Are the two ladies in that shot clones?

They look very similar.

I was thinking more like 'man, those clothes are very non-Star Wars.' :p Like something you'd see an Earthling wearing walking down any street. Where's the zazz?!

Thanks for the info, C3PX. A bit rich for my blood right now, but maybe someday...

Sounds good. I'd ask for an ETA, but that gets tiresome. ;)

This board is also where I learned about the book The Secret History Of Star Wars - a very interesting read.

I know I haven't read that one. Thanks for the recommendation. Is it still in print?

Luke: "Who's that guy?"
Ben: "My old master."
Luke: "Oh yeah, um...Quinine Chin?"

Wait...you can edit video in Photoshop? News to me. :p Or is it more like making an animated gif, where it just turns video into individual frames so you can mess with them, then do the actual video editing/playing in another program? I have CS3, too.

^Memories, huh? :) It was still in the thread. I guess DE stored it at a different site.

I'm looking through the old Darth Editous ESB thread (here) and here's an interesting thought he made: "When Vader chops through the railing, it looks like Luke's lightsabre should have chopped through it at the base. Of course, if that happened, that section of railing would tumble into the abyss..." He said this with the purpose of making it happen.

And: "my version of the Emperor scene will be a shot-for-shot replica of the original (the SE DVD changes a lot of the shots around), and will include a side view of Ian McDiarmid saying "He could destroy us" which is not present in the 2006 DVD (how I do that I'll leave you to guess)." Ooo!

And MagnoliaFan said: "Oh, and the easiest fix for the Emperor scene is to have him say "We have a new enemy... The offspring of Anakin Skywalker" or maybe combine McDiarmid saying an L sound with "Dook" from "Count Dooku" :D

AAAaNNnnDDd, a fix he made: "R2 now doesn't bounce when he falls in the hole in the Falcon's floor - he just disappears straight down." I've been asking about this one for a while now and would love to hear Ady's thoughts on it, please! ;)

And I wish I could see DE's new weather vane shot. Even Adywan said it was amazing. That goes for all the old screenshots, as all the links are dead. :(

Finally, a truly scary Emperor:

Hmm... I dunno, I like the blue in that scene, I think. Either way is good, though. How do you use Photoshop in conjunction with video? I thought you'd do color changes within the video program. Of course, I barely know what I'm talking about.

So, what did Luke mean by 'there's something familiar about this place?' :p

I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything two Wednesdays ago, but I could be mistaken.

Very nice, Bingo. Some of your best yet, I think.

And hey, it's another ship landing scene! :p

I call for a montage of Prequel Ship Landing scenes!  Someone put it on YouTube and let's see how not to progress a story!

That would be funny. I hope someone (Davnes?!) will actually do it.

Oh, and speaking of Davnes, if you haven't watched his video called "Full House Wars", you must! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMiGLKif8w4&feature=channel_page

They must be using really old ones, because the difference has been as high as 4 or 5 cents, despite it staying at the same amount for a week. :p Oh well.

Anyway, I'd love to donate and I may do so soon. Can't afford to send a lot, but I'm sure it all adds up and becomes a big help.

Very nice, Bingo. Some of your best yet, I think.

And hey, it's another ship landing scene! :p

^You may notice that Paypal's currency value is always lower than that of XE.com's, which I use as sort of "the" currency value...place. (for example, XE.com will say that the Canadian dollar is worth 82 cents US, but Paypal says it's worth 79 cents US...) I asked Paypal about it and they gave me one of those non-answer answers. I think it's highly unfair to undervalue my money and it seems like a way for them to make money, pure and simple. If anyone can explain it to me rationally, that would be great. Haha.

Yikes! If you need any discs, Paul, let me know! I have a few that you may want/need again.

Love to read this: "a bunch of hidden instruments revealed." :D

I bet some of the people that actually played on these songs were disappointed in the recordings. I'm sure they'd appreciate the work you've done as well.

That is about the most amazing reproduction of a prop I have ever seen!

Yeah, really! Amazing! :D

vaderios said:

Still i like the new SE Xwings take off from yavin instead of dots

Yes, and how they lock their s-foils in attack position in a more random order, too. I don't know why they did it in sequence originally, like they were performing an aerial show for the queen or something. ;)

Ripplin said: I saw an old Marantz turntable with RCA jacks later in the day at Salvation Army (along with a matching receiver), but there's no way I'd pay $50 for it.

If they were in good condition, that sounds like a bargain.

I agree, but I still couldn't really afford to buy it, especially as I don't have much vinyl and have two good receivers anyway. If it's still around for a while and they lower the price, I might get it.

Sounds Temting! I want to help and donate, but i dont want any early spoilers and clips..

I'm sure you can donate and just say 'this is vaderios, and please don't send me the spoiler clips.' :p

^Yes, OCP did it. "Return of the Ewok and Other Little Films." Much of the quality isn't great, but some is very good (including Fett in a hallway, I believe), as some clips were used in a documentary LFL made. ("Empire of Dreams", maybe? Can't remember.)

My poor grandmother has GOUT something fierce! Too bad we can't Pwnage Edition her feet.

Do you have EditDroid's ROTJ yet, ABC? Would love to hear someday if you can do anything with that "lost" music form Jabba's Palace. :)

^Ha! That's a good point, actually. Not something I'd thought of, but it's true. A landing from the cockpit is a neat idea, too.
