Arguably the hardest one of all, considering just how horrendous the ESB GOUT is. I predict you'll be seeking some assistance from other sources?
Best of luck, either way.
Give the OP a break. Unless you yourself have done a project all by yourself that you can share for reference, why be snarky?
:(
?!?!?!?!?

Too bad. I'm not as eloquent as most of you, so I just try my best to put into words what goes thru mah brains.
Whoever told you that? You're the most approachable person in this thread so far, and have explained your thoughts well. :)
Finished watching 'Scrooge: The Literary Cut'. Good stuff.
Some of the imagery was even creepier than the director probably intended. The lamenting spirits are nightmare fuel.
The maid thinking Scrooge lost his mind was hilarious. "I must stand on my head!"
^ I can get behind that, yes.

TPM: Daneditor's Radical Re-Edit.
AOTC and ROTS: (pending)
ANH: That bootleg provided by AntcuFaalb is pretty cool. Available now on MySpleen.
ESB: Pugg's 16mm.
ROTJ: (none)
AOTC: None. I've concluded what I suspected for years. This film is in soldier terms FUBAR. "Army of the Republic" does need an honorable mention.
ROTS: Stankpac's "Revenge of the Sith [Special Edtion]", though I still much prefer the novelization.
ROTJ: Daneditor's Radical Re-Edit. It's still in workprint stage.
Even if the universe being indifferent were a "bad" thing, how should that determine whether you believe it or not? Is it because you can't prove yourself right or wrong either way, and belief makes you more comfortable?

The usual idea is that, without some sort of ultimate authority, there's no way to absolutely say that something is bad.
Or good, for that matter. And this is one of the reasons why atheism holds no appeal for me; a godless universe is ultimately an amoral universe, regardless of what anyone may say.
You only accept the truth if the truth appeals to you?

Frink and Cobb: Darn. I wanted to be the source of his inspiration.
The acting was decent, especially for a fan film.

Sure it does. If a belief system has undesirable or unappealing end-results or implications, that changes how people view it.
That would be the fault of the belief system or enlightened/disillusioned person. Morality still stands on its own as a separate topic.
I'm not saying atheists don't have morals and I'm not saying theists do. I'm interested in the justification for those morals.
Some can be justified logically. If a man sleeps with his friend's wife, that friend could find out and become an enemy. The adulterer then has less support in life. What does that have to do with God or a supreme authority?
Others are visceral. It's a form of opinion.
Morality, as Leonardo mentioned, probably has its roots in pack preservation.
But while the question may be relevant to some religions, the question is irrelevant to someone's lack of belief in God.
Morality and theism at their core are two different things. Christians, for example, are a bunch drawing an abstract connection between the two.
You could go the creepy Michael Myers route where he gives zero audible reaction.
There's one with Patrick Stewart.
The spherical torture droid's needle.
I wasn't talking from that level. And you well know it.

The nature of Revisited, to me, is change for the sake of quality, not change for the sake of change. That is the difference. How does changing "oomphs" and "ahhhs" add up to being something that absolutely needs to be done for ESB:R when it was fine in ESB to begin with?
Why did fixing the blaster bolts in ANH need to be done?
The man makes one detail-oriented suggestion and people leap on him. Well, Adywan's edits do in fact revolve around detail much of the time.
Many theists believe they derive their sense of morality and justice directly from God. Something is right or wrong because God commanded them in ancient texts.
Or others believe the conscience is God speaking to them. "Stop lying, it's wrong."
^ I can take that one if Leonardo isn't in the mood.

How about an Ancient Astronauts Disappreciation Thread?
How about a DuracellEnergizer Hates the World thread?
This is a sad day for cyborg rights. I am so sorry, Ric.
Puggo's 16mm ANH and ESB are on MySpleen.
Follow your dreams, DarthKenobi. Please do your restoration. And then someday link me to your latest fan edit.
I'm staying in the vineyard and doing a real man's work.
The restoration base is drying up for good, DarthKenobi.
However, fan edits with new ideas will always have a built-in audience. Why not try that?
Mmkay!
