Idea: a Star Wars SuperTrailer?

I too would like to see the CIII exclusive "Celebrate the Saga" video if any one has a copy of it and would like to share.

As for a super trailer, someone on TFN made one called "Legacy" which is about shows the legacy of the Skywalker family through all six films. It doesn't use Star Wars music until the very end, but it is creative and the only trailer I know of that spans all six films.

Read more about it here: Jedi Council Forums - "Legacy Trailer"

You can download it directly here in tow different flavors:

Legacy Trailer - LARGE
Legacy Trailer - MEDIUM

War of the Worlds deserves an edit. I was looking forward to that movie and what I got was encounters of the third kind. You know when Spielberg comes into a movie that the family is going to be dysfunctional, but there is so much that doesn't make sense. The scene with the crashed plane and the tv van was probably the worst.

I would like to see this War of the Worlds be made a lot closer to the original movie, which is still a classic in my opinion.

Ring 2 was a joke. While the first one was actually kind of spooky and erie, the sequel is a tribute to THE SEQUELS THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN. I was laughing out loud at that stupid movie.

Watch at your own risk...of dying of laughter and the inevitable head-scratching "huh?"

I took my wife to A Lot Like Love and we had a good time. We liked it. There was a lot about that movie that was reminiscent of our own relationship and what we went through before we finally got together.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything. I honestly don't read this thread very often so I didn't know that you had done that. I guess I should have checked it out before I said anything (Keeps mouth shut tightly as foot hovers dangerously close in front of it).

No, not a fan of FB... I did think the covers were kind of cool though.

Wesyeed,

Thanks for finding that!


Did any one look at the picture of the cancelled siege book. It is a pic of the barnes & noble website. While it is interesting that at one time had a listing that never quite made it, the thing that intrigued me was the price. A whopping $125.82! They must have been planning one heck a book...more like the Encyclopedia Brittanica!


Here is the link to the NJO cartoon these guys are trying to make. Not much there right now, but I hope they come up with something cool.

I'm glad you liked it TM. I just recently noticed what you said about the inside of the Star Wars logo being black. I didn't even really notice until I brightened my screen. I chose to leave it the way it is as a matter of personal preference. If you it want the "official way" I can change it and the brightness of the stars and can make another version that you can download. About the stars being too bright...someone had mentioned that in the screen pics I posted they could barely make out the stars. So, just in case I made them a bit more defined and more visible. Comparing my video and the official I thought they looked pretty close, but I can change that too.

Let me know if you would like me to redo that for you.


Again, glad you liked it. All I ask is for a copy of your edit when you're done.

Most people at the Planet forums are your run of the mill 30-year-old-virgins-living-in-their-parents-basement. Not quite as bad as MF.com, but almost. Anyway, some excited fan posted a link to the review BoF gave greencapt's Batman & Robin edit. Within three posts it was shot down because, and I quote "This is not official, so it doesn't matter in the end."

Opinions like that make me want to kick someone's ass.

Ha, ha...ha.


There are even more inconsistencies than what I had originally noticed. When they say the battle will be fought in the present I would assume that to be anytime around when Reese comes before Skynet becomes aware. So, while I think the word present is a bit flexible, obviously this fight didn't happen and Judgment day happened.

I just realized that if you ignore the events of Terminator 2, T1 and T3 make a lot more sense together. Sarah gets knocked up and gives birth to John. John grows up always hearing about Judgment say and how he is supposed to be some sort of great leader, He classifies it as BS and goes on with his life (mostly). His mom kind of gets crazier as she gets older and finally dies still preparing for Judgment day. John is devastated by the loss of his mother and starts to reconsider his view on what his mother always told him. Due more to paranoia than anything esle, he lives off the grid. Cut to T3. Now we don't have the messyness of Cyberdine having been blown up already, no T1000 to deal with, etc. The way you explain the events of T3 is that Arnold plays hs role from T2, but the TX isn't here so much to kill John, but to insure that Judgment day happens. Messing with the timeline back in 1984 has caused ripples that could ultimately destroy the Skynet ruled future. So, in another paradox, the latest Terminator prototype is sent back in time to ensure that Judgment day does happen and the time ripple anamoly doesn't cause them to never be created. John has the chance to stop all this from happening, i.e. "no fate but what you make," but blows it. The movie would be a total downer. Plus, it would give more depth to John's character because he wouldn't only be the hero of the human resistance, he would also be part of the reason there had to be one.

The third movie could go about the war between man and the machines. It would be awesome to finally have a movie set in that time period. It would be set at around the end of the war, and at the end of the movie, just as victory is won, a terminator is sent back in time to kill John as a boy. John has no choice but to send someone back to protect himself, and hopes that perhaps this time he could even stop this hellish future from happening. T2 becomes the fourth movie and the end of the series.

