So...do I let Barnes and Noble ship my copy to me ($40 after tax w/ discount, Groupon) and try to sell it for a small profit or do I cancel the order?

I'll give you $5 for it. It's what's worth. :D

It was the stupid Windows media player. For some reason double clicking on the m2ts with it and I didn't notice.

Just opened them with media Player classic and they sound GREAT!

Nero Showtime plays them w/o sound. Weird.

But yeah, MPC does the trick as usual. Again, thank you for making these Harmy!

:)

Hats off to you Harmy, fantastic quality!

Just one question, I guess this has to do with the way the DVD was constructed and the file ready for burning but I checked all 3 movies in the PC and the volume is quite low, like very low. When I burn them and play them with surround system will they have regular volume levels?

(Yes, the computer and player volume was at max)

Other than that...FANTASTIC JOB!

You can join MySpleen by invite only. I just sent you a PM so you can join. Hope you like the DeSpecialized Editions...

Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it man, thank you! :)

Let's all say something nice about George

Is this?

It's a TRAP!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I can't. Not anymore.

My time to finally enjoy these has come! Problem is I don't have a pro rapidshare account or anything like that. How can I join myspleen? Torrents are way easier to handle for me, as to keep sharing once done.

Any advise? Thanks! :D

Now as I have said, this set will still sell like hotcakes, but I firmly believe the NOOO change was the turning point in the 'casual' fan getting fed up with all the OT changes.  When the 04 Set came out, there was not as much anger as I have seen by fans and columnists. 

 

Back then there was no Twitter of FB. I strongly believe that's the main reason so many people now know what crap the box set is before buying it.

Newscasts, reviews etc links could be shared in forums and blogs, but now those same blogs or posts or whatever go viral in a few minutes due to twitter, so even if you don't like or care about SW in this case but follow someone that follows someone that does and RT an article about how shit these are, BAM!

There you have the news/links available to people, where otherwise wouldn't have heard of all this any other way.

Just imagine what it would have been like if Twitter (and overall number of people using the internet) existed back in May 1999 or in 97 - I imagine the backlash against Lucas would have been even worse than it is now.

I'm really happy it's getting so bad reviews all over the place, Lucas, Lusasfilm and the people involved deserve the hate they're getting IMO.

EDIT>

PS. BTW, I first heard about the changes from a tweet by @SWRevisited last Thursday. Had forgotten these were about to come out simply because I stopped caring a long time ago, so I'm one example of my post above hehe.

Who are these guys? And should I care what they think?

They run the biggest and most popular Star Wars podcast out there. They regularly talk with all the big names in Star Wars these days including employees at Lucasfilm and the cast of the Clone Wars. Basically this is how a large portion of Star Wars fans learn what is going on with Star Wars.

In other words no, we shouldn't care. And we don't.

How about this?

I like the game of Solitaire idea, but probably not enough to spend time on it.  In all honesty, I'm getting sick of working on this damn thing.  I'd like to be able to release it at some point ;-)

Maybe suggest it again on the next one.

That would fit nicely in AOTC when Obi-Wan goes to the archives looking for Kamino... probably. i havent seen AOTC in years, but if I remember correctly there's a shot of him looking at a monitor, or hologram, no?

those who are tired of it all, join me in the dark side !! The truth is here !! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GvpT_7BMAc

 

 

Brilliant.  Brilliant, I say!

Now that's pretty awesome! Love it!

Problem is, this things are like poetry, you know? They rhyme with each other. We have vader saying NOOOOO at the end of ROTJ, so having him say NOOO at the end of ROTS is a must. Brilliant Geroge's true vision. LOL ;)

Pixar's biggest inspiration is a true artist and his studio, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, not George "i once was a good director now i am a hack" Lucas.

The only Lucas connection i can see is they developed the cgi tools ILM uses.

But at the time Lucas did not want to make animation so he sold the group to steve jobs who sold the group to disney.

I'm not connecting G.F.Lucas to Pixar, but the making a movie for the wrong reasons aka selling toys. I think you lost my point a bit there.

