You should read the novelizations sometime. They explain a lot of stuff the movies didn't. Extra scenes, too, like Vader and the Emperor talking about Yoda in ROTJ.
I was just watching that scene the other day and thought about how great Alec's expression is there...
Janskeet, you really need to learn about editing and make your own version. I don't know if it could still be called Star Wars, though! ;)

I'm thinking I should also start taking it to e-mail after the initial PM, because I have the same problem as you. :p And remember when it used to be something like 50 total! Ha!

Yikes! Imagine the frustration that could cause... :s Have they been told over there?

I'd love to find an old post of yours that says 'I love continuity errors!' but I probably wouldn't find it, right?
If I said it, you would have to take it out of context to do it. :-P
But I think that most movie reviews on posters and trailers do that, so I couldn't be too hard on you.
That's true. I noticed in a commercial for some new CG movie that one reviewer said it's the 'best movie ever.' Oh really. What is he, five? Maybe he said 'This is the best movie ever...in Bizarro World.' ;)

Lots of valid points, but I'm still leaning heavily towards 'there should be more change than we see, and the designers aren't making it, for whatever reason.' --> Comfort?
^Yeah, the technology is all over the place in that universe. At least in Futurama, they explained why it wasn't as super-advanced as you'd think. :p
How awesome would it be to have The Stig in a pod? :D They'd have to have some sort of weird music or Morse code or something playing when he gets near the camera. What sort of musical mood would he be in for an event like that? Heh.
corellian77 said:Barring anyone finding some nice HD documentary footage that fits the bill, I would imagine your work presents the best option for tweaking that ESB shot.
I think you're definitely right on this. The only thing that has been suggested and not reported back on yet is the Planet Earth documentary. (I've asked a guy I know who has it if there's anything like what we need) Haven't seen it, but I have a feeling that if there are any shots like what is needed, it'll be the type that's shot on a really sunny day with tons of glare coming off the ice, which is beautiful, but no good in this case. ;)
^^I watched *buffering* it...and wat*buffering*ched *buffering* it...and *buffering*watched it........ Yeah, it took around three times longer than it actually was to get through the whole thing. Oh well. Worth it, even though I'll never play it.
^Word. That was pure goofiness, as was the whole diner scene, especially with that stupid robot waitress.
That game trailer was stunning, but it's a shame that it's a trailer and not game footage. :p Oh, and no purple sabers?! Haha. That part with all the red sabers running at the blue and green ones was cool.
Wow, Serji-X, did you actually work on Hyperdrive?! :o I love[d] that show!
You could even make it an animatic if you could overlay a speeder cockpit into the frame. Could look neat-o. At any rate, it's great to see others being able to help out on the project and even though there are no more previews, this kinda/sorta is one, innit? ;)
To me, it looks like he's sniffling, like he has a cold. :)
adywan said:you need long enough footage of fast moving ground for this to be able to work.
One word: conveyor belt.
:p
Interesting post about Paypal, brash_stryker. Sometimes it works out great. A friend of mine bought a guitar and when he received it, it was not in great shape. Lots of flaws and damage that was not shown in pictures and the description mentioned nothing about. In the end, my friend not only got all his money back, but got to keep the guitar because the seller wasn't responding or something. Ha!

Where are you Asteroid-Man? "Grasping at straws" is widely used in Canada and the USA as well.
Asteroid-Man said: WHAT!? Are you sure we use that in Canada?
I've been Canadian for 31 years and didn't have to look it up. ;) Don't worry about it. Haha. "Grasping at straws" (or "clutching at straws") is quite common, but it's just something that doesn't come up much in normal conversation.
EyeShotFirst said:Anikan said if they have sensors on them so if they try to escape they BLOW YOU UP!!!!
That reminded me of one of my favorite skits from Cartoon Planet (TBS's Space Ghost show):
Space Ghost: Hey Zorak, what do you want to do?
Zorak: I dunno, what do you want to do?
Space Ghost: I dunno, what do you want to do?
Zorak: Let's go outside and play.
Space Ghost: Good idea! Let's go outside and play!
Brak: You can't go outside and play!
Space Ghost: Oh? And why not?
Brak: Because space is a vacuum! A vacuum!
Space Ghost: So?
Brak: If you go outside and play, you'll BLOW UP! Do you want to BLOW UP?!
Space Ghost: *hmm....*
Zorak: *hmm...*

Possessed said:An update which is in fact not an update at all, but a sad story.
I somehow accidently overwrote my project file and everything I did so far was lost.
Ouch! Sorry to hear it! Hope you haven't lost any hair, or had too much turn white over that. :p
I must say that when I've had similar setbacks, I always do WAY better the next time. I find I work much faster because I have a better way of doing it and I also remember to add many things I forgot the first time. (I'm thinking specifically of a huge dream journal I wrote, lost, then started again from scratch...) Hopefully your re-do will turn out that way too.
Zion said:I'm also working on a cutom ROTS DVD complete with "Backstroke" subs from marioxb and the official RiffTrax commentary. I definitely need to do a Holiday Special DVD next.
That Backstroke/Rifftrax ROTS sounds great! I don't know why someone didn't do a proper Backstroke years ago. I mean, they could've just taken the regular DVD and manually added the subtitles as they appear in Backstroke. If someonme already did, I certainly don't know about it. Always up for more Holiday Special goofiness, too. ;)
Great to see some fresh activity in this thread again!
ThrowgnCpr said:this is turning into a fantastic project. can't wait to see what comes of it.
Absolutely! When I saw the lists of what the Alex and Aaron discs have, I was amazed. And hey, if it has Gil Gerard on it, you know it must be good! ;)
ChainsawAsh said:Cut him out completely. He serves no purpose in ROTJ.
Absolutely! That was fanservice, pure and simple. If he had not become popular after ESB, he may not have been in it at all! People would have just thought 'how did Han end up at Jabba's palace? Oh yeah, that bounty hunter brought him in for the reward.'
As for the lightning/Palpy/Vader scene, I just made a comment about it at YouTube and I'd like to hear some thoughts from others. Another user suggested said "what if cutting the "you will be destroid" line? you know, "so be it, jedi" and then he attacks."I replied "I must say I really like that suggestion of cutting the "you will be destroyed" line! I mean, it's cool that he would just start going nuts with the lightning, rather than announcing his intentions beforehand. ;)"
Yes/no?
