What do you LIKE about the EU?
Time

I just read Dawn of the Jedi yesterday. It's not bad at all-- in fact, the premise is very fun. So much of the EU demystifies Star Wars lore anymore, that, in a way, Dawn succeeds.

If the story is going to go back as far as is relevant (or possible, for that matter), then Dawn is at least a fun way to depict what went on.

My main feeling is that no galaxy, no matter how long ago, no matter how far away, can LOOK exactly the same for 25,000 years.

 

By the by, stuff in the EU I do like:

Zahn

I, Jedi

NJO

Luceno's Prequel novels

Prequel adaptations

I can explain it:  the loudest guys in this thread are stupefyingly ignorant blowhards.  It's a lot of Walter Pecks shouting about the fakery of it all.


That said, TServo, help me keep the site goodies for members only; lots of reasons.  We'll use, like, the honor system.  Cool?

 

You may now return to accusing me of feeling superior, yet spending all your energy constantly talking about me for three straight days after I've left the room.

I'll likely be banned for this.

Look! Three days later you're here again demonstrating your stupefyingly tremendous ego. I'm shocked. Why not pull your head out of your ass and realize that the real problem isn't the veracity of your work, but rather that you are an asshole.

That statement has... flaws. To put it mildly.

I've read through this thread, as well as various posts on your own Legacy site. You come off exceedingly pleased with yourself and you are, to put it plainly, rude.

I know the simplest solution is to not read this thread or ignore you, which after this post I most certainly will do. I'm stunned, though, at your lack of class and your lack of respect for the work of others.

I won't echo the sentiments of others here on this forum, but I do hope you find great satisfaction in knocking the work of others that, quite visibly, has brought members of this site together, while your project has brought only you... and, well, only you and it together.

One of my early iterations of Legacy was largely based on the 2004 DVD. It's more trouble than it's worth, and mostly, the best stuff simply isn't in the data anymore to pull out.  You can improve it on its own, but you can't use it as a proper source.

 

I think Harmy's Despecialized is a nice offering which could've gone to much greater lengths to improve upon the sources it draws from.  Adywan's tasteless, amateurish hackjobs represent the antithesis of everything my project stands for.  Half of what keeps me going in the dark times is just knowing that that his shit is out there making things worse.  So I guess they're not total wastes. I'm convinced he gave Lucas the idea for those godawful blinking Ewoks with all of his After Effects 101 dicking around.

At least their work is available to view.

The same cannot be said for yours.

 Winning.

Shush, you.

 

Anyway, I'm currently using Handbrake to rip the 720p DEED for the iPad. Looking forward to the results! I think I'll be ripping as many of the fan edits/preservation efforts as possible- I can be a nerd wherever I go.

Thanks again, Harmy, for your work (you, too, DJ, as i know you're reading this thread!)

Are The Star Wars Movies Your Favourite Movies?

IMO Forrest Gump is one of the best films ever made. It just went down on my list, because I've seen it like million times - I already watched it like 10 times since I got it on Blu-Ray. I think I'm gonna go watch it now...

I agree with you! That film still connects to me emotionally EXACTLY the same way it did when I first saw it. It's my girlfriend's favorite film, so we watch it a lot in our home.

-Terminator 2: Judgment Day

-Jurassic Park

-Se7en

-The Silence of the Lambs

-Back to the Future

-The Nightmare Before Christmas

-Alien

This list has all the movies that I can sit down to watch and enjoy immediately. My love for them has never dulled due to repeated viewing; they are fresh experiences every time. Also, these movies are all very inspiring creatively and get my engines going in that respect. These are the films I can't wait to share with my kids (in the case of some, when they're old enough!)

Worst Dialogue from............................The Phantom Menace!
Time

"You're a Gungan, aren't you?"

And, as Queen of the planet, I have no idea about the species sharing it with me...

I loves me The Phantom Menace, but this always bothered me. Oh, and:

"The day started pretty okey-day with brisky mornin' munchin', then boomdegasser, crash into the boss's headlibber, then banished."

I think. Anyone want to check my copy here?

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Time

DominicCobb said:

About these Blu-rays: I'm literally watching Episode II as I post this and I do have to say the teal shift makes it seem less cartoony. But the real reason I 'm posting this is because I noticed that during Anakin's dream, there is now audio of his mother crying his name (in a distressed way). I just thought this was odd since its a change that I didn't even hear about. It's actually a good change in my opinion because, well, that dream was a little weird before. It makes me wonder though, are there more audio changes that people have found? If most people missed this one than surely there's more. Anyone know?

I posted earlier that there is possibly new audio in Revenge of the Sith, when the clones repel from the rafters during Obi-Wan's battle with General Grievous. They are shouting commands now and can be heard communicating. I swear it's new, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't have an Episode III DVD handy for comparison.

Blu-Ray and other HD box size STAR WARS covers
Time

I'm using standard Blu-Ray cases. I sort of cannibalized my own collection for them. It seems to me that you are having printing problems of some kind, maybe? Relative to the image, is there any of it missing? The cover should occupy all of the clear plastic real estate. If it isn't, it's probably a printing issue.

I'm going to investigate those cases. On that note, have you ever visited this site?

Very useful.
