too bad they only released two videos from both, from Droids the White Witch arc and the pirates arc, not Mungo. And from Ewoks a little this and a little that, never liked them that much, LOL. Luckily I have almost all of the Droids episodes recorded. :)

Cool!

Here's the set I mentioned, anyone seen it?

LINK REMOVED

Edit: well, it seems the guy who made it put a watermark over the video so forget it. :P

Nice colours, but it's a bit too bright IMO.

Yeah, it's a shot for printing, I'm sure it has been tweaked but I don't think you can get this kind of result from the DVD source... Could be wrong though.

I just wanted to put this somewhere, I love the colors of this shot, I bet it's from the original film/negative/whatever.

There is/was one site selling Droids DVD(s?), in Canada if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what was the source for this but that's considered to be the best one out there. Too bad they won't ship to Europe. It also cost something like $30.

Anyways, I'd be interested in these. I liked Droids as a kid, I also have the original rental videos (which are subtitled) but they didn't release Mungo episodes or the Great Heep. I also recorded almost all of them from TV and they were dubbed, would be cool to get the audio from there (too bad it's not stereo) and add those to a proper video. Also, being a kid, I didn't understand to put a few minutes extra when recording them so almost all of them are missing a minute or two from the end. :(

Is there ever a visual indication in the OT of shields being hit?  Or an otherwise direct hit being "deflected"?

When Star Destroyer hits Falcon in TESB.

In case somebody wants...

Pretty surprising that people are watching different versions between the films.

For me, GOUT or sometimes something on VHS, rarely the Special Editions. Also Puggo's releases are fun. After GOUT v3 is released I think I'm going to retire official DVDs for good.

Well if the original tapes and digital conversions originated from him then the case can be made that it is his responsibility if the leaked DVD got wide attention.  Him being one of the significant SW collectors, his reputation in those higher up communities is at stake.  When the leak took place, the person said they bought it from rebelscum, so with money involved more people are bound to get excited.  and again because he is an upper eschelon collector, even if the sales were to cover costs, it can be seen as bad form.  video is still an awkward collection hobby.  on one hand most of this stuff is on free hosting sites, on the other the professional authoring has some value and somewhere in between is the cultural value of the information in the video...

Well, of course, but I meant that it was always his DVD and his time and effort that went to it not once mentioning (at least I haven't seen) that it was actually made by someone else. I know that it isn't cheap to get those commercials and it takes time to hunt them down but still, sounds a little weird that JD did the DVD while Chris was making money out of it without mentioning him and then getting pissed that something he didn't even made got leaked. Now, if I'm wrong in some details then I apologize but this is the impression I've gotten.

Btw, the DVD is great JD, great work! That reminds me, I could make a cover for it. :P