Did we really need to know Anakin's story? perhaps, but in hindsight, I'd rather keep Vader as an enigmatic character that in the end..and freaking SILENTLY lol returned to the light to save his son and himself. Than what we got in the end, a whiny little bitch that becomes a whiny little bitch in armor...Perfect.

A better, or at least to me, a more interesting prequel in my opinion should have been something like the cinematic trailers of The Old Republic game. from a time were a helluva lot of badass Sith were fighting Jedi in their prime, perhaps a very young Yoda to tie things up but that would be about it on that matter. Far in the past so you don't HAVE to tie things up, but above all a good story about it. Want Wookiees in it? sure why not, most species from the OT would be already running around back then, so have your fun with that, but remove yourself from the OT, it's best if you do that...oh wait a bit late for that.

I'm sure everyone here has seen those epic trailers. either on their own or seen back to back in chronological order are BY FAR better in story, action sequences and that old Star wars feel to it than the entire PT.

I haven't played the game so I have no idea if it's good or bad, just talking about the trailers in their own merit.

The one thing I truly love from the PT is Darth Maul, but sire enough, G.F.Lucas gave him 2 lines of dialogue, 5 minutes of screen time and an illogical, stupid death. Way. To.Go.

To me, the fatal flaw was trying to make a modern copy of the OT, and failing tremendously.

It's like poetry my ass, it turned out to be a childish half-assed copy. There's a major difference between a movie or show for children and a childish movie and G.F.Lucas just doesn't understand that. he truly believes people hate the PT because it was aimed at young kids...no, we hate it because it's irrelevant, stupid and plain bad. Just look at Doctor Who, now THAT is respecting an audience, young and adult.

Same case with CARS2, and I absolutely love and respect PIXAR with every cell in my body... A shinier, faster more intense copy of the original aimed at selling toys... and it bombed. Remind you of anyone?

Brave looks really good tho, so they are entitled of making a flawed one I think, it was going to happen sooner or later. Just hope it's the exception to an otherwise perfect record of STORIES.

With the PT, as it should be with every move, TVshow or book it's all about the story and its characters. The PT deeply lacks in both, G.F.Lucas has gone so far from reality that his own quote from many interviews from the past that technology should serve the story and not the other way around just goes to show what a hypocrite little creep he has become.

Thanks a lot canofhumdinger!

Yeah, after posting that i went to the preservations forum and found the threads almost at the top (shouldv'e done that before posting) so I edited out my off topic post as to not derail the conversation from this WONDERFUL Bd release...lol

Really appreciate the links and explanation either way, thanks! :)

By the time G.F. Lucas is done altering these things, say in 2 or 3 new format releases, Frink's versions will look like they're a serious attempt at toning down the idiocy! ;)

BTW, Frink, looove your TRM edit! Lucky for you now the Palps dead scene needs no touching up from you now. Less work for ya! wheeeee!

Edit> Sorry Double post

Oh. my. GOD!!!!

It shouldn't come as a surprise that this set would be somehow fucked up, but geez! I wasn't planning on buying it, but now I have to tell people that could possibly think of it as a "good" birthday or Xmas present to refrain from buying it for me. I just simply don't want this versions, in any way or form.

All the extras, I'll get those, but won't be giving Lucas any money for them. Maybe borrow them, idk.

So, George, HI! Why don't you just go right ahead and kick me in the nuts! oh, yeah, you JUST did.... you filthy moth....fu....bas....

-----

Funny that NO ONE is talking about the BD prequels apart from the TPM digiyoda (which I think IS a change for the best considering the awuful puppet)

AOTC and ROTS? Nothing....people just don't care to even rip them, and if someone has, no one cares to comment on them if they have or not changes. I for one, couldn't care less for the PT, and now I mostly don;t for the OT either. Sad.

Thanks again to Adywan for the Revisited project. It's already my preferred versions over all, and to the guys that made the HD unaltered versions, Kudos to you and hopefully I'll d/l those in the near future.

No....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hi

i don't have a Facebook account and so far I've had no problem watching Ady's vids there but from the last one I get this message:

Is it a FB glitch, the link actually expired or something on my end?

My thoughts are with you and your family Ady. My deepest condolences :(

FYI
