.: Revenge of the Jedi 0.83 MS Edition :. (* unfinished project *)
Time

This is my first project I will release to the public (exept my old ANH edit but I cancelled that). This edit will include many fixes etc., but I will also adjust the storyline a bit.
This is the list of changes the final version should have (I probably make some new changes when moving along):
1.The original 20th Century Fox logo IS BACK Restored and remastered
2.Removed the DVD plate and restored the “A long time ago, in a galaxt far far away…” plate.
3.The opening crawl now calls: STAR WARS: EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE JEDI (I don’t know if I will keep the Episode III title)
4.Brightened and sharpened the overall image.
5.Flipped back 3 flipped shots of Boba Fett in Jabba’s Palace.
6.Removed the shots of Boba flirting with some slave girls.
7.Overblow the brightning off Luke’s hologram, and made it more blue like the holograms in the other movies. It looks pretty good in my opinion, but I might restore it back to its original state.
8.Fixed a shot where C3PO is almost completly silver.
9.Fixed a goof where a protocol droid (can’t remember his name) right eye almost doesn’t light up while the other one is bright.
10.NO MORE JEDI ROCKS!!
11.Because I removed Jedi Rocks, we directly cut to Oolya getting killed by the rancor, but this may change since I may will put Lapti Nek back in (my Moth3r ROTJ disc broke a few days ago and I didn’t have a back-up off it)
12.Remember hearing Greedo’s dialogue in Jabba’s Palace? It not thier anymore! I’m trying to remove it and remix it so I have some new dialogue to mix in to replace the missing Greedo dialogue.
13.To match the thermal detonator in Star Wars Battlefront II, I added a slight red glow to Boosh’s thermal detonator when its activated.
14.I burned Jabbas dialogue into the video, using a font that matchs the font used in the original 1983 theatrical run.
15.I might slightly edit Jabbas dialogue in the subtitles.
16.When Chewie is brought to his cell, we hear the doors close, but we don’t see them move. I’m trying to fix that.
17.Fixed a color issue that made it look like it was a jumpcut with that wierd creature that we see when looking at Jabbas Palace at late night.
18.Edited a few things of the control panel of Han’s carbinite block.
**19. Luke’s saber is back blue again
19.Fixed Boba’s jetpack to look like jetpacks in the PT. This really annoyed me for some time
20.You now see sabertracks on the people Luke kills.
21.I left the CGI sarlacc. The new beak never really annoyed me
22.Seriously brightened Artoo and Treepio when Luke picks them up from the sand. It was really obvious that it was filmed infront of a matte painting or blue/greenscreen, because the painting was way brighter then the sand or the droids.
23.Re-rotoscoped the Falcons engine glow almost troughout the entire movie. The DVD turned the blue glow into a brown/yellow/white glow.
24.I darkened the Emperor arrives scene.
25.Made Ben’s ghost a bit more blue. It really annoyes me that the 2004 DVD made them almost completly yellow/white.
26.Han no more says “This can be a little rough feller don’t want to speak for ya”. Hey, he manoevers like a crazy man tru an asteriod field, but he is afraid of a simple mission on Endor. I wonder what GL was thinking when he wrote that line.
27.Shortened the discussion between Lando and Han about the Falcon. Some dialogue was really cheesy.
28.Same for the “I wonder if I will see her ever again scene”.
29.No more “Vader is on that ship” dialogue from Luke. Luke now just feels the dark side of the force on the Executor, but he isn’t sure.
30.No more code sequence, we directly cut to “Should I hold” etc.
31.Removed and shortened some Ewok scenes.
32.Removed the “Han-jealous” () scene. It really annoyed me.
33.The rebels now find the shield bunker themselfs.
34.Why are almost all Corellian Corvettes in SW red? I changed some to green and blue.
35.The little ewok now steals that speederbike on request of the rebels, so no more “Their goes or suprise attack” lines.
36.That little ewok now gets killed by the Imperial troops chasing him.
37.Darkened the Emperors chamber, but brightened the lights.
38.Fixed the shots of the BOE when they look tru the window.
39.The Emperor didn’t forsaw the rebels attacking Endor, but he did forsee the attack of the rebel fleet.
**40.One or two ships explode when the rebel fleet finds out the deflector shield is still operational.
40.Fixed Vader’s pink saber.
41.When Vader trows his saber to Luke it comes tru the right end.
42.Removed the shot of the Ewok that survives a blast from the AT-ST and starts crying because his friend didn’t survive.
43.Fixed some crappy lasers and some bad explosions.
44.Fixed a silver Treepio shot on Endor.
45.Edited and moved around some dialogue of Vader during the final duel between him and Luke.
46.No more crappy rings when the secon Death Star explodes.
47.Vader has his eyebrows back!!
48.Removed Naboo from the end celebration.
49.Welcome back Sebastian Shaw as Anakin Skywalker
50.Putted originaltrilogy.com in the ending credits
51.Putted Suzy Rice in the ending credits, for creating the SW logo
52.Putted Sluggo, MagnoliaFan and Jaxon’s Dad in the ending credits, for helping me out with the opening crawl

