Any ETA on when the BluRays will be uploaded?

I think that ETA is still an IF... or has it become certainty?

Anyways, great work d_j!
I never thought I'd be so happy to see those Rancor matte lines again =D

This is going to be BD25's as well? Daaaammmn, where's my Amazon cart?! LOL

Goddammit now I don't know which to choose from :) They're all fantastic! :(

For some reason, downloading from rapidshare via jdownloader actually works really fast nowadays (no waiting periods in between).

I don't know how much longer it will last before they change their policy again, so if there's stuff you need (preservations, fanedits), you better get 'em fast people! :)

Well it has been a fun time, and it has been cool, now it is time to get ALL SW related files and folders OFF

So I take it, you've scrapped your 1997SE V2? If you have, it's fine since you do totally deserve retirement after completing this thorough set.

Very true. Although to be honest, I've been looking forward to the SE v2 set too. The Special Editions were the ones I grew up with.

d_j, I'm glad you finally got this thing wrapped up.
Harmy, pardon my french, but your shit looks great, as usual :)
I look very forward to the next few days :)

dark_jedi said:

The BD artwork(3 sets for each movie) will be uploaded with the BD when I am ready, but the people that donated blanks will get an email with a download link to all covers on or before the BD's arrive to you.

 

Lovely :)

Again, take all the time you need, d_j, even if you want to be done with it already :)

dark_jedi said:

I hope you guys don't mind

Take your time ;)

dark_jedi said:

after seeing all this shit, a new DVD version would be a good idea, but not from me LOL.

Frink? You're up! LOL

Dear Lord, it's Kenkraly all over again! :)

I always wondered who that girl was :) Thanks Frink ;)

Look who thinks he's TV's Frink.

There's only one me, baby.  I'm the glue that's holding this hole thing together.

Now then, don't you have some reefer to smoke so you can hand out hugs and kisses?

LOL. That's Frink ;)

snowtrooper said:

I actually have a list of the bad frames I found on all the DVDs. But you decided to ignore me the first time I offered to help you...

This is childish. Nothing more. You deliberately commented on this post to say you have them, only to deny dark_jedi receiving them. Why not just keep quiet and not post?

Everyone who can be helpful, is doing so, including myself.
If you can't, then just find another interesting thread. It's better for everyone.

EDIT: Furthermore, dark_jedi is right. I saw your comment. Yours just drowned in between a lot of other comments. There's nothing wrong with that. This thread clearly shows dark_jedi has his hands full. All you had to do was post your message again. But even something as simple as that didn't work.

dark_jedi said:

as many as I can before I get bored of this shit LOL.

I thought that happened ages ago, LOL :)

The yellow in Vader's frame would bother me less than the ESB frame below, I guess. Although I did only say less, haha :)

And I agree, I still can't grasp the sheer genius of Harmy's design.
So simple, and yet so effective! :)

Great news, d_j.

Personally, if you could remove the really in-your-face ones, I don't think the others would bother me at all. The one you showed from Star Wars, for example, wouldn't bother me. It already looks great as it is, and let's face it, you're not a magician. You can only do so much with the means you have.

I already immensely appreciate all the hard work you've put into this.

Because, after this, we'll have to wait for either access to a 35mm film scan of the trilogy or Lucas to decide to be reasonable and release a fully restored new transfer of the trilogy, if we want to see Star Wars without the stupid SE stuff in any better quality. =)

I agree, Dunedain.

I still feel that, instead of throwing money away on countless Star Wars-related junk, and the soon-to-be-released Blu Ray box, Lucas might as well throw just that little bit more money out instead, and release a fully restored new transfer of the original, unaltered trilogy.
Whatever that guy keeps doing, it all seems to cost him peanuts anyway.

Very interesting read nonetheless, yoda :)

dark_jedi said:

not sure if everyone wants to wait a little more for me to re-render and encode.

Go nuts, d_j. I can wait :)

He read one of the articles I posted from Cracked, which shed new theories on supposed screw ups from George Lucas, not making them so much of a screw up, and making them seem more intentional.

Harmy, those are.... ***speechless***

I much prefered the take on the clone wars to what we were given.

There you have it :)

dark_jedi said:

Thanks Everyone, I start testing Jedi tomorrow, we are almost there.

Even if you don't believe any of it, you have to admit it's an intriguing read. We all know Lucas couldn't come up with that anyway, but it could ease the burden of watching the trilogies if you try to keep in mind that R2 is a secret agent, and Chewie isn't a lapdog =D

I dare you to read #1 on this list, and not look at the OT differently from now on. I dare you all... since we're going off track anyway (which I'm not...)

EDIT: if this is for real, Lucas is a damn genius and fooled us all!

Not to mention this #1, which is even more intriguing!

muddyknees, I think regularjoe was referring to the discussion about the interior design of Vader's meditation chamber.
