Editing LDs ?????
Time
Now, what you could do is put the resulting MPEGs (VOBs) on your computer, run them through TMPGenc, and cut out the blank spaces. Then you just remaster the disc with your own menus, etc. Of course, if your computer doesn't have a DVD burner, then you'd have to feed the video and audio to your standalone (if it has this capability). Unfortunately, this means you are recompressing your original MPEG again, which isn't a great thing.

You can't spare two hours of your life to rewatch Star Wars?

Lucas responsible for new trend in movie making
Time
I don't have a huge issue with digital cameras if they are used correctly.

Point in fact, I loved the use of dual camcorders, one color and one B&W, in Blair Witch Project. It was very appropriate for that film. (I loved it when people complained that the DVD wasn't in widescreen. )

"Seventies/Eighties Lucas being a filmmaking pioneer = good.

Modern Lucas being a filmmaking pioneer = bad. "


Well, he did champion the use of NLE's, which make our current projects sooooo much easier to do.

OT characters more popular than PT characters

"I dunno if Bail Organa was actually ever mentioned by name in the OT."

No. Leia simply mentions "Her father", and the droids belonged to Captain Antilles.

Ironically, the novelization does mention his name.

"General Obi-wan Kenobi," the mellifluous voice was saying, "I present myself in the name of the world family of Alderaan and of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. I break your solitude at the bidding of my father, Bail Organa, Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system."

What're You Reading Right Now

"Don't you mean "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick? "

No...those books are nowhere near the same thing.

"i was reading the hobbit till i lost the book"

You're not missing much.

"I just polished off Stephen King's Gunslinger and I've started S.K.'s Insomnia 3 days ago."

I got bored with the Gunslinger series, and King's books have been getting harder and harder to get through.