<span class=“Bold”>Things with ** are things I ain’t sure of doing.</span>

I’m also planning to make alot of changes to the audio mix but I didn’t want to post them right now, since I still have alot of work to do.
The only thing I can’t really manage to make is HIGH RESOLUTION version of my opening crawl. If you could/want to help me out, please pm me
I might have this thing finished in October/November, but it depends on the amount of homework i’ll get this year

Info: Starfields - disappearing over time in the Original Trilogy...
Time
I think stars are noticable better on PAL versions of the movie, but I can't really say anything about that right now, since I didn't saw a complete NTSC ANH transfer yet. Yea its amazing how many detail was lost when transferring the movies to home video The Falcon and that starfield looks incredible, althought the color correction requires some work

Poll: Who is more annoying, Lucas or McCallum?
Time
GL = Great movie maker until 1983. 1983-Present = Idiot, jerk, asshole, etc. Conclusion: Athought he f*cked up the OT and the PT, he made this wonderfull galaxy!
RC = Idiot, didn't hear of him until 1997. 1997 (Maybe even earlier)-Present = Jerk, asshole, same as SE-PT-GL, etc. Conclusion: Big asshole, that didn't deserve to get the job he has now. He is a wining little brad (SP?) and he probably sucked GL's balls to actually get the job. He pisses of all SW fans, exept the mindless fanboys.

So I voted for RC

ROTS in the IMDb top 250!

Pointless Charaters? I agree, Grevious was bad, and someone get him some Robitusson!


Don't forget Naboo. Seriously, TPM had the most real stuff out of all the prequels, and it's starting to gain my favor, especially considering how bad ROTS is starting to look on repeat viewings. I swear, parts of that movie are just painful to watch.


Totally agree. I think TPM is the best of the PT, because the biggest part of it is REAL, unlike the other 2 crappy-HD-Almost completely CGI-prequel crap-movies. General Grievous = HOW CAN YOU COME UP WITH SUCH AN IDIOT.

Should there be an ULTIMATE EDITION!
Time
I think if GL would make a Ultimate Edition it should include following changes:
-Brighten Luke's saber in ROTJ back up!
-Fix Vaders PINK saber, we are used to see him with a BLOODRED saber!
-Fix the swaped audio channels in ANH
-Remove the Jabba scene, or at least take the effort to make him look like where used to see him in ROTJ!
-Brighten ANH back up
-Redo the Battle of Yavin in REALISTIC CG, to capture the same feel as we had back in 77
-Remove the Jawa and Droid jokes in the Mos Eisley entrance, but replace them with new shots of Mos Eisley (without crappy jokes!)
-Han shoots FIRST, but use cut footage like they did for the 97' version of ANH
-Replace the voices of some Stormtroopers with the voice of Temuerra Morrison (SP?)
-Replace the crappy "plastic" Stormtroopers with real Stormies
-Reshoot the Emperor scene from ESB
-Replace Jedi Rock with Lapti Nek again!
-Fix Luke's green saber in ANH
-Remove the choppy effects and the no-colored saber in the Falcon scene
-Replace all the sabers in ANH with TPM sabers, they look very similair to the ROTJ design
-Some minor CG enhacements
-Include all 8 audio mixes made by then for the OT
And the most important part
-INCLUDE A DIGITAL CLEANED UP AND REMASTERED VERSION OF THE OUT IN HD ANAMORPHIC QUALITY!!!
-Don't give us again crappy photoshop covers for these releases!!!

JEDI: "I'm here for da booze and da bitches!"


What game is this picture from?

I have no idea. I just did a Google Image search for Star Wars and picked the first random Star Wars picture that came up that I hadn't seen or used before.

It from KoToR (Knights of the Old Republic), but I don't know if its from KoToR I or II

Original Opening Crawl
Time
Hi, now searching for a while for the 1977 bootleg of Star Wars but without succes. I know their is a direct DVD transfer of this but I was also unable to find this. So please could somebody with the original 1977 bootleg please send me the original opening crawl because I'm trying to re-create the original Star Wars from laserdisc (and DVD for the Greedo scene) but the only footage i've been unable to find is the opening crawl. I just need the footage to track the letters of it so I can make a perfect copy of the original crawl.

Thx in advance

Lucas owns a piece of the moon?

Or maybe people just don't care. I think it's good to not try to "own" property on other planets until people start living there themselves.


The guy that sells pieces of the moon claimed for the ownership of the moon in 1980 and got it. States or countries have nothing to say against this so the moon and all other planets are his property. He claims to have sold pieces of the moon to George Lucas, Bill Gate,s Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood and Rob Van Oudenhoven (you may not know him but he is very well know in Belgium) and many other customers.