There would have to be a lot of little edits, mostly in T3, but it could happen and whoa...I am really liking this idea. If they do come out a fourth Terminator movie, and it set in the future like they are talking about, then changing the story to this might even be possible. Oh man, would that be cool....

With DSL it takes 3+ hours? Gee...I normally don't have that kind speed problem with Megaupload even using dial-up. I can try Rapidshare, personally I think they suck, but it could take as long as Thursday before I can get it uploaded as I have to use someone else's DSL to do it. I'll let you know if I get it uploaded any sooner. If I have time I will try to get it done tomorrow, but I can't make any promises.

No apology needed. I think you explained yourself fine.

I too thought that the explanation of Skynet being software across the internet was cool, and I do realize that it was skynet that was responsible for Judgment day and not the Terminators seeing as that they were just the army. The problem is that in T3 they do say that there was no stopping Judgment day. Even in the epilogue voice-over by Nick Stahl, he says "We were never meant to stop Judgment day..." Huh? Since when? What was the point of fighting all this time if we couldn't stop it?

The other thing that bothered me was the lame death they gave to Sarah Conner. They go from having hope at the end of Terminator 2 to her being dead and making provisions for John for when Judgment day came, i.e. leaving weapons in her grave.

There are just so many things that are confusing...if old John Conner is killed in the future, then what purpose is there for another Terminator to go back in time and try to kill him then? Apparently the beginning shot of Nick as old John Conner was before he was killed, and the shot shows human victory. I don't know if this victory is a small one, or the ultimate. If humanity has finally won in that scene, what does John's death mean for the human race?

fanboy - I think for your edit that it is important to include at least part of the Sgt. Candy deleted scene. In the beginning it explains that the government bought or acquired this technology from Cyberdine somehow. I remember watching the movie wondering how we went from Cyberdine being the creator of Skynet to this government program. That scene explains. So, please include this scene.

That's all for now.

It's an okay movie. Not really original, but it is entertaining. I felt that a lot more could have been done with it, but it failed to meet its potential. It's true that most of the movie, or at least the highlights, were shown in the trailers. Not much else really happened that was exciting. Unless....of course you're also a fan of Star Trek and you got a kick out of seeing Neelix sans makeup as one of the inhabitants of their utopian society .

You know a movie that did surprise me by being fairly good was Stealth. I thought it was going to be another one of those "man makes machine, machine rebels and kills man, man destroys machine," stories. While that was certainly what the trailers made it out to be, I was delightfully surprised to see there was more to it than that. I wouldn't say the movie is for everybody, but at least I didn't mind killing $19.50 (for my wife, dad, and myself) to go see it.

I never quite understood why people had a problem with this, changing the past is integral to the plot of T2, the machines were only created because time was changed, and then it was changed back at the end of the film, it's a big paradox and it is different to most films dealing with time travel (i.e. Twelve monkeys where everything is preset), in these films time is fluid (like back to the future things can be changed)

Actually, CYBERDINE Industries, who was the creator of the machines, was in business in the original Terminator. There may have been a paradox sub-plot there (not talking about John's father and Sarah having sex and getting her pregnant with John which was an obvious paradox), but the machines being created because of the destroyed machine left in the Cyberdine building can be taken either way in my opinion. They would have come up with the technology eventually, it just would have taken longer.

"No fate but what we make." the future is not determined, that's the whole point of the second and third film.


No, it is the point of the second film which is contradcted in the third film. Like you said, time is fluid, not preset, but Judgment day is apparently set. The only thing that can be changed is the date and the characters involved. That is what contradicts the other two movies. If there is "no fate but what we make," then how come we can't stop Judgment day from happening?

No offense intended here, but this isn't a new idea. I used to follow forum discussion about this and many of the ideas they had for editing it were quite compelling. I checked the link since reading about your proposal and it seems that link no longer works. I am going to see if I can track it down and though and perhaps it will help you with your edit.

T3 badly needs improvement. Going into the movie they ask to forget everythng we've learned in the first two films, mainly being "No fate but what we make." The other thing that doesn't make any sense and this is a fault with all of the Terminator movies, why keep going a little less far into the past? The first time they try to kill Sarah Conner. Next they go back an dtry to kill John Conner. Next they try to go back and kill John Conner's lieutenants and John Conner. Why not just kill Sarah as a baby, or her parents, or John as a baby...no excuses the movies may have given made sense to me. And the thing is, if Judgment day is inevitable, them why are the Terminators bothering to go at all. Apparently they kill John Conner in the end. They must be very concerned about what the future holds....anyway, sorry about ranting there, the concept behind T3 really upset me.

If you could even make Nick Stahl seem less like whiny SW Ep. II Anakin/Hayden Christensen, that would be fantastic.

Hope all goes well with your edit.
